Jethro tull Cross eyed mary live 1976

[dictator54]

All yu assholes that dispute the fact that tull really only had one good alblum put yur mouth were yur ass is and name the so called other alblums that yu think are up to par

[dictator54]

@rusrockt10 well if yu actually think they did anything else that was good put them up ,o wait yu can't do it so shut to fuk up

[ScienceFecality]

I was about to fall asleep after a really long and frustrating day, but then I decided to put the "Aqualung" album on my stereo and I couldn't be more awake. Unbelievable album from an unbelievable band.

[420Rokn]

All the best music is from England!

[dictator54]

hate to burst anyone's bubble but tull only had one good alblum and your liostenin to it bungle in the jungle was there only other good tune so as far as kickin led zep's ass i don't think so, and i'm no spring chicken

[rusrockt10]

@dictator54 hahahaha, oh wait, you actually think that? I'm sorry. I pity you.

[badumpy]

@dictator54 only one good album?..just in that statement alone you show ignorance...you are dismissed

[420Rokn]

He looks like a really cool guy. I'd like to have a beer with him. Won't happen though.

[420Rokn]

Do any other bands out there include the flute? NO! Because then they'd be competing with Jethro. That isn't so smart :]

[happyenjoytime]

This is my bread and butter! Pizza sucks!!!

[aintskeerd69]

I saw them in concert in Aug. of "69 with Led Zeppelin ( yep, I'm old ) The ticket was 5 bucks & Tull kicked LZ's ass. Ian rocks !!

[toniko88]

@aintskeerd69 I really hate you man, born in 1988 you know..

[Turdbuckethat]

My God that was awesome!!!!!

[chuckls]

J.T. is one of the greatest bands ever!!!

[dictator54]

Was pretty lucky to be born in early 50's 60's 70's and even the 80's were all good decades for rock mid 90's started the big slide into this thing they call rap what a fuked up art form

[destoo0]

@dictator54 And this is exactly what people who were born in the early thirties said about the 70's and 80's!!

Put that cane down, we're getting off your lawn, old man.

[Idontlikereligion]

@dictator54

yea, what a lucky guy you are! i was born in the late 80's and now it is not possible to listen to music before that time anymore. we are the unlucky generation

[loni50otter]

Tull rules!

[jonnyb69able]

such a strong core! tull were amazingly unique.

[blica1]

"rats" being all the human vermin, such as all law enforcement agencies, politicians, corporate war mongers, multi-national big money corporations,all the banking families, the monarchies and dictators, and financial institutions of the world, then we'd be all set..

[blica1]

i think that Ian Anderson is the original Pied Piper of Hamelin ! now if only it was possible to lead all the "rats" from society with a phenomenal groove and fantastic flute soloing, then the world would be a much better place !

[SergejPels]

Undoubtedly one of TOP-10 Rock-n-Roll song !!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

piperat the gatesof 2012

/watch?v=Thgec54yH2o

occupy this.

[chicagocumpa]

i'm convinced this was one of the first hard rock songs, especially with a flute, it's pretty damn heavy

[P0RN0TR0N1C]

just... WOW!!! O_o

[Flaggius]

One of the best bands of all time, so amazing to listen to! Ian is a genius! And Barre, omfg!

[misfestive]

OMG!

[punki1697]

GANADORES DE GRAMMY

[pentecostbrian]

[dannyallvey79]

Awesome!



[blackvivienne]

:)))

[riffz0r]

tull > zeppelin

[cutusa]

@riffz0r ..I really don't know how to feel about this.. I was about to put 'thumbs up' and the I said.. man.. I don't kknow..

[Guilhermeirons]

@riffz0r No way.And zeppelin isn't better than tull.Both are pretty good.

[kimoozabee]

This man is musically the biggest inspiration to me, just saying =)

[ianboonmusic]

excellent

[mojorsn2]

i loved watching him jump from a hot air balloon on to the stage jamming on that flute wearing bright ass thights,or was it the orange sunshine,lol great memorys

[disconcertedd]

Tull is GOD!

[mencimer]

awsome

[suzys11]

Thank God I was alive to hear them (in Germany) from "Stand Up" on!

[TheNickelDrummer]

Today is August 20th 2011 this video has 14 dislikes. I feel sorry for 14 people who walk somewhere on this earth. They have no soul.

