LET ANY MODERN ROCK BAND DARE TO IMITATE JETHRO TULL...ha ha...IMPOSSIBLE...AND I THINK NO ONE COULD DO IT......AND IF THEY DO, IT WON´T GO PERFECTLY.....Greetings from Argentina
Hey Doug I was at this concert also. I was 24 years old, I'm 70 now. This was the 4th time I had seen them. Now today I have seen them 44 times in total. 38 special, Robin trower. Almost Johnny and Edgar winner but they didn't quite make it. Even without them though that was one heck of a concert
I’m 19 I just discovered Jethro Tull at the Greta Van Fleet concert I went to this summer and I’m so great full for finding them Reasons for waiting has become one of my favourite songs ever written
And Tull is still not in the R&R Hall of Fame. Please weld iron locks on the doors! They do not deserve to be in business. Until Jethro Tull walks through the front door! With a red carpet. Robert Plant! You know how special this music is. Please do something!
Dolly and Beyonce? IDK how that could happen and Tull is treated like a red haired stepchild! Shame on them and their "authority" to determine the best of Rock!
One thing about Ian is that he doesn't party, he's very straight, had him at the Riviera Theater in Chicago and he signed every autograph at the stage door , very appreciative of the fans
Let's face it: when you see an entertainer coming down the backstage tunnel looking like Shakespeare in a Harlequinn costume, you know the show is going to be absolutely fantastic.
..about 30' back from the stage, just to the left of center in the old Sombrero.. what a killer day that was with these guys topping the evening off. True artists.
Ian Anderson is arguably the greatest poet, singer songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist to ever appear before a paying audience, and he has done so over 4k times in over 40 countries. Ian Anderson has written over 90% of the notes and lyrics, he has hired and fired every band member and special guest. Ian Anderson has had final say over every finished product album after album, he has negotiated every record deal, he has signed every contract to go on tour. Ian Anderson has directed every rehearsal and presided over every soundcheck. Ian Anderson writes and performs music with as high a degree of difficulty as anybody ever in the music business and he has done it all while standing on one leg and making it look easy when we all know it isn't.
Perhaps the only other independent composer/musician/businessman who's at Anderson's level is Frank Zappa. The degree of difficulty in his music (not for everyone, but I love it) terrifies lesser musicians.
1st show TAAB '72 since then about 60 x's, last time in Boston Oct. '23. Exquisite musicianship in ALL aspects. RR HOF F'off. Met Ian in '88 in Inverness, Scotland (see photo). That's outside his fish Factory. Then next year backstage when he signed photo along with Martin. Happy 77th. Never too Old to Rock-n-Roll !!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely lost talent from a time not yet forgotten by those of us who were alive to witness this . We were very lucky. Although these legends still tour , their contemporaries are playing for different reasons.
I saw Jethro Tull four times. I am 73 years old, And we both still Rock !! Jimi Hendrix in 1966 !! Too Old to Rock and Roll ? Hell we Invented It !!!!!!
@@kenwhite9983 you’ve got 10 years on me. Im counting on still having the energy you’ve still got when I get to 73. Im hoping it’s got something to do with the music culture of the 60’s & 70’s. Not sure what the kids listen to now. All sounds like aerobic music. Same beat 😂🤣👍🏻❤️. Electric drums 🤮🤮
His genius - and perhaps we have to credit Ian simultaneously - is his sense of timing. The music would open up and Martin would always have that killer lick or riff to reel you back in.
me too 70, 71 in dec. still young...inside. I play flute and guitar as a result of the music that surrounded us as we grew older and wiser. stay young. ask more questions. keep an open mind and keep learning.
I am currently 76 and can truly appreciate Anderson's virtuosity with his awesome ability to play his flute and sing his songs as well as clowning around in the interim,....he gives his ALL on every occasion that he performs!❤😊🥹🥹👍😎😊
In medieval Gaelic and British culture, a Bard was a professional story teller, verse-maker, music composer, oral historian..... Such is the songwriting genius of Jethro Tull.
I never got to see Tull live BUT in ‘72 the halls of Dracket Tower Dorm on the campus of THE Ohio State University echoed “Thick As a Brick”…truly one of the greatest bands if the Era!☮️
I was too and I didn’t want to go because it was so hot and while we always found great seats and enjoyed the acoustics we never expected to actually see it, No one was aware of what was going to happen because we’d never seen a jumbo screen before. It’s so normal now but I still remember the rush when Ian Anderson who looked about 2 inches tall came walking out and we all realized what was happening. I’m so glad we went. It’s still one of the best concerts ever and I was fortunate to have seen many. And finding it on TH-cam was/is awesome!!!
I saw Tull twice back in the 70's but my first concert after the pandemic was over, l saw Martin Barre do the entire album "Aqualung " and his Encore was the song" Teacher ",which is one of my favorites. I've been going to concerts since I was 15yrs old, l'm 67 now and still going to concerts, til the day I die 🤟🥰🎶
Could've played with Frank Zappa back in the day but didn't return his call (well, he did actually, but hung up before it rung)... I believe he still regrets not having the guts
I can't believe this was captured on film and is on TH-cam. I was there just out of High School at this exact concert. Ian Anderson walked out under the big screen that no one had ever seen before, and said " Welcome to Tullavision." The stadium went NUTS!! I can't believe I can sit in my living room 41 years later and watch, thank you to old technology with professional cameras, and modern with the net. Great thanks to Tull and the poster that uploaded it. Unfrigginbelievable!
