Contrast that with an 80's Metallica concert on the Justice for All tour. I couldn't hear properly for 2 days after. Same for Iron Maiden. Great concerts - waaayyyy too loud.

I remember when they were given a Grammy for best heavy metal album, and so many people were indignan: “Who the hell is Jethro Tull?” Sure, there’s a valid argument to be made over classification, but at the time I wanted to say, “You all and your f***ing heavy metal Grammy aren’t WORTHY of Jethro Tull!

Ian Anderson was a man born in another time and thankfully time travel to bring us some of the best music ever. To watch some of his live performances is mind-blowing. How fortunate I was to live in the age of music. Had the opportunity deceit all twice in the mid-70s. I noticed you paused your bobbing and thought for a second when you heard him sing while he was playing his flute he's quite famous for doing both at the same time. And watch him do it live it's seamless. He's also called the one legged flute player since he often stood on one leg when he wasn't busy moving about. The band is tight, and Ian is self-taught. A true Musical genius.

Yup, he's the Nietzsche of rock, the Shakespeare, too.

This is my house cleaning song - when my kids were little, they knew Mom was about to get serious when they heard the opening strains of this Beauty. I will always love this song with all my heart and if this doesn't get you fired up, you might want to check your pulse.

Cross-Eyed Mary next! Trust me. 🙂

This song rocks. Still remember hearing my older brother playing this when I was 12. I was hooked.

Ahh, the beauty of older siblings with good taste!

The muted strum on a harmonic fret really drives this number. Without doubt one of my top 5 ever bands.

You would love the first album "This Was". Best blues music you will here. I'm 67 and this was my music. I get a kick out of watching a new generation love my music.

Hymn 43 has everything you guys would want.

70’s Banger 🤘🏼 9.0 I think the only place to go from here is Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung” .... if you want more flute “Cross Eyed Mary” 🤘🏼

1974 - MILWAUKEE ARENA. Thai stick. Giant , white inflatable ball pushed out into the crowd. Sheer awesomeness. Love your channel. I’m 60.

Lead flute!! Can you imagine! 40 years later and it still rocks heavy balls.

Lots of great Tull songs. We used to know, Teacher, Skating away. His live videos are fun to watch as well.

He's definitely a one man party, on stage.

I forgot about Skating Away. Good tune

Locomotive Breath is what Tull fans call "the anthem."

My friends & I used to turn up the speakers full blast for this song in particular! We all saw Jethro Tull LIVE, TWICE! One for their Thick As a Brick album, the other for their A Passion Play album! IT WAS AWESOME! Back in the day, big bands would actually play PASSED the allotted time if they felt like it! WHOOHOO! Zeplin played till 2 AM when we saw them! SO FUN! We actually clapped,yelled,danced back then, instead of trying to film it with a cell phone...

Favorite band. Ian Anderson is amazing to watch live. This song was playing through my head when the epidural took in only half my side during my daughter's birth. Skating Away is a good song; Benefit album has great Tull songs (With you there to help me, Teacher, ...). Your mom is wise beyond her years.

Aqualung and the song cross-eyed Mary are awesome also... the whole Aqualung album is good

Hi guys. The Tull are an amazing band. Check out Cross Eyed Mary and Aqualung. You will not be disappointed. Good reaction. Keep up the good work and rock on!

Nasty. Jethro Tull in concert (video) is amazing. He is incredible. His flute is wild!

Tull is amazing, there will never be another! So many great artists from the 60’s & 70’s! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You have to watched them preform! He is a showman! 👍

"Aqualung" from that same album... It tells the story of the character on the cover art! The intro will instantly be familiar to anyone who lived in the 70's... It is the signature Jethro Tull song for even the uninitiated.

I had a T-shirt made with "Aqualung" on the front, "Disco Sucks" on the back. 1976?

Hahaha, the true sign of a GREAT song : When the song ends but your head is still boppin and bobbin to the beat, lol.

Jethro Tull, great live band. Never missed a show. Queen quality live, with dress theatrics. Top shelf band.

The 70’s had the best music ever!

Check out "The Teacher" from an earlier Jethro Tull album. And yes, more killer flute!

You guys NEED to listen to Living in the Past, probably Tull’s best song ever.

It is wonderful to hear this kind of response from younger people to Jethro Tull. I remember not being sure how to react to Tull 50 years ago and this is nice. There is nothing comparable to Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull so the magic stands on it's own. I have seen this song live and fully acoustic in concert and if you think it loses power in that form you are mistaken - still one of the most powerful rock songs ever!
