Jethro Tull were so unique and great. Intelligent, literate, folky, heavy, hard-rocking, prolific, progressive, proto-metal, rampant and ramshackle, feral and atavistic, wild and unpredictable----so much to the tapestry of their various music. They are also in the very rarified air and pantheon of about 10 to 25 or 30 of the true all-time heavyweights of classic rock bands and musical acts. When you get to this level you are immortalized and recognized as one of the best classic rock groups of all time, but you also become your own brand for your uniqueness, style, and sound. One of the all-time great rock groups.
I am almost sick with sentimentality after watching this. I have loved this band since Benefit and saw them in '71 and '77. Glenn Cornick kissing mom goodbye. Ian's parents proudly displaying their scrapbooks in their living room. Wow. This is a treasure for Tull fans.
I really liked that scene with Glenn Cornick's mum, and she says bye to Ian in the back of the car. The smile on her face is so so proud of him. She is absolutely beaming.
Wow, that is amazing!!! Jethro Tull has been one of my favorite rock bands for a very long time since the late 70s early 80s. That is how long I’ve been into them.
I remember having a pint with Glenn Cornick in the original Cavern Club , early 1970s. After The Beatles had left the scene there was a bar ( with alcohol!) in the club. From memory , he still had that headband on. He was with his new band Wild Turkey. Great bassist!
Somos de la misma generación yo tengo casi todos los cd de Jethro desde el this was hasta algunos q hizo ya son alineación fija ya ves q ahora cuando edita un disco contrata músicos y graba y no deja de ser espectacular saludos amigo yo tengo 71 😉👌🏻
I first saw Jethro Tull in 1971 at Madison Square Garden, then again in 1972 at MSG, 1973 at MSG, 1975 at MSG, 1977 at MSG, 1979 at MSG and 1980 at MSG so, as you can see, I loved seeing Jethro Tull in concert and I definitely saw them at their peak💯% Loved the way Ian Anderson played his flute standing on one leg💯%
También yo literal estoy viviendo en el pasado y también es mi banda favorita aunque he de decir que los que crecimos escuchando a jhetro tull escuchamos muchas más bandas actualmente cuento con 7 décadas de vida y sigo escuchando esta música q escuchamos de adolescentes y no la cambio por ninguna otra saludos amigo y a todos los de nuestra generación 🙏🙏🙏
This is really incredible. I first saw the band a year after (1970) and, 40 concerts later, just a few months ago. Never saw footage of his folks. James looks a bit like Ian does now! Favorite band ever.
I just last night listened to the entire Benefit album, and tonight I find this gem, and I quickly remembered why Jethro Tull was my go-to band. They take up almost a whole shelf in my CD rack, and I search out all things Tull on TH-cam. Many thanks to this video poster.
BENEFIT ❤ . DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN , LOVE IT JUST SAW THIS FOOTAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME .NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE. MAKES ME WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME SO BADLY. ONLY IN MY DREAMS. THATS ALL I HAVE .SUCKIN UP THE FOOTAGE LIKE A SPONGE FOR ALL ETERNITY. OR UN TULL THE END .❤❤❤❤.
I'm a 41 year old cook with a great many responsibilities, and I've thought about Tull at least once a day since I was 10. This band just speaks loudly in my ears. Frrkn cool film.
Aqualung, Thick As Brick, Benefit, Songs From The Wood . . . . I love them all. I’m so grateful that I came of age listening to Jethro Tull. I lost my virginity to Locomotive Breath.
Love how Glenn kisses his mom goodbye before going off to a performance. These performers for as talented as they were were still were young enough to have parents alive, and just shows how much family was cherished back in those days.
Amazing to see so many fans! I have never seen this footage before. Thanks to the people who captured these moments so others will know how truly awesome Jetro Tull was.
