On the Drunk Reaction video you guys saw us lose our minds at Focus whippin’ out the flute and said if we liked that when we HAD to check out some Jethro Tull, and this was the song we saw the most! And damn it was a BANGER! What’s the next Tull song we doing guys?! Drop it down below, see you guys! Cheers! 🤟🏻🔥🙌🏻
Aqualung
OK, I'll be a pest again and request this one more time: Thick as a Brick live video, NY 1978 Madison Square Garden. Best live sound you can hear. OK, whip out the bug spray.
I like your reactions and the goofy faces you make when lost in the music. We all do it. Here is one of the greatest songs no one has ever heard of. I have found ZERO reactions. Fakin' Dub by The Pressure Boys is worthy!
The best Jethro Tull bangers are Hymn 43 and Aqualung.
To be honest, JT has a handful of AWESOME songs and the rest are just so-so.
FYI Thick as a Brick is one song, about 40 minutes long.
If you like muted strumming....you MUST hear Hymn 43 (from Tull)!
You will never mistake Jethro Tull for any other band. A totally unique sound.
That's how all music was in the late 60s through the 70s. Then the corporations started to tell the artists what to sound like and what would sell. Music has never recovered ...
Same with pink floyd. Both are my fav bands of all time
@@williampotter2098 Yup. Never.
Indeed....except when the Eagles rip them off.....th-cam.com/video/5EBQ-ljFlt4/w-d-xo.html
The grammys mistook Jethro Tull for metal once....At metallica's and other's expense lol...
I once saw Ian Anderson answer the question of why he played the flute in a rock band. he said, " I set out to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time. Then when I heard Eric Clapton the first time, I thought I would have a better shot at being the greatest rock flutist of all time."
Said he would be, at one and the same time, the world's best and the world's worst rock flautist!
Rock flautists ... right up there with rock bagpipers!
@@Rigoletta53 Bon Scott was a bad ass on bagpipes.
Ian Anderson is a very accomplished musician in his own right. Besides the flute, he plays a number of stringed instruments. He also plays the harmonica and saxophone.
@@jurgentreue1200 He play all the instruments on Jack-in-the-Green on Songs from the Wood
"Not what I expected." Heh: Welcome to Jethro Tull, guys.
God I'm glad I was young when this album was first released. Nothing I hear today comes close to the music from those days.
I am 16 and I enjoy it as well I miss that kind of music as well
There is still fantastic prog coming out nowadays, it just doesn't see the kind of success it did in the 70s.
Amen!
"Aqualung" featuring one of the greatest often overlooked guitar solos in rock.
flubblert Jimmy Page was in the studio when they recorded it, and he said it was one of his favorite solos of all time. I just learned this recently, and it made me happy, because it’s always been one of my top 5 favorite guitar solos. So perfectly placed, perfect melody, perfect buildup and transition back into the song.
@@sarahzentexas so cool to hear that Jimmy Page said that. It's probably in my top five as well. A perfect Little slice of heaven in an otherwise really dark song that elevates it to another whole level before dropping you right back in.
Yep. Agree w/ flubblert, Sarah & Yaktahbay. --- I only have one problem... I'm like Alex. He hears drums. I hear Flute. haha. :) Great day to ya!
@@lisaw5604 the drum work in Aqualung is no joke, Lisa. You get no argument from me.
Absolutely
Welcome to Jethro Tull. Back when music was actually music.
Oh, yeah.
@@AdrienneAce2 amen !!
🎼✌
cmdrbnd007 Bond Amen! Amen! Those of us who grew up in the late 60's and 70s were totally spoiled musically. I didn't know it at the time but when I hear auto tuned, overdubbed, multi looped, drum machine driven cacophony of crap that is presented as a stage show disguised as music it became self evident that there's music and then there's well....pretty people making noise! Peace.
@@stephenspero3201 Totally spoiled musically... an era that can never happen again.
The opening of this song is such a beautiful build up into a giant ball of unstoppable energy. I'm pretty sure I can take down a water buffalo bare-handed if this song is playing.