[sinfosonata]

@TheNickelDrummer Forgive them , they are either retarded or read ' DIS I LIKE'

[mencimer]

@TheNickelDrummer u got that right.

[yankeerebel64]

Who cares if its off.. Great Tune Long Live The 70's !

[dcsaint7]

This has always been one of my favorite Tull songs - from my favorite album from the band.

I never got to see them in the States, but when I hitch-hiked around Europe in 1978 I got to see them in the Tower Theatre in London England.

It was one of the best shows I ever saw - even unto this day.

[segimoveisfred]

looks like that coldplay(sic singer... maybe hes ian son



[RonHamersma]

absolutely ....... just fucking great!

[71garron]

i seen 2 tull gigs but they never played this. but his is an awesome track. get in Ian.

[guitarslinger48]

During my life I've been to well over 300 concerts and hands down the greatest concert I have ever been to was Jethro Tull.

[askelvis27]

Now a converted tull fan i wish i was born 30 years earlier so i could enjoy this in its peak

[MsLibramoon]

@askelvis27 I was born 30 years prior, and have enjoyed every step of the way. Tull rocks!!!

[askelvis27]

@MsLibramoon

Nice one



[bola151076]

this is amazing song!!!!!!!! pau no cu do surdo

[green3825]

The keyboardist is having a ball watching Ian.

[green3825]

MAREEEEEY!

[Luarrangel]

So great and peculiar.Best band ever!!

[JIMGLAIREFABIANA]

i love iaann

[asdffdsa9]

@JIMGLAIREFABIANA

Why?

Oh, you're talking about the Ian on this video....I thought you were talking about someone else

[ramakrishna31459]

tull have their place with all the greats ---top rockin bands of all time

[ramakrishna31459]

Brings back memories---

[larry4011]

this is fucking awsome

[doneaster]

Yes, the bands of the past had to know music theory, scales and chord structure very well to produce the good music. A lot of the bands today don't know even the basics and produce a lot of garbage.

[Luarrangel]

awesome!!Tull is 1 of a kind!!

[blica1]

Hey Mr. Anderson, if you ever tour again and need a drummer, look no further..i'm in Canada, but i will fly to England and play for you and your band !

[buyandby]

@blica1 Dude they are touring as we speak! BTW no one other than Ian anderson does the talking or humming through his flute! As doneaster says they had to know music and there wasn't much help from electronics, mostly they had the Leslie, and wawah peddles, as most of the electronics they had as tools. So they weer very creative. That's what all the mind expanding weas for, to figure such things out. Well thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

[justaman6972]

not only will this band;s music KILL all the fake people out there, but you get vocabulary lessons too. I'm willing to wager Lance Armstrong's only testy,without his leave of course, that less than 5% of the population even knows what a jacknife barber is.Not w/o searching anyway. Hint..he'd have a blood stained wire coat hanger in hand. Amazing truly amazing!

[77DissidentAggressor]

maaaaaaaaryyyy, awesome scream at the begining

[MFPhoto1]

At 3:06, Ian Anderson is no longer playing the flute. Yet we still hear the flute. What gives?

[Nikisright]

I saw them in concert, Chicago, 1978 or 79 and they were FABULOUS. The best band I ever saw live, and I went to many, many concerts. My brother in law was a stagehand and I got free tickets to any and all concerts I wanted.

[gmgartner]

Ian originated beatboxing into a wind instrument.

[gmgartner]

uh... where's the autotune? ;)

[avalanche344]

I agree with the other two guys , damn bands suck these days. Tull totally rocks and they are incredible musicians. I hate these bands with their pants around their ankles scratching records and rapping. They suck big time, I hate 'em. Love Jethro Tull!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dtjesus101]

This is stupid, it's not the right video

[GurtMcDirt]

Well do better next time. EAD

[MrDodstink]

This is what good music is supposed to be.

[Rocky54167]

Dude i like your editing on this video i watch it everyday! i sometimes can't believe its just an edit. To bad this is the closest thing we will have to a 70s line pro shot of Cross Eyed Mary untill Tull decided to release ALL Of the madison square garden concert from 78 or if they get the rights to that other 76 concert. Either way thanks again and i disagree with that guy calling them Jethro Dull, they were a great live band! and a great band in general!

[LllDawnlll]

OMG Love this Ian and band are awesome!

