Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick

[amy6ful]

helicon get a life, its a song, dont need ur history crap, fucking farmer

[lololosergio]

So this is the guy who beat metallica for a grammy award in 1988? da fuck..

[BlindBob1]

@lololosergio Metallica? In the same breath as Jethro Tull? Shame on you.

[lololosergio]

@BlindBob1 Well I was trying to see who the hell was this Jethro tull because he won the grammy.

[sekereterra]

So, how do 2 hour movies and football games get uploaded onto YouTube and this vid can't do 45 minutes? Is there a fee for long vids?

[whenhopefailsyou]

jethro tull was and is a revolutionary sound in new music because he took everything that is a working band and stepped it up just one notch and everybody in the 60's and 70's were like "that sound is fuckin awesome". jethro tull as a band could break the barriers of the norm and twerk the sound with a few more instruments and create something thats harmonically beautiful

[redsoxfan1324]

7 people are thick as a brick

[Ziggyztarz]

Always reminds me of when I was sent inside for three months during my 'protester' years and got hit on the side of the head with a brick, when I was asleep, by someone who had taken a dislike to me because I was 'new'. Luckily it hit my head on the flat side, including my ear! Ouch!

[waislandres]

"Thick as a brick" or, otherwise Stoned.

[danning1]

@waislandres I thought it meant someone who was really stupid.

[LadyRaven7086]

Parts of this kind of remind me of Roy Harper's music.

[heehawluck1]

@LadyRaven7086 Not trying to be picky....but this music was written in the early 70s. Roy Harper's music dates backs to when ??

He's so crescent fresh

[willicat441]

Life's too short for boring music...............listen and learn!

[melissa6863]

I was borne in 1982 and my father has alway's made me listen to folk music. At the time, id hated it but now I love it, especially aqua lung!!! And richy blackmore's song the timple of the king!!!

[BabyPhat8708]

4dislike's are the people that have no idea what music is and what it does to your mind. good music people!!!!

[Trower22]

Thick As A Brick est le meilleur album de Jethro Tull.

[toolfan92]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! :DDDDD

[LilyPicta7]

Someday the kids will learn about this music, like we did about classic music in school!^^ Love it!!

[MsGreeneyedlady13]

i played the flute for years and still cant follow him

[willicat441]

Wise men still seek him........................

[Mandey87]

people are dumb to think Jethro tull is a person...my dad plays the flute exactly like Ian Anderson, and I have grown up with an appreciation for music because of him

[highgroundstrike]

Ahh... prog at its best, thank you jethro Tull

[oXxplosiveo]

I think Jethro Tull is a pretty cool guy

[suzys11]

@oXxplosiveo Sweetie, that's like saying "Which one is Pink" (Pink Floyd). Jethro Tull is the band's name. The flutist and singer is Ian Anderson.

[wallfootballplayer]

And your wisemen don't know how it feels....

[overblast0000]

[TheMLGSnubs]

Thumbs up if you're here because of sifl and ollie.

[Vycoul22]

Obligatory "Four people are thick as a brick" post.

I mean seriously, who disliked this?

[Rebecca2397]

Jethro Tull as their sarcastic best. No other band can produce this type of joke out of music

[tlcasey1002000]

Jethro Tull (30 March 1674 (baptized) – 21 February 1741) was an English agricultural pioneer who helped bring about the British Agricultural Revolution. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows, and later a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many large landowners, and they helped form the basis of modern agriculture.

[BleedYTB]

4 watchers are not crescent fresh.

[jarheadz96]

Though it seems un-cress, he rocks with the best. So, yes he's crescent fresh, Aqualung my friend!

[890trewq]

(43 minutes into the recording) "Your wise men dont know how it feels to be thick as a br" ACHOOO!!!!!!!

(producer) OK, lets try that again from the top.

[johnh32156]

You did a damn good job ending the song where you did! I have enjoyed listening to this, thank you for uploading!!!

[geoffreydlang]

I would have LOVED to see this performed live.

I would have LOVED to see this being recorded.

Great composition.

[TheStevemcfall]

Thick as a brick is an entire album.Absolute genius...classic

[renjikuchiki1]

i thought this was a small song, at least from what i had heard

[TrevorsaurusRex]

John Anderson owns Ian Anderson.

[mimeywimey]

Name is...wrong

[stairwaytoheaven900]

just the full version it's for real fans.

