They just don’t make them like this anymore! So grateful to have grown up during an era of such brilliant music.

I'm 68 years old and have been listening to Jethro Tull since I was 16. I'd love to shake Ian Anderson's hand for all that he's done for us. He's the reason I set out to learn the flute, which I still play.

Saw them in Sydney 1970s, they shuffled on stage dressed as caretakers sweeping the stage, while the audience obliviously chatted. Throwing off the dustcoats they went straight into 'Aqualung', stunned audience, stunning gig, stunning band!

74 year old black man here. Saw JT Band several times in L.A. area in the 70’s. Absolutely terrific. Very talented, great showmen and tight.

I'm 60 and grew up with this music. Never will there be anything like it. I was watching some videos on beat boxing and there was a guy beat boxing on a flute. Had to comment on the video stating that Ian Anderson did a kind of beat box in the 70's.

70 years old and this music still takes me to another dimension the same way it did when I was 17.

If anyone tried leading a rock band with a flute today they couldn't do it without dripping with irony
And here these guys are, absolutely killing it, completely sincere with no irony, and one of the best bands in the history of rock.

[peterhulme]

Brilliant showman !! Jethro Tull up amongst the greats !! !

[garymarino]

I’ve enjoyed Tull since the early 70s. Today at 65. I still enjoy this band. Always will.

[mitchellglaser]

It’s kind of frightening how many things Ian Anderson is really really good at.

[dennispetzold]

Every generation should be amazed at this.

[rslooby]

I played flute in high school and everyone would ask me if I could play Jethro Tull. Ian made flute so cool!

[samuelecallegari]

This is probably one of the best live footage from Tull!

[thunderballer]

See this is what kind of bands I want to see, no fireworks, no lights, just classic rock and roll. Wish I could’ve been there✊

[Doctor.T.]

Saw them in the UK, many times. To say they are brilliant is an understatement. Ian Anderson has a skill that is unmatched. I'm having too old to rock and roll, too young to die as my funeral music...family not too happy with that.

[chrismaynarduk]

Still listening to Jethro Tull at the age of 62 and appreciate them all the more from playing all those fantastic LPs over again. Brilliant band and fantastic live performers.

Im 52 years old and literally grew up on this music. Tell my wife all the time this genre of music with bands like Jethro Tull was the closest we, the modern world, ever came to the likes of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc. this classic rock music is so important to the history of music itself that there aren't words. Just watch a performance such as this and tell me otherwise. Prodigious. The song Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead is another example of this. There are far too many to count.

[swelch]

I’m 17 and this is incredible! I am into the classic rock music from the 60s and 70s and this definitely hits my wheelhouse! Truly amazing! Rock on everyone! 🤘🏻🎸

[Phil]

Best frontman ever. Best band ever. This lineup, phenomenal. A tight and talented band at its absolute peak.
We'll never see the like again but so grateful we have the legacy.

[lefldjl]

One of the most distinctive voices of all popular music
