The people who saw the tour of this album realize the relevance of the brown coats, the road crew set up with brown coats and caps on and the band sneaked on with brown coats etc on and started up...great theater, I'm nearly 67 now and still enjoy this musical masterpiece....loud
On one Tull I saw they were dressed as band tech in the white jumpsuits. They came on stage and fiddled around tuning guitars, checking the drum set, etc. Then they took the suits off and took to their instruments. That was the TAAB show in 1972. The finest concert I ever attended, and I’ve been to around 150-200 in my life. Saw the big name bands. Ian Anderson is the greatest front man in rock history IMO.
He inhabits every note so thoroughly, either singing, or with his still spectacular flute playing, or dancing as he did. He plays 3 parts, and in turn it takes 3 people to play him. Just amazing.
As a fan it was there from day one, I totally agree. A Passion Play was never fully recorded, but try to watch parts of it. I was there. Totally unreal. If you doubt their popularity, look up the Red Rocks riot in 1971. I was there. They were drawing crowds that rivaled Led Zeppelin. One of the greatest quotes from that night was something like “If I don’t get on stage, you’re really gonna have a riot!”
Yeah, the ‘73 A Passion Play was the best show I ever saw. TAAB at #2 on my highly accurate but humbly personal list. I was lucky to be at the APP concert in late July ‘73.
Loved seeing this being performed live again. Yes, it’s not the old JT band, yes IA’s voice has gone - but it’s still a terrific performance of a classic favourite album of mine.
Sem dúvida .... Thick as a Brick ... The BEST JT's LP ... e a melhor obra do Rock Progressivo ... O MAIOR e melhor trabalho do sr Ian Anderson ... a única de suas obras que teve uma continuação 40 anos depois ... TAAB 2
After decades of listening to TAAB I finally got to see it live at the TAAB 1 and 2 concert. It was so good to hear the whole thing live and not just a 10 min snippet. JT has stood the test of time and continues to excel.
Kudos to Anderson for recognizing that supplemental help with the vocals was best...and this young singer sounds like his twin (who is it???) And, his flute playing remains a masterpiece.
Absolutely.... Could not agree more... I was really excited when I saw this because I could not find a long live version... And the young guy brings a really nice stage presence... The way the two of them trade off vocals and flute... Very well done
A fabulous performance, those wonderful eclectic words of poetry penned by Gerald Bostock from page 7 of the St. Cleve Chronicle. Seriously, this was 45 minutes of a perfect performance. Ryan O'Donnell was a perfect fit to Ian Anderson and drummer Scott Hammond's skill and energy was absolutely amazing.
I’ve owned an obsessed over this album since the day is was released 50 years ago. I know it inside out and still hear new things. This performance is remarkable.
At first I thought this would never work. With Ian's faint voice and without Martin, Barrie, John, Jeffrey and David/Dee, nooooo...no can do. And yet they made it! Breathtaking performance bringing back great memories! Still have and cherish the vinyl, it's the apotheosis of progrock.
I have 2 original albums and 1 CD of this tour de force.I saw Tull in Canada twice and twice in Israel.This performance is fabulous.Yes,his voice isn’t the same but the contribution of that young Ian,Anderson’s showmanship,flauting and typical tongue in cheek humor make this show such a treat.It’s a marvel how old Ian and young Ian coordinate their vocals.Bravo!
I place Ian Anderson up there with Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and Bruce Cockburn and the Bee Gee's as the greatest songwriters of my lifetime. Some lofty company there.
Ich bin sprachlos!!!!!!. Und das war ich bei meiner arbeit als musikverkäufer seeeeeehr selten. Ich werde in einem monat junge, sympatische 63. Sogenannte babyboomers. Ich meinte, ich kenne fast alle Konzerte durch das youtube inernet. Dieses konzert ist soooooo fantastisch. Danke dem menschen, der es hochgeladen hat. Liebe grüße aus der Schweiz.
An absolutely brilliant live performance, theatrical, poetic, entertaining, with a great display of exceptional musicianship. Ian Anderson is a diverse and talented genius. That is putting it mildly! 👏🎸
18:11 is a part I've wanted to see live ever since I heard it on the album. The keyboard part and the momentum building up to it makes it like one of my favorite musical moments of all time. Thank you for the video and thank you Ian Anderson!
Not only is Ian Anderson a musical genius - but kudos to all the musicians for learning such a long and intricate piece! You won't find this level of musicianship among popular artists very often these days. And Ryan O'Donnell is perfect as Ian Anderson!
Ian's voice ain't what it used to be, but his flute playing is still phenomenal. I thinks he's gotten better over the years, if that's even possible. I hope he's in good health. I totally agree with another comment here that puts him in the same league as Mozart or Beethoven - except better because not only did he write music, but also great poetry. The kid singing his parts really did a awesome job in the spots he sang at, but I don't think he was really needed, imo
Singing is very difficult in old age.....especially with any type of surgery.....I had open heart surgery and my wife said they had like 25 tubes down my throat....that and other physical problems have made it so I can't even sing for my own enjoyment.......I used to be able to belt it out....now trying to get through 3 minutes isn't possible.....actually Ian's doing pretty good considering.....
His latest album with Jethro Tull, "The Zealot Gene" is pretty good. And his voice is actually not that bad. He does sing in a lower range than he did 50 years ago.
I am sooo lucky and grateful to see them live twice in a former socialist country behind the Iron Wall. They played big chunks from TAAB beside Aqualung, Heavy Horses and other masterpieces!🤗
I saw both they're first and final shows in Calgary .CA, LOVE these guys ♥ After I saw their first Show I was inspired to Learn the flute, And Became quite good, Until I had an accident that wrecked my lip. Its fair to say this band changed my life. I doubt they will read this but if they do , I was the guy in the Jubilee Auditorium Balconey that gave out the extra long Cat whistle 🤠❤. Although Thick as a Brick is some what of a monumental LP , I have to admit I prefer Aqualung
O' Why could I not have been living in London or wherever he was, at that time...re: circa 1969. I could have gone to one of his spectacular perfromances! For now, i'm grateful for 'yoo' tube!
Always wanted to see it in full,performed as a whole piece and now I have.They actually waltzed and the interruptive phone call---like the old days.Thanks.
What is the year of this concert? (I saw JT in 1972 in Dallas play the entire TAAB perfectly. I had recently purchased the album. I believe there were only five of them on stage, but it’s been a long time. They were magnificent.)
Chi non ha avuto la fortuna di assistere ai concerti dei grandi Jethro Tull nel loro triennio d'oro 1971 1972 1973 beh...dei " veri" Jethro ,purtroppo, ha visto nulla....
I was blessed to see the original group in LI and NJ they were fantastic back then ( The bursting out show ) and Broadsword....Both shows were Splendid....
Been listening to this guy since 72. liked him back then, and like him even more, The genius thing mentioned in some comments, isn't far off the truth.
I find it difficult to watch Ian in 2021 - he remains the genius I have worshipped all my adult life and I am pleased to have seen hi in the 1970's but like a footballer who overstays his welcome he has "lost a yard or two"!! He surrounds himself with acquiescent musician but he has never surpassed the original line up of Barre, Cornik and Bunker! They were the magical wood and Anderson was the wizard of the wood! RIP Glen - hope the others are doing well - thanks all for the music and the memories!
Aw, Jon Boy, this is where you have to appreciate that ALL artists and performers age, and change (and eventually, will die, like most of my favorites---luckily, we haven't lost Ian Anderson yet (so far as I know)). So, I guess? Just appreciate the echoes of the song/picture, if that's all you can get out of it ... while even the impression is still available. There won't be another Ian Anderson, ever. So appreciate the fading old fart, while he's still with "us."
Jon Boy, don't believe in any way Ian has "overstayed his welcome." He is seasoned, saged and holds the creative foresight to entertain us by adding younger vocalists in order to capture the intended drama. Ian suffers from COPD, which makes it terribly hard to breath while climbing the stairs, much less, playing a flute (better now than then, by the way,) moving on stage, and singing. He is STILL brilliant, and I am so thankful he is out there gifting us his incredible talent and genius. Thank you, Ian Anderson, for your brilliance, and as they say in Scotland, "Failin means yer playin." and "Keep the hied!"

