Living in the past was 72.

Jethro Tull was one of those bands just loaded with musical talent. There are videos of them switching instruments and playing baroque-era instruments. Most of them never got the recognition that they deserved because they were all overshadowed by the genius of Ian Anderson. He was (and still IS) a phenomenal musician that could play numerous instruments (all self-taught). His lyrics were always thought-provoking, and his comedic genius on-stage was just what was needed when he was performing. There will never be another like him. He is in his 70s now and still performing! There are several fascinating interviews on KZread of him talking about his music and Jethro Tull…highly recommended! Others have suggested other songs/performances you should watch-Aqualung; Locomotive Breath; Thick as a Brick…

When you listen to Jethro Tull you better be ready for an E Ticket Ride. Tull has a library of songs that will leave you speechless. In prolly late 1970 or into 1971, I was home ported at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Jethro Tull came to town and played at a little theater off of Waikiki. The show was sold out but my buddy and I worked our way around to a side door. We tried the door and it opened, there was a stage hand there who saw we were alone. He made a shush motion with his hand and he let us watch the show off stage left. Holy crap, we were 20 to 25 feet from the drum kit. I'll never forget that night. Ian Anderson is/was 100% stand on the gas. That guy and the band put on one incredible show.

He was also recently in an episode of Norman Readus show where he tours exotic country on motorcycle. And finally, in 2002, Jethro Tull celebrated their official 50th anniversary.

Jethro Tull was formed in the UK by Ian Anderson (vocals, guitar & flute) in the 1960's and their debut album was released in 1968 ('This was') ... Anderson is the only original member left... Martin Barre (guitars) was the longest serving member of Jethro Tull, but the underrated guitarist and Ian Anderson parted company by 2012. Ian Anderson recently reformed Jethro Tull w/ new members and released 2 recent albums - 'The Zealot Gene' (2022) and 'RokFlote' (2023). Jethro Tull became a phenomenon in the 70's after the success of their 4th album 'Aqualung' in 1971... and 'Thick as a brick' in 1972... They released a string of gold selling records in the 70's, including 'Minstrel in the Gallery' (1975) and 'Stormwatch' (1979)... Their blend of heavy rock, blues and folk music was a unique approach to this day. Despite their 70's heyday... Jethro Tull encountered changing members throughout their career. The 80's brought about their decline initially, but the scored a gold selling record in 1987 - 'Crest of a Knave'... It infamously won a Grammy Award for 'Best Metal Record' in 1989, beating out favorites Metallica (The Grammy Awards were mocked endlessly for that one because Jethro Tull were not a metal band and did not expect to win the award!) Sadly, the 90's decade followed by the 2000's showed little fanfare for new music from Jethro Tull... the band stopped releasing new music after 2003 and split up by 2012 as a 'Legacy' band... However, Ian Anderson reformed Jethro Tull in 2017 (?) and their new records have actually charted worldwide. Classic Jethro Tull songs - 'Aqualung' ... 'Locomotive breath' ... 'Thick as a brick, Pt. 1' ... 'A song for Jeffrey'...

I went to a Tull concert at Portland's Memorial Coliseum, July 28, 1973 - 50 years ago! It was THE BEST concert I've ever been to. I recall them doing three complete albums, then they left the stage and the crowd went nuts stamping feet and holding bic lighters flames in the air and they returned for an encore, playing another entire album. They left again, and we repeated our side, and they came back for a second encore performance with the fifth full album of songs. 5 full albums. I tried to see if there were any reviews or set lists from that day. I could not confirm my 5 full albums story, but here is the setlist. that I found: 19 songs that I do remember. We all believed it was 5 full albums. 1. Thick as a Brick 2. Wond'ring Aloud 3. Crazed Institution 4. Conundrum(tour instrumental; features a drum solo) 5. To Cry You a Song 6. A New Day Yesterday(incl. flute solo; with 'Living in the Past' and 'Thick as a Brick' snippets) 7. Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young to Die 8. Minstrel in the Gallery 9. Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125-IV. Finale ("Ode to Joy") 10. My God(incl. 'Pop Goes the Weasel' snippet) 11. Cross-Eyed Mary 12. Aqualung 13. Guitar Solo 14. Wind-Up 15. Back-Door Angels(with guitar jam from 'Minstrel in the Gallery') 16. Wind-Up (reprise) 17. Locomotive Breath 18. The Dambusters March 19. Back-Door Angels (reprise) by setlist.fm

And, yes, he really does play the flute, and well. But most notable, he was a great showman. Best line of the concert: to his (new) guitarist Martin Barre -- "C'mon Martin. Show 'em your not just a studio guitarist. Show 'em you've got balls." And as a bit of a musician myself, I've always loved Tull.