John vilardo I was there too. (sitting around the 40 yard line). Yes, the audience went *nuts*. "Tullivision" was ahead of its time. I assumed it was a regular feature on the "Too Old" Tour. Now, after seeing only Tampa footage surface, I assume that Tull was taping this performance for later use.
The amount of energy it takes to do a show is staggering. To do a play is hard enough. But Anderson is the center of attention for the whole concert. And he really pumps energy into it. A force of Nature.
A man possessed. He is relatively young here so he does have that going for him. But he is incredible. Vocals, flute, guitar, dramatic acting and dancing. A+
I saw the 25th anniversary tour and was a bit disappointed. The song I wanted to hear the most was 'Teacher' and I couldn't believe they didn't do it. Ian then fluted 'Cross eyed Mary' instead of singing it and the replacement drummer really screwed up major drum parts of 'Aqualung'. The only real props they had was a clothesline w 4 pieces of clothes on it. This was in Anaheim. Very Disappointed 😞.
@@jamesmack3314 those who know, know. But I whole-heartedly agree, Ian is a tremendous player. Outstanding. And he was willing to play so many instruments, even if he wasn't awesome at all of them, he did what the music required. But as for his acoustic guitar playing ... he was a freaking stud.
Ian Anderson is as outstanding acoustic guitarist as S Howe and S Hackett or May better than them , Jethro Tull is by far the best progressive rock band ever existed.
Amazing that Dave Pegg his emergency replacement only had a couple of days to learn the set before the world's first global transmission of a live concert.
I LIVED for Jethro Tull and I still have my old original albums. My bedroom wall was plastered with Ian Anderson posters lol. So lucky to see them numerous times in the greatest years, the 70s, at Madison Square Garden when the rafters were filled with weed & we brought in wineskins slung over our shoulders filled with Boone's Farm Apple Wine. He was and still is mesmerising. I feel 15 years old again. Well, I always feel 15 years old lol.
I was a teenager in the 70s, and this is what we rockers listened to back then, I love Jethro Tull passionately. I had bought the Thick As A Brick vinyl LP with my allowances. Incredible memories.
my very first concert ever, september 1970, St Anslem's College Manchester NH. Ian walked through the crowd, then blew us away with entire catalogue of both Aqualung and Stand Up. maybe 150 kids were there. Ian Anderson what a musician
Estaba escrito que esta banda iba a aparecer para deslumbrarnos , en un momento que existían otras que formaron un conjunto de grandes creadores e intérpretes. Eso sucedió en los 70 y nunca más volverá a suceder.
Especially Thick As A Brick. I wrote a composition for literary class about Aqualung (song) and created a dialogue (a bit similar to a text montage) between a poet (related to the curriculum), Ian Anderson (Thick as a Brick) and a few others.
Progression, Folk, Blues & a good dose of Hard rock! Simply put there wasn't, isn't & will NEVER be...(& not just because of the flute) another band like Jethro Fuckin Tull!! Period!
Actually that was the first time we ever saw a jumbo screen and it was mind blowing lol. I wish my kids and grandkids could really understand just how psyched we were. What a showman he is and an amazing musician. Wow just can’t begin to do him justice 😎☮️💖💙💙
I saw the Aqualung Tour Concert in Phoenix in '72 and LOVED it. Tull is one of the few bands who sound as good live as they do on a studio album. When Ian stopped playing his flute to sing, he tossed it up 2 stories, sang the verse, then stuck his hand out behind him to catch the flute and play the next notes, sight unseen. Wow, definite force of nature and showman extraordinaire.
I'd venture to say that they sounded BETTER live, at least on this night. It WAS a tour de force. I saw them much later (2003) after Anderson lost his beautifully distinctive singing voice and it wasn't the same.....I guess 27 years didn't treat them very well.
All you can do watching Jethro Tull is to shake your head in absolute wonder, and to thank the fates for bringing them together, music and the world would be a lesser place without them, they have give us so much. Thank you to every member of Tull down the years, in particular though the best front man ever to grace the stage.
uapuat He had a shit name that’s why. Should have gone for a better moniker. I mean if you heard there was someone called Cozy Powell playing drums or someone called Barriemore Barlow who would you go to see, and who’s name would you remember? 😂
Jethro Tull was my very first rock concert. It was a kind of "blind" gig for me - Not knowing their music at all I was dragged along by a bunch of college mates as we all bundled in one car and headed down the motorway to London to see them play. That was when I just fell in love with their music and style. Juste fantastic and amazing live performers.
My brother mimicked him on flute...but the greatest fluteist ....Ian. My brother since has passed away, and he ( bless him) gave me my first Jethro Tull album...I loved it.
A Tull experience lasted much longer than the actual show, there was so much for your mind to absorb that you could still see it, hear it & feel it for days afterwards.
Awesome explanation of what would happen to someone seeing a concert like this , especially at a young age . One of my good friends saw the Who at the Civic Center in San Francisco in 1971 , and for a few days he was almost in a trance , repeating over and over " the Who , the Who " . The same situation would apply here with Jethro Tull at the top of their game .
