You hit the nail on the head - theatrical. Beyond Ian, their whole shows were staged out, from crew members setting up the stage in long coats and hats slowly swapping out for different members of the band or answering a ringing telephone on stage (mid song), turning to the audience and asking if Mike Nelson is in the audience and out from a back door a man in full scuba gear comes in and walks through the crowd up onto the stage. Their shows were amazing.
'Wind Up' is an incredible song IMO. I hope you change your mind on it. GOD, do I miss this line up. I've seen Jethro Tull perform live 27 times. They have changed band members often over the course of time. This is by far their most talented line up. *Drummer Barriemore Barlow:* The band Rush were huge fans of Jethro Tull. Barlow was a major influence on drummer Neil Peart. Geddy Lee once stated if he could build his perfect dream band, Barlow would be his drummer. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin said Barlow was the best drummer to ever come out of the U.K. *Bassist John Glasscock:* According to Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore, John Glascock was a “brilliant bass player, the best in the business in rock”. *Guitarist Martin Barre:* A major influence on the guitar playing style of Dire Strait's Mark Knophler. *Band Leader Ian Anderson:* The finest live performing frontman in Rock history. A self-taught multi-instrumental / song writing genius. Never enough can be said about Ian's talent. *Keyboardist John Evan :* Incredibly talented. Not enough said about this guy. *Orchestral Arrangements / Keyboards Dee Palmer (David at that time):* Another great talent that brought so much orchestral classical depth to Tull.
One of the most entertaining, satisfying concert experiences you can find. Saw 'em in '75 and '76. Great shows, monster players. Guitarist Martin Barre included. 😊 Ian is riveting, incorrigible and mesmerizing. Can hardly take your eyes off him. ✌🏼😉🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Saw Jethro Tull live several times over the years, 1st time at I.O.W. Festival, then others in late 60's into 70's. Later in venues & Ian with small set & support singer, a few years ago. They were always superb, no matter what line up. Huge Fan, thank you.
Tull have always been breathtaking live. The Rolling Stones, in their pomp, created a movie in 1968 from a special one-off gig called "The Great Rock and Roll Circus". Apart from the Stones, it featured performances by The Who, John Lennon, and a very young Jethro Tull. The Stones refused to release the movie for decades, because they were blown away by scorching live acts by both The Who and Jethro Tull - two of the greatest "rock gig as performance" acts of all time.
it sure is anti establishment and it ties in my god . and then theres the line I dont believe you you had the whole dam thing all wrong Hes not the kind you have to wind up on Sunday Anti school (indocrination) anti organized religion Tull is meant to be seen as well as heard. Was pretty much an anthem up there with another brick in the wall
I saw Tull in '88. Ian apologized for being low-energy as he was recovering from the flu, then he proceeded to blow us away. Ian's low energy is way beyond most people's high energy!
Hello. I really enjoy your reactions! I saw you did the Pentatonix (sp?) cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. I would highly recommend you check out the Jeff Buckley cover some time. IMO it’s the most beautiful, haunting interpretation of a song that’s been covered my many artists. 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate Tull reactions. Sending several LPs your way SOON. Only caught them live twice. I've seen the lead guitarist Martin Barre several times. He performs some great Tull tunes as well as his own.
Ian was really going to work on Martin there, for a bit. That's taking clowning around to the next level! I think they had some influence from acts like Monty Python and Bonzo Dog. Just having wacky fun, British-style!
Respectfully will disagree with your assessment of Wind Up. It's a well written song and musically amazing. And...your bopping head nods when the band kicked in says your opinion may have changed with this version
I think this younger generation doesn’t understand that the lyrics (message) in many of the bands songs where what made them memorable, many times they become more important then the instrumentation… we were a generation that listened to lyrics, of course it didn’t hurt that most albums back then included all the lyrics somewhere in the packaging… Wind Up is anything but unmemorable!
@@betseyr.9081 when I listen to albums (like this one) I have the lyrics pulled up as well. It was just shadowed by the other songs which I liked more, that’s all!
One of the greatest bands ever that has slipped a bit from view. Ian Anderson is a bonafide genius songwriter, singer, musician. The band was chock full or great musicians as well. Martin Barre is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. He played lead for the band from 1968 to 2012 and rarely shows up on the lists of greatest guitarists. If he does, it's way lower than he deserves. Oh yeah, it's a great drum solo but...extended drum solos are really pretty boring...
Im thinking its time for another Genesis reaction Domimo Principal / Domimo Live Wembley 1987. Starts at 16:33 of this concert th-cam.com/video/4NSWWFhTrk0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UFGXyPglmMtrXNew

Jethro Tull would like to sing us "songs from the wood" to make us feel much better. :D

I saw Jethro Tull 3 times, the kast un Madison Square garden and they were absolutely great. Always entertaining.
the best live band. I mean they just are
brings back good times

Best guitarist with male pattern baldness ever. Love live music , after hearing the studio version countless times , it's refreshing to me.

Wind Up is anything but unmemorable! The message is outstanding...

@@robertkern9911 Hymn 43 is one of my top picks from the album too! More great messaging...
Wind Up is an incredible piece.
Tull always had Top Shelf Drummers .
Saw Tull in concert late 70's - one of the most memorable I've seen.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥the best!! Ian is genius!
I’m so happy some has played wind up. Most reactionaries never get to wind up. I love this song.
UND NATÜRLICH WIE KONNTE ICH JOHN GLASCOCK VERGESSEN😢 RIP.MR.GLASCOCK SIE WAREN EIN PHANTASTISCHER BASSIST!!😊😊

How does Barre not crack up with Ian doing all that crazy stuff around him. Very underrated guitar player IMO
Thinking of Ian Anderson always bring me to think of one name, Zappa.

Ian Anderson is crazy good! He is also the father-in-law of Andrew Lincoln (Rick) from the Walking Dead!
Yeah man saw them in 73 it was UN-REAL
Dude , saw their '75 Tour .
Didn't disappoint .
Thank you!

The Best Rock Progressive,.. or something so !!!
Saw this tour at MSG and the spectrum.
I wonder if that was his performing voice or his irl voice. It is unique.

Live version perhaps changed my mind…😁

when they make a movie about Ian, who will play him?
Yes, yes, yes, Martin Barre is very underrated guitarist. And Ian Anderson lost his voice since ca. 2010, since then it is more speaking than singing.
Im thinking its time for another Genesis reaction
