I'm a flutist and this is my first time watching and listening to Jethro Tull perform Thick as a Brick live at Madison Square Garden 1978. I'm really getting interested in his style and can't wait to see more! As a flutist, I'm only including the flute parts as on the video, even though I listened to the whole video.

Watch me play some Jethro Tull:    • Jethro Tull From Beginner to Pro: 5 L...  

ALL OF MY JETHRO TULL REACTIONS:    • Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson reactions  

This was my most requested reaction so I decided to do it right away! I'm kinda shocked what the flute had to go through haha! First I thought it was mic or cable or something but urrrrh..

    the mistake we flutists tend to make about Ian Anderson is to compare him to anything we do...he is simply using the flute to express himself in a unique style
  • @bryanburton6087
    Your concern for the flute was adorable. Don't worry. It's a rock and roll flute and chose that lifestyle. Peace
  • @drazj
    It's 1978 folks, they sounded better than 90% of bands today. Just pure, raw musicianship ,and couple of amplifiers.
  • Ian Anderson was self taught and was later schooled by his own daughter who was classically trained. He did some amazing things because he was never told that he couldn’t or shouldn’t. He put on quite a show.
  • @johnroberts3723
    Jethro tull, the sort of band that gets your dad shouting up the stairs to turn the music up!.
  • Her: I feel bad for the flute. Flute: More fun than any flute has ever had on stage.
  • @danperry3116
    He uses the flute to its full potential. Ian gets sounds from a flute that many trained players don't even know are there
  • @jalo5855
    Heline's facial expressions are priceless. Ian Anderson is a true artist and unique in the rock era like Hendrix on Guitar, Entwhistle on Bass, Manzarek on Keyboards or Bonham on drums. You hear them play a song you've never heard before and you recognize their genius. This music is timeless.
  • @alanshapiro5669
    To hear a classically trained player say, "that's new....I never knew..." is thrilling when critiquing Ian Anderson.
  • @Boodieman72
    The flute is having way more fun that its classically played friends.
  • @OTOss8
    The only man to ever enter and win a battle of the bands wielding a flute drawn from the scabbard at his side. Ian Anderson gives a perfect demonstration here that the only limitations on an instrument are the ones that you place on it.
  • @markallen381
    Showmanship is often not musicianship. His musicianship and what he brought to the table of music is a dish never dreamed of until he arrived.
  • @ferinstance01
    He's a musical genius. I've been a fan for 50 years. I've seen him in concert and never once was a flute harmed in any way. lol
  • @CuzKatieSaysSo
    Ian Anderson was a modern day bard and jester. How he played the flute was imaginary and Ian was one of a kind. Thick as a Brick is a Treasure.
  • @cbrown8814
    This song, this band, this man... it brings tears to my eyes when I hear Thick As A Brick... the arrangement, the progression, the build, it blows my mind!!
  • @jimk5158
    such commentings on JT give me so much pleasure since they remind me my own feelings when first I discovered Tull ❤ when you go Tull you never go back!
  • Heline's suprise "Huh. I never tried that before." Is a beautiful moment for any musician.
  • @johnbogusz8090
    After 50+ years, I still can't get enough of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull.
  • @jefflaporte2598
    His flute is just part of the show. He is such an amazing artist that he got hard core rock and rollers listening to the flute and enjoying every minute of it. :).
  • @kevinbaker6168
    I enjoy watching you analyzing his work. You find, as an instructor and classically artist, somethings to be critical of his technic, but then you get blown away by his performance. Welcome to the experience of listening to Jehtro Tull.