[blica1]

[stayoffschool]

@PersonNinja Lol... Thats exactly why im listening to this right now...

[Strukturformel]

a fantastic music legend. Love it!it was a part of my childhood. Makes me feel great.

[sotredveella]

When this song first came out, I think I was in the ninth grade. It was the first ever song, when listening to it, I felt my coming of age had finally arrived.

[ClassicRockDVD]

Jethro Tull, The Minstrel Looks Back 1969-1977 2DVD set available at Tommygun Video please see our youtube channel for link, video clips, more details

[IndianaParkWars]

they make the flute their bitch

[LitoGafik]

on a roll here...how time disappears:

spin me back down the years and the days of my youth

draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth

spin me down the long ages - let them sing the song....

[Soulforceful]

Used to see Tull at the Spectrum in Philly...he would be wearing his Chastity belt sometimes....

[neopreneca]

Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in England in the 1700's

[metalmelicia666]

ya but where did the name come from?

[pagstube123]

I have the album and the cassette. Saw Tull live at Radio City in 1977. Best concert. Tripped my balls off

[noclouds111]

@pagstube123 I was just thinking the same. Whenever I hear the flute lead, it reminds me of riding high!

[Tylercom7]

I like how you did this. I checked the ending first, and was pleased to see that you had cut to the reprise at the end of side two. Thanks for posting!

[borussek]

kocham ten kawalek jak i cala plyte <3

[jbeng1953]

even zappa would o giamba biambquiefr..... uhmmmm!!! thease guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andyh078]

@Helicon2112 Yeah true, but Jethro Tull was actually a real person. But he lived 250 years before the formation of the band. Probably wasn't much of a lyricist either. He was into plants.

[buffalosoldier90]

mickelblue, really?

[nokturnal5647]

Could you send me an MP3 of the whole song?

[Audio4You]

@nokturnal5647 I'll have to upload it to megaupload, i'll send you the dowload link when i do.

[nokturnal5647]

@Audio4You Thank you, it's much appreciated. Just keep me updated.

[kdizzlenorwayd]

Jethro Tull was a master lyricist.

[Helicon2112]

@kdizzlenorwayd You mean Ian Anderson is a master lyricist. Jethro Tull is the name of the band, not a person.

[rhadamanthysasterion]

@Helicon2112 Actually, Jethro Tull *was* a person. Invented the seed drill. The band is named after him.

[beaner21121]

@Helicon2112 The band got their name from a 17th century agricultural scientist. He was a pioneer in p[low design and how crops were grown

[PpPpnk1994PpP]

well, i believe that Jethro Tull is a name, but not one of the band's members.

[Sanitoeter666]

@Helicon2112 in fact, Jethro Tull WAS a person.. he revolutionized agriculture ;)

[ec64]

@Sanitoeter666 Yes he was! Did he invent the seed drill or something?

[wh0m1k3j0n3z]

@Sanitoeter666 Yessir, he invented the seed drill, which paved the way for the industrial revolution.

[VictorStrumpit]

@Sanitoeter666 The seed drill right?

[Sanitoeter666]

@VictorStrumpit yes I guess. I read an article somewhere, that they toured under about 100 different names, and Jethro Tull was the only name that got positively recepted, so they kept it. Their manager just randomly picked it out of some book, I think :)

[eusoulegal6]

the song should stop at 3:04

after that... i realy dont like the song!

[mickeblue]

"i need a short version".... yeah they're going to do that for Xmas .... :-)

[cammckenful]

It's not really fortyfive minutes, it's actually two variations of the same song each around twenty two minutes. They're still all good though! My favorite song from Jethro Tull. Oh, and, bloozemc, I'm American.

[cammckenful]

[cammckenful]

[mrbrightside712]

this is brilliant, i need a short version of the full song to go on my ipod, anywhere i can download this cut?

[Audio4You]

@mrbrightside712 I can send it to you if you'd like.

[er6789er]

@mrbrightside712 - If you need a short version - you are lame...

[HempForPresident]

@mrbrightside712 google "youtube video to mp3" there are a dozen sites that will extract the sound from any video and create an MP3. Look for HD videos and you can get higher quality, but either way, it's an MP3 from a video from the internet, it's going to sound pretty bad... just don't put in Klipsch S4 ear buds, cause you'll hear it in all its low quality glory.... but, DO buy some Klipsch S4 earbuds!!! they're so amazing.

