FIRST TIME REACTING TO | JETHRO TULL "LOCOMOTIVE BREATH" REACTION

He is one of the many reasons rock music was so good in the 70's.

You are not the only one that's obsessed Not everybody gets Tull - we're the lucky ones!

I saw Jethro Tull in 1978 (1st ever concert) I was 13. He was in his prime... Ian never stopped moving. I was right at the front of the stage. Phenomenal talent and the whole band was incredible.

I had this album back in high school in the seventies. Whole lot of fun. Ian thought of himself as a midevil bard or story teller hence the outfit. If you really listen to the riffs in the background, it sounds like a train coming down the tracks. Bless you.

I was in Tampa having traveled to my Aunts to celebrate my 19th birthday in 1976. As a surprise my cousins got tickets to the Jethro Tull concert on Saturday night. I still remember the amazing showmanship of Ian Anderson and also the remarkable musicians in the band. That was probably in the top 5 of concerts I've seen over the course of my life.

back in 71 i was 19, living in a commune in Saint Augustine FL. and Jethro Tull 's Aqualung play all day long, every day. still love those songs

An amazingly talented, intelligent band. Blues,rock,folk,jazz......are all incorporated into JT. The albums "Songs from the Wood" and "Heavy Horses" are masterpieces. Full of historic and dare I say it, pagan myth and mirth. Having said that,everything they have ever done is amazing. Completely unique .......🤟👍 .

Bright Angel God bless you. Glad you enjoyed the Jethro Tull Medvieal Menstrel Vibe. A medieval minstrel was an entertainer who sang songs, played musical instruments, and sometimes performed other skills like juggling, acrobatics, storytelling, or magic. Jethro Tull brings all that and more. Thanks for the wonderful reaction and all the hard work you do to bring us some fun and joy.

This is my favorite of his. The studio version has a stronger polish (though still plenty of chaotic energy!) - the lyrics are definitely powerful.

I love how a younger generation is revisiting bands of the 60s and 70s. Tull crossed my bow in 1972, even though they started releasing albums in the late 60s.

Oh!! Best concert ever!!! Ian takes over that stage and he doesn't stop until it's over. You just sit there in awe of him and the band. Oh and God bless you!

Not much to say about Ian Anderson and his band that hasn't been said already. This is one of their best. Brilliant.

Ian Anderson and Martin Barre (Guitar) were in a dirty restroom just before a show, Ian used his left foot to lift up the toilet seat to pee, Martin said…. Can you stand on one foot through an entire song?. Ian said he will give it a go. While doing it on stage several photos were taken and it soon became a famous pose and band Logo.

Locomotive Breath was the first song I ever sang for karaoke 🤣. I saw them in concert and the first half was completely acoustic, the second half was electric. Fucking amazing.

In the 90s, JT came to Kitchener, Ontario and played at Lulu's, a huge nightclub (that is now no more). This was before smoking laws and that night, the event was a special non-smoking event. Ian thanked the audience for their consideration, explaining, "I have to take ten breaths for every one of yours." When you watch him play, you know what he means.

Britt the Beautiful always gets so animated when she stumbles a great tune. Gives me the warmies.

Bless You! and again

And they do it for two hours in concert. Saw them 3 times, all great shows. Love your reactions dear.

This was a central element of our college parties in late 70’s. This and Queen’s ‘ Tie Your Mother Down’.

Locomotive Sneeze. Have been enjoying your reactions the last few weeks, and now you're doing my all time fave, Jethro Tull. Too cool.. The intro here is different than the iconic album one, and that's why the crowd erupts just after it ends. Because now they recognize that it's Locomotive Breath, which they undoubtedly love and know every word. Also, Ian is always throwing in little pieces of brilliance that say a lot in a few words. Here I particularly like "He picks up Gideon's Bible, open at page one". Yeah, right. Now that life is going completely to hell, with no way to slow down, maybe begin think about God as a possible way out. IOW, a different way of expressing the "There are no atheists in foxholes" idea.