Nice, saw Tull 6 times including 4 times in the 70s, they were huge and this is a great look at early Jethro Tull. What a vintage performance! Awesome to see in 2024. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎻🎶🔥
In 1969, Tull had not yet reached their peak. Without a keyboardist, there would've been no Aqualung, no Thick as a Brick, and hence no global fame. Tull would be a largely forgotten 60s afterthought today. Obviously I love this early lineup, but let's be real shall we?
Mick Abrahams, John Evan, Peter John Vitesse, Eddie Jobson, Andrew Giddings, Dave Pegg, Barrie Barlow, John Glascock, Gerry Conway, Doan Perry, Martin Allcock, Dave Mattacks and a bunch of other great former Tull members and musicians will disagree with you for sure.
I bought This Was in 1970. Still listening to the vinyl 54 years later probably at least once every month. Never tire of it, always sounds fresh. Their best guitarist was on this one, one time only.
I’ve been a Tull fan since 1969. I never saw this wonderful documentary/concert film. Thank you for posting. Musically, I tend to “Live in the Past” as well.
At a concert in Budapest in 1989, Ian was able to stand on one leg, play the flute, sing, whistle and drink beer all at the same time, at least it seemed to me.
Im having such a hard time understanding how so much talent just popped out of the blue during the late 60s and mid 70s... there is no comparison to the talent and music that has been released in the last 20 years... its like the birth of a beautiful flower withering away to the elements of life and the final outcome is its death
Ian cracks me up how he talks and plays at the same time 😂 i love it what an act,i was born in 77 but got to here lots of good rock music because of my older brothers and Jethro was one of them rock on ,❤from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great band. Never lucky enough to see this line-up but I've seen several others. And lucky me, Martin Barres band has come thru here several times. Great singer /guitarist that handles the Tull stuff wonderfully
Jethro Tull. It was, it is, it will forevever be with us. Expression is the word and Ian goes upfront. What a performers they were! Still moved after so many years. Thnx for uploading. This is how I want to live my life. Enoying it, doing my thing, making people happy.
Tolle Doku! Vielen Dank! Unvergessen, unwiederbringlich, die Zeit, als Rockmusik sich zur stärksten Macht auf der Welt entwickelte. Positiv oder negativ muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Für mich gab es von da an nichts mehr Wichtigeres, Weltraumfahrt und Fußball deutlich abgeschlagen dahinter.......
In January 1969 I was to a concert in Copenhagen with Jimi Hendrix. The support band was Jethro Tull, whom I had no idea was. What did we talk about the next days? Jethro Tull and the mad man on the flute. Jimi was good to 😏
😂 that's awesome such the opposite of the time Jimi opening for the Monkees and those crazy kids in the audience were booing him, it is freaking Jimi Hendrix man, what's wrong with ya'll?!
Thank you so much for this upload! JT are so deeply engraved in my musical genes it´s not even funny. My first encounter with them in my teens around the early 70s was "Living In The Past" and then short after "A Passion Play" and they still are an essential part of my life today. It´s like a sort of soul home where I can charge my batteries even when things get dire... that first iteration of the band was gold!!! Und danke an den WDR!!!
GOD THEY WERE AWESOME! Tull was one of the very few bands who were actually better live than on record. I've always thought that Ian Anderson was an alien. I mean, no human can possess that much talent and charisma, right?
Very impressed with this "Cinema Verite" documentary on Tull. I especially love how proud Ian Anderson's parents are of him, and all the incredible hard work he put into Jethro Tull! I have seen some of the best Prog Bands in their prime: ELP, Yes. Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson and PFM....but sadly, never got the chance to see Tull live. Thank's for the Time Machine! Jethro Tull were such extraordinary musicians at this time, all the way to "Minstrel in the Gallery!
Jethro Tull ....a melhor de todos os tempos!!! Ian Anderson...gênio...talento absurdo.....Vi 3 vezes...que felicidade poder ter assistido essa banda maravilhosa !!!
