[Baseball78ful]

A modern day Mozart.Musical genius who never took a lesson learning a single note on ANY instrument he has ever played.Gets better with age (musically)!

[blubfischy]

I play flute more than 12 years ...I love ...my music and i Love to play it like this =)

[dmvu]

Learning to play the flute well is very difficult dudes.

[xzysyndrome]

@dmvu as soon as I figure out how to make a sound...I shall prove you wrong!!! ;-)

[tobalus]

Ian Anderson es único. Después de tantos años sigue siendo un genio. Recuerdo los primeros conciertos que vi de él, la mirada de loco y los saltos por el escenario. Un completo juglar del Rock.

[sieberharald]

Voll toll

spielt voll cool!!!!!!!

[sysrq120]

Superb

[camposi]

Was für eine schöne Kirche. UInd ein so wunderbares Umfeld1! Ich habe desöfteren nachts davon geträumt daß ich stinkreich bin und zu meinem Geburtstag Jethro Tull spielt! Living in the past - halt!

[sebas5851]

I am 17 years old and I think the same thimg of you

[Bounasieau]

I'm amazed... I think I could listen to this kind of music in my whole life! (and I'm only 16 years old)

[keepnpeace]

The first album I ever bought was Stand Up, saved my allowance and baby sitting money just for that album!

[blazehok]

Bravo Ian Anderson for bringing popular and classical music together like no one else can.

[gardo105]

ian anderson is funny.. when he performs..

[Woundheir]

I remember when I was a kid, like when I was ten, I was into The Ramones, ACDC, etc, and always said that I didn´t like Jethro Tull. My father would tell me that I was going to like it when I was older. Now I´m 26 and I love them and my father is no longer with us and everytime I listen to J-Tull or Ian playing it reminds me of all the good times we had.

Thanks for uploading, awesome performance.

[photog645]

Awesome to see him in this setting at this age still using some of the techniques from before. I'm not a huge fan, but I've been known to do a little bit of this kinda playing to mess around. Everybody likes to ask if I've heard Jethro Tull...

[uncleambient]

Ian is a living legnd !!

Bloody good bass player here also (David Goodier) :)

[9051h]

This is awesome the beautiful ann marie calhoun with the extrovert performer Anderson superb.

[MrRockeur]

I love this Video it' s very cool =D

[MasterWitchDoctor]

if Mozart was alive today he'd be named Ian Anderson. Does the magic flute ring a bell? Ian Anderson certainly plays one.

[zcguitar]

some funky bach lol

[zcguitar]

he looks like he would make a riot of a band director, tho i also like ms. Reck (my highschool band director)

[smoothedge69]

He doesn't sing very well anymore, though. He does that weird up and down thing with the mic. He should just sing into it.

[fluoride9]

Che figa la violinista!

[sgargagugu]

@fluoride9 si vede che siamo italiani XD ahah

[612franklin]

That's My Master

[ZakTheThrash]

this makes me want to play the flute

[RCWorks]

Great video, Ian Anderson only improves with age.

[PaulLinn]

A rare treat to see this track being performed by the great Jethro Tull. My main comment is that the older Ian Anderson gets, the more attarctive he looks. I'm smitten. A real man is a rare thing to behold.

[maxram868]

bravooo brother....

[el5mer]

Cojoneeeeeeeee!! que descaro de este guey!!

[MusicBeSweetYo]

haha he does his f#'s the same as me. with the middle finger key instead of the ring finger. horrible habit...

[pjotr60dvd]

@MusicBeSweetYo I'm not sure this is a horrible habit.I took some flute lessons and that's how they taught me...

[MusicBeSweetYo]

@pjotr60dvd well if you listen to both the one with the middle finger is out of tune. when you play professional, especially with others, its a bad habit to get into. ian anderson is just that awesome I guess cause he pulled it off lol.

[pjotr60dvd]

@MusicBeSweetYo OK, I guess you are right, maybe I forgot about how I learned it 25 years ago. I don't hear a lot of difference though, guess I compensate with the embouchure...

[photog645]

@MusicBeSweetYo Depending on how you use it, it's not too bad. I know at least on sax it's fingered that was as the main fingering. On flute, I would say it's generally fine to use when ever it's easier. That said, I'm largely talking about quicker passages. I've seen videos of James Galway (large name flutist) playing some F#s with middle finger. If it's in tune or you can't notice it, I say why not?