Ian Anderson made Jethro Tull fun to watch on stage. Back then most bands just stood there, but he was always moving. Glad you appreciate this. I've been a Tull fan since 1972 - it was my first rock concert.

Thanks for watching too💕

I first saw Jethro Tull at the Los Angeles Forum in 1973. The band played this song and others from Aqualung, as well as A Passion Play and Thick As A Brick. This was an outstanding band and their music has held up very well after 50 years. Jethro Tull is right up there in my top 10 bands -- The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Love, Kansas, Rolling Stones, and ZZ Topp.

Hi there, love your reactions, mainly because of your warm personality and lovely smile. Progressive Rock was the genre of music I grew up on from my teenage year. I am 67, it was mainly popular in the 70s but I still love it. My personal favourite bands (in order) were Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and Emerson Lake and Palmer. The whole point of Progressive Rock is that they were trying new styles of music, blending different genres and basically they made music any way they felt like. It was a very exciting time to live in. Albums would be published and the fans had no idea what to expect. If you have not reacted to the above bands (and I am sure others here will have suggestions too) I recommend them all as worth a look.

Tull often lulls you in with softness then drops the hard rock hammer. Surprises around every turn in this genre. The Mad Bard is awesome. I would suggest Minstrel in the Gallery, a great great tune.

Thanks for the nice reaction. The great thing about Tull is their ability to flip between different instruments in the flow of a song. I love their audacious musical transitions and dynamism. In this song, the somnolent section was home base and Ian kept resolving back to it. He creates a sense of familiarity which he improvises away from, then snaps back to home base again. It's such a cool technique.

Ian Anderson's flute solos in concert have always been improv masterpieces - more so some time after this performance, after he had had some formal training (prompted by his daughter learning flute in school and telling him his fingering was all wrong). Somewhere out there is a video of sometime in the last few years when he gave a talk with performances to a group of music students from his favorite flute shop in London, where he made several points about the importance of improvisation in music.

Excellent reaction! Jethro Tull are absolutely amazing, everyone of them is a top-tier musician. Their 70s catalog is epic, "Aqualung" is probably their most famous song from that area, that would be a great reaction as there is an amazing live video of it on KZread from 1980. They had three consecutive albums in the late 70s that were their "Folk Rock" albums, "Songs from the Wood", "Heavy Horses" and "Storm Watch". All three are great and the live videos from that area will blow your mind (entire concerts from 1977 & 1978 are really worth watching), they used some medieval musical instruments during that era as well. They also influenced a ton of rock and Metal bands, especially Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull are one of the greats.

Those albums you referenced are not folk songs . They are rock albums with a blend of styles as Tull always mixes it up!

SFTW is by far my favorite Tull album, Not far behind is Minstrel in the Gallery.

Jethro Tull is by far one the most interesting bands from that time. Excellent musicians. Aqualung being one of their best.

The members of the band changed over the years. This is an early lineup; the best, IMO. Especially with Glenn Cornick on the bass guitar.

Interesting you mention Glenn Cornick. He was a truly brilliant, but little known bass guitarist. Very nimble on the fret board putting together lovely runs that matched the front music so well. I think his best work was on Benefit. I saw him live after Tull in Wild Turkey and couldn’t take my eyes off him, he is sadly with us no more and like so many bassists, went without the recognition he deserved.

Ian Anderson is definitely known for his flute playing. If you want an amazing flute within a rock song, you need to check out the song Supper's Ready by Genesis. Peter Gabriel plays the flute in a few places. It is a long song, but it is done in 7 parts and the live performance is something to behold.

I saw Jethro Tull's first performance in the United States by chance. JT was third on a bill that was headlined by Blood, Sweat, and Tears. So, Jethro Tull opened the show. They totally schocked The Fillmore East crowd. Instant superstars. I saw them numerous times during their first couple of years and their shows were always spectacular. Loved your reaction.

I had already been a Jethro Tull fan for many, many years - and quite familiar with the album version of this song… I used to practice playing drums along with it. When I finally saw this performance, I was really blown away at how extended the solo was, and Ian Anderson’s performance… “Full of surprises”, indeed!
