#JethrotTull #IanAnderson #RockConcerts #80srock - Hudba
I'm 68 years old and have been listening to Jethro Tull since I was 16. I'd love to shake Ian Anderson's hand for all that he's done for us. He's the reason I set out to learn the flute, which I still play.
I'm 66 years old and I'm still thick as a brick...
They just don’t make them like this anymore! So grateful to have grown up during an era of such brilliant music.

Saw them live what a show 🎉
AMEN ❤❤
My daughter is playing the flute much better than mr. Anderson...
Yeah? In what band is she????@@Drifter21031971
74 year old black man here. Saw JT Band several times in L.A. area in the 70’s. Absolutely terrific. Very talented, great showmen and tight.
66 Year old Inuit ( Eskimo ) here Really , Saw JT In Chicago in the 70s Thick as a brick tour And Passion play tour , Very Talented Musicians , Yes I'm Inuit ( Eskimo ) I now live in Canada . Ian Anderson , Martin Barre , John Evan, Glenn Cornick , Clive Bunker . Chicago amphitheater .
@@theonosehair6416 Old White guy here. I saw them in
'72 after the release of "Thick". It was mind bending.
@@rustar00 I stll listen to thick as a brick when I carve soap stone or being creative .
I saw him in LA too I think it was 78 or 79, also saw Van Halen, Pink Floyd the Wall original tour.. Peter Frampton with Jay Geils Band, Foghat, Rick Derringer, Howard Jones, Dead or Alive and many others in the 80's. Then I got married and had kids.
Latino americano de 39 anos, escutei esses caras há 30 anos atrás e continuo
I’ve enjoyed Tull since the early 70s. Today at 65. I still enjoy this band. Always will.
When our generation dies I hope Tull doesn't.
In late 1978 i met a girl which hold some LPs of Tull, and we spent the following 28 years together, until she passed away by an broken aneurysma... So this music was at last a sound tapestry of our lives, and therefor i selected "Life Is A Long Song" as the main title for her funeral.
That’s sad yet really cool. I had a brain aneurysm and man it was painful. Sorry for your loss but having someone you loved that long is incredible too!
70 years old and this music still takes me to another dimension the same way it did when I was 17.
I’m 17 and this is incredible! I am into the classic rock music from the 60s and 70s and this definitely hits my wheelhouse! Truly amazing! Rock on everyone! 🤘🏻🎸
I hope you have the vinyl album. It's an entire newspaper. The album is one song - a masterpiece.
@@breakingdad8 I sure do! 👍 It’s one of my favorite albums of all time!
✌️
Good for you! Not too many 17 yr olds appreciate this type of music...
Good kid. The best era. You should try a vouple modern bands too. Try widespread panic , and of course Phish
Saw them in Sydney 1970s, they shuffled on stage dressed as caretakers sweeping the stage, while the audience obliviously chatted. Throwing off the dustcoats they went straight into 'Aqualung', stunned audience, stunning gig, stunning band!
It’s kind of frightening how many things Ian Anderson is really really good at.
add banter and wit . Tricks on the audience
As a child I had been listening to everything. I saw this madman on midnight special. The next day I got on my bike and found the album.
Midnight Special was such a treat. It was fun back in the day with so few choices because you then could talk to your friends that had expereinced the same things.
Best frontman ever. Best band ever. This lineup, phenomenal. A tight and talented band at its absolute peak.
We'll never see the like again but so grateful we have the legacy.
😊
From the sounds to his expressions....amazing.
Ian is a wizard and the band's great, but we have to include Nils Frykdahl & IF/SGM in the discussion, surely?
What is the lineup?
@@Dukiedukester Anderson, Barre, Glascock, Evans, Barlow, Palmer.
Saw them in the UK, many times. To say they are brilliant is an understatement. Ian Anderson has a skill that is unmatched. I'm having too old to rock and roll, too young to die as my funeral music...family not too happy with that.
And now I need to check my funeral list to make sure it’s there!
Excellent choice
Very good choice my friend, very good choice.
Saw them once in 1978 Germany
The "Bursting Out" live album tour.
We think we were at one of the shows on the record because of some crowd noise and shouting. Not 100% sure.
