I saw Jethro Tull perform this 50 years ago as a young lad, I’m so glad to see (and hear) young people appreciating it now … awesome job to you all 👍

Me too in Hull circa 1969 / 70
I had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull perform Thick As A Brick, live at The Royal Albert Hall back in 1972 and can truely say that I am impressed by the ability of these young people, and am EXTREAMLY happy that 40 years on there are people who appreciate the music that was created before they were born.
Thank you for your very kind words, they mean a lot! Especially from someone who has witnessed the real deal. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!
I was at that gig too - the first gig I ever went to. I was 15 and bought the album the next day. Since then had CD, download and it still gets played a lot. This version is great.
Tears of joy streaming down my face....
There is hope for humanity
Love to all of you,
Fan-f**king- tastic

Agree. All of you are phenomenal. Thanks. ‼️👍❤️
@@carloribaux Hey Carlo man - hope all is well !! First saw your amazing percussion prowess when you and your friends coved , "Thick as a Brick ", while in school at the Berklee College of Music , Boston ‼️‼️ You are all phenomenal. Also love your percussion work in Switzerland.
Thank you for following my work! You rock! 😍
As a retired music lecturer and fan of Jethro Tull, I am potentially your harshest critic. THIS IS SUPERB. TAAB is a mountain to climb both musically and technically. Well done to you all. I sit here in Yorkshire England with a new passion for cover bands when it is done correctly. This is well worthy and Ian Anderson would be very proud that you are undertaking his complex compositions. Well done to all. Excellent job.
Wow, your words mean a lot to us - especially with your professional background!

Holy cow. This just basically renewed my will to live.
+Mark Silcox best comment ever! Glad you like it! :)
lol
Me too !...what an accomplishment. The mix and recording are top notch too.
@@stephenbrown7545 .. +1. .. Huge accomplishment,, and life's renewal. .. Intention vs method. .. A JT fan the first go-round. .. Count me in for this band of musicians!. Great cover. Cheers, Vail, Colorado
How many 10k hours did you guys each put into this? Bach couldn't have done it better.
As a lifelong fan of Jethro Tull , since the early 1970's , first off let me say it's rare to even find a band with even the ability to attempt Jethro Tull , due to the complexity , time signature changes , etc. Every one of these kids are very talented. Milena is especially talented on the flute , she nailed every piece. Carlo , is a phenomenal drummer. Barriemore Barlow is one of the all time great drummers , and you did remarkable work Carlo !! Excellent work by everyone. Thanks. ‼️👍♥️
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing that Ian played the acoustic part, sang and played the flute on this.
Totally❤
Best Jethro Tull cover *EVER* !! Bloody fantastic!
Thank you!! :)
I have sincerely not seen anything comparable outside of a JT performance. Great musicianship! Thanks!
@@paulchretien4995 I In no way want to distract from your reply as i absolutely love this rendition, especially as it is complete.Being a fellow Tullfan i just want to recommend the Paul and Marcie Forrest cover,(edit version) Just in case you havent heard it
@@carloribaux very accurate percussives by my estimation - BRAVO!

Absolutely fabulous, 50 years after JT introduced us to this masterpiece.

Incredible cover of probably the most incredible progressive rock song in my lifetime, and I am 67. I've been a huge fan of Jethro Tull since I first heard this on vinyl. Wow! Is all I can say.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already!
I'm 67 too. Ditto!
This is stark-raving incredible. The flute is fantastic. Keyboard, great. Guitars, great. Drums, perfect. Vocals a bit different, but still excellent. The thing I wonder, who on earth would attempt this ?? Got my answer. I've played the original 100+ times, and this is a very worthy cover. Absolutely terrific.

I just love this. I view it as a group of people all of whom loved a piece of music and decided to get together and spend tons of hours on a project just for the fun of it. Exactly the kind of thing to do when you are young (which I am not anymore). It takes me back, though. Great job by all.
The fact that you did the entire 43 minutes of the song live is amazing especially as Jethro Tull rarely did the entire song live at all.