Ian and the band at their prime. It is wonderful that with new technology young people can get to see and hear the band, without having to pay for tickets to see them like I did from 1972 onwards! The tickets got harder to get hold of too into the 1980s and beyond as the Band's fan-base grew. They are right up there at the top of the tree when it comes to the quality of their music, musicianship, and live performances. Albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, Warchild, Songs from the Wood, Stormwatch and others will live forever in the Music collections of Music lovers the world over.
Ritchie Blackmore was a huge fan of Tull. The medieval sounds and costumes, the prog, the acoustic guitar. In fact, this is how he really wanted deep purple to sound like. He finally went this direction with blackmore’s night in the mid 90’s.
@@StormcrowB I went to several Tull shows during the 70s and 80s. True story: on one of their tours, pretty sure the War Child tour, they were so big that the San Diego paper did a big Page 2 review of the show the night before, mentioned all the drugs, and quoted a guy saying "what's a Tull show without acid?". For some reason I have always remembered that.
I was too and was blown away when we suddenly realized we could see them!! I'm not sure what I was higher on but 70,000 were caught in the spell they wove. I can't believe I stumbled onto this!
Non stop action with same powerfull stream of energy during whole time. Uncomparable show. Not only musical genius and poet but stagemaster and showman also.
Saw this show at Shea Stadium,Queens NY!Absolute master showman! Saw Tull many times as I should 🤣! Love this lineup! Now that the RRHOF is a joke please don’t put Tull in! You don’t deserve them. One of greatest shows in the 70’s,along with so many other greats! Best decade of music ever in my humble opinion 😎! Was lucky enough to see these great band’s in their prime!We will never ever see band’s like Tull,The Who,Zeppelin,Pink Floyd etc.again 😞! Music today is ridiculous 🤪. So grateful I was born in 1959🙏! People can only dream of what I saw🤣🤣!! Long live Ian Anderson and JETHRO TULL MUSIC 🎶!!
Was at the same show at shea. Was actually there to see Robin Trower. It was awesome. “Ladies and gentlemen, please adjust your Tullavisions!” Wasn’t a Tull fan until that night. BTW also born in ‘59…and RRHOF is a freakin’ joke.
And that's the Truth. Same for me, saw all those bands, such a freak I saw Zeppelin 176 times in 5 countries. Those Were the Days!!! LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
To Cry You A Song/ A New Day Yesterday / God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Only JT can pull off a Christmas tune in the middle of a rock show. When I listen to JT, so do my neighbors. Thank you JT.
What an absolute amazing band! Such timing of so many different sounds and instruments. I saw them 6 times growing up back in the 70s. Rock n roll at it's best. Pure delight. Ian Anderson more than a genius... He's a rare wonder to songwriting! (I'm still totally amazed)!
Ian Anderson is an amazing performer! He’s like the Pied Piper. I can picture him going thru towns and everyone following him as he plays his flute! Brilliant talent!
To me, Ian Anderson is what I would call the modern day Minstrel. Talented in many ways with a taste of the old style of performing. I have always admired this band and Ian in particular
Started listening to Jethro Tull when I was 7 and I'll listen them to the end of my life. Ian Anderson has a special place in my heart. The greatest person, musician, flute player, singer, performer. Thank you, King Ian, for showing me what real music is and what great concerts mean!
Same here....I began listening to them around 10.... will never find them boring...the best progressive rock band ever...antician Anderson is something else altogether. They should never be in that rnr hall...they're already much higher and more creative than most there.... theyre from another realm altogether
Holy crap I can’t believe this was recorded. I was there at 19 years old. We didn’t even have a football team yet but had a great stadium for awesome concerts. Tull, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart and many others. This takes me back to my youth.
I was there also Frank. I was married and we just had our first child a boy everyone was saying that’s going to be a rock and roll kid for sure. Great show I think Molly Hachet was one of the other groups who played. Blink an eye my son has 4 kids and I just had my 71 birthday long live rock.
The dynamics of Minstrel in the gallery live I'm still in disbelief Martin Barre writing playing these riffs avant-garde measures brash nothing like this IA Tull all it's own ... This is so badass 🌟
Best live band I ever saw and was privileged to see Tull many times during this era and beyond. Unique, idiosyncratic and nobody comes close to IA as a showman, genius musician and songwriter.
What an entertaining Maniac Ian was! I don't believe there will be anyone else like his kind for many moons! His self taught flute and his vocals are unique
I drove down to Green Bay Wisconsin to see them in August 2000. I'm glad to say I saw them live, but it was actually pretty disappointing. It was Ian's birthday that day, and he must have been having a mid-life crisis or something. Seemed very tired and unenthused, just sort of speaking the words instead of singing them.
A better title for this video would probably be "The Ian Anderson Band," since if you didn't know it was Jethro Tull, you'd think it was Ian with his backup musicians. As a Tull fan since the "This Was" days, it always baffles me why videographers back in the day would invariably focus on one member of a band almost to the exclusion of everyone else. Yes, of course Ian was the driving force, but without the incredible musicians in Tull behind him, he'd be just another prolific singer/songrwriter strumming an acoustic guitar and throwing in an occasional flute solo.
I was at this concert. I was 11 years old and the only Tull song I knew was Bungle in the Jungle. I didn’t have a clue what I was in for. They had a giant tv behind the stage (Tullavision). Made me a Tull fan for life. Thank you for sharing this video.
