He is one of the many reasons rock music was so good in the 70's.

You are not the only one that's obsessed Not everybody gets Tull - we're the lucky ones!

I saw Jethro Tull in 1978 (1st ever concert) I was 13. He was in his prime... Ian never stopped moving. I was right at the front of the stage. Phenomenal talent and the whole band was incredible.

Took my brother to see Tull at Red Rocks in like summer of '88 for the Crest off a Knave tour, when he was 13, his first concert. Tremendous show, Ian and Tull is one of the absolute greats.

I had this album back in high school in the seventies. Whole lot of fun. Ian thought of himself as a midevil bard or story teller hence the outfit. If you really listen to the riffs in the background, it sounds like a train coming down the tracks. Bless you.

I heard an interview once where Ian Anderson was asked why they dressed like they did and he said “Where else can you do what you love and dress like you are going to the Renaissance Faire?” There is many live performances of this song and every one of them is worth listening to. God Bless You and go out and have the day you deserve.

I was in Tampa having traveled to my Aunts to celebrate my 19th birthday in 1976. As a surprise my cousins got tickets to the Jethro Tull concert on Saturday night. I still remember the amazing showmanship of Ian Anderson and also the remarkable musicians in the band. That was probably in the top 5 of concerts I've seen over the course of my life.

back in 71 i was 19, living in a commune in Saint Augustine FL. and Jethro Tull 's Aqualung play all day long, every day. still love those songs

Bright Angel God bless you. Glad you enjoyed the Jethro Tull Medvieal Menstrel Vibe. A medieval minstrel was an entertainer who sang songs, played musical instruments, and sometimes performed other skills like juggling, acrobatics, storytelling, or magic. Jethro Tull brings all that and more. Thanks for the wonderful reaction and all the hard work you do to bring us some fun and joy.

An amazingly talented, intelligent band. Blues,rock,folk,jazz......are all incorporated into JT. The albums "Songs from the Wood" and "Heavy Horses" are masterpieces. Full of historic and dare I say it, pagan myth and mirth. Having said that,everything they have ever done is amazing. Completely unique .......🤟👍 .

Oh!! Best concert ever!!! Ian takes over that stage and he doesn't stop until it's over. You just sit there in awe of him and the band. Oh and God bless you!

Locomotive Breath was the first song I ever sang for karaoke 🤣. I saw them in concert and the first half was completely acoustic, the second half was electric. Fucking amazing.

This is my favorite of his. The studio version has a stronger polish (though still plenty of chaotic energy!) - the lyrics are definitely powerful.

In the 90s, JT came to Kitchener, Ontario and played at Lulu's, a huge nightclub (that is now no more). This was before smoking laws and that night, the event was a special non-smoking event. Ian thanked the audience for their consideration, explaining, "I have to take ten breaths for every one of yours." When you watch him play, you know what he means.

Britt the Beautiful always gets so animated when she stumbles a great tune. Gives me the warmies.

I love how a younger generation is revisiting bands of the 60s and 70s. Tull crossed my bow in 1972, even though they started releasing albums in the late 60s.

And they do it for two hours in concert. Saw them 3 times, all great shows. Love your reactions dear.

Not much to say about Ian Anderson and his band that hasn't been said already. This is one of their best. Brilliant.

Seen them 3 times through the years. Musicality is an understatement!

We grew up at the height of musical genius. I saw such greatness from soooo many.

Saw JT twice in the 70's. Left the concert feeling so energized. They put it all out there 100%. I didn't feel like they owed me anything. By the time they played this song I was already overwhelmed. Just a n incredible 2 hours.

Always great concerts to see. Their albums were beautifully produced and a must, especially with headphones and a doobie back in highschool. Britt, you are a doll and your spontaneous reactions are very entertaining. Thanks for the smiles. PEACE!!

Locomotive Sneeze. Have been enjoying your reactions the last few weeks, and now you're doing my all time fave, Jethro Tull. Too cool.. The intro here is different than the iconic album one, and that's why the crowd erupts just after it ends. Because now they recognize that it's Locomotive Breath, which they undoubtedly love and know every word. Also, Ian is always throwing in little pieces of brilliance that say a lot in a few words. Here I particularly like "He picks up Gideon's Bible, open at page one". Yeah, right. Now that life is going completely to hell, with no way to slow down, maybe begin think about God as a possible way out. IOW, a different way of expressing the "There are no atheists in foxholes" idea.