They opened for Led Zep in Anaheim in '69. My friends and I had never heard any Jethro Tull tunes but we were instant fans. We smoked weed smuggled from Vietnam and Ian Anderson and the band blew our minds. They were actually on par with Led Zep in terms of tripping us out.
I win tickets from a radio station for Emerson Lake and Palmer and we didn't think there was an opening band. We got there and they announced Jethro Tuhl was opening! Our minds were blown!
Curse the fates that gave us super-high fidelity recording equipment far to late to capture these treasures in the best possible form. Now we have incredible recording capability in video and audio but nothing of this caliber to record anymore. Life can be cruel.
Great old footage. Good to see Martin Barre playing the flute!! IA so full of energy. Intriguing to think that in a few months they would add keyboards to the mix. (John Evan) on possibly their best album of all, Benefit!!
This something about rocking this hard with an immovable audience... and a flute. IA and this whole crew just went for it. I have the "Stand Up" album with the pop-out - one of my cherished items. Nothing like Tull, man. It's like our link back to something from Tolkien. Gratitude.
This lineup was the best. Anderson fired Cornick and Bunker because he wanted more technically proficient musicians for the complicated prog music he was writing. But he gave up the ability of the band to swing and rock out.
Absolutely right. Glenn Cornick was by far the best and most intuitive and creative Bass player that Tull ever had! 🎉 and Clive swung like mad, whereas later drummers seemed to feel the urge to make their presence felt- if needed or not😅. However we should acknowledge the positive and constructive vibes of Dee Dee and Evans in later formations😊. Stand up remains my favourite Tull LP, closely followed by Benefit,Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses❤
This is the thread I'm replying to. This was absolutely my favorite lineup of Tull, plus I also really liked John Evan. I absolutely loved Glenn and Clive, and was sorry to see them go. And the thing that really broke my heart was watching Ian and Martin go on separate ways... never going to understand that. For as big a fan of Tull as I have been, ever since 68, regrettably I have never seen the band live. This video really moved me.
Oh yeah, this is the original lineup for Tull playing the stuff off of the debut album. Same show I would have seen at Fillmore East inNYC. Love Glen Cornick's mum telling him to "behave" What the poor woman does'nt know won't hurt her.
I was 8/9 years old at the time of this show and I can still remember seeing bands on the tv of the era.Heep,Purple,Free,Focus,etc but I never saw much JT including this one.Lovely surprise.
Ian Anderson is a force of nature! He goes out there with just a Flute and his songs and entertains a big crowd for a hour. If you think that’s easy you try it. Unless you have talent you’d get booed off the stage! He gets encores!
Jethro Tull and Anderson are the door opener for prog nerds to all these underestimated unknown and forgotten bands that sank within short time without leaving a trace!
Ich werde in fünf monaten 63. So eine superdoku habe ich noch nie gesehen. Wdr sei dank. Man sieht das erste mal seine entzückenden Eltern. Sie waren so offen für den rockgeschmack ihres sohnes. Genial war auch seine queerflöte, die er im rock einsetzte, weil auch meine schwester queerflöte gelernt hat. Ich versuchte es auch mal,aber queerflöte ist sehr komplex. Auf wiedersehen you tube.
Tull were an innovative and most influential band that fused blues folk and rock to make their own unique sound. Often overlooked but IMO one of the most important progressive rock bands.
Uno de los picos más altos en la carrera de Jethro Tull, poco después de sus comienzos. Una energía, fuerza y vitalidad arrolladora ( Ian Anderson contaba apenas con unos 22 años de edad en ésa época ) Particularmente, los conocí por primera vez cuando tendría unos 11 o 12 años de edad, y me volaron la cabeza... Muchas gracias por compartir éste valioso material, saludos desde Bs As, Argentina
Side note Camera man at this documentation: Jan de Bont. He later worked with film director Paul Verhoeven, most famous on "Basic Instinct", before directing himself movies like "Speed".