[zibibbo98]

jethro tull the best of prog

[TheIrishmary]

My song...Mary Margaret ..and yes, I have that one wandering eye....

[popceed]

This band predated Zeppelin, and kicks ass.

You want the fathers of hard rock?, well your listening to them.

Twit's....

[zeplord88]

Now i know why Jimmy Page called them Jethro DULL! Horrible live act

[frankysandwich]

@zeplord88 Faultless flutist though

[micko11154]

A great vid, an awesome band! thanx very much man for uploading this! respect!

[wwwaaallleeeddd]

awsome



[faunoram]

this is incredible !!

[alessio6678]

Clive Bunker on drums?

[danielemgs]

How the hell I would love to see Anderson and Devon Graves singing togheter in the same time...

but someone could say to me that Anderson it's a little more famous than Devon...

Maybe It will remain just a dream that I will never see in the reality

[rubyrose456]

Brilliant! Thank you much!

[yarborg1]

lol i dunt care if right tunes 4 video ,its still cool

[JacobH420]

badass they are

[RiverRat99]

these guys are kick ass...just one band of many I have enjoyed live!!!!!!!!!

[leekc586]

Class act!

[loni50otter]

The greatest musician and performer I ever saw. I love Ian Anderson forever an ever.

He´s great and the other guys of Tull too.

Thanks

[loni50otter]

The greatest musician and performer I ever saw. I love Ian Anderson foever an ever.

He´s great and the other guys of Tull too.

Thanks

[coltonexley]

ian anderson has a beautiful and original voice. too bad he looked like white will smith when he was in his prime- he probly couldve been a real ladies man..

[rehtafsedaj777]

Jethro Tull...One of a kind,true art cannot be imitated!-

[fishzilla001]

I think I wrote it on several of your videos, but I'll write it here again. Awesome channel you've got here!

Great footage, great audio. Did you edit and sync the vids without audio yourself?

[WildWeaselNJ]

concept bands always sound better

[Lyktwz]

Awesome

[slightreturn3589]

Ian's fucking stoned!

[Mikeyski4]

@slightreturn3589

Jethro Tull didn't do drugs

[DMonkey123]

@Mikeyski4

LMAO

[Mikeyski4]

@DMonkey123

Go do some research about Ian Anderson.

[pupi002]

it is very good but not as good as the real jethro tull!

[iapiaya]

This song remains in my MP3 player rotation to this day. I would love to see them play live if it was free. "Yes" is the only band worth paying to see from back then. The rest of 'Tull" material is pretty boring aside from "Aqualung"

Ahh Back when it was all about jamming, ridiculously trite lyrics, and LSD. I must say "Yes" perfected what these guys started, and there wouldn't be Awesome bands like "Dream Theater" if it weren't bands like this starting it all..

[thefabulousdude]

ian anderson is awesome

[generator84]

increible, muy bueno. ya no hay musica como la de antes.

[tonewheel]

I saw JT in January of 1971 on a very snowy night in downtown Chicago at the Civic Opera House. They played the entire Aqualung album, ahead of it's release later that spring. Probably the best concert I have ever seen. (Back in the day when concerts were actually worth attending)

What's missing from this video is John Evan's Mellotron, which he had onstage at the 1971 concert. Haunting and beautiful...and it absolutely makes the song.

[mergatroidal]

The first band to play at the former Shea Stadium, New York, (mid-1960's) were The Beatles. Many, many moons later the next and second band to play concert at Shea Stadium (mid-1970's) were Jethro Tull. I was there. Bragging fact. A big screen Tullivision, they called it, brought everyone on stage in view. Cool .

[hoserintraining]

Nice job. Lifelong Tullhead. The footage is well done, but sorry, it is NOT Cross Eyed Mary. But I applaud the effort. Well done my friend.

[TheSider91]

azeroth62 eres un pendejooo como q "estos" si iron maiden son mierdaa comparado cn jethro tull .. es el rock classico los otros son una mierda q pasaran de moda simple metal sin centimiento jajaja pobre pendejooo y esos son tus papäs jajaja

[xmetallerx]

Estas siendo igual de tonto que el al criticar una banda de metal y mas llamarla sin sentimiento, toda la música lo tiene, Jethro Tull es una gran banda de rock progresivo, por ello el tributo de Maiden, asi como Iron Maiden una gran banda de Heavy Metal, no tienen punto de comparación, porque pertenecen a géneros distintos, y se deben de respetar los gustos correspondientes, es una gran canción, NO A LA IGNORANCIA.