Alan, let me know when you plan on taking down that water buffalo. Maybe we can tag-team with me handling a rino...just crank up Tull.
Great description!!!!!
...what if the buffalo is listening to the same song?
Happy to say I saw them perform this live in '78. The R&R Hall of Fame is a hall of shame for not inducting them yet!
I'm 64 and have a BLAST watching your reaction to the classic rock my generation grew up on!! There's a LOT of it out there. Have fun exploring!
52 here and though I am a teen of the 80s had an older brother sooooo 70s ruled at the house. Thank goodness. When music was real and not "produced"
I just turned 59. Been rocking to Tull my entire life thanks to my older brothers & I like all of it-top to bottom. All their style changes. Minstrel is my fave followed by Stand Up & Benefit. Three completely different albums. That’s Ian for ya. LOL And yeah what a blast seeing these two discover our music.
@@loki6253 Same age. Saw Jethro Tull in Vancouver, Canada (1985) all by myself as none of my idiot friends wanted to go. I swear to god it was the best sounding concert I had ever been to and since. It was like listening to an amazing home system cranked, with zero distortion and an amazing stereo effect. I knew then that they cared more about the actual music than it's volume. 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.
Poor Ians age is catching up with him. Apparently he has COPD now which is obviously affecting his singing if you watch a later video. I have it from smoking. Not dying yet but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
65 and me too. These kids don't have a clue the great music we grew up with!
I'm 72 and went to 3 of his concerts. Fantastic!
I've enjoyed Jethro Tull since I was my early 2o's, I'm 71 now. Glad you liked it.
"Living in the Past" By Jethro Tull is worth listening to just for the intro.
Listening to a recording of Jethro Tull is only a small part of Jethro Tull, you have to see a video of them playing live. Ian
Anderson, lead singer, is wild! Crazy eyes, wild expression, boundless energy.
Dude's a friggin maniac on stage
"Cross-eyed Mary"
I bet they have already discovered the Iron Maiden cover version!? th-cam.com/video/hebZV0l0Lng/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forget about the banger that is Hymn 43
@@dadof4813 AH, JESUS SAVE ME!
Cross Eyed Mary is their best tune
@@ajagoff
Oh, father high in heaven
Smile down upon your son
Whose busy with his money games
His women and his gun
Jethro Tull: Cross-Eyed Mary
(From this same album, Aqualung, but it’s a banger extraordinaire. Trust me. *Fat* riffs to die for, and some more killer flute... This song has some serious Mojo...)
i 2nd that: Cross-eyed Mary, the remastered version (40th anniversary)
A song so amazing it was covered by Iron Maiden as a b-side.
Completely agree. Some quality headphones are *highly* recommended as well. Cross-Eyed Mary is thick with subtly fat guitar.
That's what I said. Cross Eyed Mary is bada**!
And it’s about a Catholic schoolgirl prostitute, so yes, a real banger.
Two hidden gems from this album, one a banger and one a musical masterpiece: Hymn 43 and My God.
"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy." To this phenomenal BARD of my lifetime and beyond. Ian takes me back to ancient British isles and the tales sung.👍
The lead guitar, Martin Barre. Rarely does he get the credit he deserves. His work on this track is perfect.
An absolutely brilliant and underrated guitar player.
This a perfect example of the function of lead guitar! Love it!!
I've been listening to Martin Barre for more than 50 years and saw him live several times. He is every bit as good as Clapton, Page, and any other great guitarist you can name. He does not get the recognition he deserves, but other great guitarists know how good he is.
if u want to here some good guitar work listen to some atlanta rythym section.
10-4
Tull’s Minstrel in the Gallery is a must listen
agree, was listening to the CD about a week ago.
Masterpiece.
That's great, hardcore, prog rock Tull you just mentioned.
Most solid albums: Heavy horses, Songs from the wood, Aqualung, Stand up, Minstrel in the Gallery, Thick as a brick.
These I recommend as first buys and listens.
Baker Street Muse, definitely.
