- A new month means a new Tull album and here we are... at their most popular record in terms of sales. The first Tull video I did (8/5/23) was the studio cut of Aqualung and I haven't looked back since. But, since i've already heard a couple songs on this record i'll be doing live ones instead. This was from... 1977-1978 and not the original line up of the Album. We will be doing the studio cuts for the ones I haven;t heard though!

Aqualung is about our preconceived notions of the homeless ... sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls ... But then the song changes to a sympathetic view of the old guy down on his luck ... going up the road to the Salvation Army for a cup of tea.
No one has more fun at a Jethro Tull concert than frontman Ian Anderson. What a showman!
I saw them live at least 7-7 times. He is the ultimate showman in rock music.
I heard someone once say that Jethro Tull Band looked like a bunch of homeless people broke into the theater and started playing.
Haha. Yes!
Or a time-travelling band of minstrels from medieval times :-)
That sounds like something my mother would have said. 😂
No the band "Off Broadway" looks like a bunch of homeless people took the stage and started playing...seriously!
I got this on cassette back in about 1983 , I was 13 , this is still my favorite Jethro Tull , and I have hours of Tull !
Palmer and Evans both were on keyboards during this video. Easiest way to spot John Evans is, he is the ice cream man.
I saw Tull doing "A Passion Play" in Nassau collisieum back in 1973, what a show!
Lee, just imagine being 14 years old, having only been introduced to Tull over the previous two years, and seeing THIS at Madison Square Garden! Incredibly energetic performance and musicianship.
I can imagine being 14 and seeing Jethro Tull. My first concert was Jethro Tull in 1985 at Worcester Centrum in Worcester MA, USA and I was 14. My father and two of my uncles took me 😃
@@aaronfrazier7159that's awesome! I saw some great concerts with my dad, too. The "imagine" was meant more for Lee than us, so I'm going to edit that.
I listen to this album regularly. Its only 53 yrs old and still has what it takes. My God, Mother Goose and assorted tales of wonder.
Great great song
I was asked to sing this song by a high school band (I was 15) - it did not work out very well!
Great video! Love ‘Jethro Tull’.
Ian is so animated here.. I believe it’s the only song he doesn’t play his infamous flute!
Another little bit of info on Ian himself. I’ve heard he was very “anti” drugs. Truth.
Super talented!
There are others but that's the most famous of them (and in general) and has no flute which is ironic.
I'm almost ashamed to say I have seen Tull 17+ time's, and was never disappointed. Showman extrodinare! And to think Robert Plant had the audacity to call them Jethro Dull after they opened for Zeppelin. Gives you a sliver of insight to Roberts ego 🤠👍👍👍👍👍
I don't think it was Plant who said that, but a music reviewer.
@@corawheeler9355 I heard that just the other day from one of the hosts on Sirius classic vinyl, could be bad info 😜😵💫 on my part. Robert still has a big ego though.🤣🤣
@@billhawkins1236 I just had to look that up, and found this in an article from "Far Out" ... Drummer John Bonham cruelly called them Jethro Dull backstage and labelled their show “Bore ’em At The Forum”.
@@corawheeler9355 yeah, apparently all the Led Zeppelin guys had high opinions of themselves.😜
Yep...another great album from 1971. You know the drill. What a year!!!
And Cross Eyed Mary is definitely one of many you need to check out !
Notice that Ian Anderson is standing with his legs wide apart on the Album Cover. Look closely, his tights are starting to split along the seam of the crotch. (This was more noticeable on the Vinyl LP then on CD). Although a giant balloon is floating above Ian, it was generally assumed that the Album title "Bursting Out" was not referring to the balloon. Jethro Tull always enjoyed a bit of earthy humor. Happy to say that I was at one of the 1977 MSG Shows. Jethro Tull were amazing performers all, but visually, Ian Anderson and Barriemore Barlow on drums commanded the stage! Showmanship and talent!
That's the first thing I thought when I saw the album cover.
When Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond was with the band, both he and Martin Barre would run and leap about the stage complementing (and competing with) Anderson's moves. watch "Minstrel in the Gallery Live in Paris 1975" to see them in their full glory. Tull at their finest.