Yes, agree... even when I saw him in Sydney in 2017, with his sadly diminished voice... still an amazing presence on the stage, and his flute and beautiful acoustic guitar as good (maybe even better than) as ever! ♥️♥️♥️
What a great, great concert. These guys were truly professionals and they all worked together to put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. A band of Medieval Minstrels at the top of their game. Amazing! I had never seen them in concert before and I am truly amazed.
I saw JT for the 1st time when "brick" was released in 1972. What a time in history. I was 21,life was good,and this concert was amazing. The band came out and ripped thru the entire "brick"LP- start to finish. Saw Martin and the boys 10 times after that,and always left well satisfied. Great band!
was lucky to grow up with Jethro Tull (thank you brother), my life's band and it's been a long ride, 44 years listening to them (perhaps even earlier, from my half century experience)
Vintage Tull.... it doesn't get better then this fans.... Martin Barre is sadly a very underrated guitarist.... this line-up is considered to be Tull's finest line-up... some may argue this of course....but none can deny this line-up was great...
Yep, I rate this line up as the best Tull ever, just for total cohesion, with the addition of David Palmer on portative pipe organ made them perfect for the last part of the 70s.
Damn, they were fantastic live! I saw them on the Too old to rock n roll too young to die tour in Indianapolis they blew my mind. Ian was so sexy and a true genius. This band does not get the love they should! They always gave their best. Peace and be good to each other.
Wow, this is my first time seeing this performance and I am absolutely blow away! Such an amazing talent. This line up sounds particularly incredible. Ian Anderson is likely THE MOST under appreciated musician of ALL TIME.
@@lfaderI saw Martin in 2022, he had Clive Bunker with him , incredible show , the second half of the show they played Aqualung from start to finish. Met the band after the show to top off an amazing night .
I saw Jethro Tull 3 times from 1969-1972. The energy of Ian Anderson was pure electric. It was like watching musical theater. Tull was a very unique band with great players.
His flute sounds like it’s obsessed. Amazing.
LET ANY MODERN ROCK BAND DARE TO IMITATE JETHRO TULL...ha ha...IMPOSSIBLE...AND I THINK NO ONE COULD DO IT......AND IF THEY DO, IT WON´T GO PERFECTLY.....Greetings from Argentina
I was at this concert. I was 19 years old. I'm going to be 65 in two weeks. This great band and their music still hold up beautifully.
So cool I bet it was very good

Helt enig di kan komme hvilket band som vil. Ingen over Ingen!😊
Ian doesn't want to join R&R hall of Fame
It probably isn't considered rock. Same goes for ELP
One thing about Ian is that he doesn't party, he's very straight, had him at the Riviera Theater in Chicago and he signed every autograph at the stage door , very appreciative of the fans
He just robbed you at the turnstile he gives you his autograph kid you you might get some money for it. 😂😂😂
Easy to do when only 30 turn up to watch you.. Bit difficult for 10.000 beatles fans. Try it
Go back to your Boy George website! This is for the millions of Tull fans and you clearly don’t know what great music is obviously!!!
@@robert.m4676👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so Tull + Gentle Giant! Great stuff!!! British Prog at that time was incredibly marvellous!
Let's face it: when you see an entertainer coming down the backstage tunnel looking like Shakespeare in a Harlequinn costume, you know the show is going to be absolutely fantastic.
No matter the year

How many of today's performers can put on a show like this? The flute solos are beyond belief. mad genius.
phenominal.
Definitely lost talent from a time not yet forgotten by those of us who were alive to witness this . We were very lucky. Although these legends still tour , their contemporaries are playing for different reasons.
Who the fuck has the balls to play the flute in a serious rock band!!!!

Screw the Rock Hall. Tull is too good for those pretentious arseholes
@@N2DV0iD667 no shit, as if its based on quality, just numbers , regardless of cheeseyness, . we know better , thats the only thing that counts
It will never happen for some reason they classify them as folk lol even though they won heavy metal band of the year over Metallica
Without a doubt...
@@starshiptrooper7670 It doesn't really matter, lets not make comparisons because nobody does, Tull are unique, end off!
Why Martin is not universally recognized as being among the top guitarists ever is beyond me.
And still great at 73. His electric interpretations of Tull have bought back the energy of the band from the 60's & 70's. Amazing man.
It's because of Anderswon's demonstrable personality. Relegates everyone else to 2ndary, deservedly or not.
His genius - and perhaps we have to credit Ian simultaneously - is his sense of timing. The music would open up and Martin would always have that killer lick or riff to reel you back in.
Love tull best band ever
Martin Barre est excellent et là pour moi c'est le meilleur Jethro Tull. Evans, Barlow...
Saw him 11 times and would again. I'm 70yrs old and still listen to his music.
We, in our 70s STILL know how to rock!
me too 70, 71 in dec. still young...inside. I play flute and guitar as a result of the music that surrounded us as we grew older and wiser. stay young. ask more questions. keep an open mind and keep learning.

The fact that they could play Thick As A Brick close to the album version when live is a testament to how good they were.
actually much better
Yes it is a very complex masterpiece…No. 1 Album in America
In medieval Gaelic and British culture, a Bard was a professional story teller, verse-maker, music composer, oral historian..... Such is the songwriting genius of Jethro Tull.
Truly
Impeccable musicianship AND showmanship not seen in todays "edgy" cookie-cutter music. This really entertains your mind!