[XGuagniFlautoX]

allora lui è semplicemente un mito nn c'è che dire

[railfreek]

I just saw Tull at the PNC. MY 12 year old son is an avid fan of Ian. I'd love to mee Ian, even if it's for one minute and tell him what an influence he is on kids today.

[MIguemex95]

he doesn't need the orchesta to play so awesome.

I bet he would give a great concert by himself!!!

[RuudJH]

this guy tells stories with his flute.

[TeaOnTheGuganSlav]

violinist Ann Marie Calhoun?

[olivierquot]

@TeaOnTheGuganSlav  I think so.

[STYXfAn1234]

I LOVE THE SOUND OF A FLUTE!!!!I LOVE MY FLUTE its a capital edition Jupiter very pretty

[3113jp]

Ian would look so Tull'ish with the hair the conductor was sporting...LOL

[timopod5]

whats the name of the first song

[mistie710]

Shame about his voice but then he has done a hell of a lot over the years and he is in a damn sight better shape than some of his contemporaries. The flute, though, still great after all these years!

[juandanielamigo]

arrepiante! extaciante!catarse!!!

[fankuin]

awesome really :) to see this in a german television station makes me feel happy

(sy for bad english, i´m german :))

[aniagniech]

wonder

[juanmajmam]

1:56 The blonde violinist forgets to play haha

[polinetita]

FANTASTICO video, musica....

[holaskin]

la media produccion

genial

es muy formal eso si

[dnarosso]

Thanks Ian for all the emotions that you have given me in these forty years, and that you still give me.

I think that in your head in your thought there is a part of god!

From Italy

[uzull76]

Favoloso..........

[bandnerd1548]

Ian Anderson is a God!!!!! He's actually the reason I became a flute player =)

[Bornlivedie3]

Same

[asu05tbone]

he is great but please dont use GODS name in vein...

[bandnerd1548]

if i offended u, i am sorry, that was not my intention. i was simply expressing my opinion that he is god-like in his talents as a flute player and that his gift clearly comes from god. and a side note for future advice, i understand that everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to express them but not everyone is of the same belief system as you and for some implying that using god in reference to something of beauty is wrong may offend someone of a different belief system than you

[asu05tbone]

lol. i was just playing man. im really not that religious. i believe in GOD but its not that serious. no hard feelings buddy...

[robertobaguilar]

Wake up, If your God is real, he can look into our hearts and see the truth. bandnerd1548 appreciates Ian as a musician. You're being ignorant to that and to your God. HE knew where the comment was coming from. Can't you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit begging you to shut up?

[asu05tbone]

boy shut up. I said i was just playing. calm your nerves...

[studioROT]

..people, what have you done? - locked him in golden gage...

Oh, and: ...Ian, hand me that bottle will you?

Just quoting from the gospel of Tull.

[callergrim]

@bandnerd1548

Hehe, same reason for me! 

[anarkigr]

@callergrim

Same here :P

[DrummerGuns12]

@bandnerd1548  man same here

[gratmaleezie]

@bandnerd1548

He makes me wish I would of stuck with it as a child. To bad I didn't know his work then.

[viewmore100]

@gratmaleezie Drugs ?

[TrollFredrik]

@bandnerd1548

He's the reason I want to become a flute player.

[raydenthetullgod]

@bandnerd1548 Me too!!!

[illuminatis007]

@bandnerd1548 actually bernie..Ian is a mere mortal like the rest of us, however, her is a very talented mortal...

:-)

[tshaasgmail]

magnifico.....

[hadronfly]

it's pretty sad really, I like Ian Anderson but all that's missing here to top it are some muppets...

[babusca3]

fantasctico!!!!! sei sempre un mito!!!!!!!!

[peter2360]

That's it? just call it pathetic and leave it at that.

You must have a huge social network.

[raggajones12]

huh?

[polinetita]

Non Ho Parole. GRAZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boenairgeez]

wonderfull

[ArdainQ]

haha maybe xD Nice music!

[NovelWhoop]

He´s a litle bit crazy, but his playing is excelent.. :)

[hugodraslik]

Not crazy, he´s rocker...

[aerosmithfan7494]

i am named after him my middle name is ean my dad loved him and so do i

[fifo717]

rexicano you dont know what music really is ...

[peacepeople3737]

Thanks so much for posting.

[Kramiour]

He never took drugs. And this sounds great.

[GrassiMax]

Che emozione

[0ua8]

Wow,that was excellent,i'd never listen to that kind of stuff if tull and calhoun,(violin) weren't playing on it.They really energise the music.

