Was 16 when Thick as a Brick came out and I was hooked after that and have been since. The current generation was robbed. We had artist who could actually play and were creative.

After 50 years, he hasn’t lost anything.

This song was the “first” I ever downloaded from radio to 8track !

Enjoy all, there will never be another, I can promise you that. He is one of a kind to me, to me and others I’m sure. Rock on Ian as long as you can !!! 🎶 AND REMEMBER THERE’S NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN, OH NO 🎶🎶 !!

My 23 year old son stop by my place just yesterday showing me his Jethro Tull albums he found at a local Peddlers Mall. I turned him on to Jethro Tull when he was just a child. Turned out to be a pretty cool kid

What a master of the flute. An awesome song that I have loved from the first time I listen to this classic. 🎶

People actually started sitting down, but not my wife or myself. I guess we were the only ones who knew what was coming.

I Thank almighty I grew up in this time period even if I am old!!!

He was at the very end of his voice here. I went to see him shortly after this was recorded and it was gone forever by then. He found a guy who now does the singing in his band (Jethro Tull is no more) and this guy sounds EXACTLY like Anderson in his prime. It's unbelievable how similar they sound.

After a 55-year career as a rock and roll fan, I've seen most of the big names with some true geniuses along the way. The best show I EVER saw was Jethro Tull. The next best show I ever saw was the second/last time I saw Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson is a true and clever master of instruments, composition, lyrics and performance. He once conducted the Hong Kong Philharmonic in a performance of his Jethro Tull masterpieces (with his flute as a baton). Are you kidding me? Let me stop right there. Bravo!!!!!

I met Martin Barr in Cleveland some years ago and he gave me and a friend backstage passes. I happened to take my Fender acoustic with me and the whole band signed it... it's sitting right next to me and is one of the coolest things I own. Great bunch of guys... and a great show.

Real instruments played by real musicians. Fabulous stuff.

I turned on to Tull with the "Thick as a Brick" LP. I played it at least 3 times a day and could sing along with the lyrics cause I had 'em memorized. I had this cheesy little record player that played 33 1/3 and 45's no problem. It closed up like a lunch box and was this funky pastel blue color. There were few real stereo systems around me back then. I've always loved Tull fifty years on. Wow, fifty years on.
