- Thank you to our patron and supporter Cora for once again, another banger of a JT request. This was a live triple whammy and like I always say, Ian is a natural up there. A modern troubadour. A very true to the bone bard. I love his antics and it adds so much flair to the music. The whole band was top notch here.

We're here for the Tull!
I'm seeing Martin's band on May 6th, can't wait!
What a great username. I might have to pin this comment just for your name lol
@@L33Reacts Thank you good sir Lol
I saw Martin Barre and his band just a few weeks. You will really enjoy the show!! I am jealous. I want to see him again.
They DELIVERED Live. They are able to pull off all of their complicated and difficult passages with ease. Tull and Zappa had the same standards of musicianship- they had to!
ORANGE Tull played arguably the most difficult music live, with expert precision. The next tightest band was Joe Jackson's. Though the arrangements they played were considerably simpler than Tull's they were also very precise. There is a live Joe Jackson album that was taped in one night with no dubbing, no mistakes.
Barriemore Barlow is a monster on drums!
Anybody else want to see Lee see/listen to Conundrum off Bursting Out?
@@mlinderict The whole album… 1978 I was 16 and went to that tour. 85 years later 🤔 and I still haven’t heard anything that could match yet!
True story 😎
This entire album always makes me feel much better.
Me too !
Thanx for bringing Tull to the forefront, Lee. There was nobody like them then and there will never be anyone like them. Orange!
Totally agree.
The guy on the Yamaha keys is John Evan, The guy on the pipe organ thing on the other side of the stage is (Dee)avid Palmer.
During this period Tull played with Baroque themes where the harpsichord is a dominant instrument. Combined with English, Irish, and Scottish folk music, it makes for some fantastic and unique "rock" music.
Love this album and it's great to see young people appreciate the musicians in this band! orange
So creative.
"I am the wind to fill your sail. I am the cross to take your nail."
'A singer of these ageless times - with kitchen prose and gutter rhymes.'
That's John Evan wearing white playing piano. Palmer is the tall dude playing organ and harpsichord who was shown numerous times.
JT was the first live show I took my oldest son together, he was 7 years old, and even not understanding any english, he was astonished with the sound and energy of this gang! He's become a professional musician himself. I never get tired of listening to them. Greetings from Rio!
"Walking on Velvet Orange ... " just wouldn't have the same ring to it.
To answer your questions: - 7:01 David Palmer right there in 1977. Currently known as Dee Palmer.
- Same show, clothes change for a little skit put on between songs. Barriemore Barlow wearing the "fool's hat" dragged out a "baby drum kit" on wheels by a rope acting as if it were a heavy pull for the Velvet Green song.
This is my favorite lineup and my favorite era of the band. They all play so well and perform so joyfully.
Crazy and wonderful! Great to see these three songs together, as you say, at the top of their game. Amazing musicianship with panache and huge humour. Wizards… or angels…? 🍊
Their ability to play complex time and changes is amazing. Hats off (orange) to the whole band!
Ian and Martin always surrounded themselves with other TOP musician’s throughout the 50yrs. That is why they are 1 of thee greatest
Songs from Wood! Masterpiece in every sense of the word!!(orange)
I can feel my heart swell with these guys. 🌿
I'd place "Velvet Green" as a mid-Victorian piece - "I'm tight against the seam" is a perfect - and I think original - example of the type of euphemism of that period.
Scotch pine growing...
One of my fave Tull albums, even a smidge more than Heavy Horses for me. Definitely go back and listen to the studio versions. They'll make your face orange.
"Orange" we glad it's Tull Tuesday! Always amazing to experience live Jethro Tull. I actually saw this 1977 Tour at MSG, amazingly skilled live musicianship with a highly entertaining performance. Tull was among my most played music in the 1970s-80's, as they ALWAYS boosted my mood! I guess its easy for people to dismiss Tull as a "novelty band", with their odd combo of Theatrical/Progressive-Rock/Jazz/Medieval Roots/Classical. Sorry for those listeners who don't appreciate Ian Anderson's great writing, and Tull's amazing skills. This Band is one of Life's great pleasures!
He really is a wonderful writer. So many layers to his lyrics. And that doesn't even include his voice or musicianship. Insane lol
@@L33Reacts Hi Lee, Yes, an amazingly original singer and musician too. It took me years to realize how beautiful Ian's acoustic guitar was, as I had mostly focused on his singing and flute playing. And Ian was also one of the greatest theatrical frontmen, awesome to see on stage. As performers, I would only put Ian behind Townshend and Moon, (I guess Hendrix), and maybe Bowie during his "Ziggy Stardust" years.
