Aqualung (Jethro Tull) - acoustic version by Andrea Vercesi 

Ian Anderson himself said in an interview that Tull's music was a challenge to play live with all of the time changes and complexities. And here is this wonderfully talented musician making it look like child's play. This acoustic version stands side by side with Tull's. Bravo!

best cover in youtube

Dude... for an italian you've actually managed to nail a tricky accented brit guys voice... 10/10 awesome cover!!!! doesn't sound too different from the original

It´s really, really hard to deliver the dramatics vs. subtleness in this song without other instruments and the tech to crunch it up, but to my amazement you managed to pull it off, Andrea with just one voice, one acoustic guitar - as simple as it gets. Resssspect.

You sir are a true legend & a wizard, I bow down to thy greatness.

I’ve watched this like 20 times. I was in a really horrible mood. Now I’m not. Thank you, dude!

I always comeback to this video. This dude killed it. In 15 years no one has done a better cover than this dude.

Awesome cover. Those hammer ons and pull offs during the chord changes really make the song.

Not many people attempt Aqualung on acoustic. Probably the best cover.

Incredible how with a single guitar such a complex song can be played, I bet Andrea loves this song also, he transmits very neatly the song spirit, compliments !

Perhaps the best raw performance of this song I've seen, absolutely amazing!!

...absolutely Great!!! When I close my eyes, I hear Ian Anderson...

This is the greatest cover i've ever heard sir. It truly is. Thanx

Amazing performance. Jethro Tull would be proud of you.

This is probably the way the song was composed in first place, dude you are awesome!

Take the costume off, Ian !

Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea!

This is as goog as Jethro Tull themselves. Awesome rendition.

Still an awesome cover today in 2022

Wow, I don't know why, but I didn't expect that ..... one of my all time favourite songs, and you do it justice... brilliant !!

Holy crap this was just amazing, I can't even believe this.

no words, too good

awsome man. this is perfection and takes me back to the end of the seventies when i used to listen to this a lot. great song. thanks for sharing your talent.

I've probably watched this 10 times over the years. Every time I watch it, I'm as floored as the first time I saw it. Well done. Nah, scratch that, superbly done!

I may have to pick up my long, long neglected guitar and find my capo. Looking for an acoustic loop, I decided to listen and am very impressed !

This my friend, is called talent. I play a version of this one, but yours is way, way better ❤️

Ian Anderson has immortalized himself within his music and within the hearts of the fans of his music. It can only ever be played and performed his way. Anyone who wants to play it has to become Ian for a moment in time.

Good...good job seriously. It is very rare musicians have the courage and confidence to perform J,T.