And then the next line is "I think that God, he stole the handle and the train it won't stop going, no way to slow down." He may briefly consider God as a way out, but quickly realizes if there is a God, he caused the problem in the first place.

Bless you BritReacts 🤧 This band is amazing, so many great songs

Thick as a Brick live in the early 70s when they did the entire 42 minute album version are amongst my best memories.

I loved your reaction! The faces you were making as you jammed along with his performance. Made my day! Thanks!

Saw them in '96 along with ELP. Fantastic show.

God bless you, twice!! Another great Jethro Tull song you need to listen to (if you haven't yet) is Bungle In The Jungle. This song is highly metaphoric about life on God's Earth. "And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass..." (for example). Ian Anderson was at one time was the richest rock stars because he never wasted his money on lavish lifestyles and instead investing in salmon farms in the UK. He moved out of the spotlight and played in local pubs.

Ian Anderson was a legend on stage, and Locomotive Breath was on of his biggest hits. He had another great hit with Bungle in the Jungle.

I saw them in concert years and years ago. Watching Ian and his flute was like experiencing an ancient god in the flesh. Not even kidding. He can make that flute sing.

I have been to a lot of different awesome concerts of all types, and I can say without a doubt that Jethro Tull is the best live show I have ever seen. Those dudes just broke the handle off

Got to see these guys at Montage Mountain PA...early '90's. Chicago opened for Emersone Lake and Palmer, who in turn, opened for Jethrol Tull. They opened with this song. it was an experience i'll never forget, as the crowd immediately gathered on that first note. the hillside just packed

Gesundheit! Excellent observation about his stamina; it's mind-blowing. And it's not just physical stamina on so many levels, to have that constant use of his lungs whether it's for maintaining dancing around, singing, or playing the flute, with hardly any breaks in any of that ever, his breath control is still there for him and completely under control.

Ian Anderson is the front man and he is the original band member. He writes all their music. He’s also a self trained flutist.

Gesundheit!! Jethro Tull was part of the early days of "Progressive Rock". Along with bands like Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Rush, and others combined Classical, Jazz, Rock, and other genres to push music out of the typical 4-chord 4/4 tempo packaged pop music. Their musicianship is unrivaled. Of all those pushing the boundaries perhaps no one pushed harder than Frank Zappa.

"You, you are a good person. But you didn't say 'bless you' when I sneezed" : Loki from Dogma

What a fantastic reaction, they are always full of that passion and God bless you.

Bless you. Tis the springtime for sneezing. Love your reactions. They are so great. ❤

I saw them live back in the 70's and it was the most fun I ever had at a concert. My face hurt from laughing the whole time. Ian Andersons on stage antics were hysterical. It was an experience I will never forget. And, by the way, Gesundheit!.

One of my favorite bands of all time. Attended many Tull concerts in my younger days and they just blew me away.

Martin Barre was the unsung star of this band. His guitarwork was and still is excellent.

Bless You! and again

Bless you. Greetings from Canada, where I've been a Tull fan since 1968. Ian Anderson will lead you from this paean of gathering doom- the unslowable locomotive population bomb- back to the Baroque Rock of 'Songs from the Wood', then leap to the dystopian future of 'Steel Monkey'. You've got a heckuva ride coming! Peace, love and bellbottoms.

May God bless you ma'am -- very cute sneeze !! Seen Jethro Tull in late 70's at Syracuse War Memorial - great concert - all hippies !

Ian Anderson is one of the coolest and energetic frontman we have ever seen. Love him!

God bless you twice, Britt! 😁 I'm so glad you have fallen for Jethro Tull. I think I caught them live four or five times in my youth, and every performance was absolutely epic! ♥️

Oh, you are my new favorite for awhile! I had the pleasure of seeing them in Frankfurt, Germany in 1990 (or maybe it was '91.) And bless you!

Britt, I love your reactions! “Back in the day” I went to three Jethro Tull concerts and they were AMAZING!!

This is my favourite Jethro Tull song, with Ian Anderson just owning it! Glad you enjoyed the perfromance, Britt! Oh, and God Bless You!!

When I was about 17, I had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull in concert back in the 70s. We were front row, center and Ian Anderson blew me away with his overall performance, and his flute playing was phenomenal -- he's self-taught, BTW! Thanks for this great reaction and choice! ✌💙✌

Hello Britt, nice Vid. I was there...16 years old, it was 10th of july 1982 in Dortmund Germany, first time seeing Jethro Tull....it was amazing.

