Master showman, musical genius, multi-instrumentalist, poet, Celtic warrior, and champion of the English language, there are few who rival Ian Anderson in the pantheon of rock and roll. And he did it all without artificial stimulants or bending the knee to commercialism and the US dominated music business. Well done Ian. You will live forever in the culture of quality music.

The most talented unique band. Nobody can imitate them.

I am 26 years old and I was raised on classic rock, that is all we listened to. I show people my age this song and they think it's weird and laugh, but I truly value and adore 60's-80's rock. Jethro Tull wasn't on my list of top bands as I didn't listen to them much, but about a month or so ago, I came across this song again and I haven't been able to turn it off. This one, as well as part two. There is just something so calming and satisfying about listening to this, his voice, the flute, the change of pace throughout the song. I have been so obsessed with this song, I play it in the car, at the gym, when I'm at work, you name it. Again, people look at me like I'm crazy when I play this song, but I DON'T CARE. This is true, authentic, music as well as talent from all these individuals. Jethro Tull is one of a kind.

The fact that they could play this complex music and still visually put on a show is always astonishing to me! Obviously Ian is just incredible but John Evan, Martin Barre, Barriemore Barlow and Tony Williams ( who was a last minute replacement as John Glascock became ill) are incredible as well. So grateful I got to see them many times from 1971 (with Clive Bunker) through 1976 until Jeffrey Hammond left. Greatest live act during that period. No one could touch them live. Pure joy!

Just 15 when i first listened to this 50 years on still listening that ssays it all

Historical concert. I had the double LP in my hands at that time.

I am 19 and I do love this sound

This reminds me of the Jethro Tull concert I attended in honor of Baldwin VI of Flanders in 1070 just before aid was requested from Philip I, king of the Franks.

masterpiece by a master english bard of the medieval ages

Unbelievable energy and stage presence, ddddaaamammmmnnnn!

Ian Anderson, a great performer. Whimsical, talented and a kick-ass flautist.

Genio Ian Anderson ,genios Jethro Tull,genial Thick As A Brick..genial volver a los 17 años cuando los descubrí ..

Jethro Tull is one of finest prog rock ever exist

I recall myself and a couple of my friends, way back in 1972, couldn't await the release of Thick as a Brick, being ardent Jethro Tull fans. What a surprise it turned out to be.

I remember watching the Telecast in 78. I was 16 and I’d not heard of JT prior to this, but god was I converted. I’m still a huge fan to this day.

Best flute player in progressive and classic Rock and Roll.

The best frontman alltime in the greatest live of history of rock.

Genius 😊❤

ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES FROM JEHTRO....UNFORGETABLE

I saw Tull in Milwaukee in 1972, soon after Thick As a Brick came out. Howlin' Wolf was the warm-up act. Tull was very different, and to release an album as one long song was definitely new. I clearly remember Anderson playing the flute with his leg lifted and his foot against his knee, in his signature stance, center stage. It wasn't until a couple of years later that someone told me to really listen to those opening lyrics. He was talking about us! Many years later I heard Anderson interviewed on a rock FM station in Minneapolis. The interviewer, a DJ there, kept trying to talk about the rock star life, the parties, etc. Anderson just kept steering away from that and said that in England he was paid only like a successful doctor, for example. That most of their income was taken out in taxes. But he loved the remote farm he lived on and he clearly wasn't throwing any TVs out of hotel room windows. A very anomalous band from the heart of the rock era. "Sitting on a park bench..."

Congratulations my friend: due to copyright strikes, this is the only version of TAAB live at MSG currently existing on KZread!

Damn, that was Zeppelesque, Ian's Whole Lotta Brick, may it go into the rock HoF where it belongs along with him.

Video +1, Audio -1. Crazy sibilance and distortion, not that the original didn't have issues - it seems to get better towards the end. Kudos nonetheless. Many, many thanks. I grew up listening to Tull on the radio. Puts me right back in my buddy's XR7 on a summer night, cranking the Pioneer SuperTuner with the Jensen Tri-Axials.

Boy! This is so intense when he flings his flute in the air and then catches it!!!!

When a wind instrument is played they put the microphone where the sound comes out- the opposite end from where you blow in. Like a clarinet or sax. With a flute it doesn't work like that. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I figure out why.
