Classic-they were so damn good. The fact that they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is an absolute crime. This track is one of their best and from IMO their best album Aqualung. Ian Anderson is one of the best musicians and front man/singer/songwriters that I've ever had the pleasure to see in person. And they're releasing a new album very soon.
Couldn’t agree more. The studio track is their finest composition imho as well. It’s a gem hiding in plain sight all these yrs later. Still have first issue vinyl. The other Tull album that stands out too me, and is a true concept album is “Minstrel In The Gallery.” Both personal favorites. Regards
In Baker Street Muse, Ian writes, "I have no time for Time Magazine or Rolling Stone", I'm guessing in response to bad reviews. I don't think Ian cares about the RRHoF. He writes for himself, and I'm so glad he still does. I've pre-ordered his new album coming out in April.
@@corawheeler9355 I had forgotten that. I think your right about the snub they continue to get from the RRHOShame. A dvd from at least a dozen or more yrs ago showed the current iteration of the band touring, along with individual and group interviews sprinkled throughout. To your point what was most illuminating was their real desire to continue as working professional musicians. One of the members said, (and I’m paraphrasing here) you don’t stop working as a musician just because you’re over 40, or have crossed some imaginary point in time. From our collective sentiments on the subject, I do believe it’s us, their fans, who are most bothered by the “bad form” shown them by the “Hall.” Here’s just one more group that for me, is the biggest dis of all from any era. That would be Bad Company. Like Tull, their catalog and dimensions during the Classic Era were profound. Add too that, both Paul Rogers and Ian Anderson have been performing into their 70’s, which I find remarkable and for them I imagine, more important.
@@corawheeler9355 I agree completely about all you say. Personally, I do not like music critiques either. Most of the time they are wrong in their judgements. And yes, I'm going to pre-order RökFlöte very soon too. Cheers and all the best from Turkey.
Of course they're not in the Hall of Fame. They're too busy winning Metal Grammys.
Ian had only been playing the flute for a few years at this point...never had a lesson...totally self taught. A few years later he is arguably the best flute player in the world and still is today. An amazing musician, song writer and singer...
I watched a reaction to this video by a professional flautist and she pointed out that it’s extra cool because he has broken his right pinkie at some time so he can’t move it properly. If he went to take lessons most teachers would tell him that he didn’t have the dexterity to play the flute.
@@stevedavis5704 FYI: His right pinky finger was not broken. It is a genetic condition called Camptodactyly.
My mistake. I was told it had been broken. I guess it shows you could get misinformation even before the internet came along.
He said a few years back that his daughter was taking flute lessons and said "daddy I will show you the right way to play "
Living in the Past is one of their greatest songs. The live version is so good, and Ian is quite the showman.
LITP was one of my least fav. Tull songs. Then they did this live heavy version in the 90's and Its one of my favorite Tull vids. th-cam.com/video/HoE2DsgCdI8/w-d-xo.html
Ian Anderson young man is a composing genius… And of course is amazing live I’ve seen him 11 times in my prime… By far the best band in my 68 years hands down
Great reaction! I gotta say, you’re one of the best reactors out there. I really appreciate that you care enough to learn about what you listen to. These classic rock artists were ground-breakers, and they deserve to be experienced, appreciated, and remembered. So many reactors don’t even bother to learn names. Thank you.
I agree. He's the only one I am subscribed to.
What does Jethro Play? /s
The studio recording of "My God" on "Aqualung" is an exquisite masterpiece. The same can be said for most of The "Aqualung" album.
Lifetime Tull fan. live 30 times from 77- about 2000.
One of my favorite songs of Jethro Tull- unappreciated and forgotten is “With you there to help me”. Listen loud though!
Jethro Tull make me happy. If ever you do album reactions I highly recommend Aqualung, My God is one of the songs on it and it's a masterpiece as is the whole album. Also Ian had only been playing the flute two years when this was recorded at the Isle of White Festival. He was self taught having never taken a lesson.
One of the best live or otherwise band on Earth with dozens of unforgettable tunes. This is one of the most important songs they have done.
"Do something weird - it's interesting and fun!" YOU GOT IT, MY MAN! That is the spirit of all great creativity and art whether you're a creator or observer or both. Never lose that attitude, it will serve you well all your days! Try and drag some of your friends along too ;) Keep up the great videos!