[holyman668]

hes like beethoven but 1000 times cooler omg hes sooo awsome! also his playing is 100% awsome isnt boring i uselly think of classical or orchastral music as boring but this uhhh makes me think wrong this is the best i have heard within all years of my life i havent heard anything better!

[hmoy24677]

I just love Anderson´s charisma on stage.

[oscar46147]

por este wey toco la flauta gracias ian anderson por mostrarme el camino

[KingHellstrings]

Mistake at 3:06 !

[mortson978]

I firmly believe that without the innovation of JS Bach, rock and roll would not exist as it does today.

[maaaaawlin]

AWESOME!

[HernanZitoZin]

Ian Anderson é um gênio!

[kingbluebaloo]

u r the master

[kingbluebaloo]

old man you are still rocking

[LordGarvals]

Ian Anderson is the best.... )8-0

[Semente200]

Funny that he´s never stoped playing F sharp using the right middle finger

[Ash1955]

True but it works OK. I have to admit I do both ways.

[PSIKHEdesign]

<3 uauuuuuu!!!

[torbakk2]

Great..except from the idiot with the guitar

[terrivee]

That was GREAT...where did you find this?

[DasGoeck]

Ian is a god and he will be eternally honoured..

did you guys knew that he was able to play nearly all known instruments of rock and other genres

from flute over guitar / bass

to mandoline and so on...what a talent..

[asnierkishcowboy]

about a half year ago there was a title story about tull in some rockmag.i red that ian was just playn flute for some weeks when they had thier first live appearance.but well he made it well :)

[FightingPolygonTeam]

everything he plays is so musical. He isn't just playing. I have been to masters classes where music majors would play something that i thought was awesome, and the person with their doctorite would tear them apart. "I've heard so much, but not a bit of it was music." now i know what that means.

[snaebjorn53]

Just Fantastic!!

[oldmanfunk]

Looks like Uncle Ted on the guitar caressing his Strat?

[camelandu2]

Strat? Are you mad? That's a Les Paul. Hard to say whether it's a Gibson or a fake though.

[LePoof]

Amazing. The guy is a God.

[elgattopardo]

Este tio nunca pierde la magia... Oja regresen nuevamente por esta parte del continente sudamericano...

Jethro Tull x100pre...!!!

[lihplom]

Whether Mr. Anderson is a superior musicial or not is hard to tell. What shows through is his willingness to enjoy himself and his music.

I saw the Moody Blues with a local orchestra. Once they started a hit song the audience would go nuts. Half the orchestra was virtually angry in their expression, the other half really enjoyed the appreciation. Guess which half played better?

Here, Ian is not only enjoying himself, but he knows he's putting on a show, not making some stuffy elevator music!

[plattform5163]

Thanks for sharing this very nice video!

[shade9005]

Fantastic

[leathercase]

THIS IS SOOOO MUCH FUN! Entertainment at its best, in the opinion of this vocalist/flute performance major. :D

[camelandu2]

Is it just me or does Ian play MUCH better than any of those other guys? Maybe except for the bassist? Really nice this, love it! Thanks for posting!

[mmcoopstar]

omg....i loved it....fantastic :)

[ivanmenkin]

классное видео просто обалдеть можно от его игры

[kingofpie102]

this souns great

[Lieberman78]

Geweldig!

[ahagestedt]

anderson had some throat illness back in the 80's, which took him a year or two to get over. And his voice was never the same. It's entirely possible the throat stuff he did while playing messed him up. It nearly did me (i'm a tull flute/vocal disciple).

and his technique has vastly improved in recent decades. He took lessons. well documented. Interesting change for a consistant genius.

[ATinyStormInYourTeaC]

Great

[AnnairaNyx]

Ian sei sempre un mito!!!!! (mia cugina vuole che questo commento sia anche da parte sua!)

[raggajones12]

I think his voice still sounds very cool. I mean give they guy a break. He's been singing for over forty goddamn years.

[JimmyBoneJakon]

Amen!

[RamatusOliveira]

Ian is great! very good performance!

Cheers

[atzebrechsau]

you nonsense-guys! this is just commercial. shit music for old white people (i am white by the way) who want to count: 1, 2, 3, 4.

ian did much better things. this is cruel

[shisha86]

come on, it hasn´t to be excentric all the time, this concert is quite good in my opinion and who can blame Anderson that he wants to make money? And apart from that "good" or "shit music" is always a subjective matter - this is a good background music and that´s what counts

[Aqualung71]

That is a good point, people don't like a little sophistication. It bores their short attention spans. But whatever. I think this is just as eccentric as any other Tull performance by the way. If not more if you ask me.

