Saw Tull live in the mid-1970s. Even though there were seats all the way to the stage, when the music started everyone stood up. Anderson abruptly stopped playing in mid-song and ordered everyone to sit so all could see. What a performer - and gentleman.

I have special relationship with Ian Andersons music. First reason is: it is beautifull and I listened to it since I was a kid. And second is my father. He first showed me this music and above that, my father looks exactly the same like Ian Anderson. Hah. Now, when they are both older, it is not so noticeable, but about twenty years ago they looked like monozygotic twins :D In all, the way he is widening his eyes, facial expression, hair... What a shame my father do not play flute :D