True story.
I didn't know Tull ever played it entirely live ?
@@Akamas_Nisiadis There is a live version from I think 2011ish I found on Spotify
@@Akamas_NisiadisYes, it has been done, but it is not something they did often. It is too hard to do live.
In the beginning I thougt it was only the first 4 minuters they would play, but hooray,, the whole TAAB unfolded in a very good performance. You could critisise elements in the piece, but I rejoiced in the enthusiasm of the young musicians. I myself was 19 years old when the LP was released and I know it by heart. Exellent job.
One point to mention if improvement is wanted: The flautist was on two legs all the time......

Stumbled upon this, and I must say, I am speechless. I have been a fan of this album since I was very young, and to hear a cover version pulled off so expertly is nothing short of amazing. Thick as a Brick is an incredibly challenging piece.....this group made it look easy, and FUN. Hats off, wherever you are.

@@randyodierno1743 Ah, that's cool to hear! It took me two attempts to go all the way through myself..
70's progressive rock at its best and you guys absolutely killed it! Big Jethro Tull fan here and I am stunned at your performance. This is a very technical, difficult piece to play. Magnificent job - all of you!!!!!

At the age of 15 (60 now) I purchased the LP the day it hit the stores in early 1972. It didn't leave my turntable for months. Never thought I'd live to see a younger generation tackle such a complex piece of music in it's entirety. I'm thoroughly impressed by the instrumentalists - excellent job, one in all. For an encore, I'd like to see your group tackle A Passion Play. I'd pay to see that performance.
Thank you so much for you kind words!! Especially from someone that also has a close relationship with the piece. Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
What a amazing sound. Milena is awesone!
Thank you so much for you kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
I totally enjoyed this performance and I give them A for effort in tackling a musical piece this complicated and long, created at least 25 years before they were born. Keep it up.

As another female flute player who has numerous performances of Tull music under her belt, I'd like give a special nod to Milena, but of course to all of you for a job well done!
Is this reply from Marcie Forrest ? If so. then i think this is not only a lovely compliment but great praise :)
@@tullfanll yes, it is me, Marcie Forrest (I have another CZcams channel now). Thank you for the compliment as well! :-)

@@garyjoye4868 No, Gary, this is a separate project. I just happened to find this clip by accident at the time.
I am 75 years old and at this age now I have time to listen to all the great music I may have missed I jumped around group to group for my favorite tunes. Now I’m back to Tull thank you❤️
I was their age when this album came out and I am blown away by this note for note cover. Amazing job.
Thank you for so much for your kind words! We tried to stay reasonably close to the original to pay proper tribute. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to my channel to support me.
I like your acoustic guitar player's hotdog suit. Perfectly adds to the satirical character of Thick as a Brick as a spoof on prog rock.

Please leave this up on youtube forever. It is a super-connection to my father and this was his favourite album.
I will!!
Impressive, I honestly didn't think it could be played live like this, surely it took incredible amounts of rehersal to get it so perfect
Thanks so much! We only had 8 two hour rehearsals, but every one came in very well prepared every time!
@@carloribaux Individual preparation makes all the difference when it comes to making the most of group rehearsals, and this habit will (and I'm sure has) served you all well in your musical careers!
@@jakollee you are very right! If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!
I've seen Jethro Tull 30 + times. There are, "Dead Heads," for the Grateful Dead, well, I'd be a Tull-Head. I've Never heard a band of musicians get this work done as perfectly as this. Our Tull Tribute band did the edited version, but I must admit, this is superior! It is nothing short of phenomenal. It is one of the most difficult songs to get right, ever written in Prog. Rock. Almost impossible actually. Astounding you guys!!
This comment has truly warmed our hearts. Thank you so much, we are very glad you appreciate our work!
I've seen Tull 44 times. I'm also a Tull head . Check it out the Daglo Pirates the singer sounds just like Ian Anderson
@@carloribaux Only just found this. Its fabulous guys. Are you still together/playing. Been a Tull fan for over 50yrs . This is one of the best "covers" I've heard and it must have taken you ages to get all the parts together and rehearse Any nay-sayers have no idea what it is like to be a musician trying to create a piece as complex as this.
@@carloribaux Man, I've found this video two years ago and I lost the count of times I came back here since then to experience this again. ♡ Fantastic performance! You are a star on drums, Mr Ribaux.
@@elpelp1878 Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying the video!!
Wow! I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this album is to play, and you freaking nailed it! Awesome!
Thank you so much for you kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
I like how the drummer didn't just copy Barlow's solo he did his own thing, and it sounded very nice. Great performances all around
more of a Clive solo
I belive as a part of their 'thesis' they needed to add original version for each band member. IIRC this was a graded University program. I hope they were given top marks!
@@paulchretien4995 it's true that I was graded for it (not the others though). I got an A! There's no clear requirement to make it original, but I really wanted to make it my own, so I did!
Thank you so much for you kind words!! A big part of my education at Berklee was focused on the art of imporvisation, so I felt like I should make that part of my final concert. I'm glad you liked it! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
@@carloribaux Oh wow, 4 years later i forgot i left this comment, and you're welcome, gonna rewatch the whole thing now.