[9joachim]

skybluemarshall you have a good sence of music

[azeroth62]

JaJaJaJaJaJa NoUhw PueDOuw CrEeR QeW MaiDen iSow Un cOvEr DehW EstOs e_e!

[aslugger07]

damn those bands back then ALLL sounded good live, these new banda these days SUUUUCCKKK!!!

[underwwraps2]

aslugger07,

I couldn't agree with you more.

 UW2

[p1nkAcid]

i could that statement is lazy and untrue

[trocker4evr]

They were actually accomplished mucisians back then.

[allenj3210]

@aslugger07 aint that the sad truth

[BenJoeMosesII]

@aslugger07

Because they could play MUSIC. They weren't made in "musicfactories"... they were just talented.

[PhouFoo]

@aslugger07 i'd rather say that back then the MAJORITY of bands sounded good live and nowadays the majority is shit!

Still bands like Coheed and Cambria keep my faith in music alife!

[whydoiwant1]

@aslugger07 music then like its people were made to last!!

[wendrummer]

@aslugger07 they just could`nt get videos to sync with the audio!

[samhain1967]

@aslugger07 Oh blow it our your ass. While I love Tull for paving the way... Iron Maiden's version blows this one off the face of the earth.... it's so much more powerful and not flat like this one... The flute was the only thing that made this song originally and it was written for people who did lots of LSD. lol

[stopthrm]

@aslugger07 There are exceptions. They arent the bands you would see on the Grammy's, although I did like that group that played with Bob Dlyan this year and Cee Lo Green. I saw Them Crooked Vultures last year in Chicago and that was still the best concert I have been to. Foo Fighters, Jamiroquai, Reverend Horton Heat, Eagles of Death Metal, Deadmou5(not really a DJ) Dave Mathews.

[RichieEastside]

@aslugger07 That's because bands today can barely play the stuff they write. That's why albums nowadays come one every four or five years. Imagine the 70's, the quality of Tull's music, and albums were coming every year. Their playing was/is so far above and beyond what today's musicians are capable of, which is why when you see Tull it's better than on the album, but when you see most modern bands, it's kind of a dumbed down version that they're lucky to get through without 8 takes and Logic

[Fiascology]

@aslugger07 Yep, back then you had to be good live; it wasn't optional. Nowadays they just make it sound good in the studio, but it can't save them live.

[aclark141]

@aslugger07 Music hasn't been good since the 70's.

[buyandby]

@aslugger07 THe first concert I ever saw, winter of 1972?..... Jethro Tull at William and Mary, before The Aqualung album was released, and it was like getting to see the super bowl, world series, and moon launch 6 months before everyone else!!! THe bass player always made extravagant gestures with his legs on the downbeats, and was dressed in a yellow and black striped Zuit Suit, and they were SURREAL yet awesome! They don't make em like this anymore.

[TheInsanetrucker]

@aslugger07 not all the modern bands are bad,,,but atleast they are not the lipsinking bands of the 80's. now jethro tull i king!!

[guitarclimax]

@aslugger07 You know, there is a name for it man : basic passeism

[MrBeethoven1966]

@aslugger07 ALL the bands?

Like the Bay City Rllers?

They were the BEST!

[skybluemarshall]

I remember, a bunch of Metal fans freaked out when Jethro Tull won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance with, Crest of a Knave. They beat Metallica's album ...And Justice for All. I agree, Metallica deserved it, considering the category. People were pretty upset. But who can Say that Tull isn't hard rock? I loved the way Anderson played down the controversy of his band beating out such an epic Metal album. "Well, we do sometimes play our mandolins very loudly" Classic!

[adsicks]

But do you think maybe Iron Maiden pulled some rank back then since Metallica was so notorious for ripping off Iron Maiden and dissing them at the same time...

[LightnUpp]

Love this song. My father used to play this album every saturday morning and I would wake up to this, I didnt appreciate it back then like I do now. Rock on Ian. Thanks dad =P

[99silverstone]

Classic rock-n-roll never dies

[camelandu2]

Hey UW2, where is the audio from? As you say, it's not from the same show as the footage, but as most people can hear, Barrie is playing the drums, so it's not the original recording. Thanks!

