He taught himself to play the flute after thinking he was never going to be up with the best guitar players, although as you can see he's pretty competent . But the thing is he didn't know much about flute as he did guitar so he played 12 bar blues on the flute more or less. I got this from an Ian Anderson interview. He comes across as a man that does not suffer fools gladly.
Ian is right up there with Plant when it comes to talent in lyrics and as a frontman, you will never see anyone do it like Ian does, so glad to have seen this band live! Don’t miss “Hymn 43” off this album, it’s a very deep rabbit hole for Tull and worth the dive to the very bottom!
i was lucky enough to see tull 3 times between '71 and '74 when i was in my early 20's. my favorite band then and still in my top 5 bands of all time. 3 of THE most epic concerts in the 200 or so i have been to. and now i have tickets to see their lead guitarist MARTIN BARRE in our beautiful western mass. berkshire hills at the worthington golf club on june 18th. he is now 76 and still shredding.
From my first of many concerts starting in 1970 , I am absolutely still mesmerized. Saw Ian last week at the Ravinia outside of Chicago . He’s unable to stop being brilliant. All those years of joy, it gets emotional. We were so blessed through out our lives to experience Tull , and yes especially with Martin I must say. That was Lennon and McCartney .
Thank you for your comment my friend !.. much appreciated!.. one more Jethro Tull here !.. : th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BrOKO5XPVMQFvcpY ENJOY 😃
@@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact It was a great period for the concerts ... Led Zeppelin (in Bruxelle, just before the death of JB), Pink floyd, gong, magma, Genesis (with Peter Gabriel), Zappa, David Bowie ... At that time (1975 -1990) I was in College and after starded to work ... Even the evening of my french baccalaureat (I was 17yo) , I was running at a concert of PinkFloyd ... Great great period ... It is very difficult to find the same magical energy today ...
Welcome, good sir, to real music.I feel sad for you for not knowing Jethro Tull sooner in your life, but I am thankful that you finally have discovered Jethro Tull. And there is more.
Jethro Tull has a song for everything and everybody. Wild and wonderful folk music, introspective beautiful love songs, I think they're so wonderful for all things. And yes, I have loved all things JT for way too many years! If you're interested in one of the most beautiful songs ever, 'Requiem' would be my recommendation. Completely beautiful.
To think he was a guitarist who heard Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton and then decided he couldn't compete so he SELF TAUGHT the flute in record time and history was thankfully made! I also learned from a Toni Iommi interview (Black Sabbath guitarist) that he was once invited to join Jethro Tull - Imagine that for a second. BTW another stunning mind blowing performance is Stevie Ray Vaughn live doing Texas Flood at El Macambo. You won't believe your eyes and ears I promise!
Already reacted to Stevie Ray Vaughn live at El Mocambo . Take a look here th-cam.com/video/jxOmnwSFA-4/w-d-xo.html ! : And in this second link , My first reaction ever to JethroTull. th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.html ENJOY!.. 😀😃
Maestro Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull - you now know the truth - the more you see, the more there is to love. Absolute Genius! What a treat to watch you discover!
I have a story for you , Ian's father said in an interview once , '' I never cared for Ian's music at all.................. Until i saw the first royalty check.'' I love telling that story. Short and sweet. I think i saw that interview here on you tube years ago. I never forgot it .
You need to understand that this is pretty raw Ian Anderson and Tull. You need to flip through more of his albums as they matures and produces works that reflect that growth and that maturity and the talent and the ingenuity and the uniqueness. It's unbelievable. Menstrual in the gallery Thick as a brick. Unbelievable stuf
Thank you so much for these helpful comments !.. th-cam.com/play/PLtxeUSYZhJdC-3dIz5XljmctHZ-BGe3Lu.html&si=ZElmdlznit9I6zZQ 😀 in The meantime more Jethro Tull reactions here !.. Enjoy 😊👍🏻😀
I saw them live the first time in the Spring of '72 during the Thick as a Brick tour and I have been a huge fan since. Nobody except Ian Anderson could keep an auditorium of young people absolutely captivated with a flute solo like he could. You have to be awe struck by his physical endurance and the extreme talent of everyone in the band. I've seen a lot of great shows in my life but Tull concerts are always at the top in my book.
Watched your Locomotive Breath review...... live is very different to the original recorded version...... which has a brilliant piano / guitar intro...... almost classical with a touch of jazz. lol
It seems to me you still have a lot to explore! Have a good journey! Some suggestions: Jethro Tull quite some time later (1977) "The Whistler" Zappa "Fifty-fifty" Audio 1973 Gentle Giant "Free hand" video BBC 1978 Vanilla Fudge "You keep me hanging on"
"The most insane performance I have seen in my entire life" Yep. Agree. To me this Isle of Wight live concert by JT was the absolute pinnacle. Clive Bunker and Glenn Cornick as the rhythm section too. It was Ian Anderson at his peak when he could still sing really well. His voice changed so much during the 1970s. I'd would give everything away to have seen that concert in 1970.
I saw them in DC ian was in a wheel chair broke something in a show in S America. I was like, really? No theatrical stage? But noooo he was popping wheelies and in fine form for being in a wheelchair!
@@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact love most all types of music.Seen Led Zeppelin in 1970 also in the 70’s seen Jethro Tull,Yes,Kansas,Alice Cooper,CSNY to name a few and Jinjer this September.Regret not seeing Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath
th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.html Here my first exposure to Jethro Tull, 3 months ago!.. ENJOY!.. 🙂
"Thick as a Brick" live at Madison Square Garden is a masterpiece. ☺️
Si in 1978