Need to go to the studio recording of “My God,” as it’s the very best version of one of their finest compositions. Like most studio work, it’s where all of the intention is generally found. A diamond among the gems of the Aqualung LP. “Wondering Aloud” is also a high water mark from the same album.
Jethro Tull are a British progressive rock band formed in 1967. The group’s founder Ian Anderson plays flute & acoustic guitar & is the lead singer & quite a showman. They've had a lot of different members over the years. They had a lot of great songs such as "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath", "Songs From The Wood", "A New Day Yesterday", "Living In The Past", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Sweet Dream", "Life’s A Long Song" etc.",
....well, it would help to mention the fact that IA actually WRITES the music and the lyrics...
Glad you liked it -- I was hoping that they were gonna play Nothing is Easy which is one of my favorites --- Someday I hope you give it a listen -- I love the poetic verses and flute in that one
Bass player is killin' it!!!
That was really good. Thanks
Honestly your reviews are the best. You take music and art for what it’s worth. Thank you Sir
brother you have found one of the greatest rock bands of all time very few bands can touch these guys they are so under rated you will be hooked on the music enjoy your self
CLASSIC JETHRO TULL!!!!!!!!😍😍😍
I graduated from high school in 1972 and loved Jethro Tull. We had really good music back then. lol Love your reactions!
OHHHHH YEAHHHHHH, I FIGURED YOU'D GET TO THIS ONE SALVO! 😊THE WAY IAN PLAYS THIS, THIS IS JUST SO SO GOOD AND INSANE!!! 😊
Listen to the studio version of My God. It's one of their best, and amazingly produced
I was there at the Isle Of Wight. A 19 year old hippy, thoroughly enjoying the music. Been a Tull fan since 1967, there were some huge bands at that Festival.
So funny and this is pure talent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God!!!😉😉😉One of the finest of the back catalogue. It cannot go any better than this. Sheer genius❤
Hard Rock Flute!
Many professional flute players are shocked to learn that at this point Ian was in less than 2 years of practice of being a self taught flautist. Even more so when they are reminded that he was practicing other instruments as well.
And...he is missing the tip of his right pinkie, so he had to modify his playing to compensate!
I’m 69 and have seen Jethro Tull several times and I’m my opinion they put on one of the best stage shows you could see back in the 70’s. Ian is the best showman. He writes most of the bands music and is one hell of a guitarist also.
The studio version of My God is as polished as this is raw and offers other rewards. you have been IANundated!
Dude you were born in the wrong timeframe ! - The way you react to the ole stuff - is pretty FREAKIN cool !! Wishin you many ole tunes to come !!!!
Yes it's pronounced "white" an island off England. If you haven't heard the studio version that would be a shame. This version is great though
The first time I saw Jethro Tull live was on this same tour-1970-in Austin,TX. My God! was the second song they played. It wasn't released on album until 1971, on Aqualung, so nobody there had heard it or had any idea what was about to happen. Needless to say we were all blown away by this over the top unbelievably incredible performance. The best concert ever!
I'm a Tull-head and the fact that you were impressed tells me a lot about you. Not their best piece, but with within the top 10%. Listen on my friend.
I enjoy that you take the time to give background on what you are going to play, and I’m really happy that you have discovered Tull, I saw them several times back in the day and they were always top tier!
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
loved the reaction thank you so much smiles and love jethro tull is totally unique.
His is awesome, I was 10 years old when this was filmed, had no idea!
I had to pleasure to see this band at least 4 times maybe more I even have some old ticket stubs that i kept. All I can say is watching them preform live is sure a life changing experience. And ticket prices where $7.50 back then. I am so glad i grew up in a era where we had so many great artists. And i seen most of them. Lucky me!!!!!
i was there
Esta actuación.es sencillamente una locura- Ian es espectacular. La canción, la banda, todo es francamente de otro mundo.
Sweet. Keep them coming!
It's fun to see someone find a great band and really delve into them
The other way around. recorded in 70 but wasn't used for the concert record at that time. When CD's came along they could put all the extra stuff on the CD. That's why they could say recorded in 70 and released in 2004.
never saw this performance before-LOVED it!! i remember buying a book with the sheet music to all of Jethro Tull's songs, and learning them on the flute.