That guy doing the vocals is great! His gestures as well as his voice! Actually... Ian's vocal contributions here are a bit painful, by comparison. I would never mistake the other guy for Ian's old voice, but he is terrific in his own way.
Aaargh! Brings back ALL my college days. I became an engineer with Ian in the background encouraging me at every study session. His words are even more poignant today. So far ahead of his time...
I always considered Barrymore Barlow's drumming is what pushed thick as a brick to the next level. Any other drummer and brick would still be very good but Barlow made it great. HIs freewheeling and unique style is a thing of beauty throughout this album. This drummer does a real good job of imitating Barlow style.
MBD53; somebody wrote in comments they did think could be played live with complexity of said song ... For me it was AQUALUNG which did not like when I first heard it I then went to my first concert ever 16 or 17 at OPERA HOUSE,CHICAGO,ILL. JETHRO TULL APPROX. 13 rows from front center with friend Dean he does not remember. Phone I think was sitting on front edge of grand piano. Lights go down and JOHN EVANS comes out on stage stares out at audience waves to band who make wardy onto stage and band goes into AQUALUNG I've never looked back. They pulled off AQUALUNG and I realized I was watching pure genius. Flash forward year or two's later to THICK AS A BRICK TOUR, at Chicago Amphitheatre Watching stage notice a coat rack prominently on stage And on a lot guys in lab coats and caps cleaning stage and tell Linda may she R.I.P. A TEACHER who gave me ticket for birthday that band is on stage and has been for couple of minutes. She says no way, I say watch and tell her also guy walking around with big hair is IAN ANDERSON. The next time she looks at me I'm smiling and almost catatonic. Never looked back been to somewhere near 200 shows lost track any way, THANKS TO ALL BAND MEMBERS AND ESPECIALLY IAN ANDERSON
I can only say, celebrate that he's living, and performing. Too many of the musical giants that I've loved over the years are dead. Appreciate that Ian Anderson is still alive, functional, and so far as I can tell (based on "rock" today) ... still one of the better bets.
The Wife and I saw this in the venue formerly known as the Bristol "colston" Hall, absolutely brilliant, flawless and now the pandemic is over looking forward to seeing them again in Bath in September. Genius and unique band. Prog Rockers....gotta love em.
JT didn't fair well after punk took hold. Love JTull, and some punk for that matter. Punk was a good kick in the ass for rock and roll, but became just as conservative as what it tried to displace. I do admire Ian with some of his recent solo stuff. And classics like Thick As A Brick are still amazing, as are Passion Play and many others. Still a huge inspiration for me as a musician. Long live Ian and J-Tull!. I do miss Martin's guitar though!
I never had owned anything at all from Tull’s vastly incredulous catalogue with exception of The Best Of & Aqualung (obviously, right.?) but after seeing his live performance 🎭 in Florida for the first time in @‘76 which I believed was the band’s big hit 💿 with Bungle In The Jungle tour ( I’ve no idea 🤷🏻♂️ what the actual album was called. Sorry 😞 about that). Here is an absolute madman genius w/ Martin Barre and these other guys jamming away like their lives depended upon it as I sat here in awe. Totally mesmerized by what a great talent they’d been right under my very nose! I guess I must start saving everything from Jethro Tull now along side every single thing in my phone 📲 from ABBA til ZZ now lol xoxo 💋 Sincerely yours, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA Amerikkka of course! 🇨🇳🏳️
I am 40 and Ian Anderson is BY FAR MY FAVORITE ARTIST.!!
The genius of Ian Anderson is not inferior to that of Mozart or Beetoven, and it is not an exaggeration, it is the pure truth. I love it!
You're 100% correct!
Absolutely....magic 🎶🎶💕

