I think this is the worst song I have ever heard in my whole entire life.

Well, that, or you are deeply troubled.
Who else plays Rock n Roll flute like that!
There's a Ukrainian band called 'Firelake".
Not quite rock n roll, but i enjoy their sound.
Good luck in finding a band from the last 30 years...that would even try songs like this.
Back in the1970s...all kinds of bands were trying.
Ayreon, Nightwish, and some others.
They're out there, you just gotta hunt for them.
damm…. Takes me back to the night I was privileged to experience this tune performed live when Jethro Tull opened for Jimmi Hendrix. Perhaps one of the most memorable concerts I ever attended.
You lucky duck. I wish that I could have been there too!
Back in the1970s...all kinds of bands were trying.
And yet now, thanks to Jack Black and Tenacious D, I hear this and think
"This is Bach, and it rocks,
it's a rock block of Bach".
My world has been warped beyond control.
this is a very good album
We are an established brand serving the customers for years and have earned a brand name in the market with a positive word of mouth from our existing loyal customers.
Ques qe se?
Bach still rocks and always will.
His French and English are like Chinese water torture to me.
Their first 4 albums (like this one) were ground breaking as well as catchy pop rock tunes.
A travesty!
Sorry. Every time.
Hahaha!
These guys live in the late 60's and early 70's were unbelievably good, a force or nature. I saw them at Fillmore East a time or two (memory's fading unfortunately) and larger venues later, always great!
Saw them in 1975 They played ALL of Thick as Brick. Simply amazing.
On one hand, I was born too late because I'd have loved to go through my formative years listening to this, but then again my father made sure to buy CD's (I'm a millennial) of evergreens, Eric Clapton, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Harry Belafonte etc. which I all listened to on repeat, so it was a pretty good childhood/teenage years, after all.
And now I have an opportunity to bring the music of Jethro Tull (and a LOT of otehr different bands and artists of that era, thanks to Radio Paradise) to my dad and we can appreciate it together, which is neat.
So thanks Bill and Becca, you guys are doing God's work!
Sorry. Every time.
Too true.
And of course, thanks to Will and Christopher W, Don't Fear the Reaper will never be quite the same, either. ; )
Git you little twits!
Sorry. Every time.
Oh no! That's too bad. Lol
Who else plays Rock n Roll flute like that!
Heavy Metal flute, according to the Grammys.
Sorry. Every time.
Loooooooooooool i just thought the same ^^
Why Jethro Tull is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame completely baffles me.
Is that you, Kcin Regnad? I haven't heard from you for ages. How's the sleazy private eye business?
GLENN CORNICK on BASS
The Tull one on the left.
He is the guy standing next to Pink.
Are your speaker-sides switched, or are mine? Flute and drums are on the right (at least toward the end of the song, when I read your comment)
I do the bulk of my listening with near field monitors in my studio as well. At least for the past 10 or so years. I sit about two feet away from them. Hear things that I only hear for the first time on them anymore. Of course once something is heard you do not unhear it. Has enhanced my listening experience on everything else.
For deep listening, I'll turn the monitor off and the room lights down and sit in that sweet spot. Makes everything better. Better than headphones, imho.
And this song has been a 10 for me since it was brand new by Tull.
Cheers !

I love to whistle but think it annoys some folk. Is this why I enjoy it? hahaha it is joyful
Say no more, say no more.
You nailed it. great comment.
This is one of the pieces that follow me around thru the corridors of time. A musical back-drop to my average everyday existence. I suppose there are worse things?

Sorry. Every time.
Don`t be, it`s funny . It takes nothing from this great song.
I just paused the song and watched the video:"Classical flutist reacts to Jethro Tull"
I was about to post this!
Anderson is such a crazy yet talented musician!
The rules clearly state that to be inducted, flautists in nominated bands must stand on both feet while playing.
It is crazy, but the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a private enterprise essentially run by Jann Wenner, Dave Marsh, and Susan Evans - none of whom are musicians. The inductees are seldom more than their personal tastes and they run it as an enterprise; they have no public mandate.
and Steve Miller has some critical things to say about it...https://soundcloud.com/howards...
at impossibly loud volume!!!!
You bet! ...FLAC, great headphones, amplifier & DAC really make this shine!
I once got a new Klirra Bass guitar, that I saw and spotted behind grennish Glas displayed in a musicstore 16 years oldk
Still dreamin about it
• I asked my parents
• Thee old sinners, waited until x-mass.
• an older Radio served au 4 amplifier,
• One of us played square Fluet, the old Locomotiv Breath the
• other one played Drum,
• Perplexed high expectation to start with Jethro Tull boré.staccato! 🧂🕴
Why anyone cares about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - a hobby of Jann Wenner where the clandestine nomination process is controlled entirely by non-musicians - baffles me.
Although I've never had the chance to see Ian/Tull, imo, don't believe he/they could ever do a BAD show!! Love that flute work!!
I was introduced to Tull when Aqualung came out in 1971 - I was 11. I've seen Tull 14 times, starting with the Stormwatch tour in 79, and last in 2010... when I swore that was the last time as Anderson's voice was completely shot. Very sad. That said, I'd absolutely go see him do his instrumental work (Divinities is a sublime album) and I wish I'd seen the project he did a few years back with different vocalists taking on the "character roles" for various songs from across the years.

sounds like you need to listen to MORE music then

(For the benefit of those of you who don't hail from the UK "Desert Island Discs" is a radio programme where celebrities chose a short list of recordings to take to a desert island. It's been going for many years and is a bit of an institution over here - but we're odd like that).
I have the BBC iPlayer and that is one of the programs I listen too

IKR wish I could hear on RP too old to rock and roll
Undoubtedly sarcasm. Too well hidden.
The Tull one on the left.
Except when it swaps around. Flute starts on right, goes to left, goes back to right. I think 'classical flute' is on the right and 'jazzy flute' is on the left.
At some times you get two different flutes - one on the right and one on the left (obviously not in live performances though).
My rating: 9 - OUTSTANDING
<fooofwwoofwofwofwoo> "Mmm."
Please play "Used to Know".
Great practice piece. EADG in full song.
Greetings, Highlow! And thanks for giving me the mental "image" - which seems to have wormed its way into my brain enough so that I'm also finding myself whistling this tune too. So...just for that...I'll go 8→9 cuz this track is fine. Long Live RP!!
Yep...part of the never ending sound-track of (my) life. Though in all honesty I probably maul it a bit when walking along whistling it. But that's the beauty of that internal soundtrack isn't it? It all sounds, between yer ears, like it's Carnegie Hall! Heh!

There's a flute? Oh yeah, just noticed. I was mainly listening to the bass. I always thought of this as a lead-bass song.
Sorry. Every time.