Anyway, it is still a highlight top ten concert after 45 years
Saw the TAAB tour in 72. Performed it beginning to end and most of Aqualong. Awesome evening.
I played flute in high school and everyone would ask me if I could play Jethro Tull. Ian made flute so cool!
Sure makes me miss the '70s, when music like this was just everywhere. Wow, what a performance!❤
I could just cry....
I was lucky enough to see them 5 times. All their shows were amazing.
@@ozzy1887 I would guess the same. Yes all amazing. Great times!!!
I am jealous! p.s. I born in the 90s
See this is what kind of bands I want to see, no fireworks, no lights, just classic rock and roll. Wish I could’ve been there✊
I was there .Don't wish to live in the past .move forward remember what the past taught you
@@craigschepers714Excellent advice my friend!!!👍🔥🔥
Me too
If anyone tried leading a rock band with a flute today they couldn't do it without dripping with irony
And here these guys are, absolutely killing it, completely sincere with no irony, and one of the best bands in the history of rock.
One of the best albums ever made.
I agree
One of my favorites too!
it was ground breaking as a mini-rock symphony
It’s just brilliant from start to finish , love it
I listened on 8 track with headphones while sleeping. HOURS over and OVER....
Every generation should be amazed at this.
Absolutely! They should be, however, ask them if they know who the Beatles are or the rolling Stones or the who or Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin David Bowie anybody anybody from our era no they don't in the worst part is they're not even interested in they think it's music some of it should be banned and I'm no prude but seriously it's really raunchy, deplorable towards women.
I want to add to all this rap crap from this generation in a few before all this rap crap, sex and money is basically all it is. That's all they talk about, sing about Carrie there's no depth
This is probably one of the best live footage from Tull!
Yeah, the full concert film just shows how charismatic a performer Ian Anderson was back then and the tone of that Martin guitar he’s playing is beautiful.
I agree. Plus, something about Ian’s vocals here sounds even better to me than on the original record. Great performances all the way around.
The best Tull live footage ? Perhaps Tullavision Tampa Stadium 1976
@@UdiKoomran I wouldn’t say that because that was taken from a giant video screen in the concert, it’s not of very good quality.
I was referring to the actual performance rather then the sound or picture quality
Jethro Tull itself is a genre.. This is level Genius with a capital G..
I saw them in a large theatre and a small one - they were best in a small one - they got people from the audience up on stage to mime the beginning of songs from the wood which they said couldn't be done live - then broke into the best live performance I've ever seen with Ian Anderson standing on one leg not less than three feet in front of me - "much better than you could know - dust you down from tip to toe - hold steady if you can".
This song has been on a loop in my ears since the mid-1970s. My life has been enriched by Jethro Tull. Thank gawd I was born during a time this music was popular.
You and me both. Bursting Out was my first listen to JT. It has been part of the soundtrack of my life to this very day.
I'm playing this for anyone that asks me why I'm disillusioned with today's music.
Please include Monty Python or Spinal tap Quotes too.
I don’t pay attention to new music anymore. It’s ridiculous most of it. So happy I grew up in the 70’s and born in mid 60’s. Best of 60-2000 the forty years of just incredible music!
There is some good stuff since 2000. Avenged Sevenfold to Vampire Weekend! Brilliance endures
At 67 years and I still love Tull and the band.
yer 70 now👍🌹
75 and still my favourite band. X

78 and stii locomotive breath
Hey, me too!
This is what the world is dieing for. Poetry and beauty. All we have now are lies.
Amen. Digressed into deceit and "fake news." Why did we ever have to go there? [Last days. . . I hear the Wolves of doom howling more.]
Truth❤❤❤
One of the most distinctive voices of all popular music
÷n. Elmeme n jo0]elmejr
One of the greatest groups of all time!
Every time I hear this, sun shines, butterflies dance and nightingales sing. ❤
Precisely!
👏👏❤
This is great, but I'm partial to My God, when Ian is in his bathrobe. 😊
I like your way with words mountain girl
My old man loved Jethro Tull. He'd listened to them in the 80s, when I was just a kid. I would then sneak secretly to steal his cassettes and listen to the "crazy guy with the flute" on my own. The old man died too soon. But I still see his face whenever I hear Anderson's flute.
