...Miss H.! I was there!🎉 Stationed at R. A. F. Mildenhall. I took the train, by myself; it was the tour promoting the album "A". Thank You so much for this. And thanks again for fluting the birthday song for on a Sat. morning a year and a half ago 🎉 🍻
The following was just released today. I would love to see you react to this. There's definitely more flute than some of the songs you've chosen by this artist. Please consider when you have a moment. Thank you. Hunting girl from the songs from The Wood album... th-cam.com/video/Sd_ZHjzxW7I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pJi-PNX5tct70X94
This one of my favorite Jethro Tull songs. My family had a Team of Belgian Draught horses in 1970 in NW Ohio and a team of Clydesdales when lived in Florida in 1972/73. I loved those horses.
I had the honor of being at this show, Royal Albert Hall, London 1980. one of many I have attended all over the world. Ian is my all time favorite artist. He and his artistry have truly aged well. Cheers
Hello Henry I saw Eddie Jobson with a band named UK Terry Bozzio and John wetton might be one of my favorite shows and I've seen a few. I've been lucky to have seen Tull 12 times including the A tour🌿
I think this was the first thing I saw from Jethro Tull, it was probably on TV in the early 80's. They were great on stage this time. Ian had really honed that madman act. Great prog song too.
I saw them on this tour, it was the "A" tour with the violinist Eddie Jobson. "Heavy Horses" was a couple years old by then. I also saw them the year before on the "Stormwatch" tour. This is a pretty song on the album track.
I was in a folk rock myself as a drummer and the thing I love about Tull is it always feels like a medieval madrigal. The 80's was a time when they started experimenting with digital video editing and it all got to the point where they were so busy showing off their video tech that they forgot to just show the performance.
The studio version of this song has no flute in it- only the violin. This song was his tribute to those magnificent very large horses that sustained the agricultural part of life in the last few centuries. The lyrics are just fantastic! All the songs on this album are great and no two alike and I think you will really enjoy it. Another great album from the Master! Hope to see you in a month or two (so you might find the time to listen to HH) for your review of the whole album. God bless!
The live recordings from the A tour are some of Anderson's best live vocal performances. His range and tone were excellent on this tour and there is little of the nasality that his voice started to develop on the Heavy Horses and Stormwatch tours, and certainly had on the later Broadsword tour in 1982.
Hw was crap in Australia. Voice was shot and because he wouldn't have an operation to fix the problem he lost his power. Dave was their to sing along to make him sound ok.
I have heard of Heavy Horses but never listened to the song and certainly not the album. But I enjoyed this tune. I looked it up to get an understanding of what the song and album was about. It was at a time of transition in the rock music industry and Jethro Tull went a different direction than other groups. Instead of conforming to the new styles, JT went to a more home on the farm life style. I definitely am going to explore more of this album. It really sounds intriguing to me.
If this is the only time you’ve heard the song, please do yourself a favor and listen to the studio version. Almost half the song was cut in this performance, including a lot of great lyrics. The entire album is just fantastic.
You miss the magic of this beautiful song without reading the lyrics. "Bring me a wheel of oaken wood, a rein of polished leather. A heavy horse and a tumbling sky brewing heavy weather" ❤
Heline.....😃 long time no tube. hope your doing well. your face at 1:31 is great lol. I've been taking lessons!! I got put in touch with a great teacher. I feel so grateful and excited!! Also meeting people, trying to find the right people to play with. Im getting my passport soon. I want to go play some flute with Claire in the UK. maybe we can have a 3 person youtube tour lol. Great song choice.
Hi Heline. Since you love flute, hear (end part) of Habanero Reel on The secret language of birds by Ian Anderson. To myself, it is possibly the best flute sound I have ever appreciated.I still battle to get the purity of the high notes. The introducing town is lovely.
Wonderful music indeed. I have followed Tull since their first awakening and still play their music most days. Ian A now grows red hot chilli peppers at his west country farm.