Got Aqualung when I was 18, am now 72 and I still adore Tull; even managed to see them live in Australia. Orange
🍊 Tull live album "Bursting Out" is the perfect soundtrack to read "Lord of the Rings" to. And now this music is etched into my soul.
I was still in high school,so early teenage years, 15 or so. Ran like hell when they opened the doors, to right under the center front of the stage (no seats in those days, you brought a blanket) with Ian Anderson 4' ft or so above me dressed in tartan, like an exotic stork, standing on one leg. I can still see him in my mind, a lifetime later; an unforgettable performer. I would see them years later in Miami, in a chair back in the auditorium a ways. Good show, but...
The crazy character is John Evans. He was really funny live. Orange. Sadly this tour was John Glascock’s last before he passed away. He was 27 years old if I remember well. Barlow was a fabulous drummer. I saw Tull in 1979 with UK (Bozzio on drums) as an opening act. An incredible evening for the drums lover that I am.
Great to see these performances together. Ian Anderson released six "solo" albums between 1983 and 2014. Two of them definitely could have been called "Jethro Tull" albums but for some reason he didn't want to at that time, finally (using almost the same band as then) released two "Jethro Tull" in 2022 and 2023. The two Ian Anderson albums that sound like Tull are Thick As A Brick 2 (2012) and Homo Erraticus (2014). The songs and band are particularly good on Homo Erraticus, and Ian's voice sounds great, after it had deteriorated in the 1980's (and since 2014!). For a sample of Homo Erraticus, a history of the British Isles from 7000 BCE to 2044, listen to the first cut "Doggerland." I saw the TAAB2 tour where the first half was Thick As A Brick in its entirety, and after intermission, all of TAAB2, which includes TAAB referential lyrics and musical parts. It speculates on what “Gerald Bostock” did after he grew up. Try “Old School Song” that might remind you of something from TAAB.
Davd/Dee Palmer is who started Velvet Green on the keyboards wearing the vest. The amazing John Evan is on the other keyboards wearing the white suit he often did.
Orange. This lineup was my favorite Tull. Keep watching the live shows that are available. They are so unique and I am so glad to see you listening to them cuz they are in a class by themselves. Keep on checking them out. There’s so much more for you discover, Peace brother!
Saw them in 1978 with UK. What a show!
Roots to Branches from 1993 is the best Tull album after Heavy Horses. It has a beautiful cover with shades of orange.
Three of my favorite Tull songs! This was Tull in their Prime!
Lee, I’ve seen Tull many times since 1974 and you don’t realize what you missed back in those days!!!!
Incredible!!!!
'Tis true, 'tis true...
No one has more fun at a Tull concert than Ian Anderson.
On "Velvet Green" David "Dee" Palmer was playing portative organ (to the left of the stage), John Evan was playing piano
Lee--- John Glascock became ill (heart issues) and died not long after being diagnosed,sadly. He was a great addition taking over for Jeffrey Hammond. This and he added harmony vocals behind Ian. Not sure they all really sang those choruses for Songs From The Wood--that may heve been a lark and partially pre-recorded. The band never sang backups before that,so if they actually DID have singing ability,this was the first and last time they ever showed that. Great reaction..thanks! T Oh...Orange! LOL
I think you’re right about those vocals being tracked. Pretty sure Barrie(more) didn’t really play a flute from behind his drum kit, either 😂
You can’t help but see how their live performances sound like the studio recording. I always have said that it you were blind and at a live concert you would say that they sound just like the studio version
Fantastic band! Barriemore Barlow was such an incredibly underrated drummer. Although it's not the same band now, I am looking forward to going to see them next Tuesday. Their last album was really good. I think you would enjoy that one!
Love this album
Pibroch ( Cap in hand ) is allso great Tull. First seen them on July 4th 1971 with Yes opening. Fantastic band live.
Saw them perform as a young man some 40 plus years ago. One of the best.
I saw these motheroranges over 20 times back in the day, never a bad show and all for fun.
I've had this album from the 1st week it came out. A classic. Thanks for the reaction.
I picked it up from the just released. It was spinning, and I was impressed. Miss record shopping
That was fab and 🍊. Love their sound around this period and could listen to Barriemore any time!
I love their "Orange" glow . I'm no expert but some of their music is reminiscent of the old folk music of the Northwestern island of England
Complex fairy music. 🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚❤
Besides the music and the musician ship of the band are incredible. But, one of my favorite parts of Ian’s writing are the lyrics. He’s an amazing wordsmith. A lot of lyrics can be read as poetry. I first saw them when they opened for Led Zeppelin on their first North American tour, and many times after that. My all time favorite rock band.
What a great trio of tunes. Thanks so much Lee!
Little side note: this version of SFTW has a quick, but not easily seen, moment where Barlow "plays" the flute, floating over his drums, just as the full band kicks in! (Another vid from this tour has a direct shot and they did sometime switch instruments during this show.) Orange and thanks again!