I'm today two years older than my old man when he died and I've been wildly missing him ever since.
What superb memories. 🌹Lucky to have them!
Sorry for your loss, mate. Keep those memories, hold on to them as they're what keeps us going, aren't they?
@@darrenjourneytorunfaster Thanks mate! it's the kind of thing you can explain but you can't never really share. It's what make us what we are I suposse
Seriously, lets give it up for Barriemore Barlow. One of my all time favorite drummers. That guy is such a beast.
MR. BARRIEMORE BARLOW!!
John Bonham said that Barriemore was the greatest rock drummer England has ever produced.
Martin Barre is no slouch either!
I just love the bands presence, and especially how Ian Anderson uses his eyes and facial expressions and body. A pure showman who clearly loved what he was doing and I appreciate it so much. They were one of the best concerts I've ever seen my entire life.
He's on the short list of all time great front men!
I wonder whether Freddie Mercury learned a lesson or two from IA ..
Am 61 de ani si sunt fericita ca încă sumtem mulți cei care ascultăm rock the best ❤❤❤❤
A total, classical, modern MASTERPIECE! Thank you Mr. Anderson!👍👏👏👏
10 out of 10 for this live performance.
I rediscovered Jethro few years back after just knowing and loving as a teenager, spoilt for so much music at the time, 'Living in the past'.
I bought this album on remastered Vinyl. Classic. God knows how many times I've played it. Got me through a dark phase in my life.
Also have on vinyl (new) Aqualung.
Rock band with flute unique. The sound of that instrument is haunting.
This is a top notch progressive-rock performance. Ian Anderson is an amazing and charismatic front-man. The teamwork with the band is tight and they are all having fun blowing their audience away. A good watch & listen!
TULL at full chat for two and a half minutes; 6:30 - 9.00... In the pantheon of Prog Rock - it doesn't get any better!
I was fortunate to see them back in the 70s, and they put on amazing,entertaining shows each time. Anderson was a manic frontman that was extremely theatrical and knew how to give an exciting performance. Certainly deserving any and all the accolades that they received.
I saw them too in Seattle when I was in college; must’ve been 1973-74. It was awesome.
Agreed. With the exception of Heavy Metal album of the year 😂
Why? Crest of a Knave I think is one of Tull's top albums, easily in top 10, if not close to top 5. Reinvigorated the whole band after Under Wraps.
Sweet !
Because he had taken his medicine!!!!!
Growing up in Cleveland, OH, I relished that I could visit the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame as often as I wanted. But it blows my mind that Jethro Tull with their unique and awesome album concepts has yet to be voted into the Hall of Fame, so the talents of Ian Anderson can be on display to everyone who visits it.
That is a crime... politics is virtually everywhere😢
Ian Anderson....a masterful showman who conjures the deepest of one's soul. Thanks for sharing
Total genius. He's absolutely one of the more creative musicians we've been so lucky to enjoy.
I miss my mom. She loved this band. She OD on opiates 2003. She liked to party but she was a very loving mother and very fun.
2003? Wow she was a trailblazer in opiate OD
Sorry you lost her. I hope her fun spirit carries on in you my friend. ☮️
@@jbetnarTHAT is your comment? Pathetic.
She sounds awesome!
Love like that never dies...there are a lot of wonderful mysteries in the heart, best to be open to the mystery :)
I am so sorry for your loss.
Brilliant odd ball brilliance, I bet there are plenty of serious musicians who secretly listen to Jethro Tull
there has never been a talent and character in rock music,
quite like, the inimitable, I.A.🌟
The more I see the clips of their songs, the more I realize myself how lucky I was to be in the possibility attending five or even more of their concerts in those amazing years. One of the best rock bands ever.
Best Rock band of All Times.
And too good for the fake R&R Hall of Fame!!
I am 68 I lived in the time of a
Aqualung and TAAB live at Cobo Hall
Thank you Ian
This was on my 16th birthday 😁 so glad I grew up with music like this ❤
Agree, music today doesn’t have the same oomph as it did in my early life 71 now and the music from my teens is still loved by all
Sadly...Those days are gone...
Greatest Stage Performer of all Time...
He IS the #1 Frontman of all time!!!