The raw energy is compelling! Lots of fabulous improvisations to pad out the material. Definitely worth buying the ‘Stand Up’ box set to hear them live in Sweden 01/69.
Geil! Eigentlich wollte ich nur die verläßlich gute Musik vom Rockpalast nebenbei laufen lassen, und dann kommen Lacher, die ich noch nie irgendwo gesehen habe: 1. Der Roadmanager, kurze Haare, dunkler Anzug, Krawatte, holt die langhaarigen Musiker im dicken Schlitten von zu Hause ab, einer bekommt von Mutti noch ein Küßchen mit Ermahnung, sich anständig zu benehmen, und Vati steht in dunklem Anzug mit Krawatte daneben und sieht stolz auf Sohnemann aus. 2. Der Roadmanager singt im Auto ein lustiges Lied und möchte, daß alle, auch ein Ian Anderson(!), mitsingen. 3. Polizisten beschäftigen sich lange mit dem Schlitten und er bekommt ein Knöllchen. Das Knöllchen wird anschließend von Ian verbrannt. 4. Die wie Waldschrate aussehenden Musiker spielen vor einem bieder angezogenen, jungen Publikum, das meist sitzt und zum Schluß sehr laut klatscht und stampft, nur ein Drittel steht dazu auf. Soweit zur Weltrevolution per Rock 'n' Roll... 5. Ian Anderson liegt im Bett, wünscht Gute Nacht, knipst das Licht aus und schläft selig ein. Ende Nein, das hatte ich alles nicht erwartet! Grandios!
I saw them at Devonshire Downs and sat in the front row at the Forum and went back stage after the show and drank champagne with them. Martin was the the nicest guy you could meet and so was Barrymore .
THANK YOU! This is the classic lineup that I used to see bring down the house at the Fillmore East. I saw them on their first U.S. tour and they were just the opening group!
70's to me, the best in music and J.T. has been the one that I still enjoy the most. Lucky to see them a few times, mostly in the early 80's. Thanks Ian & Company, from El Salvador.
@@marcomiola9731 Marco,attualmente sono ottimi musicisti ( l'unico rimasto di allora e' il leader Anderson), ma la resa live e la musica di allora erano tutt'altra magia !!. Una gravissima lacuna della discografia mondiale e' la mancanza di un live ufficiale del biennio d'oro 1972-1973. Bisogna accontentarsi dei bootleg,assurdo!
They actually were already a success band by then; they were playing at Royal Albert Hall in this very video, no unsuccessful band used to play there. You can even listen Jethro Tull songs playing in between the presentations on Woodstock film.
The first time I heard Jethro Tull was I was 14 years old in Junior high school in 1971. I never saw him on T.V. He reminds me of Einstein here. The song was Living in the past. One of my classmates had his 45 record. Thanks for the video. I just happened upon this. I didn't even know he was British. Very talented.

This made me happy. Ian's parents' pride in him is lovely to behold.

Wow!! 1969. Ian’s energy was the absolute centerpiece of this band. And, an excellent flautist as well, one of the greatest!
He had only been playing the flute for about a year when this film was made, according to his Wikipedia bio.

Give a crackhead a flute and he thinks it's a rock and roll instrument.
Oh man, I'm 72 now, but I would die for rock 'n roll. Today I also like stoner rock.
He's 76 now

He was smokin🔥😅
YES😊😊
When you see this again, probably the best ever. Clever, clever man! No wonder the USA loved them.

Как я вам завидую. Слушаю Jethro Tull больше 40лет, а вот видеть... Из России с любовью 🔥❤
Nassau Coliseum 79 ny
Montreal 1979.
caught them on their 1969. u.s tour, opened for the GD in pasadena
Hollywood Bowl Thick as a Brick Tour.
My absolute favourite band, the truth is that there is no decent music around now so I am definitely living in the past.
Not alone friend!