One of the best concerts I ever saw. Ian fooled everyone when he walked on stage with that red waist coat and bowler hat.
And how the hell did Martin Barre not get into Rick Beato’s top 20 guitar solos list?
Barry up there killin it in a kilt and a wife beater. Rock and Roll!
Burstin Out has been on high rotation for the last couple years in my car. One of my favorite albums, period.
And it's a live album with mostly music that Lee has heard. There will be a few new songs for him, but since they're live it won't matter on his album reviews. :)
Fun fact, Martin Barre has ad libbed this solo every time he's played it. Definitely do the full album!
Best Tull touring band ever
I've seen Tull a few times in concert back in the 70's but just recently l saw Martin Barr at a small theater in L.A and he did the Aqualung Album in its entirety and end with a encore of " Teacher", my favorite ✌️🥰🎶
I was lucky enough to see these guys live in the mid 70’s in far off New Zealand. I was already a fan and had several albums, so,excited when I tour was announced. I queued up and got my ticket, no internet then. I was not disappointed, so amazing live, great musicians.
I have saw 2 times live on stage the Jethro Tull.Fantastic show and fantastic Ian🤘
Superb. I saw Tull several times over the years, always brilliant. Ian Anderson was playing live still a couple years ago.
Ian Anderson is BRILLIANT! ❤ phenomenal Band ❤
Man, they were all riding the suspense on that final sting. LOL Unbelievable performance.
As he bends to pick a dog end , British slang for a cigarette butt
Another great tune from my teen years in the 70s in the Vancouver BC area
Saw them twice in the 80s. They were still great, but I wish I'd seen them during this period.
heck yusss
I thought that I read that Ian’s wife asked him to write a song about homeless people after having an encounter with one and this song came to be. I could be wrong. This was a great version. Thanks Cora and Lee. ❤
Think his wife actually wrote it herself, IIRC -- after seeing a man resembling the main character.
No coke...Ian was a drinker, but NEVER did any drugs. He had a bad cold during this concert.
Really good recording , great sound
First concert for me, 1974.
Martin's outfit from this tour was sold at auction a few years back.
The only band I saw 3 times in the 70's. I still have a flute I try to play occasionally, lol. He's still around, fortunately, voice not as strong, but still working. Thanks for this vid!
I saw them do Passion Play as a teen. Ian frolicking across the stage playing flute looked like a fairy tripping on shrooms. There was a phone on a table sidestage the whole show. It would ring periodically, then stop. End of show, they've left the stage and phone starts ringing again. Finally Ian comes out, picks it up, looks at audience and says it's for you. 17 year old me lost my mind
100% agree, what a performance!
Sorry I've never seen them live. Outstanding.
Martin Barre is perhaps the most underrated guitarist ever. In the list of great guitarists, you almost never hear his name mentioned. He was a master of tone and taste. Equally skilled in rhythm or lead. Yes, a great guitarist
Epic performance
10 February 1977 @ Golders Green Hippodrome. Six days later IA was ill with shingles!
Bursting out is the best
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎thank you!
When Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond was with the band, both he and Martin Barre would run and leap about the stage complementing (and competing with) Anderson's moves. watch "Minstrel in the Gallery Live in Paris 1975" to see them in their full glory. This is Tull at their finest.
Sad song Aqualung but still can dance to his vision
Was at that show
I saw them in SF around that same time - fantastic!
Ian Anderson channels old British folk, and medieval troubadours.
HEY LEE!👍WELL IT'S ( CLIVE BUNKER ) ON THE ALBUM AUALUNG AND THEN BARRIEMORE BARLOW CAME IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR FOR THE EPICCCC CONCEPT 72 ALBUM ( THICK AS A BRICK ) 😊MY FAVORITE CONCEPT/ STORY ALBUM OF ALL TIME💯AND IT'S AROUND 44:00 MINS. LEE , CLOSE TO IT WOULD BE THE : MOODY BLUES ( DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED )
I’ve done it my friend. In full! It’s in the Jethro Tull playlist.
According to Martin Barre, Jimmy Page walked by the window and waved as Martin was recording his solo. Martin feared making any acknowledgment, thinking if he screwed up it would become a flute solo.