Locomotive Breath is
Not a song
Its an experience, a prayer.
Definitely a ride
Jethro Tull is in a class all by themselves. The absolute best of rock and roll.
Cross-eyed Mary
Aqualung
It might help to picture them as medieval minstrels who play rock-n-roll.
M Potter exactly!
Ritchie Blackmore, but in reverse?
That's a fantastic way to put it! Perfect!
Yep, Cross-Eyed Mary is a goodie.
... "Was not what I expected to hear !" ---- Welcome to Jethro Tull man !
Son: "There's something about a flute rock band that's so not cool!"
Mom: "Foolish boy. You know not of what you speak!|
As the mother of a 40 year old son I gotta say having them come tell you how right you were just never gets old. :D
this song made me appreciate the flute
welcome to the 70s me lads. now u know why us ole geezers are so critical of what you all call music nowadays. rap. they couldent hold ians mic stand.
There was one and only one station that would play this type of music in my city
Thank you KGB
@@rsp8999 lol. Seriously? A radio named KGB?
Just a heads up. Back in the day, it wasn't listening to one track, it was a WHOLE album.
Unless you bought the single
@@mike04574 good point. But, doing some mushrooms and listening to an album in its entirety, was an experience unto itself.
Or sitting around in front of the stereo with the posse passing joint after joint listening to album after album for hours. Pass the screaming yellow zonkers please.
@@johndoe-gt6gp you guys, too?
The chunky guitar riff is supposed to emulate a train chugging down the track.
If you pay attention the beginning of the song emulates a train taking off. Tull never missed a beat in those days. I play this song on the keyboard and the whole thing is built around mimicking a train in motion. Some of the live versions of the song make it obvious where they are coming from. The version on A Little Light Music shows how the song is built around a train sound.
@@shootr1303 And the bass part is the piston driving the wheels! Our 3-piece band covers this one. Fun!!!
Aqualung -- Jethro tull they have so many killer tracks like the Full version of Thick as a Brick which u did a really short version of. They are like King crimson with progressive rock being one of the first bands to have the genre
This is the banger A&A need to check out for sure.
Snots running down his nose!
Yes Aqualung!
Speaking of King Crimson I think that Epitaph is a must for a view at their Music.
When I saw 'Tull' back in the '80s, King Crimson was their opening act.
As a bartender at many rock bars in the 60s and 70s I heard many cover bands play all the stuff you guys review. I am 73 now and see your faces reflect all that I felt listening to these rock classics. Rock on!,
Been their did that. 75 now and agree, totally.
Jethro Tull played the best concert I have seen in my life! 100's of live shows from The Dead, Dylan, Yes, etc. and Ian Anderson and the rest of Jethro Tull put on the best show ever IMHO!
I first saw Tull in concert 45 years ago. So good to see the music is gaining new listeners. I bought my 1st album by them in 1969.
That would be about right for me, too. I've seen them all, I think, and can say with total confidence that Tull produced the finest live performance I have ever heard in the pre-digital era. Perfection to the core. If it was audible on the vinyl, you heard it live as well.
Heard this in '71. Skewed my 13 year old world. Nothing was ever the same.
I'm old school, listened and danced to this back in the days. I love seeing younger folks experiencing older music. Stick with us older folks and we will show you music that will blow your mind!
Jethro Tull's "Bourée" is still my fav ... Stereo at it finest :-) Quite a good band :-)
We left the alter to Bouree, my hubs and I❣
Ian Anderson is the singer and flutist.
Also guitar
Also class A stork imitator. One legged flautist. This band was huge for years.
It's flautist. (a flute player)
@@TONY-qj1nk I know my daughter is one and auto kept changing it so I just gave up.
Also the father-in-law of Andrew Lincoln, Rick on the Walking Dead.
Try "Cross-Eyed Mary" Musically, these guys are off the chart.
If you like Tull, this is a MUST!
Mother Goose is my favourite track off Aqualung. The entire album is epic.