También yo literal estoy viviendo en el pasado y también es mi banda favorita aunque he de decir que los que crecimos escuchando a jhetro tull escuchamos muchas más bandas actualmente cuento con 7 décadas de vida y sigo escuchando esta música q escuchamos de adolescentes y no la cambio por ninguna otra saludos amigo y a todos los de nuestra generación 🙏🙏🙏
There are actually good new bands out there for sure man. You just need to look at the right places. Just try to look at it positively. Cheers 😊
Check out the band Blood Ceremony. They're like a heavier Tull with a female vocalist. Tremendous band. If you love Jethro Tull ...
You need to get out more. There’s plenty of decent and amazing bands out there
This is really incredible. I first saw the band a year after (1970) and, 40 concerts later, just a few months ago. Never saw footage of his folks. James looks a bit like Ian does now! Favorite band ever.
Ian Anderson is a musical and lyrical genius and Jethro till one of the greatest rock band s ever. No one comes close
I always considered Ian in the same league as Frank Zappa..both alpha genius
@@cristianmolina8148 I agree. Frank was a genius too and so prolific
And basically a self taught musician. A natural performer.
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull was THE GREATEST ROCK PERFORMER OF ALL TIME!!!!
I'm 66 in a few days but allways will love my❤my progressive rock and heavy metal and 70s and 60s 🎉
I used to only listen to the music. Now I can see the band too. And that's much more impressive than just listening to the music.
My #1 band ever! I saw them in concert in 1980. Brilliant! ❤

And hits everything that isn't nailed down!
And Glen Cornick on Bass!
@@ericmendelman3411 What a powerful gang that early JT unit was. Like a tight garage band! I wished that version had stayed together
However, I remember him playing a 30=minute drum solo, which was incredibly BORING, back in 1970. Art Blakey he wasn't/
That guy was a beast. Overlooked drummer.
Ian cracks me up how he talks and plays at the same time 😂 i love it what an act,i was born in 77 but got to here lots of good rock music because of my older brothers and Jethro was one of them rock on ,❤from Ireland 🇮🇪

Quando o Jethro veio no Rio de Janeiro, fui em todas as apresentações.
Exelente.
I've always loved Jethro Tull but never saw an early performance. They're really worth all the love. And have for a reason. They're Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hope you make it all the way through till the final curtain.
Hadn't realized they were going on while the Beatles were still together seen them many times their old music is the best
Tull, ELP, Yes, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Genesis...after seeing concerts by the likes of them, the rest is just noise. Man, was I ever fortunate.

Music was the number one thing that brought us together back then...so many live shows and the amount of original talent was endless.
Music was our "social media" back then, truly.
Things have been hard of late, but this video fills me with such happiness, as I watch it after a dispiriting day. Thank you for posting!
This something about rocking this hard with an immovable audience... and a flute. IA and this whole crew just went for it. I have the "Stand Up" album with the pop-out - one of my cherished items. Nothing like Tull, man. It's like our link back to something from Tolkien. Gratitude.
What a lovely surprise! Jethro Tull with Glenn Cornick and Martin Barre! Thanks for sharing❤
And the incomparable Clive Bunker!
@@bburroughs You're right!
This lineup was the best. Anderson fired Cornick and Bunker because he wanted more technically proficient musicians for the complicated prog music he was writing. But he gave up the ability of the band to swing and rock out.
Absolutely right. Glenn Cornick was by far the best and most intuitive and creative Bass player that Tull ever had! 🎉 and Clive swung like mad, whereas later drummers seemed to feel the urge to make their presence felt- if needed or not😅.
However we should acknowledge the positive and constructive vibes of Dee Dee and Evans in later formations😊.
Stand up remains my favourite Tull LP, closely followed by Benefit,Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses❤
This is the thread I'm replying to. This was absolutely my favorite lineup of Tull, plus I also really liked John Evan. I absolutely loved Glenn and Clive, and was sorry to see them go. And the thing that really broke my heart was watching Ian and Martin go on separate ways... never going to understand that.
