There's nothing quite like Jethro Tull live because of Ian Anderson. He is probably the most underrated frontman in rock history. Whenever they'd have live broadcasts of their performances filmed, the entire band and especially Ian would stand completely still during rehearsals and then go all over the place during the actual performance so the cameramen couldn't keep up. Can't wait for you two to do more Tull reactions!

What timing! This Saturday I'm going to see Martin Barre (the guitarist for Jethro Tull) perform Tull's hits at a small venue in NH. This will make the 3rd time I've seen him. He's getting old, but still rocking out. Add my vote for 'Bungle in the Jungle' please, it's awesome.

Cross Eyed Mary, Hymn 43, My God just few gems from Tull

my favorite band of all time, love love love Jethro Tull, got to see JT live in the late 90s 8th row, Ian is scary up close

I saw them live in 1977. AWESOME SHOW. SEVEN ENCORES! Ian plays many instruments. Very talented group. Very high energy!

I have seen alot of live shows in my day. Rush and Triumph many times each, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath with Dio, Scorpions, David Bowie and on and on but, I have never forgotten the feeling I had after seeing Jethro Tull and how fully entertained I felt compared to others.

Um, no. Jethro Tull's greatest period extended well into the 70's up until the 80's.

I used to go see a local bar band in the Hampton/Norfolk area of VA that played the all of the hits of Jethro Tull, flute and all.

Jethro Tull is magical❤ these lyrics are so profound

Skating Away is my fave song of theirs. Great lyrics, too!

I read Geddy Lee’s autobiography, “My Eff’n Life”. He said that Jethro Tull was one of his progressive inspirations. I saw Tull live in the early 80’s at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. It was awesome!

We had it going on in the 70's!!!! This was great, I haven't heard in a minute

One of their best songs and they are very entertaining. Love this band. Really talented musicians.

There's lots of good stuff on their "Stand Up" LP which was their second LP release. "Nothing Is Easy" and "A New Day Yesterday" were standouts for me. The cover for "Stand Up" had a folded cardboard picture of the band that would STAND UP when you opened the gatefold. My favorite Tull story is their journey to their name. According to Ian, when they had a bad gig at a local bar or dance hall, they'd just change their name. Wouldn't have the rep of a bad gig follow them that way. They changed their name about five or six times before they settled on Jethro Tull.

Love Jt...what a great sound from the 70's! So refreshing to hear again

Yes, if they want live Tull, the Isle of Wight and Tanglewood shows are the ones to see, early, intense, rocking Tull, they should watch those shows.

A Little Light Music is a fantastic album- well done both of you.

i always marvel at how Ian Anderson was self-taught as a flautist. it's apparently not technically correct, but he picked it up and figured it out how to make it work for him and fit in in a rock band.

I love this song, I have seen Jethro 11 times in concert and you really need to do Too Old to Rock and Roll Too Young to Die.

This song and Serenade to a Cookoo are my favorite Jethro Tull songs.

Love this song!

I’m fairly confident this is the studio version being mimed for a TV performance. The live performances from 75-77 are their best, I reckon, With Ian in the red waist coat….

I saw then live in 71 it was great stage performance, Ian Anderson running all over the stage.

Being a old guy I remember seeing Jethro Tull live when they came to the US for the first time. They were big in England but really hadn't caught on in the US yet and they were on the bill for a benefit concert I went to and sounded great. They were more a straight rock band then not a Prog Rock band yet. I working in a record store for many years back then and Jethro Tull was HUGE back then a long string a big albums especially Thick As A Brick I sold tons of that album. Also back then because of Ian Anderson and his flute everyone was learning to play flute and you'd hear people play Tull song on flute everywhere you went. But Tull seems to die off quickly unlike Pink Floyd and other bands. Not sure why but I never hear people talk much about Tull anymore so interesting to hear them again.

Big TULL/ANDERSOn fan. Saw them 3 times. Have 5 of their albums. Favorite sang is SKATING AWAY(ON THE THIN ICE OF A NEW DAY) from the WAR CHILD album. Everybody I knew had THICK AS A BRICK album when it came out. The lyrics from it are amazing. peace

Another Tull song to check out is "Bouree". An instrumental adapted from J.S. Bach's "Bourree in E Minor", the flute and the bass are phenomenal.