@@jurgentreue1200 "My God"
The entire album is great. Again, album oriented rock. Not Tull, but John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band was up there with Aqualung and Tommy for me!
@@OutnBacker Yeah, lyrically; My God, musically With you there to help me.
This is the song I would put on when summer was officially here and I was driving down the road with the windows down and the sun falling through the windows.
Hymn 43- Jethro Tull! BANGER! I promise!!
If Jesus saves .. well he better save himself .... one of me favorites. Crossed eyed Mary. Absolute best concert I have ever seen and I've seen a lot!
Throw a dart at the Jethro playlist. Any album, any era. You will always hit something worthwhile, and more often than not 'something gold'.
Avoid 1984.
@@seed_drill7135 But do Quest Of A Knave
@@waynestumbo2408 "Crest" of a Knave. And definitely, if just to troll Metallica fans.
Bungle in the Jungle is weak
Teacher is not
I personally like Passion Play
Jethro Tull excellent. Don’t forget songs from the wood my favorite Jethro Tull album great for this time of year into the winter love you guys
Hunting Girl?
Back in the day when you went speaker shopping...u would bring your own music to the store so u could here the speakers with the music that I like...always brought Songs from the Wood...amazing instrumentals.
@@jazzyboy7784 - My speaker shopping music was always the first Ambrosia album.
Martin Barre-one of the most under-rated guitarists in rock history. And what a great live-performing band. Very few people with electric stage presence like Ian Anderson. 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!
Dude, you have NO IDEA THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND LITERARY CAPABILITIES of Ian Anderson yet...just wait!!
Yup, he's the Nietzsche of rock, the Shakespeare, too.
You have to watch a Live video, that's where Jethro Tull shine the most. Ian Anderson is an amazing showman.
"Aqualung" and "Living in the Past" are excellent Jethro Tull selections as well, especially Living in the Past for its flute rendition.
Same two I replied with, but I neglected to mention the flute relevance in LITP.
whazzuphere: "Living in the Past" was written on a bet between Ian Anderson and his publicist that Anderson couldn't write a hit song in 5/4 time. He won.
@@barrywerdell2614 Interesting fact. 5/4 time is a bit challenging. The most famous song I know of written in 5/4 is "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quarter (another great song, but of the jazz genre).
The Aqualung album is also a "theme" album - It needs to be listened to from side 1 song 1 to the end... it's a story.
Ian Anderson actually hated that people considered Aqualung a concept album, he didn't think of it that way at all. So he made Thick As A Brick as "the mother of all concept albums."
not a bad song on Aqualung
No, Agualung was NOT conceived by Ian Anderson as a concept album, that is why he did A Passion Play and Thick as a Brick.
I went to Tull concert in St Paul back in 1977 and it started with Ian Anderson putzing around the stage like a stage hand. I didn't know who he was! He was setting the stage, like a worker! and then he pulled out his flute and the concert began! Epic!
Goosebumps love how you guys look over at each other sometimes at the same time
"Aqualung" was the first album I ever bought by myself. Eighth - ninth grade. Saw Tull, at least, 10 times since.
I only got to see them once....something that people who have never seen them can’t fathom, Ian Anderson is such a brilliant entertainer, what a fun frontman.
That's awesome. My family moved back to the States from Tokyo in 1972. That first Christmas back, we all went to a huge mall here in the Denver area called Cinderella City. I bought Aqualung for my brother. When we opened gifts, he had bought the same album for me. Still one of my favorite albums.
Was stationed at Lowery. I remember Ciderella City. Haven't thought of it since '78.
Wow, I got to see them once on their "Rock Island" tour, and I am SO glad I did. They were amazing. I envy you for seeing them so many times.
Same here my first 2 albums were aqualung and paranoid , first show ever was Tull Boston 78 !
Back in the day when songs had proper intros that could last 1, 2 or even 5 minutes 😎
Or 25 or 6 to 4 minutes
@@vityazhoroshozashedshy s😀👍
Longer attention spans.
