    Martin Barre, the guitarist also plays flute and also the sax, marimba and mandolin. They are all fantastic musicians.

    As a professional, you really need to flip through half a dozen of his albums and grab a few songs randomly because every one of them is entirely unique, but it brings the same blending of soft voices, quiet instruments and hard rock.
    Every segment is unique to itself and an intro to the next unique section. I don't think I've ever seen an artist do that.
    You should try Minstrel in the Gallery

    The Studio version of this album is on Audiophiles top 10 best production albums all time. 1-song is 45 minutes. A story about a triad of old-time line of kings. Each king has his own theme song. It is a fantastic album to play at volume 11.

      You got me thinking, I wonder if they ever did the full album live? I've never seen such a video. It would be quite an accomplishment to do it in its entirety, but the classic Tull lineup would be up to the task, I'm sure.

      @@rodjohnson2632 Yes, they toured the entire Thick As A Brick after its release but I don't think they've done the entire album since then. You can find recordings of that tour on TH-cam with snips of old 8mm footage pieced together over the audio. But it's out of sequence bits and pieces. I don't think anyone has ever posted a film of the entire show in continuity.

      Hey, they did the whole album live in Iceland in 2014.
      Too bad Ian's voice wasn't that great at the time.
      But he's still amazing, and the flute parts are absolutely fantastic, as always.

    I grew up on Long Island NY and was lucky to see a lot of the old classic rock shows. I lived 45 mins from the veterans Memorial Coliseum and at the time..a very inexpensive train ride into NYC where Madison Square Garden is right upstairs from Penn station. the shows I saw there are some of the best memories of my life for sure..most of them cost $12.50 no bull! lol I'm not joking.. I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull in the garden in 79 and in the Colosseum in 80 something.. Jethro Tull by far put on great live shows even with the technical sounding albums they had with all the mixing they pulled it off every time. And probably still do.
    Some biggest memories of my concerts on Long Island is Pink Floyd , all the great Southern rock bands you can think of .. also Judas Priest iron maiden blue oyster cult Sabbath.. growing up on Long Island was awesome one week we could go see Marshall Tucker and the week after we would go see iron maiden lol thanks for sharing man

    There was real diversity from band to band from the mid-60s to mid-70s was a time where these people that came to be true rock stars, would sit in with other great musicians for a time and then move on to other bands or staying but it was an amazing time of creativity and a purpose of peace and tolerance.

    I love the parallels one can draw between Jethro Tull and Rush. In this case, Ian Anderson was annoyed that critics called their previous album, Aqualung, a collection of unrelated songs. Like Rush when writing 2112, Anderson decided not to listen to critics, but instead to create the ultimate concept album and went home to write Thick As a Brick. The album contained only one song, with a break to flip the disk. Yes, believe it or not, this live version was less than half the length of the album version, which was just shoer of 44 minutes! It's an amazing adventure created as a reaction to the direction the band took; it's a middle finger to the critics and an insistence by the band to be who they were and not what others felt they should be.

    Saw them in '74, excellent show! Ian Anderson does play guitar but when he realized that he would never be able to play like Clapton, he switched to flute. I think that he lives another life as a minstrel in the middle ages

    Another totally unique English band that came out in the 1970's. Jethro Tull were fronted by Ian Anderson who basically wrote all the songs, of which there were many, and gave us wild flute in rock music, unheard of before. The guitarist Martin Barre stayed with the band for over 30 years and gave a great distinctive counterpoint to Ian. Try "My God" live from the Isle of Wight for another blow your socks off performance. Just legendary..

    Before you leave Jethro Tull, don't overlook the songs "Minstrel in the gallery" and "Songs from the wood". Both includes obvious influences from (English) musical tradition backwards through the centuries (and please note influences you can find!). (This one was more of a parody of contemporary progressive concept music).

    This my favorite video I have found w/Jethro Tull doing Thick as a Brick, mostly because of how he performed it. That said, his music at that time, Aqualung, etc. is not my favorite. Stuff from albums like From Heavy Horses, Chrest of a Knave, Songs from The Wood, Broadsword and the Beast(Broadsword is very cool in it's own way) much better. I like them because they are crisper, "cleaner", not as much pure harder rock. Lots of songs with a social message or a story.... Songs from the Wood is One of a Kind... Lots of flute, so many good songs.... Heavy Horses, is the The Title Crack, is about how the Noble big heavy horses served us for centuries but technology w/tractors, cars, etc. made them no longer needed. Then at the end, the Heavy Horses triumph. They faded away, but them comes a day when they are needed again and will reclaim their Glory. Farm on the Freeway, the Famer loves his farming, the force him to sell to make room for a freeway. Offer him big money, but he doesn't care at all about money, it is about a life and lifestyle is gone. I think Crest of a Knave is my favorite. Budapest, Raising Steam, She Said She was a Dancer, On and On... That album is very technical musically, super crisp, clean, the songs tell wonderful stories that are easy to understand...

    Live is not the optimum way to first experience any given song. Check the studio versiomn first. Then it's easier to absorb how a band transferred it to a live format. And- you already know how the song was originally presented. :-) T