I got to see hit in Sheboygan Wisconsin he played the 4th of July i found out and was right there i allways wanted to see him and is was amazing for a lil venue. This was when i was in my late 20s im 40 now but it was amazing to see him

Bless you! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

I saw him in 1981 when he was still in his 30s. He was jumping off the amplifier stacks while playing the flute in mid air. I was a teenager and I couldn't move like that.

God bless you, Britt. Way to power through your reaction to Jethro Tull :)

This was a central element of our college parties in late 70’s. This and Queen’s ‘ Tie Your Mother Down’.

Great Review!! Proud to say I was at that show!!

God Bless you, dear lady. Thanks for the awesome review. You are amazing. I grew up on Jethro Tull. I just took up the bass guitar 2 years ago and started working on Cross Eyed Mary. Amazing bass line.

🤧🤧 Love Jetho Tull...incredible band with incredible performances.

I started listening to Jethro Tull in 1969, Ian Anderson is one of the greatest performers I have ever seen, 12 times so far, he still performs. You are correct about his stamina as they usually do about a 2 hour show and he never slows down. I can still remember back in the day I use to imitate him hoping around on one leg.

Bless You! I saw Jethro Tull in 1971! A show I will never forget! Watching you react to it brings back great memories! Love your reactions! You are beautifu and so real and I am so jealous of your husband! Another band that had a cult following and and was a great stage show was Black Oak Arkansas! Please react to Uncle Elijah off their first album! Also any song off the Raunch N Roll Live album! Thank you for being you and keeping great music alive!!! ❤

The first rock concert I went to was Jethro Tull in 1978. It was an absolutely awesome experience.

God bless you! ... Bless you again!!!! I hope you're not allergic to Jethro Tull! 🎶🎸🖤

Ian Anderson and Martin Barre (Guitar) were in a dirty restroom just before a show, Ian used his left foot to lift up the toilet seat to pee, Martin said…. Can you stand on one foot through an entire song?. Ian said he will give it a go. While doing it on stage several photos were taken and it soon became a famous pose and band Logo.

Appreciate the one take policy...God bless you!! Tull are my first musical love, I started playing flute in middle school after hearing Thick as a brick...

Bless you! Love Jethro Tull Ian Andersson dresses as a minstrel, makes sense😁😁 Need to see them live

Jethro Tull has added color and joy to my life for 50 years. I saw them twice in Miami, once in Ohio. Happy to see you reacting to their music because their music is still relevant today, i.e. Aqualung representing our feelings and treatment of the homeless. I just subscribed to your channel. I want to hear what else you listen to.😊

They were my moms favorite band and I got to see them live on her birthday… best show I’ve ever seen

Greetings from Oregon. Such a great reaction. One of the greatest bands I've ever seen. Phido my 24 year old cat and I love you. Happy Easter

Their sound is the reason why they are up there in the top of my preferred bands )

This song was my first introduction to Jethro Tull, and it blew me away. Ian Anderson's flute playing was/is magical that you cannot forget. He always put in 120% into his performances. The entire Aqualung album is an experience of itself. "Bungle In the Jungle" is one of the songs that you can sit back and jam to all at the same time.

Thank you!!! and God Bless Ya! Sneezing is a normal reaction to the first exposure of that much greatness.

Nice catch on the second sneeze. After all these years it is always a pleasure to revisit the unique Jethro Tull.

He's unbelievable to see live. The best live rock shows I've ever seen. I've been to three

I was lucky enough to see them twice, in 1977 and in 1991.

When someone sneezes as cutely as you did, God bless and keep you! :)

I like the intro he does with the lone piano followed by a guitar sounding very classic and then throwing in some jazz licks

I'm in Florida, it is pollen season. Bless you! Love this song!

The Shakespeare of rock n roll.

Bless you. I sneeze when...I have a sense I'm not alone. There's a perfume smell sometimes. I've not figured out where it comes from. My dad a few months before he passed away said he seen a young girl sitting beside me. Said she was in her thirties, I'm older. Dad had a bacterial infection that caused him to see ghosts and dead people.