You have to know that every member had a classical formation in music. But make sure you watch them on live videos, because one aspect you miss when you only listen is the way Ian Anderson moved at all times. His choreography brings another dimension to it all. A real performer in all its meaning. He's recognized as the artist who brought the flute to rock'n roll
You should watch their set live on the Isle of Wight festival. The musicality is insane and it's sublime to watch.
Nobody rocks the flute quite like Jethro Tull. They have many great songs. To me this one and Aqua Lung are at the top!
Check out "Skating away on the thin ice of a new day"
Yes! My favorite Tull. But very lyrics driven and I get the feeling that Alex at least, and maybe Andy too, aren't really interested in lyrics.
I knew from the time I was in 5th grade that I would one day work at a radio station...and I did. It was the happiest 10 years of my working career. I can't play an instrument or sing worth a lick but by working near music made me glad every day to get up and go to work. Thank you, Bev and Jeff, for helping me achieve a dream.
For me, before the lyrics start, it seems to be a progression of musical forms, from the original piano chords being semi-classical, then evolving quickly into blues and jazz, the evolving into rock.
Intro is like a roller coaster's initial climb and then it takes you over the edge on on a hellova ride... ✌️❤️🎶
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! 👍
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.
Jethro Tull is a master flutist. You guys have no idea what that decade put forth in the way of music. Awesome stuff! I really get a kick out of seeing the reactions of today's young people when you hear the music of my youth. Nothing today compares.
I'm sorry, I am WAY late to the party, but Andy's reaction at the beginning was awesome! Then both your reactions when the flute jammed in there made me smile. Your honesty of your appreciation of music from (now known as the oldies) makes me really enjoy your reactions. Thanks for this. Cheers!
I saw Tull 3 times in the 70's. One of my favs from the Golden age of music! A sound like none other, and extremely innovative. My favorite Tull tune is Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of New Day.
I've watched several of your videos now and really enjoy watching the facial expressions as you listen to these old tunes for the first time. I am an old rocker (68 years old) and I played these songs back in the day, and I can remember my own reactions when I heard them for the first time myself, so I can relate. Amazing that they still make an impression like they did many years ago...
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
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!
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.
Such a fantastic band to dive deep into. Songs from Stand Up are fantastic - Aqualung is amazing and to think at one time they had invited Toni Iommi from Black Sabbath to join them - that would have been interesting to hear Ian with Toni's dark and heavy riffs! Also the STUNNING fact that Ian just basically dropped learning the guitar after hearing the likes of Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page and then SELF TAUGHT the flute LIKE THAT in record time isn't humanly comprehendible to this guy. I need your reactions to more Tull like Hymn 42, My God, New Day Yesterday, Boure'e etc!
My God by Jethro Tull! Awesome song and my favorite from that album!
Aqualung - one of the greatest songs of all time.
Pretty much the best fuckin album of all time. BTW, I was at their concert in Knoxville when they debuted Thick as a Brick in the spring of 72', they played for close to 4 hours that night. Never seen anything like it before or since.
I was at that show also. A[so saw them in Knoxville when they did Aqualung album. Two of my favorite concerts , and I've seen a lot.
@@rce2198 Those were the days brother!
Jethro Tull, great live band. Never missed a show. Queen quality live, with dress theatrics. Top shelf band.
Mr. Crowley Live 1981 or studio !!! absolute smasher friends!
Yes Heart Of The Sunrise!!
Hell yeah! So heavy !
JD Chase - And of course, “Sound Chaser”!
I am thrilled for you guys...you have some great music ahead of you... He was incredible to see in person. He would stand on one foot when he played at times..and blew you away every time.
This was one of my all time favourite reaction, it's just a pleasure to watch the boys enjoy the song so much, all the expressions were priceless. Thank you!
Hymn 43 has everything you guys would want.
I can´t put into words how gratifying it is to watch you guys' reactions to songs that meant so much to me back in the day. I love hearing your commentaries too; there are things about the songs I hadn't noticed, and the things I had noticed make the same impression on you.