So much more flute on the other songs on the LP please. It's so much to enjoy as well as all the other songs that you haven't heard from songs from the wood. These two albums go together. They were produced for songs from the wood than this one and they had the same kind of feel to them
Musically, this is truly a wonderful Tull classic. However, as you found, this isn't a very substantial song where flute is concerned. Although there are a lot more flute passages in evidence on the studio recording. Even so, it was a pleasure to watch you review the performance. Just a side note: Having been to so many Tull concerts over the years (every tour from 1977 thru 1991), I've seen a lot of interesting details regarding the staging of their shows. One point in particular, when you see Ian jogging off stage, into the back area, there was typically a bench set up behind the drums, where he'd briefly have a seat, bury his face in a towel, and have a few swigs from a bottle of beer.
I have been enjoying your reactions to Ian Anderson's flute playing! I would LOVE to see what you think of "Pan Dance," which is one of my all-time favorite songs. (And no, I do not play flute, but I do play cello!)
Eddie Jobson on keys and violin. You can't miss with a genius like that in the band. You want mind-blowing? Check out U.K. (the first iteration with Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Alan Holdsworth. I saw them live. Possibly the greatest prog concert I ever attended).
This is a bit different than the studio version. There is an actual music video, I believe, of HH. One of my favorite songs on a great album. The studio version has more flute to it. Tull puts on a great show.
Check out this interview (latter half) where Ian discusses the way he plays the flute. He tells the story of how he has changed his style over the years and how his daughter told him he was doing it all wrong! th-cam.com/video/I3t2ggmR36s/w-d-xo.html
You want some great Ian flute then listen to Flying Dutchman from the 1979 Stormwatch album. It’s one of my favorites that I can play on flute and I still need work on it. It’s one of my favorite flute solos and I think you’ll like it. I will be checking your site for your reaction. Love your reaction to Velvet Green
I understand why you like Jethro Tull's music. It is the same reason so many of us are fans of thier unique musiic. May I request a reaction to the Moody Blues. You already cover Knights in White Satin. Jason Haywood stills performs. He has an excellent flute player in his modern group. She is a gorgeous blonde like you are. Look into it please. Are You Sitting Comfortably would be an excellent choice.
Hey Heline, Hi. I always enjoy your reviews of Jethro Tull, am a huge fan of J. Tull and you of course. I recommend you do a review on "Elegy" by J. Tull, it is pure flute, a pretty tune & I would love to hear your review on it. Please do Tag me if you do...lots of love.💖😊
As always it's great to hear your views on the reactions Heline. My personal favourite Jethro Tull albums are "Songs from the Wood" and "Heavy Horses", with the latter just edging the former as my overall preference. Many thanks for sharing.
Those are my top two as well and for the longest time I always said songs from the wood was my favorite. But I actually realized I listened to heavy horses more...
It looks odd seeing Eddie Jobson and Mark Craney featured on stage. The only appeared for the one album and tour. Sadly Mark Craney passed away quite young at 53. Heavy Horses I used to find boring, but now love it.
This is a really under-appreciated line-up for Tull. The 'A' album may not have been as well received as previous albums - a very high bar - but the musicianship and the songwriting was top-notch. Have to give them some credit for trying to explore new styles and sounds at the time. Thank you for the reaction.
Black Sunday, And Further On, Working John Working Joe, - even Crossfire and Flyingdale Flyer, though I always find them a little thin. Of course there's The Pine Marten's Jig, which went into the concert playlist on its own or part of instrumental medleys forever after. And Protect And Survive, with it's deceptively jaunty sound in stark contrast to a spectacularly evocative description of the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. Only a couple songs I have less use for, really - a Kafkaesque song about a boy becoming his new toy and a bland satire about trucks. Oh, forgot Uniforms, an equally bland commentary on the way people dress.
interesting, I was talking to a friend today about the concept of uniforms. There is an anecdote about Zappa telling a crowd who were upset about a member of the military being at his show in their uniform, he said 'nobody fool yourself, everyone in this room is wearing a uniform.' So, I actually like the song Uniforms, as well as 4WD, better than Working John, Working Joe or Flyingdale Flyer. But, I think that is part of what is positive of that line-up and the album, it was sort of a reset in a way of how the band impacted fans, so it's fine we like the album but have diff views on which songs are best. To me that is part of what I admire most about Ian and all the guys that played in Tull, they were hungry to explore and would never have wanted to have there be 'one true Tull' or one way they should sound. So, I definitely think the album is better than people give it credit for, but it is also cool that i think that while also seeing the album completely differently than you do.@@allanwidner9276
Martin Barre should have received far more attention and recognition as one of rock's top tier electric guitar players. Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) knew. Knopfler stated in an interview that he grew up as a huge fan of Martin Barre and modeled his own playing style after Barre's.