Love your Tull reactions. They’re great live, one of the best.
Orange 😁
Hey, thanks for this reaction! I really enjoy watching you react to my favorite band in the world. (By the way, I play the flute too 😅).
I can't wait to see you react to some interesting Jethro Tull albums that no one else has reacted to yet, like "Roots to Branches" and some of their newer albums or solo albums like "Homo Erraticus".
By the way, it would be really interesting to know if you are familiar with a band called "The Windmill".
I recently discovered this Norwegian band a few weeks ago, and I must say, they are exceptionally talented.
It appears that they have been around since 2001, and it is quite astonishing how they have managed to remain relatively unknown.
I had the pleasure of listening to their recent album titled "Tribus", and it is simply magnificent. The album begins with an epic 23-minute track called "The Tree", which is an absolute masterpiece.
Their music gives me vibes of so many great bands like Jethro Tull (There is a lot of flute in this album too), Camel, Genesis, and Uriah Heep, all blended together with a touch of neo-prog sound.
It is complex, intricate, conceptual, and beautiful music, and the fact that it is played by non-professional musicians in a Norwegian garage makes it all the more impressive.
If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to them yet, I highly recommend that you do. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you again for all of your great reactions!💪🙏
I'm SO glad I found your channel. You react to a really good amount of my favorite bands' music! And you have great reactions,I love seeing young folks appreciating this band! This is my favorite album of theirs❤ Orange lol
English folk with a rock vibe.
Best orange 🍊 video ever
You need to see this live version of Velvet Green from the London show as it shows Barrie dragging the medieval drum set to accompany the song and there are more shots of him drumming in this song. Btw both Velvet Green and Hunting Girl are Ian’s tales of seduction- VG man
,HG female. The lyrics are clear when examined
Great set - D Palmer was on left of stage (from audience perspective), playing the 'portative pipe organ' to great effect. (Not sure if you were confusing him with other keyboard player.).
It's great to see how versatile they all are - playing different instruments - lover it when Barriemore pops up to play flute.
Ian Anderson doesn’t take a back seat to any front man from the era.that includes Jagger, Plant, Daltry, yes, and even Freddy Mercury. Ian was one of the greats
Great album
Anything Jethro Tull is great. When this group came out. I was a teen.the idea of a flute player/ singer was unheard of in rock. I ,loved it from day one. Hope you new commers will also....
Lee, you were born in the wrong era it seems😂😂😂❤. I was so blessed. True music.....
Oh man thank you so much for this fab reintroduction to Jethro Tull. Its been a while.
Minstrel in the Gallery (orange studio version) is worth a visit. Cheers!
I've often wondered if I would wear an orange derby. I have a derby that I don't wear but... As you know by now Jethro Tull has a ton of good music. Songs from the Woods is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Roots to Branches is another great album. Stand Up is another with some great tracks "Look Into the Sun", "Back to the Family", "We Used to Know". Down with Tull haters!! :D Cheers.
Velvet Green is an all time favorite. I bought my sofa in its honor because the orange one was too garish.
Well I live in Orange, but it's the one in Australia. Yeah I'm paying attention.
So good! I bet Ian could find a rhyme for Orange if he wanted.
I saw this tour back in 77, and as good as Velvet Orange was, it could not touch the beauty of the studio version.
Really dig this album. One of Tull's best.
Can't wait to hear the rest! This was a great threesome of tracks. Oh shit I did it again 😅🤣
Orange you glad you saw this video!
Give me an 'O' ... give me an 'R' ....give me an 'A' ... give me an 'N' ... give me a 'G' ... give me an 'E' ... What's that spell? Tangerine!!! Dumb audience..... :D That was much fun! Great pick, Cora!
That was John Evan in white on keyboards, Dee (then David) Palmer was behind the portative organ on the left background.(orange? 😆)
"My lady be discreet, I must get to my feet and go back to the farm,
Whilst I appreciate, you are no deviate
i might come to some harm.
I'm not inclined to acts refined
to acts refind, and that's how it goes
To me this was the high point for Jethro Tull-these songs are absolutely delightful-rich textures, mythic touches, and incredible lush Melodie’s. This their best album and by far the best lineup.
:) Pure Quality! I gotta go get an orange now....
And oh yeah, orange!
The woods always had a certain vibe to the English and Celts as it denoted the "sap rising", a euphemism for what Americans called "Rock and Roll".
i take Velvet Green to refer to what we British used to call the maidenhead in old folk tales and song. Just my take on it These songs are very English.
Orange. looks like Ian Anderson is wearing a Bowler and waistcoat on Hunting Girl maybe used when people hunted?