This album IS the greatest Prog rock ever!
@@MarcusVinicius-we2pg I think many commenters here agree with you :)
I can't even imagine how much they had to rehearse for this tune, congrats for sure
We had eight two hour rehearsals as far as I remember. And thank you! :)
That is amazing!
This is GREAT!! Much respect for and admiration of all involved. This is a very demanding and challenging song to even attempt. All of you did very well in my opinion. Thanks so much for sharing this. I went to a Jethro Tull concert ( WarChild ) but unfortunately missed out on their TAAB tour. I would pay to see your band play this tribute. JT is my favorite band. TAAB my favorite album with A Passion Play next in line. Only YES comes close to JT for me. Now I am rambling, so, enough said. Thanks again.
Audacious choice for a cover, congrats on capturing that feel and layering, although I've seen Tull do this live , its amazing to see someone else do this live.
@@carloribaux well that was really fast
Mad respect for learning and executing this difficult piece of music! Well done!!

Maybe DWS will cover this outstanding piece too!
Who's DWS?
My beautiful Welch Springer Spaniel is named Biggles. Why? "So where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?" Fabulous musicians, all of them. Many thanks, you beautiful people. ❤
I’ve been a fan of JT for years and this is the first live rendition of the whole TAAB album that I’ve ever seen. Really impressive the time and effort involved in performing this complex, beautiful piece. Thank you. Got very emotional!

Wow, hard to believe some of the criticisms on this. Carlo Ribaux you guys did a great job on this. I think people really need to take a step back and understand that Jethro Tull recorded this over the course of a week in a studio, this is a faithful cover and it's done live, great production on the whole thing. That dude playing organ is amazing, and the drummer ain't too shabby either ;) Is the flautist as good as Ian Anderson? Who cares!! She's great and a lot better looking!
Jim Eisele Thanks for the kind words :)
Jim Eisele "Who cares!! She's great and a lot better looking!" Lol She's really amazing in all senses.
ditto
She's a damn good flautist but obviously no one can do it exactly like Ian Anderson. Fantastic tribute.
F!!!ING FANTASTIC COVER , IF IAN AND THE BOYS HEARD THIS THEY WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU ALL FOR SURE
Incredible. I'm in awe of how much practice and dedication that took. Smile on my face for 43 minutes and 21 seconds

a classic of rock, one of the best (long) songs in the History played with skill, love and respect. I'm jealous, I'd like to sing this!

Simply wonderful. You actually made me tear up at times with the sheer joy you played this difficult and complex piece. Your flautist should have tried the iconic one legged flute playing pose though haha.Well done all, you did Jethro Tull justice.

Wow! Was just looking around on CZcams for a "Thick as a Brick" cover and found this. Absolutely incredible!! The detail is amazing compared to the original Jethro Tull version. This is EPIC!

9 years later I find this...It is amazing...okay TAAB side one is a feat in itself but to play both sides live is remarkable. I saw Tull back on the TAAB tour and they didn't even do the whole side 2. The acoustic guitar player nailed it. Kudos to the drummer the bassist and red organ , the real glue of the band, and that quiet dude on the piano in the back. But damn that young lady is great on the flute and is into it, and is cute too! I hope she is still playing today. I live on the north shore of Boston and would have driven in to the city to see this band if I knew about it at the time. Berklee should advertise or open these recitals to the public to promote the ART... BRAVO to this production !
Thank you for your kind words! The concert was open to the public, but I advertised it only around the college campus.