Nice comment My friend!.. here another Jethro Till reaction !.. enjoy!.. th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.html ☺️
You need to see a live performance of "Thick As A Brick"
Wow !
Yes! The Madison Square Gardens version. 😮
preferably Madison Square Garden
MSG is my fav
Great reaction.
Thank you SO much , my friend !.. one more Jethro Tull here th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YVs_Hqr981nRrVDc Enjoy !.. 😀😃
One of the most classic prog rock performances caught on camera for future generations
The concerts in the 70ds. Were soooo great! The musical talent back then was unreal
You are definitely right!.. th-cam.com/play/PLtxeUSYZhJdC-3dIz5XljmctHZ-BGe3Lu.html&si=VvU-3G7N0DJP8S6X more Jethro Tull here !.. Enjoy 🙂
Ian is a once in a lifetime miracle.
Arguably the greatest flutist on the planet. Ian Anderson....a gift to rock n' Roll...
😍

Not a good comparison. Plant just stands there with one hand in the air.
@@mklives2Ian was a much better frontman and lyricist, I won't say a better singer because that's fairly subjective but yeah, not on the same level

Check out Jethro Tull Fat man live 11/15/1983 amazing Ian Anderson front man and genius
You need to understand that this is pretty raw Ian Anderson and Tull.
You need to flip through more of his albums as they matures and produces works that reflect that growth and that maturity and the talent and the ingenuity and the uniqueness.
It's unbelievable.
Menstrual in the gallery
Thick as a brick.
Unbelievable stuf

Great tune & reaction
A new man is named Ren Gill, a master as well. But you would have to have been a Tull fan back in the day...
You should see the reaction of classically trained floutists.
А ведь у них еще и очень красивая, сложная, но гармоничная музыка. Все альбомы 70х - настоящие шедевры. Просим продолжать.

@@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact My pleasure, hope you enjoy a very special intro.
He made you say "My God"
OMG, yes!
Try his live flute solo at Tampa Stadium, Florida
🫣😍😦
It seems to me you still have a lot to explore! Have a good journey!

Jethro Tull quite some time later (1977) "The Whistler"
Zappa "Fifty-fifty" Audio 1973

Vanilla Fudge "You keep me hanging on"

One more here !.. th-cam.com/video/q5dRQR2ctis/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cI1sGaYmbhv1-MFN ♥️ Thank you for the recommendation
For those who think you can’t front a rock band with a flute
Well, Punk began before Punk got started.:-)
😉☺️yess!!