For as big a fan of Tull as I have been, ever since 68, regrettably I have never seen the band live. This video really moved me.
Never forget when he came on stage with the wildman hair and long cape/ coat!! Awesome!!
Oh yeah, this is the original lineup for Tull playing the stuff off of the debut album. Same show I would have seen at Fillmore East inNYC. Love Glen Cornick's mum telling him to "behave" What the poor woman does'nt know won't hurt her.
I always thought their first album ‘This Was’ had Mick Abraham’s on guitar 🎸 as original lineup
Jethro Tull were always outstanding ! Great upload Thank you!
I was 8/9 years old at the time of this show and I can still remember seeing bands on the tv of the era.Heep,Purple,Free,Focus,etc but I never saw much JT including this one.Lovely surprise.
Ian Anderson is a force of nature! He goes out there with just a Flute and his songs and entertains a big crowd for a hour. If you think that’s easy you try it. Unless you have talent you’d get booed off the stage! He gets encores!
Outstanding! I didn't know this existed. Thanks so much
Love the proud parents!
For me too one of my fav bands....cheers from Lisbon 🇵🇹
Jethro Tull and Anderson are the door opener for prog nerds to all these underestimated unknown and forgotten bands that sank within short time without leaving a trace!
Bravo!!!! They were so talented!!
I wish more musicians played the flute today......
Listen to the German Band Wucan. It's also on this Channel.
Amazing footage. Thx WDR Rockpalast.
great showmanship +great musicianship in one band‼️
Stand Up… Still my favorite Jethro Tull album
Me too!
Me too also as well.
I always love those old Tull albums 🟤
Ich werde in fünf monaten 63. So eine superdoku habe ich noch nie gesehen. Wdr sei dank. Man sieht das erste mal seine entzückenden Eltern. Sie waren so offen für den rockgeschmack ihres sohnes. Genial war auch seine queerflöte, die er im rock einsetzte, weil auch meine schwester queerflöte gelernt hat. Ich versuchte es auch mal,aber queerflöte ist sehr komplex. Auf wiedersehen you tube.
First 3 albums my favorite,these guys were great
Tull were an innovative and most influential band that fused blues folk and rock to make their own unique sound. Often overlooked but IMO one of the most important progressive rock bands.
They’re such a good prog band, that when Ian wanted to take a bit of the piss out of prog, they ended up creating one of the goat prog albums.
Completely agree with you
Согласен, одна из сильнейших и главных групп прогрессива (арт рока).
Uno de los picos más altos en la carrera de Jethro Tull, poco después de sus comienzos. Una energía, fuerza y vitalidad arrolladora ( Ian Anderson contaba apenas con unos 22 años de edad en ésa época )
Particularmente, los conocí por primera vez cuando tendría unos 11 o 12 años de edad, y me volaron la cabeza...
Muchas gracias por compartir éste valioso material, saludos desde Bs As, Argentina
Side note
Camera man at this documentation: Jan de Bont. He later worked with film director Paul Verhoeven, most famous on "Basic Instinct", before directing himself movies like "Speed".
OUTRAGEOUS DISPLAY OF ENERGY BY MASTER ANDERSON!
The best documentary I've seen about them.
Tull is AWESOME. I've seen them like 21 times in my life. They NEVER disappoint.
Wow what a great piece of rock history
We will never see bands like this anymore so let's enjoy this moments of brilliance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻...!
The raw energy is compelling! Lots of fabulous improvisations to pad out the material. Definitely worth buying the ‘Stand Up’ box set to hear them live in Sweden 01/69.
Ian Anderson the undisputed master of all things musical. So consistent until today. Fabulous sounds 👌
Yeah, the smoking couldn't have been good for his voice or his lung capacity though.