[underwwraps2]

The audio is LA Coliseum, 8-15-76.

AKA:Back Door Angeles Live 1976. UW2

[TULLYNOL]

HEY UW2 Are YOU the robin hood of Highgate....lol I appreciate all you do... honestly

[Meyfonseca]

amoooooooo!

[njaneardude]

Jensen triaxle speakers sitting in my back seat, windows rolled down, volume knob cranked all the way to the right, it's Tull baby, love it or leave it!

[JimmyBoneJakon]

I saw this tour in New Orleans 1976.

General admission. I thought I was going to be crushed to death, seriously. It was not long after when people did die at a WHO concert in Cincinnati in the same circumstance.

Love Tull, please check dates and you will see.

Scared the hell out of me.

[freddiebarry93]

damn it i wanna see jethro tull preform this song live! is there no real video?

[underwwraps2]

@freddiebarry93

The earliest version on video I have it 77. I also have a good one from 80.

[caulksmith]

never knew that the flute could be a "manly" instrument...until I saw Ian play it live-long live those who are so kind to post such great footage tyvm

[piffle4now]

great respect for u nderwwraps2

thank you

[RedRadRoot]

I hear, and second, that! I just don't see - understand - how/why anyone could fault someone who goes through the trouble to upload and post these (as well as other) videos! I mean, it's basically an effort of love to do that, and share them with the rest of us, just for our enjoyment. After all, where would we be without them...?!

[underwwraps2]

Thanks so much!! UW2

[RedRadRoot]

Don't mention it; just grateful you do it. Tank-you (as well as all the others...) for ALL the video uploads/postings!

Ironically, I find that I'm making more comments about this, these days, than I am about the videos, themselves. Just don't see: where, how, and, why people get off complaining; after all: it's FREE (for God's sake!) - AND - no one's FORCING them to watch...(bunch of spoiled cry-babies...)!

[canetoadkiller]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

[jpd66]

Looks like Chris Elliott on lead vocal

[RedSun92]

This is minstrel in the gallery, the audio is just added to the vid of Live from tampa stadium...

[underwwraps2]

It is minstrel in the gallery, To cry you a song, and A new day yesterday. UW2

[lpclassic60]

i dont even think its from the same preformance. seriously their hands dont even come close to matching up with the music being played.

[vinnypimentel]

KEYBORDS: ORCHESTRA HIT

[detroitchuckie]

This is tampa Stadium 1976

[underwwraps2]

The video is,

but the audio is LA col. UW2

[badumpy]

This is not TULL it is obviously at COVER,,,but decent nonetheless

[underwwraps2]

This IS Tull live 8-15-1976, LA coliseum-Back Door Angels original 1976 recording.

The speed it a bit fast, indeed tull though.

Clearly you don't know what your talking about! UW2

[therrydicule]

Check the face of the flutist... It is Ian Anderson in the 70.

[jstarang1]

WTF are you talking ABOUT? DO US ALL A FAVOR...NO MORE TULL FOR YOU...JUST STOP LISTENING...WE DONT NEED YOU...

[juners113]

Anyone who thinks that these guys suck don't know what REAL rock is made of!

[RoxanneTime18]

obvioulsy, very few know real music in general,.

[guitarguy188]

these guys suck! omfg my ears are bleeding

[rockinpeace999]

wow, these guys kick ass, i like the energy they put into their performance. our band is thinking about covering this tune, of coure we don't have the flute but our lead guitarist has great ears, so he figured out the flute melodies on the guitar. should be fun to play.

[underwwraps2]

I hope that your cover works out for you.

Yeah, Tull rocks the world.

Thanks for Tuning in and watching. UW2

[blica1]

you should check out maiden's version of this tune..they way adrian smith transposed the flute to guitar is nothing short of brilliant !

[jstarang1]

i have a song book that does it quite nicely if u play and want the tabs lemme kno...

[RespiratoryANBU]

That man made me a flautist... I'm in awe...

[SLIPKNOTEXTREME1]

Jethro Tull rules!My prefered band to listen while I drink litronas!

[WoodRatGirl]

Is it just me or is Ian's mouth out of sync?

Anyway, I've always loved the flute and guitar's together in this song.