Kyllä meidän pitää hattua nostaa Ian Andersonille. Hän on tuottanut meille hyvää pillipiiparimusaa jo seitsemällä vuosikymmenellä. Kamaa on tehty folkista tuplabasariheviin. Kalamiehenä arvostan häntä myös Skotlantilaisena kalankasvattajana. Mutta vieläkään et ole vissiin tutustunut levyyn "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2003)", which is great. ⛄👍
Hi Helline, love your reviews. You really cannot listen to a Tull song in isolation and understand/ appreciate where it is going musically. Somehow, the sequence of arrangements of the songs in an album like Heavy Horses are one "choreography" - one elaborate arrangement that hangs together. You just have to listen to some of his albums from start to finish.
@@cosmicdebris5260 Patty's more modern folk, and Scardust is more blackmetal folk. Interesting combination. Try "Concrete Cages." Patty plays hurdy-gurdy of course.
Have u ever done anything that has to do with the flute in the song land down under by men at work? Probably one of the most iconic flute sections of all time
You are a cutie. Love that a young person like you appreciates Jethro ( or Yetro as you say😊) Tull. I really enjoy watching and listening too you program Mitch Butler. Salisbury, Maryland
This live performance is from the "A" tour 1980. There was a major change in the Tull band line-up at this point. After the sad death of John Glascock (Bass) in 1979, 3 other band members decided it was time to take their leave - John Evan (Piano, Organ), David (now Dee) Palmer (Keyboards, Orchestral Arrangements), & Barriemore Barlow (Drums, Percussion). Only Ian Anderson & Martin Barre remained from what I and many others considered was Tull's strongest, most talented line-up. No offense meant to the other talented artists, but I really, really missed Barriemore Barlow's drums from this point onward. In the early 80's digital video editing was "a fun new thing to experiment with" and the editors "play time" with the tech often interfered with just presenting a concert performance. Never a good thing when you have a performer like Ian Anderson on stage.
Pretty sure he is trying to cope with COPD, read it somewhere, not the best illness for a flautist to have, much like asthma. Hopefully his flute playing can continue for the foreseeable future. He is 77 this coming August.
Yes, that video editing is incredibly irritating, and yes, Ian's gyrations are better appreciated at full speed! I think it was fairly new tech and they were just playing with the effects, although on the whole this seemed a bit unimaginative. You should see some Top of the Pops programmes from the time; they were psychedelic.
People went batshit crazy when Heavy Horses won the Grammy that year for Best Heavy Metal Album. Tull was never heavy metal and never attempted to be. However, the album was Just That Good. The Grammy judges had to reward it somehow. It angered all the actual heavy metal bands; drove musicians out of their minds! Look it up, when you've a few minutes and are ready to be amazed. Perhaps it is fitting that this band would dedicate a song to the farmers' work horses, since they named themselves after the man who invented the seed drill hundreds of years ago - Jethro Tull.
Love Tull and Ian Anderson. Thanks. SUGGESTION: the image of your featured musicain/s should be the larger between you them. We don’t need to be able to count the Hairs on your head, and then squint to see the featured musicians.
Dear Heline, the letter "J" in the name of a group must sounds like in words "just"or "jet", not like "y" in "yet", as you are spelling 😊 Please see the transcription: Jethro Tull [ˈʤeθrəʊ tʌl].

"at last the old hands quicken- bring pick and wisp and curry comb- thrill to the sound of all the heavy horses coming home."
This one of my favorite Jethro Tull songs. My family had a Team of Belgian Draught horses in 1970 in NW Ohio and a team of Clydesdales when lived in Florida in 1972/73. I loved those horses.