Geil! Eigentlich wollte ich nur die verläßlich gute Musik vom Rockpalast nebenbei laufen lassen, und dann kommen Lacher, die ich noch nie irgendwo gesehen habe:
1. Der Roadmanager, kurze Haare, dunkler Anzug, Krawatte, holt die langhaarigen Musiker im dicken Schlitten von zu Hause ab, einer bekommt von Mutti noch ein Küßchen mit Ermahnung, sich anständig zu benehmen, und Vati steht in dunklem Anzug mit Krawatte daneben und sieht stolz auf Sohnemann aus.
2. Der Roadmanager singt im Auto ein lustiges Lied und möchte, daß alle, auch ein Ian Anderson(!), mitsingen.
3. Polizisten beschäftigen sich lange mit dem Schlitten und er bekommt ein Knöllchen. Das Knöllchen wird anschließend von Ian verbrannt.
4. Die wie Waldschrate aussehenden Musiker spielen vor einem bieder angezogenen, jungen Publikum, das meist sitzt und zum Schluß sehr laut klatscht und stampft, nur ein Drittel steht dazu auf. Soweit zur Weltrevolution per Rock 'n' Roll...
5. Ian Anderson liegt im Bett, wünscht Gute Nacht, knipst das Licht aus und schläft selig ein. Ende
Nein, das hatte ich alles nicht erwartet! Grandios!
A strong personality. Thanks for all these years of great music!
I saw them at Devonshire Downs and sat in the front row at the Forum and went back stage after the show and drank champagne with them. Martin was the the nicest guy you could meet and so was Barrymore .
THANK YOU! This is the classic lineup that I used to see bring down the house at the Fillmore East. I saw them on their first U.S. tour and they were just the opening group!
70's to me, the best in music and J.T. has been the one that I still enjoy the most. Lucky to see them a few times, mostly in the early 80's. Thanks Ian & Company, from El Salvador.
2:16 - Ian really loving what he is doing is so full of explosive energy.
Ich kenne ihn und er ist einmalig kein anderer hätte so gut spielen können
Nice! Thank You Rockpalast!
Ich bin überzeugt, dass das deutsche fernsehen das beste archiv der welt hat.
My hero. Best rock entertainer musician of all time. Thanks Ian. Youre the best of the best.
GREAT!! LOVE!! Thank You!!
Ho avuto la fortuna di assistere ai loro concerti del 1972 e 1973: strabilianti,unici,ammalianti.Indimenticabili Jethro Tull, nel loro periodo d'oro!
Teatro Brancaccio, Roma, 1971.
Palazzo dello sport strapieno 1972 scavalco di massa
the two tours I would most like to have seen
Ti invidio...io solo dopo il 90. Ma nn era evidentemente la stessa cosa.
@@marcomiola9731 Marco,attualmente sono ottimi musicisti ( l'unico rimasto di allora e' il leader Anderson), ma la resa live e la musica di allora erano tutt'altra magia !!. Una gravissima lacuna della discografia mondiale e' la mancanza di un live ufficiale del biennio d'oro 1972-1973. Bisogna accontentarsi dei bootleg,assurdo!
Que grande es Ian Anderson y Jethro Tull. Banda fabulosa será recordada por siempre.
VIelen Dank WDR Rockpalast! Great post and interesting to see a pre-Aqualung Jethro Tull , hungry for success and all full of energy on stage.
They actually were already a success band by then; they were playing at Royal Albert Hall in this very video, no unsuccessful band used to play there. You can even listen Jethro Tull songs playing in between the presentations on Woodstock film.
I was three years old when this was made ... my lord. Ian and his band are touring all through this year. Fantastic...
The first time I heard Jethro Tull was I was 14 years old in Junior high school in 1971. I never saw him on T.V. He reminds me of Einstein here. The song was Living in the past. One of my classmates had his 45 record. Thanks for the video. I just happened upon this. I didn't even know he was British. Very talented.
Thanks for sharing this Jewel, Ian Anderson is an Allien from other galaxie, a Genius of the Rock music 👍
