The video is from the 1926 Buster Keaton film "The General." It's the first film made about what came to be known as the great railroad chase during the American Civil War. It was filmed on a logging railroad west of Portland Oregon. I great up in the area and remember some of the bridges and trestles, which are no longer there. It's a good film by modern standards.
The railroad scenes were filmed in Cottage Grove, OR, which is 30 minutes south of Eugene and over 2.25 hours away from Portland. We first get a glimpse of Cottage Grove with the 1923 film Our Hospitality. In that film, the trek in the 1820's era railroad was also filmed in Cottage Grove. Cottage Grove still celebrates the creek where the train bridge collapse is filmed in The General.
Buster was probably the greatest stunt man in motion pictures until today. Some of stunts were absolutely death-defying and wouldn't be considered today, even with modern safety equipment of which he, of course, had none.
Classic song, the piano/guitar intro and stereo imaging in the mix are stunning !!! And a brilliant film to match. . . I love the breath gasp at 3:16 during Ian's flute solo. . .

I can't even say if it is top 20. Over the decades, so many incredible songs (including this one) where written that I wouldn't even wanna make a top 100 list. From AC/DC to ZZ Top I'm not even sure if I could make a Top 20 band ranking.
An extraordinary video. The song is by itself brilliant and pairing with such a mad vid is simply classic. It exemplifies Ian’s insane creativity. Just a riveting video. Hats off to the guy who put this together. Just extraordinary creativity.
Jethro and Keaton were both geniuses... was privileged to see tull at the u of iowa in 1975. tickets were like 8 bucks and you could bring anything in ... even a beer keg
I think the film is from the 1926 silent movie with Buster Keaton called "The General". It was inspired by another movie, The Great Locomotive Chase which was based on a true event that occurried during the American Civil War.
It is also about fatalism and doom...Old Charlie refers to God. He is behind the wheel in a world full of turmoil and despair, the every average Joe is doomed and will meet his fate in the end.
~Beautiful! Hope, you aren't making my favourite songs into art just to seduce us all, are you? You just reached across a hundred years to match the frantic pace here - then as far into the future as relaxed perfection there with a Steve Miller vid. *you are precious~
I'm not sure if Ian Anderson had Buster Keaton in mind when he wrote this song, but I first saw THE GENERAL around the same time as I first heard Locomotive Breath, so it works very well for me.
Buios diad..He visto en TH-cam ESTA CANCOIN..Y ENSEGUIDA ME HE SUSCRITO -PERO CON PREUCAPACION QUE NO HAY COMENTARIO EN CATALAN O CASTELLANO ..YO VI EN DIRECTO A IAN EL PALACIO DE LA MUSICA DE CATALUNYA ..EN DIRECTO SON UNA PASADA--GRACIAS PIR SUBIR ESTE VIDEO MUSICAL Y ALEGRARME EL DIA
It looks like Johnny Depp. I like this movie I watched it when it first came out of a couple of times. A long long time ago. It's a great silent film. Charlie Chaplin's the kid is another one.
I haven't heard Locomotive Breath in decades, my favorite Jethro Tull song! Long live rock and roll!!
Me too 👍😎🇫🇷

Thank you 4 the explanation.

Yes I Know-how
Special effects and sight gags were very impressive in silent movies a century ago. Buster Keaton's my favorite of that era.
A classic from Ian and company, the great Jethro Tull. What a great damn classic rock and roll song.
Guitar work is ugh. How do you describe without feeling you left out the other instruments. Amazing song
This might be the Greatest Rock Song of All-Time by one of the Greatest Bands of All-Time. Ian Anderson Rocks the Flute like No Other!!!!!
Had to watch this video, not for the music, love the live version, but for the video itself. Great pairing of the two.
Who ever made this video, you are a genius. I salute you.
agree wholeheartedly
Classic song, the piano/guitar intro and stereo imaging in the mix are stunning !!! And a brilliant film to match. . . I love the breath gasp at 3:16 during Ian's flute solo. . .
Great job pairing that great movie classic with one of the great songs of the decade. 1920 meets 1970 🎉😎🧓
That song is a classic. Jethro did it!
Dai Jethro Tull a Guccini la locomotiva è un simbolo forte..thank you for the video..
Song never gets old.
Tengo el cd de Aqualung y he estado escuchando en mi auto éstos días, ésta Súper Rola de Jethro Tull...!!!

You will😂
Saw! J. T. In Concert and Play This Song Around 1971 At Cobo Hall In Detroit Mi.Real Good Concert.I Think Savoy Brown Opened For Them.Good Ole! Days.
L'ebbrezza di questo Incedere della Locomotiva .....DA BRIVIDI
One of the best Rock & Roll songs Rock On ❤
You say it...
One of the best rock songs written. Well, top 20 anyway.
I can't even say if it is top 20. Over the decades, so many incredible songs (including this one) where written that I wouldn't even wanna make a top 100 list. From AC/DC to ZZ Top I'm not even sure if I could make a Top 20 band ranking.
Rather Top 5
Jethro tull just slow down
Did you knw it is about Darwinian, Charlie, evolution?
A great song. And I can relate as it involves my mother, father, and his "best friend."
An extraordinary video. The song is by itself brilliant and pairing with such a mad vid is simply classic. It exemplifies Ian’s insane creativity. Just a riveting video. Hats off to the guy who put this together. Just extraordinary creativity.
This is really amazing. The way the music syncs with film. It's like Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon.
Never saw this video associated with the song. Right on Buster!
What an awesome song 🎶 the story line is amazing and then this video 🪨 rocks 😅😊😮❤❤❤🎉 that flute is incredible too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While in high school this is one of my favorite tunes..............
I love the piano at the beginning,very elegant sounding.John Guinto
Thank you longisland railroad Jamaica Queens for your services above & beyond us commuters say thank you
Jethro Tull is underrated
Absolutely awesome 😎. Love Jethro Tull🥰
Jethro and Keaton were both geniuses... was privileged to see tull at the u of iowa in 1975. tickets were like 8 bucks and you could bring anything in ... even a beer keg
Indeed, Jethro perfected the horse-drawn seed drill in 1701. I like the band too.
Buster Keaton and Jethro Tull, wow!
I can remember Dad sitn at the table drinking a cold Bud jammin to this! Fckn great tune right here!!!!
Incredible. One of my top 10 ever.
This is some of their best work,great song!.John Guinto
Buster Keaton......Charlie Chaplin.......lorsque j'étais enfant, me faisaient RIRE mais aussi PLEURER parfois........merci pour cette vidéo SOUVENIRS

🗣 This is my *Favourite* song ... 🎼 J. Tull .
👁👁 Amazing video clip
That is a cool video with a great song. Thanx.

Happy Day with this Song ☮
Love this song and great video too🎶🎶❤️❤️
Thanks so much Tracie!
Tracie Butler oi gatinhas lindas
amazing buster keaton
Jethro Tull hard to beat
Wow that was fun!
This is probably one of the finest expressions of art I've ever seen, but I'm just a pleb what do I know.
A classic !!!!!!
Reminds me of Runaway Train 1985, good job.
I have seen them several times in the 70's the 80's and 90's 🪈😊
One other quick point....Ian Anderson said in an interview that Locomotive Breath is actually about over population.
It is also about fatalism and doom...Old Charlie refers to God. He is behind the wheel in a world full of turmoil and despair, the every average Joe is doomed and will meet his fate in the end.
@@Schizosepsis jumanji anyone?

Buster Keaton was 100 years ahead of his time.