Rainmaker by Traffic (Steve Winwood) has Chris Wood on the flute & is an awesome song that blends folk & rock with the flute

My Dad met Ian while walking in Scotland, he has or had a fish farm on an estate in scotland. My dad when he realised who he was, told him that his daughter was a huge fan and I adored this track. I saw Jethro Tull while at college in the 70`s.

I have seen them live and it is incredible. You should check out their albums though on your own Thick as a Brick is an entire album, but it is just one song. Another great song that you guys CAN react to is Songs From the Wood

Their music is really mind-engaging. Love it! I imagine you'd like Bungle in the Jungle and Thick as a Brick also.

I've seen Jethro Tull 5 times through the years. One of the best concerts. Ian Anderson us such a showman..very funny too....

Wow! You got back to Tull! Was wondering if you would ever get back to them.

He's humming a harmony with the note he's playing. It's very original and captivating

I was a huge fan back in the day. Thanks for the memories.

Tull always takes me to a renaissance time.

One of the best concerts I saw in the late 70's. Pure theater

in case yer confused, i believe this is Tull miming to a pre recorded live version of LITP which had to be rerecorded for a tv show. And it's spot on!

Greg Lake, the best singer in progressive rock, also sung on King Crimson's first two albums. Epitaph is my favorite King Crimson song. With Robert Fripp and Greg Lake you can go wrong. Also, Amber will love the poetic lyrics written by Peter Sinfeld.

'Minstrel In The Gallery' has some interesting dynamics, blends and transitions.

One of those rare bands that are just meant to be experienced live. Ian Anderson is one of the best front men ever. Up there with Freddie Mercury.

You definitely would dig “Songs from the Wood” for Tull mixing renaissance fair music with prog rock.

Goosebumps! Pure talent and such a pleasure.

Yes, some old school Jethro Tull, those early Tull albums are utter classics, I get you want to see them live and that is fair enough BUT Please don't ignore the album originals for the same reason as Zeppelin or the WHO: their studio mastery, pristine mixes and the original classic songs are almost always a better audio experience for sure. Live is always a it looser and Ian is a must see. Try Sweet Dreams from the same album, live is nice, studio, classic. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎻🎷🎶

YOU GUYS STILL GOTTA GET TO ( MY GOD ) 70 LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT 💯😊TAKE GOOD CARE JAY & AMBER! 👍

I love you guys! I've been waiting so long to see my favorite band. I saw them 5x in the 70s and still listen to them. Please, please do Songs From the Wood and Witches Promise!!❤❤❤

Just seen Jethro tull a week ago, and at 76 he's still a great entertainer

"Witch's Promise"! Big hit. Must hear!

Definitely one of the most underrated bands ever. Sheer brilliance as usual.

Jethro Tull is cool, check “Too old to rock ‘n roll too young to die”

Simply a one-of-a-kind fantastic band. They play some many genres that they are their own genre.

The thing about already living through the 70's means you have a new appreciation for the songs years later

I think that this was probably Tull’s most mainstream commercial song. Not putting it down, I love it, but it’s not high on my list of favourites. Bungle in the Jungle was another of their few radio hits and I never cared much for it in the old days but I’ve grown much more fond of it now. For my personal tastes I like anything off of either Heavy Horses or Songs from the Woods best.

Firstly Jethro Tull was never really a singles band, Living In The Past was like many of Tull’s albums a concept album. Secondly this performance was not live but they were miming to the studio track. Believe me I am 68 and was in the audience for this TV show as a young man.

Great reaction guys. Keep up the great work!!

I play the vinyl 45 of this often, such an uplifting yet introspective tune. I have seen Tull & Ian Anderson many times & they were always great.

"Hunting Girl" a great deep cut ...puts the "ROCK in prog-rock🎸🎶

Crosseyed Mary by Jethro Tull is great. Got to watch live also.