Now I am almost 71 years old and have still been enthusiastic about this legendary group and their music for over 50 years
I never got to see Tull live BUT in ‘72 the halls of Dracket Tower Dorm on the campus of THE Ohio State University echoed “Thick As a Brick”…truly one of the greatest bands if the Era!☮️

I dont feel 62 anymore. Im back in 76 riding my schwinn and listening to my records after school. Jethro was my favorite. 😊
Me, too! About to become 64 and I feel … happy! Thank you Jethro Tull and thank you n.v.
Ian Anderson, a force of the nature, genius, marvelous, magnificent... Hopefully this world have more of his kind of madness.
Unfortunately not much talent of this nature nowadays
billy barew his voice may not be as sharp as it used to be but he is pure talent none the less!
@@elliet1345 absolutely!! :)
Absolutely !!! I make mine your words.

It doesn't get any better than that.Jethro Tull ruled the 70's.
А путин в это время стучал на жалейке в Штази как на дуде .

Right on Bro. I posted this because it was my first ever concert. Drove up from Sanibel Island to see the show.
They condensed thick as a brick to a shorter gem. And brought minstrel in the gallery to life.
I was there too. Good show.
@@dbhammond It must have been awesome, and how cool that you get to review and partially re-experience it!
The amount of energy it takes to do a show is staggering.
To do a play is hard enough.
But Anderson is the center of attention for the whole concert. And he really pumps energy into it.
A force of Nature.
Saw TULL in Prov R.I. and came out drained , tired ( NOT ALL THE SHROOMS) Slept well that night or not .. A huge fan since STAND UP..
indeed
A man possessed.
He is relatively young here so he does have that going for him.
But he is incredible.
Vocals, flute, guitar, dramatic acting and dancing. A+
2022, i am almost 64 years old. Thank you for the memory. Simply splendid. An extraordinary band.
Now that, kids, Is a PERFORMANCE. Great music by great musicians.

I've seen Jethro Tull about six times and I am still in awe of the creativity, musicianship, songwriting and showmanship. They have it all.
Ditto: Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play, and Minstrel in the Gallery tour attendee.
I saw the 25th anniversary tour and was a bit disappointed. The song I wanted to hear the most was 'Teacher' and I couldn't believe they didn't do it. Ian then fluted 'Cross eyed Mary' instead of singing it and the replacement drummer really screwed up major drum parts of 'Aqualung'. The only real props they had was a clothesline w 4 pieces of clothes on it. This was in Anaheim.
Very Disappointed 😞.

I saw them perform this in NYC and it was amazing. It is a disgrace that they aren't in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame!
yeah but Dolly Parton is
thats insane
His unique, very rich style has seen nothing before and probably see it ever again. Great job, Jethro toll. I just love it.
Ah, the minstrels of my youth. What an awesome band. Wow, words and music with substance. What a beautiful concept. I miss these guys.
Last of the minstrels.
People forget how good an acoustic guitarist Ian is....
They do?
@@stevewalt1273 Well he doesn’t get a lot of accolades for his playing
@@jamesmack3314 those who know, know. But I whole-heartedly agree, Ian is a tremendous player. Outstanding. And he was willing to play so many instruments, even if he wasn't awesome at all of them, he did what the music required. But as for his acoustic guitar playing ... he was a freaking stud.
@@Ferretbomber my god
Ian Anderson is as outstanding acoustic guitarist as S Howe and S Hackett or May better than them , Jethro Tull is by far the best progressive rock band ever existed.
Man, do I miss these days of live music!
And affordable prices.
@@stephenhensley5631 No kidding! Such incredible musicians and showmen.
RIP John Glascock - what a great bass player
So what happened to him?
@@jamesmack3314 He had a bad heart and died in 1979 at age 28.
Amazing that Dave Pegg his emergency replacement only had a couple of days to learn the set before the world's first global transmission of a live concert.
I LIVED for Jethro Tull and I still have my old original albums. My bedroom wall was plastered with Ian Anderson posters lol. So lucky to see them numerous times in the greatest years, the 70s, at Madison Square Garden when the rafters were filled with weed & we brought in wineskins slung over our shoulders filled with Boone's Farm Apple Wine. He was and still is mesmerising. I feel 15 years old again. Well, I always feel 15 years old lol.
Few bands take me back to my crazy youth than when I hear Ian Anderson and that flute. 🙂
Shea stadium 1976,great night, era. Robin Trower opened

My uncle was at the Shae Stadium Tull/ Robin Thrower show. Were you there for one of those nights? He said they did the baby pram/carriage gag!
@@stephengeorge3507my uncle was there.
This is one band me at 67 years old regrets not ever seeing. Fantastic video thank you
there is still time my friend
One of the greatest live rock bands of all time!! 18 people dont like this? What's not to like? It's Tull live!
It like 36- Thick as a Brick now
Yea man. Those where great shows. I watched the band change. It got cool. Then-A. .
Don't care, taste is different in the free world.
Aaah , a man who likes his own comments and is a butthead at the same time. 👆🏼😂
They are morons. I am a country rock guy..But IM not so stupid that after hearing Tull I knew they were "something else". ALways liked em.
I was a teenager in the 70s, and this is what we rockers listened to back then, I love Jethro Tull passionately. I had bought the Thick As A Brick vinyl LP with my allowances. Incredible memories.
my very first concert ever, september 1970, St Anslem's College Manchester NH. Ian walked through the crowd, then blew us away with entire catalogue of both Aqualung and Stand Up. maybe 150 kids were there. Ian Anderson what a musician
👍👍👍👍👍
I saw Tull 28 times.Every show was PERFECT !! Total professionals.R.I.P. John Glasscock, excellent bassist.