I bought this album back in the 70's, and it's Tull's best by far. I've heard this song a million times, but watching it with you, with headphones, gave me chills...especially the volume transition from the piano piece to the guitars and drums. So what you guys really don't understand, is that this song still sounds good 40 years later.
I'm almost 70 years old and this is still one of my jams. Thrilled that younger generations are enjoying this iconic music. Thank you guys!
One thing that y'all get to appreciate the music of you grandparents.
steve clapper, wait until your grandchildren listen to the popular music of today and wonder “did any of these bands play anything other than 48 track mixing boards, and public domain samples?” LOL! Not only did we old geezers get to see all the great bands, ticket prices were never over $5-$6 USD!
Aqualung and the song cross-eyed Mary are awesome also... the whole Aqualung album is good
I saw them in concert in 1972. Just think your grandparents jammed out to Jethro Tull. Your grandparents were cool years before y’all were ever thought of.
So glad I lived during a time with such incredible and inspiring music. Great to see live as well.
skating away is a good song from them.
"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?
and that constant bend in the bass line. Chuggin' like a locomotive. Andy and Alex, Cheers ! and THX. Yuma,AZ.
You guys nailed it in your reactions when listening to this song.!! Im sure I speak for many Tull fans when I say how incredibly gratifying it was seeing these 1st time reactions. I like this concept. The candid reactions melted my heart.. I couldnt wait to see you reactions when the flute solo came on!!! You guys felt the song, and there was no hiding it. How bout frames -3:38-3:48 when flute solo began? PRICELESS.......
Cross eyed Mary is a banger!
That was literally playing when this notification came up. I've got the aqualung album playing on spotify now as I work. Classic track for sure
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” 🤘🏼
I could watch you guys all day. I love the look on your faces, how you get into the music and that is what it is all about. Rock on dudes! ;)
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!
Check out "The Teacher" from an earlier Jethro Tull album. And yes, more killer flute!
Dudes, let me tell you if you liked this studio version, you would have been driven crazy by their live performances back in the '70's (and yes, I know because I was there). What an awesome live act and as for Ian Anderson what can I say, he was the absolute nuts. Had the whole audience in his pocket. A real icon of rock way back then and the greatest rock flautist of all time. No question.
saw them at the spectrum. blew me away
I saw Jetro Tull around 74 and still one of the most unforgettable concerts I have seen. Right there with the Dead for live shows.
Jeff Stevens Minneapolis 1975 ....and several shows since then. The band of my youth!
@@patrickgranahan9450 I saw them there on Halloween Night 1972.
Saw them in '74 or '75 in a 5,000 seat auditorium, Anderson did a 20 minute flute solo during Locomotive Breath, was one of the best shows I've seen
Ian Anderson's playing flute and singing. Almost everything he's ever touched is a cut above. Word to the wise
I had center stage about row 10 back when these guys were at their peak, you couldn't take your eyes off of the stage for a second or you'd miss something, such a fantastic show, then 30 years later saw them in an acoustically perfect venue in Houston with Anne Marie Calhoun who opened the show and then did the entier Tull concert with the band, can't decide which show was more spectacular , this was one of the most amazing live bands ever.
Classic reaction from both of you when it kicks in, AWESOME
Cross-Eyed Mary next! Trust me. 🙂
What I love about these reactions most, is you guys closing your eyes and feeling it.
From an old Boomer, I really enjoy watching your reaction to the music of my generation. May I suggest you try “Strange Brew” by Cream. You’ll hear one of the greatest drummers in rock and roll history. The now deceased Ginger Baker.
Have to listen to the whole album. Still loving it all these years later. That and Floyd's Meddle.
Locomotive Breath is what Tull fans call "the anthem."
So glad that you young guys enjoy the music that I grew up with. Have been a Tull fan since 1968 ( I'm old haa) and to me they stand alone and unique with that unmistakable rock flute sound. Me and a mate hitchiked the UK in the early 70s sleeping rough to see the band and on one occasion had the good fortune of meeting the main man Ian Anderson who kindly allowed us to observe a sound check one cold afternoon in Manchester. Great memories.