He’s up there, but Eric Nally from Foxy Shazam wins that award
@@dave8386Absolutely not even in the same ballpark. I just looked at Foxy Shazam live and can't find evidence to support you.
@@Ssssssnakeisone Eric Nally literally lights and eats 5 cigarettes at once at Foxy shows. No one is more committed to being an insane energetic frontman than him
Deeply regret not seeing them live. One of the most unique bands ever. Ian Anderson is one-of-a-kind. Remember playing this album with eyes closed to soak it all in.
One of the more consistently brilliant songwriters over the years. Never stopped making solid albums.
This line up was favorite and this makes my heart Happy
This was an amazing performance. I'm assuming this line up was Ian, Martin Barre on lead guitar, John Glascock on bass, Barriemore Barlow on drums and then the two keyboard/organ players on the right side of the stage were Dee Palmer and John Evan.
Your assumption is correct. That infact is the correct names of the members of the band in this video. My favorite lineup of the Mighty Jethro Tull.
I still have an Ian Anderson poster from the early 70's.
Love his music and his voice.
Good for you. But me I prefer All Around My Hat by a other English Folk Band of the 70,s. Forget the name were not a great hit as my late husband would say. Good enough. Loved loved the lady. Violinist. In the band pure operatic classic for me. Forget the name of band drats. Maybe you tube. Twigs on. Still can see them perform. On TV to
@@yvonnelessick9880Steeleye Span?
Jaw dropping and eye popping performances are just another day for the Great Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull band. Thank you for posting this world class vid.
Ian Anderson has such a great stage presence!!!
I actually partied with Ian 3 times😊❤, back in Kansas City MO. Back in the mid 70's!! The GREATEST Flute player in the history of Classic Rock (back when he had his AFRO Hair).
GOD BLESS "IAN ANDERSON"❤❤❤
Sounds like a hoot and a party🎉
I was watching this and thinking he looks like he had a few bumps lol.
I've been listening to Ian and Jethro Tull for decades now And they will always be in my mind be the sole source of true Minstrel-Rock! Their sound is unique and Ian is a master musician & entertainer!
Minstrel rock is a good name for it; and references one of my favorite albums, and tunes; the title tune was amazing! Even the reverb on the vocals was unusual and cool; the whole thing sounded like a concert in a classical music hall; perfect production!
It just doesn't get old, does it?
Pure brilliance. Never short-changed by Tull at ANY 20th Century concert ever.
And I maybe saw 12 of them!!
What did I just experience! A loyal fan starting in 1972.
Classic line-up. The band at their best.
Unreal and amazing live band!
Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow. But I digress. They are bloody brilliant. Ecstatic yet controlled.
Straight from the time when rock made sense, or as these musicians would say, the time when our parents were too old to rock n' roll and too young to die.
Talk about absolutely nailing this one......so damn good!!!!
What a talent !!!!
What a musician !!!
What a bloody f... group !!!
Their music is still magnificent!!
Saw them in Mumbai in 2007 or so and they still had it !! One of my favorite bands ..
I never saw JT but their music impact is immeasurable. I was so fortunate to have lived in their music and time. We wore their albums out in my college days. Music history.
I LOVE 💘 WHEN HE PLAYS GUITAR 🎸 😍. BUT OF COURSE HIS FLUTE IS BEYOND AWESOME. LOVE YOU IAN FOREVER ❤❤
Theatrical performance backed up with sheer musical talent. We will probably never see the likes again.
the best band ever till now
4:47 I always love hearing the crash of that tambourine as Ian lashes it across the stage lol. What a concert this is, great footage from 1977.
Isle of Wright recordings video are raw ....Glenn Cornicks bass is great
Can yall believe what passes for music now??????? Oh, children 😢
I think this will be like Mozart or Beethoven music that will never die; truly amazing, also a template for how to perform extraordinary live. I play no other music on repeat like Jethro. Greetings from Sweden!
Yes. Also Aesop Rock.
That's incredible...shivers every time! What a wonderful masterpiece!
Saw them in Bellingham, Washington at a small venue...maybe 1500 people....in 1998. No intro band, just 2 1/2 hrs of musical talent. EVERYONE was blown away. Ian Anderson ....one of the best front men EVER
The very best years to be alive and the giants of music seemed to get better and better.