There are so many gems on this album. Please consider more
Ian's voice is spot on. This version is as good as the studio cut.
I love that you love my most favorite band in the world. Almost makes us kin.
I cannot but agree, Irish druid, almost makes us kin!👍😉❤️

Hi Heline!🦄 this is from the A tour the keyboard and violin player is a guy named Eddie Jobson he is fabulous! great choice!
Eddie fit the Tull lineup very well.Thanks Eddie.I saw this tour in Cleveland.CLEVELAND ROCKS !!
@@kevindunleavy854... Kevin, swear to God, I was at this very concert! A California guy stationed there, 20 years old 🎉 🍻
That on violin and keyboards is Eddie Jobson, a superstar on his own
Hello Henry I saw Eddie Jobson with a band named UK Terry Bozzio and John wetton might be one of my favorite shows and I've seen a few. I've been lucky to have seen Tull 12 times including the A tour🌿
Ex Roxy Music, Curved Air, and Yes
@@cosmicdebris5260I saw Eddie with U. K. at the Santa Monica Civic! 🎉 🍺🍻
Heavy Hirses is my favorite Tull album. I think you would like the flute on "Moths" and "Weathercock".
It was my first Tull album too. Followed very quickly by Songs from the Wood and Stormwatch!
I think this was the first thing I saw from Jethro Tull, it was probably on TV in the early 80's. They were great on stage this time. Ian had really honed that madman act. Great prog song too.

I think you would enjoy the song Farm on the freeway alot of flute playing!
“Dirty, airy” playing is Ian Anderson’s trademark sound, that, and grunting accents. Unique, engaging, interesting, exquisite.
Thanks Heline! a Jethro Tull song I have not heard before you made my Wednesday!
The studio version of this song has no flute in it- only the violin. This song was his tribute to those magnificent very large horses that sustained the agricultural part of life in the last few centuries. The lyrics are just fantastic!

Heavy horses is a great album, much more flute in the other songs thanks heline!
Editing? It was 1980, of course. You are correct! ✌️
Hope you’re doing well. Always enjoy seeing you.
The "A" tour I was front row (dead center). Such a great night, and so nice to see Eddie Jobson on keys also. Mark Craney a great jazz drummer RIP.
This is my favorite album by this group.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Great song and reaction about creatures that were a major asset in the progress of mankind.
One of my favourit tull songs thank you
seeing JT live in aberdeen scotland this april and they are playing this song so excited, its my fave song

I love your reaction videos. I always learn a lot. You are a amazing flute player/musician ❤❤
You should see "CAMEL Rhayader - Rhayader Goes to Town (Live at Hippodrome, 1977)". Lots of flute. There's actually a flute duet
You miss the magic of this beautiful song without reading the lyrics.
"Bring me a wheel of oaken wood, a rein of polished leather. A heavy horse and a tumbling sky brewing heavy weather" ❤
Definitely my favorite top
THE PINKY! THE PINKY!
Yes, that was a few years ago, but I loved it.
I saw them in August at Wolftrap, what a wonderful concert..........
Hi Helen ,nice to see more of you.

Wonderful music indeed. I have followed Tull since their first awakening and still play their music most days. Ian A now grows red hot chilli peppers at his west country farm.
Has he given up his estate on Skye??
It was part of a video release at the time,which I believe is still available.

Isn Anderson one of the most charismatic front men in a band ever and a self taught flautist to boot
I have been enjoying your reactions to Ian Anderson's flute playing! I would LOVE to see what you think of "Pan Dance," which is one of my all-time favorite songs. (And no, I do not play flute, but I do play cello!)
Hevihevosia! ⛄👍
The violinist/keyboard player is Edwin Jobson, formerly of Roxy Music.
And, before that, of Curved Air.
Listen to the studio cut and you will see what a beautiful song it is..
Eddie Jobson on keys and violin. You can't miss with a genius like that in the band. You want mind-blowing? Check out U.K. (the first iteration with Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Alan Holdsworth. I saw them live. Possibly the greatest prog concert I ever attended).