Thank you!
The most extraordinary cover of Jethro Tull I have ever seen on the Web or live anywhere.
You make a seasoned musician like me wish he had it to do over again.
Then I would attend the Berklee school of music and seek out musicians of your caliber and talent.
You make it look easy (and it's not)!
Fulfilling a dream of doing a live performance of Jethro Tull especially that album, has been my goal.
So inspired by Ian Anderson was I, that I remained a dedicated flutist to this day at age 61.
I still play his music for sidewalk cafes, coffee shops and ice cream shops for the nostalgic adults and parents who don't mind his provocative lyrics.
You really did justice to side one and side two. That refers to the days when music came on vinyl records. "Thick As a Brick"
was referred to as a concept album. That means rock artists of the day were competing to play non-stop on each side of the record to break away from the traditional way of recording music. No dead air between songs made the album go over big at
beer and pot parties.
Aside from all that, you picked a musical genius to perform and you can take that to the bank!
Well done Berklee!!
+Kevin Labbe Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it so much! And may Jethro Tull's legacy live on forever!! :)
+Carlo Ribaux he was a pretty good farmer too.. great job yo!
+Carlo Ribaux if you cats are touring consider playing vinyl music hall Pensacola floriduh. It'd be hella crowded at a show like this.
AGREED! How they knew to choose to take this on is beyond me! Their PARENTS were half their age when TAAB came out!!
Kevin...it's doable for all of us...it just takes patience.
As a rabid Tull fan since 1972, this is absolutely incredible! Many parts sounded so like the original, I'd have been hard-pressed to tell the difference. And even doing the fade-out / fade-in for the middle of the "record". I am stunned.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I was always sad that they didn't do the transition when playing it live. So we went for it!
Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already!
WOW!!! - And I've been playing for almost 50 years... So I know greatness when I hear it! - I've seen the band "Jethro Tull" perform this song live three times (but never" "complete" like the version on this video), and other than the original band members; this is by far the best "Thick as a Brick" cover ever!
For the musician's ages and experience levels at the time, they should all be way beyond proud of themselves, especially the floutist (or "flutist" in untrained music circles) , she was beyond fantastic, and super-close to Ian Anderson himself, and that's saying a lot! 😊
(I would love to hear you all do this song now that you've all "matured more on your instruments)!

I'm not usually a big fan of cover bands however..............you couldn't have possibly picked a more musically technical piece to master. Well done lads. Well done.
You have to be either crazy or really confident in your abilities to play this song. It is sort of just one long song. It is so hard to do properly, because of the length and how complex it is.

Just came across this and it is amazing. So well done! My compliments to these musicians. Of all the pieces in the world to pick, it's kind of astonishing that they chose the idiosyncratic, incomprehensible "Thick as a Brick".
Froggie Morton thank you! I really wanted to just play the hardest piece I know to see if we can do it :)
Carlo you did a superb job on a difficult piece with difficult drumming. Any chance that you may have a 5 year reunion of this concert? I would travel from Espana to see it. Please consider it!
Thank you so much!! Sadly, there are no plans for any additional concerts in the books as of now.

Being a (very) long-time Tull fan, I just stumbled upon this the other day and was totally blown away. What amazing combined talent to be able to pull off this challenging masterpiece. The drummer, organist and bass player are exceptional; the xylophone/bells player, acoustic and electric guitarists, flautist and additional keyboard player are all very good. The weak link is clearly the vocalist, who -- to his credit -- still does a good job with the lyrics despite the obvious foreign accent. I see Carlo has gone on to a successful career in the LA area and hope whichever of you have also graduated continue to make great music. You made for an exceptional group, and got your timings all very well coordinated. I've listened to this several times through and derive pleasure not just from the music itself, but from seeing these talented young adults doing such a wonderful job and clearly enjoying themselves tremendously while at it. Best wishes to all of you!

I've been a Jethro Tull fan since the early 1970's. I saw this album played live, in full, by Tull in 1973 - and many times since in shorter versions. Nothing can replace the original...but this comes pretty damn close! Well done!

The drummer is phenominal! I can close my eyes and think that’s Barriemore Barlow
And that's not easy to do. Barlow's playing was very dense.
Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for subscribing!!
True!
I've watched this video 10000 times and I'll keep doing it forever.
I'm so glad you like it so much!!
Makes you really appreciate the JT band that played this live. I was lucky enough to see them. These guys are great.