Jethro Tull is Out of this World, aliens would be scared to hear this magic
It's a shame that John glascock is dead
Too right
That’s fckng funny!! Alright.
Ian Anderson is very cool. This is very cool…
What ? even Klingons ? :-)
Definitely one of the best live bands ever existed!
Absolutely!
I loved jethro tull aqualung was one of my favorite a hard rock is all it took
Grateful Dead the best
@@ruthburns5365 benefit
Estaba escrito que esta banda iba a aparecer para deslumbrarnos , en un momento que existían otras que formaron un conjunto de grandes creadores e intérpretes.
Eso sucedió en los 70 y nunca más volverá a suceder.
Not only was the music extremely original and creative, but I think Ian's clever lyrics were vastly underrated.
Marcillio Ficino absolutely
Especially Thick As A Brick. I wrote a composition for literary class about Aqualung (song) and created a dialogue (a bit similar to a text montage) between a poet (related to the curriculum), Ian Anderson (Thick as a Brick) and a few others.
They deff had that somethin special
Progression, Folk, Blues & a good dose of
Hard rock! Simply put there wasn't, isn't & will NEVER be...(& not just because of the flute)
another band like Jethro Fuckin Tull!!
Period!
and classical too, I think Ian quoted some Bach in his solo
Yes, totally agree!
Yes… that’s nailed it
Yes a lot of that and talent, luckily little progressive s.
Jethro Tull is such an amazing rock group. Ian is the ultimate showman on stage. The people in the first 10 rows certainly got their moneys worth.
Actually that was the first time we ever saw a jumbo screen and it was mind blowing lol. I wish my kids and grandkids could really understand just how psyched we were. What a showman he is and an amazing musician. Wow just can’t begin to do him justice 😎☮️💖💙💙
Ian Anderson is the greatest frontman of all time.
Nah! That spot goes to the late Freddie Mercury.
@@PotterSpurn1 Nah, Bon Scott.
nah machine gun kelly (i jest)
I saw the Aqualung Tour Concert in Phoenix in '72 and LOVED it. Tull is one of the few bands who sound as good live as they do on a studio album. When Ian stopped playing his flute to sing, he tossed it up 2 stories, sang the verse, then stuck his hand out behind him to catch the flute and play the next notes, sight unseen. Wow, definite force of nature and showman extraordinaire.
I'd venture to say that they sounded BETTER live, at least on this night. It WAS a tour de force. I saw them much later (2003) after Anderson lost his beautifully distinctive singing voice and it wasn't the same.....I guess 27 years didn't treat them very well.
yes, yes, yes
I think they sound better live
Wish I could have seen it, thanks for sharing the memory.. true talent at it's finest.
AQUALUNG Tour was 1971. Thick as a brick tour was 1972.
John Glascock was an outstanding bass player. Rest in Peace!
John Gee!
excellent tone.
As said by Ritchie blackmore, he was the best in the business. RIP.
He was like John Bonham, like a machine. Where everyone would miss a note or a beat sometime, he never did.
And they put him in what, four quick shots. Shame on the production crew.
Tull is the only huge band I didnt see live, Man do I regret that at 70 yrs of age?
the bassist is out of this world in skills
Sadly, no longer with us. Died young with heart issues and his death was a major cause of this line up breaking up
All you can do watching Jethro Tull is to shake your head in absolute wonder, and to thank the fates for bringing them together, music and the world would be a lesser place without them, they have give us so much. Thank you to every member of Tull down the years, in particular though the best front man ever to grace the stage.
No words..., Fucking wonderful...

Barriemore Barlowe was such a great drummer! He doesn't get nearly enough love.
Methinks John Bonham and Keith Moon are over rated! BB brings so much to the ensemble without taking anything away.
Nor do John Evan and David Palmer, such humble superb musicianship.
Edwin Barnes it’s Dee Palmer now. 😆
uapuat He had a shit name that’s why. Should have gone for a better moniker. I mean if you heard there was someone called Cozy Powell playing drums or someone called Barriemore Barlow who would you go to see, and who’s name would you remember? 😂
liddy paul Barriemore Barlow without doubt.
Jethro Tull was my very first rock concert. It was a kind of "blind" gig for me - Not knowing their music at all I was dragged along by a bunch of college mates as we all bundled in one car and headed down the motorway to London to see them play. That was when I just fell in love with their music and style. Juste fantastic and amazing live performers.
gi ve chance ulle dig it
My brother mimicked him on flute...but the greatest fluteist ....Ian. My brother since has passed away, and he ( bless him) gave me my first Jethro Tull album...I loved it.
A Tull experience lasted much longer than the actual show, there was so much for your mind to absorb that you could still see it, hear it & feel it for days afterwards.
45 plus years
Awesome explanation of what would happen to someone seeing a concert like this , especially at a young age . One of my good friends saw the Who at the Civic Center in San Francisco in 1971 , and for a few days he was almost in a trance , repeating over and over " the Who , the Who " . The same situation would apply here with Jethro Tull at the top of their game .