God bless you Britt. Hope you're sneezing is over. I love your enthusiasm and humor doing your reactions. May I recommend the Alan Parsons project "Time"

God Bless You! I saw Tull in concert three times, once in '77 (yeah, I'm old 😄 ) and in '98 and 2001. Each one a fantastic show and had the big bouncy ball at the end of two of those concerts. In this performance, it is really two songs, because once he stops singing, they immediately transition to part of the song Black Sunday. In the lyrics of Locomotive Breath, he mentions Gideon's Bible and says thank God, this song is from the Aqualung album, the album that has My God, and it has heavy religious-related themes. I recommend the song Hymn 43 from that album. Really suggest you listen to Thick As A Brick Part One, either the album side or a live video, it will really blow you away.

Your facial expressions while reacting are just simply priceless!… OMG ! Love your work 👍😎

People tell themselves they deserve this or they don't deserve that, but NOBODY knows what they actually deserve. So wishing people to have the day they deserve can either be a blessing or a curse.

Bless you... not just for the sneeze but for your great videos.

Bless you! That was a good couple of sneeaesr! They can be so satisfying! 😂

Sometimes balloons like that pop, because a concert goer forgets they have a lit joint in their hand….not that I smoked a joint, at a Tull concert, at MSG, during the Stormwatch Tour

God bless you for your sneezing and your channel ❤

Britt, I love that you love Jethro Tull! God bless you. 😄

A friend who attended dozens and dozens of concerts in the 80' and 90's told me he wasn't particularly a big fan of Jethro Tull, but it was the best concert he ever attended.

Saw Tull 8 times between 1972 and 1996, Ian was absolutely off the wall and utterly brilliant in the 70s but by the 90s had slowed down a bit but was still very entertaining and sang great every time I saw him. Best 2 times musically were in the early 70s, the first time was all about Thick as a Brick and the Aqualung tunes for me but in the mid 70s, the 3rd time was the Warchild tour and we had front row center, 3 feet from Ian Anderson and at times, Martin Barre. Mind blowing experience and bizarre at times, they were going out there with A Passion Play excerpt and though a brilliant album in its way, it is hard to listen to for much of the general public. Their more familiar tunes got standing ovations, the energy going back and forth with the crowd was exciting, great, great memories of Martin Barre just opening up right in front of us, goose bumps cubed! I Love Rock n Roll when the best are at their best, go see some live rock when can, nothing like it.

I saw JTull in Philadelphia on this "Bursting Out" tour where they sent the giant balloons into the crowd, they were a really amazing live band, sorry you weren't around for that, but if you were, you'd be old like me, so thank you for letting me experience these memories through your fresh young eyes!

1978 live from NYC Madison Square Garden, "Thick As A Brick"

The one thing to remember about Ian Anderson is that as a flautist, he was self-taught, and that it is only one of several instruments that he plays. We could al wish we had half his talent...

Robin and his merry men, first time I saw them was in dinkelsbuhl Germany in 1986, wish I could've seen Ian at the absolute height of his powers but it was still amazing. Deep purple was at the same show🥳

Tull is different. Love it. Puts on a great show

Hi Britt! I saw Jethro 1977. Fans loved him. One of if not the best rocking roll Flute player in the business. He's a trip! A legend! A master! He always play'd that flute on one leg mostly. He dresses like a Robin hood and his me So cool. He's a character for sure, but so good.....

I saw that concert in 1979, the Storm Watch Tour. Yes, there were balloons. Jethro Tull was one of the best shows I've ever seen balloons and all. The stage was set-up like a sailing ship deck with masts with rope ladders, sails and raised bow and stern. Very Cool and consistent with the 17th century time period when the person Jethro Tull lived. The ever present and phenomenal Ian Anderson with a great band was all I could ask for in a performance. I also discovered a great warm up act that I still listen to as well, UK a 3 piece band with no guitar. They rocked the stage with incredible drummer Terry Bozzio, keyboardist/electric fiddle player Eddie Jobson (both from Frank Zappa's band), and bassist and singer John Wetton (King Crimson). They are worth a look too particularly Caesar's Palace Blues.

Let me tell you a story Britt about my first time seeing Jethro Tull. The stage crew all wore brown lab coats and flat caps while setting up. Then more of them shuffled on stage and only when they hung their hats and coats up on hat stands did we realise it was Ian and the gang! No introduction whatsover. Needless to say it was a brilliant gig and at the end they put their hats and coats on and shuffled off

Seen them 8 times back in the day. This song WIL get you a speeding ticket

God bless you, Britt!

I love listening to music with you thanks