Yep, the RR HoF will never be legit to real rock fans eyes until Jethro Tull gets in, a travesty of justice if there ever was one. I saw them many times in arenas and stadiums as headliners in the 70s, they were HUGE and they were considered in the upper echelon of rock bands in those days. Try any album in the last century from them, it is worth a listen but their output in the late 60s and 70s is legendary, a freaking amazing band and a big shout out to Martin Barre, who back in the day always got the spotlight for a 5 to 10 minute guitar solo, he fried my mind point blank a couple times and is a criminally underrated guitarist, one of the best, whether live or in studio. He does so on videos around 1970 or so, both at this show, the Isle of Wight Festival, and/or at a great venue near where I live, the beautiful Tanglewood in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. Those videos are more evidence of their Greatness. Tull Rocks! Enjoy. 🎶🎸🎤🎹🎶
Side 2!!! Haven't heard this song in a long time and had forgotten how beautiful it is 🎶🔥 Bonzo so young yet powerful 🤩 AMAZING
I already love Jethro Tull, but this one is crazy (good) even for them...nice find Salvo! First time hearing this.
JT drummer is fab man! I A is like a made music scientist! Thanks for the review!
From Aqualung. Great album--no boring song on there. You know an akbum is great when one of you fav tracks is the very last song: "Windup."
Back to the Troubadour of Rock n ' Roll: Ian Anderson & Jethro Tull. Good reaction.
I'm a life time Jethro Tull freak . And I had the reaction that you had. I was just in awe when I seen these guys in concert . I was Floored. I was 15 years old And I grew up in the 70s. I'm.now 68 years old and they are still my my No one band. You said something on one of other videos that you hit the nail right on the head brother. You you this band for the first time you are automatically a fan for life . They put on a new course of life . The lyrics are pretty influencel. And this music is timeless .I never get tired of hearing these songs..I guess I'm hooked. And loving every minute of it. Thanks for your reaction Bro.
All Right !!! Been waiting for this one.
It is indeed pronounced 'white'.
Tull puts a capital T on the term Transition.
🎹🎹🎹 🎸🎸
Preach Ian!!!
Yes and he had only been playing the flute for about 18 months at this stage, self taught!
Sal you mentioned early on in your reaction here, that you sense that Ian Anderson would be a great person to know- you're spot on. Despite his theatrics when playing, to hear and see him today, and ever since he basically retired from performing, (atleast like this) when interviewed etc. it's quite evident that this guy is grounded and has been for the most part, his whole life. No drugs/booze to where it was even close to a problem- probably did neither. Check an interview out on TH-cam some time. In late '72, (my senior year in high school) Tull came to the 7k seat Convention Center here in Las Vegas- I ended up missing it. To a person, that attended, still to this day, (half a century later) can recall this concert. (positively of course)
Yes, he can really play. He does have a CD out from years ago called “Divinity” where he plays pure classical flute with a symphony. The man is a musical genius.
Check out the tune "To Cry You a Song" from the same concert. FANTASTIC!. Tis 1970 Isle of Wight festival was the greatest musc festival ever!
a flutes reacted to this and said that this kind of playing is very hard and different.💚
I'm 76. Saw Jethro Tull for the first time at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1967. My generation told stories with our music. Ian Anderson was the king of storytelling.
You must check out thick as a brick by Jethro Tull. It is amazing.
Great song. Listen to the stuff that wasn't on the radio
You were saying? 🤣 I burst out laughing because you had just said that they were "theatrical" when they made you "theatrically" jump!
btw, if I'm not mistaken, Ian Anderson is a classically trained virtuoso flutist...
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥love Ian!!
I was 15 and was in England on a dreary unwanted trip to Europe that my parents forced me to go on, and that concert was happening while we were in London. Of course it was crazy and impossible, but I really wanted my parents to let me go. As if! But I wish I could have...
Later, apropos of "My God", after seeing Tull in concert the next summer and several other summers, Ian Anderson did become for me, to be quite frank, my God. Of course I knew he wasn't God the Creator of the Universe, but he was a minor god of my devotion and became supremely important to me. My psychologist (I was already in therapy at 18 years old) had the insight that Ian Anderson was everything I wished I could be, that his energy was the energy in me that was being held back so cruelly by my psychological problems... When I saw him, even from the rafters of the Inglewood Forum (through my dad's binoculars) start lunging at the microphone and twirling his flute, playing on one leg, conducting the band, etc., a burden was lifted from my heart and I rejoiced for the length of the concert and continued to enjoy reminiscing about how it had been for some time afterward... until the next summer! And that's how life was for me in the seventies.
My cousin got me into Tull (cheers Ray!) when I was 18, now at 56 still a massive fan.