[yurf9]

I was totally adicted to Jethro before. I downloaded all their albums. Still think they are amazing .)

[sometimeworld1]

This is a really good edit of the song if you're not up for the full 45 minutes. I had original masters and that cut out at 3.25 but I always liked the part that followed. Actually the whole 45 minutes is pretty damn fine. Stand up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a brick and Living in the past - awesome. And if you think the guy playing the flute is called Jethro Tull then thats fine with me as well.

[bloozemc]

wow...kids like this??...all of a sudden they have a sense of humor....and glimpse of the absurd?>...these kids american??..lol..prolly not

[MsDanjune]

The longer the better!

[thebluejay99]

Yeah I'm 11 and I love their music I'm learning to play the flute because of it.

[Helicon2112]

@thebluejay99  Great BlueJay! Ian is a master flautist.

[gunterdak]

what a tease! The first five minutes and the last minute of the greatest and longest song in rock and roll history!

[audreywolk]

hmm u know whats weird is i'm stuck between liking christina aguilera and jethro tull.

[cicalinarrot]

Best album ever? Probably i.m.o....

[subbie241]

Brilliant!

[tmadd1956]

i have to say i have always felt i had a sense of the various meanings attached to this poem/ song... i guess now i wonder if i miss the point. but i do feel that this is a tirade against our consumerist and plastic lifestyles.... and our compartmentalized version of reality..... well, so much more. i'm sure.

[tecwolfen]

"And the love that I feel is so far away, I'm a bad dream that I had today, and you shake your head, and say it's a shame." this part is so wonderful, what can I say? "Spin me down the long ages let them sing the song"

[manzanadecoco]

A couple of weeks ago, I had a kid who was maybe 20 ask me which I liked better, Passion Play or Thick as a Brick. I couldn't believe him. He was *really* knowledgeable about progressive for someone his age. It was amazing. He asked me what Henry Cow sounded like, since he hadn't been able to track them down yet. Amazing.

[baktus324]

Its alot of "kids" listening to jethro tull!

I love them, and im 16

[manzanadecoco]

My niece is forced to listen to Tull. She's only 9 and prefers Miley Cyrus to Tull. I bought my first Tull LP, Heavy Horses, when I was 17. I made a special trip to a store where the LP was really cheap. I think I saved 50c. That seemed important at age 17.

[CommanderFrank]

Yea, im 16 and im going to see them at Jones beach this June, i cant wait!!!!!

[kanmanop]

@baktus324 at least the kids with good taste..I'm 17 and have been listening to this stuff forever too..thank God there's more than just one person my age who likes the classics

[TheUnclePunky]

@baktus324 good for you...gives an old man like me (45 lol) hope for the future that kids still appreciate great music instead of the flavor of the week crap on the radio now

[ahib42]

@baktus324 I am a 13 year old girl and i love them so no, ur not the only one(:

[Stingray2112]

@baktus324 17 here, i just saw them theyre great! so talented its amazing

[bernie1111]

yeah man, I'm 20 and I think JT is sweet as well as a good deal of older stuff. Basically its because my generation is more prone to it due to the over commercialism of contemporary music and the fact that its the music our parents always had around. Plus its generally authentic music.

[zenarcher420]

I saw the thick as a Brick concert in Little Rock when I was 16.I'm 53 now and it still kicks ass

[vbforge]

you kids kill me man

[keith25658]

maybe the best J.TULL'S SONG EVER.*****

[HempForPresident]

What!? 45 minute version of this song!?  Where can I find it?

[Audio4You]

Go to this channel: pedsarod02

And you'll find it there.

[kykulienka]

Hey man!! What ya mean you wouldnt know??! I tell ya, just please sent it to me...dunno were to get it anymore..I can make MP3 from Aqualung for a change...

[manzanadecoco]

Serieusement? The CD consists of a single song. Just like Passion Play.

[briangemmell1]

@HempForPresident can he get one

[ShredSurfSkateRepeat]

@HempForPresident /watch?v=i7ts-n87f0Y&feature=r­elated

[LothairApoclyane]

relatively the best song!

[Audio4You]

I agree, the 45 minute version is pure genius

[LothairApoclyane]

indeed, their 45 minute passion play is crazy good also