Lee, you're doing "Sombre Reptiles" tomorrow! Great! But it's less than 3 mins; the following song, "Little Fishes", is a continuation of Sombre Reptiles--there's no break between the songs on the album. And it's less than 2 minutes, so both together is less than 5 mins. It's also more interesting than Sombre Reptiles.🤗
SO YEAH, IF YOU HAPPEN TO WATCH THE ( THICK AS A BRICK ) DO THE ONE FROM MSG ( MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ) AND IT'S ABOUT 18:00 MINS LONG LEE👍😊SOME OF THE VERYYYYY BEST IN PROG ROCK FOR SURE💯 AND STARTED BACK IN ( 67 ) ALL THE BEST MAN!
Ian Anderson has been described as a "shaman leading an ancient tribe through a religious experience". Yup
Didn't notice until the end that the drummer was wearing a kilt.
Yes you've done a multitude o' Jethro Tull reactions...but nothin' from what I consider their best album-Benefit. How 'bout doin' anything...or everything...from this masterpiece Jethro Tull album #3...
I would love it if you would react to some of the excellent Medieval-themed rock on the album "Songs from the Wood." So innovative, and the drumming/percussion was both spectacular and thematic.
I’ve done the whole album my friend! It’s in my Tull playlist. Thank you for watching! 🙏
What is a dog end? Asking for a..... never mind. Great performance!
Cigarette butt
British slang for a cigarette butt. My Manchester born granny used that expression a lot while sweeping her doorstep.
And the bog is a public restroom. Poor old sod = poor old bastard, or some such
Concerning Ian Anderson and drug use ~ ~ ~ there are plenty of articles and interviews ~~~ he DID NOT use drugs.
Lee knows that. Tony Iommi, who was with them for a few weeks, said he learned the successful work ethic from Tull ... No drugs, no booze before work, and rehearsals start at 9am. Also, Ian fired Glen Cornick for getting into the rock star lifestyle.
I know. I was just kidding. His eyes 👀 just make me think of how mine used to look lol
Just a little info Gael who is Ian’s daughter is married to Andrew Lincoln him of walking dead fame
When Ian sniffs his nose, it's not about Coke. Aqualung is described as homeless in cold weather, with "snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby cloths." So the sniff is referencing the Aqualung character. Furthermore, I believe that Ian was battling the flu during this show. There is a video during this tour where he mentions catching the flu to the audience, (I think it's this show?) So just like Aqualung, Ian literally had "snot running down his nose". Additionally, Ian was not a fan of heavy drugs. To see Ian "hyped-up", try his 1970 Isle of Wight show! Yep, same location The Who killed at!
Ian never did drugs in his entire life except smoke a lot of cigarettes.
That looks like “Live from the Hippodrome” in London.
IAN WAS NEVERRRR AGAINST RELIGION LEE😊, HE WAS ALWAYS AGAINST ( ORGANIZED ) RELIGION 😮BUT YEAH AQUALUNG WAS AN EPIC BANGER : MY GOD, HYMN 43, : MY GOD 70 LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT, IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND LEE WITH HIS FLUTE STUFF!
Lee's done the Isle of Wight video of My God .. and yes, it's a mind-blower. Ian describes his religious beliefs as "somewhere between deism and pantheism".
The worst thing humans did to God was building a house to put it in. When humans simplify pondered the whys and ifs under the broad open sky we were closer to God than we have been since. Lapsed catholic here.
As Ian Anderson said, "People, what have you done? Locked Him in His golden cage...."
I don't think Ian took drugs.
I lost the live chat 🤷♂️
Great performance, but I still enjoy like live Thick as a Brick more
Believe it or not he was not drugged up. Ian has never had a substance abuse problem.
I know. It was just a joke cuz of his eyes 👀 lol
Barrymore Barlow the best drummer in the world 👍
Side one of the album has to do with the down trodden in society while side two deals with the religious hypocrisy in the Church of England!
thank the trees for the Declaration of Independence. No Anglican Church here lol 😂
Well it’s here, just not the state mandated religion lol
Never liked the live version very much. The studio release is the standard.