His Aunt was one of my high school teachers in the early 1970's and she would announce that yes we are related and no I will not talk about him or get you an autograph so don't ask!
Also, I would suggest to you 'Bourée', which is Jethro Tull's version of Bach's 'Suite in E Minor for Lute'. You'll love it
The man does all that with one deep breath !!!! He is a legend !!
Seen him 7 times
The video was UPLOADED 2004, the performance is from the 70's...
Espectacular es parecido al regeton
Tull is my favorite of all time since I was a kid (59 now) and to get to see someone just discovering them and enjoying them so much is awesome.
Excellent reactions salvo I enjoyed watching that now maybe you could go to the aqualung album and listen to the studio version
You like this, you need to hear For A Thousand Mothers
Back in the 60s and 70s, there was good music, great cars , normal politicians, and everybody inhaled !
It's obvious that Ian could have made it as a guitarist/singer with this opening riff proving as much but isn't so him and refreshingly awesome that he mostly tossed it aside and gave us a world class unforgettable flautist
your attention to the info behind the song is one of the big reasons i subscribed. i like a reactor who seeks more info. keep up the good work.
The "Upload" date was 2004 - The video and performance is circa 1970...
It's weird, fun, interesting and according to a classically trained flutist, not very easy to play in Ian Anderson's style. BTW, Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull members were all pretty good friends. Heline has some really good reactions to Jethro Tull and also offers a lot of insight into just how great Ian Anderson is at playing the flute. I used to think he just sounded really good for a flutist in a rock band.😆
The amount of air that it takes to play the flute and create those voicings is stunning. Only Ian!
Great reaction!
53 years ago. A live performance. In a field.
I was there.
I met a Swiss girl called Kathy.
I was 16. (Look at my picture 🤣🤣)
Can you imagine?
You've made an old(ish) man very happy.
Thank you my friend.
Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Are you a fan now. Bro . I've been for over 50 years. Thanks
Jethro Tull with Stevie Rae Vaughn at the Sydney opera house 1982
Guarantee that you will love "Funny Ways" by Gentle Giant. Any live video from the 70s. More musicianship than you could sink a battleship with.
Thick as a Brick is brilliant
Entertaining...Brilliant...bizarre...love it!!! 😁👍✨️🤎🎶
Ian Anderson in beast mode. What a performance, only missing in this song John Evans, who joined the band a bit later.
My God is off the 'Aqualung' album the other songs are from the 3 previous albums which were their first 4 albums between 1968 and 1970. This particular song was a protest about the abuses that the Church of England had committed. Listen to the studio version its a lot more cohesive.
Martin Barre on electric guitar, Clive Bunker on drums. Blanking out on their wonderful bass player and keyboard player (Jeffrey Hamond-Hamomd?)
Great song, great performance. That version of the band was the best. This was before they'd even released the Aqualung album, so this was probably done not long after the song had been written. I was dispappointed you didn't include 'Nothing Is Easy', one of their best songs. You can't go wrong with early Tull. They were my very first concert, in September 1973 at Cobo Hall, a week or so before I turned 13.
Isle of Wite (spelling?)
Is in England . The Who also had a great live record there...around the same time.
THis is the story of peoples interpretation, good and bad, of what God means to them, and the things they worship that MIGHT get in the way of their relationship with their God. The heck with your friends who think this is weird. This is PERFORMANCE ART at its finest.
Remember, it was 1970 and most of the audience and half of the band were all on LSD. What’s weird today was just a great trip then.
One of many great bands from that era that were better live than they were on record.
For my money, and I admit to being bias, since I grew up on Tull, there are no more flamboyant & talented frontmen then Ian Anderson & of course Freddy Mercury.
Ian Anderson was to the flute as Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar.
I was at a boarding school in South Africa and aged 14 (1970) discovered Jethro Tull. South Africa was a conservative and racist country back then, and foreign bands seldom visited. However, I bought all their albums... THEN, after SA abandoned apartheid (1990) we heard that JT was going to do a SA tour (1994). A frantic dash for tickets - but nearly a quarter of a century after first hearing JT, we got to see them perform.
Today - 29 years after that concert, I now live in the UK, close to the Scottish border - and my small company once supplied a salmon fish farm in Scotland with a variety of specialist products. That salmon farm was owned and run by Ian Anderson.
I've seen him at RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE
Light them up.
Sophisticated Hard Rock geared for those with exceptional taste rather than pedalling the mundane.