Ian and the band at their prime. It is wonderful that with new technology young people can get to see and hear the band, without having to pay for tickets to see them like I did from 1972 onwards! The tickets got harder to get hold of too into the 1980s and beyond as the Band's fan-base grew. They are right up there at the top of the tree when it comes to the quality of their music, musicianship, and live performances. Albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, Warchild, Songs from the Wood, Stormwatch and others will live forever in the Music collections of Music lovers the world over.
Ritchie Blackmore was a huge fan of Tull. The medieval sounds and costumes, the prog, the acoustic guitar. In fact, this is how he really wanted deep purple to sound like. He finally went this direction with blackmore’s night in the mid 90’s.
❤ Greetings from EAST Berlin
Ritchie Blackmore is a virtuoso and a true genius
I was there myself and i am 65, going out to all my brother and sisters in rock.
16yo and stoned out of my mind at that concert.
Martin Barre is such an underrated guitarist! That Les Paul sounds so good!
Holy crap. I was there... so this is what i should have remembered.
It's ok,you were probably wasted!!
Yeah no shit! I don't remember half the Broadsword and the Beast concert I went too.
@@StormcrowB I went to several Tull shows during the 70s and 80s. True story: on one of their tours, pretty sure the War Child tour, they were so big that the San Diego paper did a big Page 2 review of the show the night before, mentioned all the drugs, and quoted a guy saying "what's a Tull show without acid?". For some reason I have always remembered that.
I was too and was blown away when we suddenly realized we could see them!! I'm not sure what I was higher on but 70,000 were caught in the spell they wove. I can't believe I stumbled onto this!
Ha ha ha I know what you mean. Well said.
One of the greatest performers and bands in rock history!
Non stop action with same powerfull stream of energy during whole time. Uncomparable show. Not only musical genius and poet but stagemaster and showman also.
Saw this show at Shea Stadium,Queens NY!Absolute master showman! Saw Tull many times as I should 🤣! Love this lineup! Now that the RRHOF is a joke please don’t put Tull in! You don’t deserve them. One of greatest shows in the 70’s,along with so many other greats! Best decade of music ever in my humble opinion 😎! Was lucky enough to see these great band’s in their prime!We will never ever see band’s like Tull,The Who,Zeppelin,Pink Floyd etc.again 😞! Music today is ridiculous 🤪. So grateful I was born in 1959🙏! People can only dream of what I saw🤣🤣!! Long live Ian Anderson and JETHRO TULL MUSIC 🎶!!
Agree,Robin Trower opened at big Shea,great night, era
Was at the same show at shea. Was actually there to see Robin Trower. It was awesome. “Ladies and gentlemen, please adjust your Tullavisions!” Wasn’t a Tull fan until that night. BTW also born in ‘59…and RRHOF is a freakin’ joke.
And that's the Truth. Same for me, saw all those bands, such a freak I saw Zeppelin 176 times in 5 countries. Those Were the Days!!!

When I listen to JT, so do my neighbors.
Thank you JT.
What an absolute amazing band! Such timing of so many different sounds and instruments. I saw them 6 times growing up back in the 70s. Rock n roll at it's best. Pure delight. Ian Anderson more than a genius... He's a rare wonder to songwriting! (I'm still totally amazed)!
Mr. Anderson’s theatrics on stage are incomparable!!! Always a thrill!!!!
OMG the golden years of Tull! Dope...
Ian Anderson is an amazing performer! He’s like the Pied Piper.
I can picture him going thru towns and everyone following him as he plays his flute!
Brilliant talent!
today a very elegant man, an icon
To me, Ian Anderson is what I would call the modern day Minstrel. Talented in many ways with a taste of the old style of performing. I have always admired this band and Ian in particular
Started listening to Jethro Tull when I was 7 and I'll listen them to the end of my life. Ian Anderson has a special place in my heart. The greatest person, musician, flute player, singer, performer. Thank you, King Ian, for showing me what real music is and what great concerts mean!
Correct SIR!!!
Same here....I began listening to them around 10.... will never find them boring...the best progressive rock band ever...antician Anderson is something else altogether. They should never be in that rnr hall...they're already much higher and more creative than most there.... theyre from another realm altogether
Your right, for me too. I saw them the first time in 1969 at the Island Blues Festival in The Hague (Netherlands)
Simon Britain got talent said the flute is a junk instrument guess he never heard Tull’s Ian Anderson play it self taught amazing talent
Holy crap I can’t believe this was recorded. I was there at 19 years old. We didn’t even have a football team yet but had a great stadium for awesome concerts. Tull, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart and many others. This takes me back to my youth.
I was there also Frank. I was married and we just had our first child a boy everyone was saying that’s going to be a rock and roll kid for sure. Great show I think Molly Hachet was one of the other groups who played. Blink an eye my son has 4 kids and I just had my 71 birthday long live rock.
The dynamics of Minstrel in the gallery live I'm still in disbelief
Martin Barre writing playing these riffs avant-garde measures brash
nothing like this IA Tull all it's own ...
This is so badass 🌟
Tull Live is transcendent; all other bands can take a lesson.
There are no bands anymore
Except for Genesis. Tull can Take a lesson.
Michael Katz and Yes with the other Anderson.
King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra and numerous incarnations of Frank Zappa's 70's bands would like a word with you.
Nobody will ever match TULL…..and I do mean ever……..!
I used to take Jethro Tull for granted back in the late 70's and early 80's. Now I realize Ian Anderson is a Musical Genius!