Hi Heline - Love your reactions and comments. have you heard 'Hokus Pokus' by Focus (long version) Some amazing Flute of that.
This is a bit different than the studio version. There is an actual music video, I believe, of HH. One of my favorite songs on a great album. The studio version has more flute to it. Tull puts on a great show.

Tull always great hey I'm new I would love to rec Geoff castelluchi deep bass cover of ,I see fire , from the Hobbit you will love it please
Ian Anderson used to play standing on one leg but I believe he had to stop that due to a medical condition
This live performance is from the "A" tour 1980. There was a major change in the Tull band line-up at this point. After the sad death of John Glascock (Bass) in 1979, 3 other band members decided it was time to take their leave - John Evan (Piano, Organ), David (now Dee) Palmer (Keyboards, Orchestral Arrangements), & Barriemore Barlow (Drums, Percussion).
Only Ian Anderson & Martin Barre remained from what I and many others considered was Tull's strongest, most talented line-up. No offense meant to the other talented artists, but I really, really missed Barriemore Barlow's drums from this point onward.
In the early 80's digital video editing was "a fun new thing to experiment with" and the editors "play time" with the tech often interfered with just presenting a concert performance. Never a good thing when you have a performer like Ian Anderson on stage.
They didn't "decide to take their leave", it was decided for them - and, yes, all three were a loss, but Barry especially.
Pretty sure he is trying to cope with COPD, read it somewhere, not the best illness for a flautist to have, much like asthma.
Hopefully his flute playing can continue for the foreseeable future. He is 77 this coming August.
Yes, that video editing is incredibly irritating, and yes, Ian's gyrations are better appreciated at full speed!
I think it was fairly new tech and they were just playing with the effects, although on the whole this seemed a bit unimaginative. You should see some Top of the Pops programmes from the time; they were psychedelic.
There is more flute on the original studio version but since Mr Andrson cannot sing and play all of those flute parts at the same time...
Dvorak , Humoresque ...
Hi Heline! You simply must listen to the studio version of MY God. The Isle of White was re-recording and very raw and unfinished , and very inferior!
Me thinks the lady does not understand the influence or the respect of Victorian England on the American Psyche.
Not one of my more favorite Jethro Tull songs...
People went batshit crazy when Heavy Horses won the Grammy that year for Best Heavy Metal Album. Tull was never heavy metal and never attempted to be. However, the album was Just That Good. The Grammy judges had to reward it somehow. It angered all the actual heavy metal bands; drove musicians out of their minds! Look it up, when you've a few minutes and are ready to be amazed. Perhaps it is fitting that this band would dedicate a song to the farmers' work horses, since they named themselves after the man who invented the seed drill hundreds of years ago - Jethro Tull.
Heavy Horses did not win a Grammy. The album was Crest of a Knave, and it was years later.
@@evilpenguinmas You are right.
Did you lose a little bir weight?
Unfortunate that this is the version you landed on. It’s so truncated. Almost half the song is missing, including a good deal of lyric content.
Love this band, love this piece, but 'A' was IMHO their weakest album.
Heavy Horses is from an album of the same name, years earlier, IIRC.
Heavy horses wow, i love Jethro, but after songs from the wood(very poor even him, little good tracks) they don't do anything good.
Love Tull and Ian Anderson. Thanks. SUGGESTION: the image of your featured musicain/s should be the larger between you them. We don’t need to be able to count the Hairs on your head, and then squint to see the featured musicians.
I prefer the opposite of your suggestion. When I care, I link to the video being reviewed separately.
😊👍
Dear Heline, the letter "J" in the name of a group must sounds like in words "just"or "jet", not like "y" in "yet", as you are spelling 😊
Please see the transcription: Jethro Tull [ˈʤeθrəʊ tʌl].
Her loyal audience loves her accent and pronunciation of Jethro.
@@michaelfrank2266, I agree, "Yethro" is cute 😊, but let her live now with this knowledge that I gave her 😁.
She knew already. @@sergesb3297
She knew already.
It's all about friends fun and music Serge🌿