The energy Ian brings makes him my #1 frontman!! It's fun watching keyboardist John Evan .He's just a goofball and just adds to the total Tull personna of course not to mention his excellent playing. To note they have the 2 keyboardists, with David Palmer who has had a history with the band, with arranging orchestration in their recordings.
Ive seen several reactions to this video and NO one noticed that Barrimore played the flute.
Cool to see footage such as this.
The whole of Songs From the Wood album is pure gold! The studio version of Velvet Green is sublime, it is a must listen
I've had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull live 8 times over the last 48 years. Saw this lineup, orange hat and all, a couple of time. Their 50th anniversary tour in California was the last show I saw before Covid. Hoping to see them again. Had backstage passes for the tour for the 'A' album and got to hang out with them for a bit after the show! One of my favorites. Happy you enjoy them Lee, I really like your channel!
My absolute favorite album! How they haven't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame yet is beyond me. Btw, love the orange hat. ;))
So glad I saw him back when I was your age, Lee. 😊
I became a fan the week that Aqualong was released. And for me at least, during the heyday of rock bands, to have a lead with the flute was so new but so cool. And Ian's great voice, so different than what was out there at the time.
But then I had an unusual experience, especially with a group that I had gotten into recently because I got to go see them live for the first time. And quite honestly walked away a bit disappointed. And it's not that I completely expected them to be the same in terms of the quality of the sound as their studio album. That's common with live performances. But on this occasion, I just couldn't get with it. I kept expecting and wanting more but the show wasn't what I had hoped, and that would have been great.
Anyway, one of my few
disappointed live performances of bands, that of course, I loved, which is why I was seeing them live. I didn't start not liking. Them. They guess that's absurd. I just was very disappointed and I was ready for a great night and it was just an OK night.
We miss you on Rumble
This album is 'forest and fairies' ... it's all fun
One of their 3 best!
It is John Evan in the white suit jumping around and on the keyboards to the right of the stage.... Dee (David) Palmer is on the Left of the stage on the other set of keys.
I thought that I saw them both. I was wondering how they switched? But they didn't really.
Orange 🥸
Keep on, keeping on 😎
Orange you sure this is the greatest band ever!
May have been at the Cap Center in Largo MD.
Great choice of Tull tunes. The man in the white suit twirling around is keyboardist “the milk man” John Evans. Dee (David)Palmer band's orchestral arranger is off the side in dark suit.
Great songs from my favorite Tull album!They were so good live before Ian’s voice gave way!The album will blow you away how well the songs flow together!
This performance very much reminds me of Frank Zappa, especially with the visuals.❤
Three songs from my favorite Tull album - beautiful stuff.
Lee: THIS was a great 3 song delight. As usual, you're hit by the same sparks that hit us all back in the day. And we get Martin Barre playing tuned percussion, and the great one, Barriemore Barlowe, playing the FLUTE!?!?! Is there nothing these cats can't do impeccably and wreckably? Oh yeah - if I was in a row boat with a girl named Angeline and wanted to, ahem, dispatch her, I'd introduce her head to the oar by saying, "Ange, meet Oar; Oar, Ange." Great reaction.
Take a look at the lyrics from Velvet Green and Hunting Girl.
Assuming you are reacting to the whole SFTW album then within the next two Tull Tuesdays I will see and hear you react to Pibroch my favorite song from this album
The keyboardist in these videos is John Evan, not David Palmer. Evan was their original keyboard player.and can always be recognized by his Orange polka-dot tie and white suit..
Palmer had been doing some of the band's grander arrangements and joined the 1978 tour of Heavy Horses. If Palmer is on stage here, he's not been shown.
Palmer was on the left side of stage, opposite John Even, and began the "Velvet Green" segment.
Great music / reaction....orange😂
Thank you 😊 🤣🤣🤣
The lighting made Ian's red hat look orange. D. Palmer doesn't get as much camera time as John Evan, in the white suit. P.S. J.T. was called The John Evan band early on.
Ahhhh yeah I was getting them mixed up I think lol now I know.
Really? I'm glad they went with Jethro tull lol
The band took their songs writing, sound and how it was played even if you sort of think of it as technical to get it just right for the sound and how it was done to be just right ) Orange
three of the very best ever
Mathematically ... music was better then than now overall. It's that period between about 1966 to 1978 which was the golden age of rock. Orange you glad I didn't say orange ...
Here's to the orange hat on Ian's head. Great selection.
Orange. And Tull give good live because they practice like mad. It might also help that Ian Anderson doesn't do drugs - I can't see it myself, thoug4h4. Certainly, I'd like some of what John Evan is on. And I wouldn't say no to the kind of action enjoyed by both the Hunting Girl and the girl on Velvet Green. x