The Pied Piper of Rock and Roll!
Best live band I ever saw and was privileged to see Tull many times during this era and beyond. Unique, idiosyncratic and nobody comes close to IA as a showman, genius musician and songwriter.
I've always admired and loved Martin Barre 👍
Ian Anderson is in a unique original class by himself nothing like that then or now ever ...
I was at this concert and now it is 2021. I remember it like it was yesterday. A few months later I left for boot camp.
This was the SHYTE! Im 62 and love every minute of the great music I grew up with
What an entertaining Maniac Ian was! I don't believe there will be anyone else like his kind for many moons! His self taught flute and his vocals are unique
Aye, what a sweet memory!
Nothing in the world compares to a Tull concert!
my only regret is not being born soon enough to see them live
Ian Anderson is still performing.
@@kirkdandie yeah but i dont think they'll ever come to where i live, if i have the chance and money id fly out to watch them. Maybe some day
I drove down to Green Bay Wisconsin to see them in August 2000. I'm glad to say I saw them live, but it was actually pretty disappointing. It was Ian's birthday that day, and he must have been having a mid-life crisis or something. Seemed very tired and unenthused, just sort of speaking the words instead of singing them.
Still performing, but not TULL anymore.... cause everyone gets too old to Rock And Roll....
A better title for this video would probably be "The Ian Anderson Band," since if you didn't know it was Jethro Tull, you'd think it was Ian with his backup musicians. As a Tull fan since the "This Was" days, it always baffles me why videographers back in the day would invariably focus on one member of a band almost to the exclusion of everyone else. Yes, of course Ian was the driving force, but without the incredible musicians in Tull behind him, he'd be just another prolific singer/songrwriter strumming an acoustic guitar and throwing in an occasional flute solo.
As a 75 year old this is as fresh and brilliant as the first time round.
I was at this concert. I was 11 years old and the only Tull song I knew was Bungle in the Jungle. I didn’t have a clue what I was in for. They had a giant tv behind the stage (Tullavision). Made me a Tull fan for life. Thank you for sharing this video.
Imo Ian is one of the greatest performers to grace a stage, he just had that presence, the guys a legend and so is this incarnation of Tull.
Yup the Anderson/Barre/Barlow/Evan (Hammond/Glascock) lineup were an amazing band
Yes, agree... even when I saw him in Sydney in 2017, with his sadly diminished voice... still an amazing presence on the stage, and his flute and beautiful acoustic guitar as good (maybe even better than) as ever! ♥️♥️♥️
@@arkanoiddude Pop in David Palmer, tops.
@@martinhayward4466 Yeah Palmer was a good influence on the music, gave it a real baroque feel.
@@martinhayward4466 it’s not David Palmer anymore, it’s now Dee Palmer.
What a great, great concert. These guys were truly professionals and they all worked together to put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. A band of Medieval Minstrels at the top of their game. Amazing! I had never seen them in concert before and I am truly amazed.
Yes
I saw JT for the 1st time when "brick" was released in 1972. What a time in history. I was 21,life was good,and this concert was amazing. The band came out and ripped thru the entire "brick"LP- start to finish. Saw Martin and the boys 10 times after that,and always left well satisfied. Great band!
was lucky to grow up with Jethro Tull (thank you brother), my life's band and it's been a long ride, 44 years listening to them (perhaps even earlier, from my half century experience)
I also attended this tour, "Tull-A-Vision" in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. A band of musicians like no other.
Vintage Tull.... it doesn't get better then this fans.... Martin Barre is sadly a very underrated guitarist.... this line-up is considered to be Tull's finest line-up... some may argue this of course....but none can deny this line-up was great...
Best it was, in my books.
ogrebattle22763 Martin was one of the best. And I’ve seen Page,Clapton,and lots of greats
Yep, I rate this line up as the best Tull ever, just for total cohesion, with the addition of David Palmer on portative pipe organ made them perfect for the last part of the 70s.
Agreed!
Saw Jethro Tull 6 times. Their shows we're always great. But this by far, is my favorite lineup of the genius of Tull!
Damn, they were fantastic live! I saw them on the Too old to rock n roll too young to die tour in Indianapolis they blew my mind. Ian was so sexy and a true genius. This band does not get the love they should! They always gave their best. Peace and be good to each other.
Only interesting thing to happen in this town in 40 years
Thank you to one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever being Jethro Tull! God bless all from Patrick
Imagine how many stoned people in the audience entranced by the Flute playing 🤘🏽Bloody amazing well everyone was amazing in the band 🙏🏽
Wow, this is my first time seeing this performance and I am absolutely blow away! Such an amazing talent. This line up sounds particularly incredible. Ian Anderson is likely THE MOST under appreciated musician of ALL TIME.
I'm 65 and believe me, he was absolutely appreciated by almost all my contemporaries.
@@MrElapidyes AND Martin Barre still stands tall in my world today 🌟
@@lfaderI saw Martin in 2022, he had Clive Bunker with him , incredible show , the second half of the show they played Aqualung from start to finish. Met the band after the show to top off an amazing night .
I saw Jethro Tull 3 times from 1969-1972. The energy of Ian Anderson was pure electric. It was like watching musical theater. Tull was a very unique band with great players.
These tunes take me back to the beautiful 1970's. What a great time it was to be a teenager. Thank you Ian Anderson. ROCK ON!!! ✌