Ian Anderson is a fabulous songwriter, vocalist, and musician. Jetro Tull is so underrated.
WOW! Spectuacular colaboration! The other gent sounds almost identical to Ian Anderson, almost ..bravo to the genius of Ian!
Thick as a Brick is my favourite album ever.

If he wants it JT should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. It should have happened decades ago.
He is one of the best showmen still around.
He inhabits every note so thoroughly, either singing, or with his still spectacular flute playing, or dancing as he did. He plays 3 parts, and in turn it takes 3 people to play him.
Just amazing.
The «Do you believe in the day» section is pure magic.
I’ll say it again. This man is a genius!
He IS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!! But, Genius?!?! Let's not get carried away!

@@tracymitchell7494 - As of 2023 he still worked for Ian Anderson. He was never an actual member of the band, just a hired hand, so to speak.

I think Ian thought the flute was essential during that section so another singer was needed.
in May 2020 he said to suffer from pulmonary disease

Jethro another band who produced high quality level of music last century.
Est-ce que c'est son clone ce jeune chanteur? WOW Ryan O'Donnell.
Helpfully flashing «BRICK» on the screen in case the audience forgot.

I never had owned anything at all from Tull’s vastly incredulous catalogue with exception of The Best Of & Aqualung (obviously, right.?) but after seeing his live performance 🎭 in Florida for the first time in @‘76 which I believed was the band’s big hit 💿 with Bungle In The Jungle tour ( I’ve no idea 🤷🏻♂️ what the actual album was called. Sorry 😞 about that). Here is an absolute madman genius w/ Martin Barre and these other guys jamming away like their lives depended upon it as I sat here in awe. Totally mesmerized by what a great talent they’d been right under my very nose! I guess I must start saving everything from Jethro Tull now along side every single thing in my phone 📲 from ABBA til ZZ now lol xoxo 💋 Sincerely yours, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA Amerikkka of course! 🇨🇳🏳️
Wow! I saw the show in nyc and this brings it all back. Great sound on this video too. Cheers