[Kuchenwurst]

0:40 to 0:46 is priceless!

Such musical genius. Truly unique.

[alvladtair]

It's just awesome, there's no more words

[FusilliJerry89]

fuck this is awesome. He's like a present day Beethoven.

[MasterWitchDoctor]

@FusilliJerry89 Someone asked me once: "can you imagine if Mozart was alive today what kind of music he'd be making?" I said yes I can and he is alive today, his name is Ian Anderson and his band is now called Jethro Tull. Pay close attention to both of their sounds and styles. Listen closely to the magic flute. If there is reincarnation Ian Anderson is no doubt the same guy. All their music are stories and they're both rackenterons

[MasterWitchDoctor]

@MasterWitchDoctor Raconteurs" sorry I misspelled that.

[lasociedadloka]

se parece a lafauci

[juanchotala]

Muy certada apreciación!!! jajajaj  pondrá la misma cara de orto cuando no está tocando?

[kataztr0fe]

to hell with the audience

[thepiper75]

anche allo zio ian gli si inceppano le dita..... però rimane un grande!!!

[deJaELVICIO7]

Esto es musica de Verdad!!!!1

[Landen1185]

The Girl with the violin, next to Him, isn't that Lucia Micarelli?

[badumpy]

yes sir

[tigerbayuk]

no its catherine zeta jones

[UC7media]

No, it's William F. Buckley

[StogieBogie]

Ian the true player, Very well done!

Gods Speed! Great album, I have it. Nice to sleep too!

[virtualiss22]

ian ti adoro

[andreneukens]

Great Ian so thick as a brick

[lucamcosta]

o cara é fera..

[katanagari7c1]

He has not the voice nor the energy that in the '70s but he's still in pretty good shape. :)

That was on a TV show? or it is from a dvd?

[maestroabraham]

the voice is gone but the energy?.. not so!

[callergrim]

I don't think his voice is gone.

Maybe his voice is not so good like 40/30 years ago but it's still good.

[UC7media]

I say he's on his last leg

( ba dum tish )

[dfowler1976]

why do you say that? He's a healthy guy

[UC7media]

His voice is on it's last leg (rimshot), but his playing is the best it's ever been.

[Gynacord]

IN my early days, when I started "eating" Tull (1968), I was told by a classic flutist that Ian's great flute and tremendous double-treble-tone-humming, will cause him big problems. IN fact I noticed that when I saw them on they 25th annicersary party in Dortmund Westfalen Park, when they had to cover the drum kit behind plexiglass walls. His voice has lost a lot of strength. And by the way, he's over 60 years now. Still a very healthy chap, though. I wish I could do the same job at that age.

[lizaelliot]

My guess is that years of chain smoking probably didn't help his voice either.

I must say, he looks better for his age now than he did 30 years ago, if album covers are to be trusted. I hope I have his energy in my 60s.

[yogaman1919]

not to mention the throat surgery he had back in the early 80s. and even given that, he still sounds damn good. better than me, i sound like a wet piece of liver smacking a tree when i sing. lol.

[Faltzwig]

@Gynacord Forgive me asking, but what is "double-treble-tone-humming"?

[Gynacord]

@Faltzwig - ... now, this is my personal expression for playing flute and humming along in different notes using the vocal chords in a "non-classical" manor. At least that was the classical flutist's explanation, whilst I was adoring this kind of playing. The weakening of Ian's voice may, however, also be a side affect of tremendous chain smoking. :-))

[Faltzwig]

@Gynacord Ohh, singing into your flute. I don't know; when I hear the term "classical" being thrown at everything relating to music, I just think of people that are way too conservative with how things are done. People need to let others experiment and innovate; that's what truly making music is about, in my opinion. I admire musician's that provide their own interpretation rather than playing the sheet music verbatim. Oh well. :(

[Gynacord]

@Faltzwig - you're perfectly right. We'd probably still think Bach and Mozart, if there was no inventiveness of musicians like Ian Anderson and a lot more, who create music by their God given assets. Still that does not hinder me to say, Anderson has already become a classical musician during his lifetime, as his music will still be great to listen to in say 200+ years, if mankind is still able to listen to good music at all.

[evlmille]

oh shut up idiot