A brilliant musical court jester.
Этот шут поумнее короля...
To dance around like a madman than casually hop back on the mic in time for a intricate flute lick like that.... !!! 🤯
Intricate? Superficial at best.
Великий композитор, поэт, флейтист, исполнитель, артист...
Одна из лучших групп в арт роке (прогрессиве).
Потрясающий альбом.
👍 Best wishes from Istanbul. TULLTURK
Havent thought of ian or this song in years. Im pushing 70. Thanks for the memories
The best of the best!
We stumbled upon them in the 90's at a small venue at a casino in Reno, Nevada. They put on a concert there as though they were playing to a crowd of 30,000. So glad I was able to see them in person!
In the 70s they were DAMN good, I saw them about 15 times until the early nineties, I had almost forgotten how brilliant they were, this clip brings back all the memories from the old days. The best Tull concert ever for me was on 18.04.75, War Child Tour in Munich, that blew me away!
I saw them in this era as a 16 year old with my older brother. Three different years. I knew I wanted to be a musician after seeing them. So glad my older brother was in to so much good music.
The world famous Whole Lotta Brick.
Aqualang dog
intelligence shows through..ain't it wunderfull hehehe
This brings me back to my happy times, love Jethro Tull!!!!
Saw Ian last year (2023) in Belgium. So much older than in this video, but still 100% motivated! Love that guy!
And also: Great concert AGAIN!
Why is Jethro so good?
It is alway mesmerising, always touching.
Thanks Ian!
very cool
When I was 13 or 14, a house had burned down (everyone was safe) and my Dad was called to handle clean-up. We got some smokey bed linens and stuff but my father also brought home a cassette tape that someone had made of Thick as a Brick. I was already a fan of Benefit and Aqualung and I'd go crazy when Ian Anderson played that flute! So this was added to my list of favorite albums. Thank you for reminding me!❤❤❤
Also I still go crazy when I hear him play!😂❤
Ian is an underrated and overlooked musical genius. This guy could play any instrument he picked up and play it better than most
He's not underrated.
Thick as a Brick was my first Tull concert, it was in Edmonton Alberta Canada the old Edmonton Gardens arena 1971/72 maybe😅. Absolutely blew me away , the stage show , the atmosphere, the musicianship a lifelong memory, what else can I say! Life is good.
Had the pleasure of interviewing Ian Anderson in Delhi three decades back. An extraordinary musician, multi-instrumentalist, witty, well-read and as can be seen one helluva performer on stage.
I saw Jethro Tull at the candle light in Scarborough late 60s small gig never forget that night
what part of England is Scarborough. Popular name iin Aussie and South Africa. For beaches
Hi Scarborough is on our East Coast
The whole album is a great concept album.
I bought the Thick As A Brick album with my weekly allowance. I was in early middle school. I loved that it was a newspaper inside the album with articles and even a freakin' crossword puzzle! A ridiculous one at that. Little did I know that I would come to know every word, breath, lilt, guitar lick, drum roll, bass line and nuance of this record.
Dear Mr. Anderson, et. al, you inspired me so much that the very next year I saw your Passion Play at the Fabulous Forum in L.A. You do put on a helluva show!
I do hope you are well and living comfortably; drinking tea in the English countryside.
Musik, die in ihrer Art und Weise einmalig ist. Jethro Tull, insbesondere Ian Anderson, kann niemand covern 👏👍
RIP Anna, who gave me the album for my 21st birthday. RIP Ronald, with whom I saw Tull at Colston Hall in ‘77. Watching this is a bittersweet experience crowded with great memories - and heartache.
I was born in 1957, so Tull was in their prime when I was growing up, yet for some reason I was never a fan. Saw all the big ones from the day, Zep, Floyd, the Who and on and on.
Boy did I miss the boat. These guys were great! Such complex arrangements and beautiful music. Not to mention what a great character Ian is.
I grew up on Jethro Tull. Best ever.
For me Jethro Tull is the best rock sound of ever.
Was amazed when I first saw Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull where I filmed them at a rock festival with my super 8 camera in 1969. I have filmed Tull 4 diffetent times after that 3-day outside festival. which included Thick as a Brick is one of my all time favorite albums.