Interesting to find this. I was lucky enough to see Tull 3x in the 70s and once again on 7/5/19 in Indio CA. We even had a 7.1 Earthquake during the concert.
That's crazy about the earthquake. Did they keep playing?

UNFREEEEEAKIN' BELIEEEEEEVABLE!!!!!!! Countless highlights and moments! The best was the sense of accomplishment on their faces at the end...and the peace sign!!

I'm amazed. Never thought such a thing was possible that would be this good.
A+

Man, this is really outstanding. I consider Thick as a Brick to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. And doing the whole thing in one go was even challenging for Tull! So hearing a group of what I assume to be music students is really impressive.
Thank you for your kind words! And you are right, we were indeed all still studying music when we performed this. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!
Congrats on such a good version. I saw Tull do this full version 49 years ago in Cambridge UK and it blew my mind then. The thought that younger folk such as you guys, along with my daughters, dig it, it keeps the legend of Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson alive.
Thank you for your kind words! It's true, the legacy has to be kept alive!!

This really spun me out , I found Jethro out really quite early in my life, about 1988, I love to see its a thing, that other people get.
Going through these comments I get the same exact feeling. It's a true fan-community!!

Bloody hell stunning ,makes me feel so good in 2021 ........what a grouping of talent ,are you guys still playing together ,please say yes!!!!!
Thank you!! Sadly this is the only show we ever played together. But if we'd reunite we'd probably play Selling England by the Pound by Genesis :)
@@carloribaux Oh yes ,I know what I like !!!! well I hope your careers in music are all on track .Stay safe warmest regards for your entertaining performance

Wow, nobody does this! Ian is proud as hell at this version. I caught TAAB 1+2 so I got to hear it all live and it was worth the wait of decades.

I'll be honest. The performance itself is so-so. But the fact that you guys had the immense balls to tackle this song is itself praise-worthy.
This is by far the best & most honest comment on this thread.
And where the hell was Biggles when you guys had the audacity to step up to this song? Absolutely BRILLIANT! and with some nice personal touches, Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! Encore! Next up Passion Play.
Thank you for your very kind words! Where was he?! Hahahaha. Passion Play would be great. Maybe some day! If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!
Superb cover ever, brings me back to my youth in Jan 1973 when I first spun my JT LP on my girlfriend's Sanyo 3 in 1 turntable. I knew the lyrics instantly as if I was 19 & Ian Anderson was singing this.

Completely awesome, the singer was nervous at first, but nails at the end. Even as a musician, I can't even imagine the amount of work you guys have put into it. Really amazing job!

I seriously can’t believe I just saw this! And heard! Wow! I’m just blown away. You guys are great! You put it all together so nicely! And I mean ALL OF IT! I can’t help but think that the best part about all of this is the fact that this song is not only brilliant musically but its lyrics are all about critical thinking and if there’s anything we need from the “Oh Very Young” it’s critical thinking and great taste in music to carry us all through! We STILL need to sheath our swords and lift our pens…and our voices. This is a masterpiece indeed. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! Spread it far and wide …and thick. Thick as a brick.

A piece of music that is fifty years old, brought to life with skill and enthusiasm by young musicians of outstanding talent. Absolutely brilliant.

Just found this seven years after the fact. Hope all of you found the success and happiness you deserve. Such talent here!

Extremely daring to cover such a difficult and complicated album. I can't but admire this great performance.

I cannot express my feelings. What are the odds of having this many people gathered together have incredible talents and they all love JT and they all agree to cover this symphonic piece live and they nail the shit out of it
Yes bravo they rock the classic Tull
Thank you for your very kind words! It helped that we were all studying at Berklee College, where it's easy to find a lot of talented musicians. However, I'm still so happy how well all of this panned out. We only performed the piece one single time!

I'm a Japanese man. 65 years old. When I was a high school boy, I would often listened to this album. Now I am moved by the young men and woman . Here is deep love for Jethro Tull. I feel it directly. Especially fantastic is the flute lady.
Wow, I'm so happy that our project struck a chord with you! Thanks for your comment!
