I've seen Jethro Tull live 26 times in my life - it is about the entire experience. Ian Anderson is a self-taught multi-instrumental genius who takes his concert performances very seriously. He treats his live shows like a business man whose job is to entertain. He brings wit, intelligence, athleticism, theatrics, humor, social commentary, and a bit of tongue-in-cheek spice to his concerts.

@vicprovost2561 Ай бұрын

Spot On! One of the 6 times I saw him we had front row, right against the stage, 3 feet from his Mic Stand! An experience I will never forget, they always brought the house down!

@mpemberton7760 Ай бұрын

I saw an interview with Anderson many years ago. He was like a proper educated Scottish gentleman puffing thoughtfully on a pipe and giving the most intellectual and eloquent answers to the interviewer...the complete opposite of his "madman" stage persona.

Jethro Tull is one of the great rock bands of all time. I first saw them back in 78, at the Long Beach arena. The band was incredible with Ian Anderson the lead singer. The rest of the band could play all different instruments. Aqualung is a classic all time rock album....

Another funny story about is daughter. When she was very young, she signed up to take flute lessons. She came home and showed her dad how she was taught to hold the flute. He saw and realized he was doing it all wrong so he taught himself again, but using the proper hold on the flute then. I find the group entirely entertaining. I got to see them 3 times in the 70's and they always did a fantastic show. You can't say Ian isn't a musician as he played 2 instruments in this song and also does acoustic guitar and his songwriting is stellar.

Ian Anderson is pure genius. Here is what Schopenhauer says about genius: "It is not only in the activity of his highest powers that the genius surpasses ordinary people. A man who is unusually well-knit, supple and agile, will perform all his movements with exceptional ease, even with comfort, because he takes a direct pleasure in an activity for which he is particularly well-equipped, and therefore often exercises it without any object. Further, if he is an acrobat or a dancer, not only does he take leaps which other people cannot execute, but he also betrays rare elasticity and agility in those easier steps which others can also perform, and even in ordinary walking." As with Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, it is pure hypnotic joy to behold the rare true genius.

Another deep rabbit hole!! Ian Anderson is quite the entertainer! Excellent reaction, fellas 👏 😊❤

@OzarkTroutBum Ай бұрын

Tull is a lot about both entertaining and music. What Ian does is best described as theatrical clowning that dates back to Shakespearian stages. Their musicianship is remarkable and nearly everyone on stage is multi-instrumentalist. Martin Barre can shred guitar with the best. You have to remember that these guys were able to go onstage in the 70's and reproduce highly complicated arrangements of very long songs with very little technical assists.

@stevedahlberg8680 Ай бұрын

Great reaction. And for the record, Ian Anderson is quite a technical player for sure. Incredibly creative and highly talented. And he's a master of playing the flute in that way, it's amazing. But he's also a multi-instrumentalist. It's very difficult for me to think of it as primarily entertainment because most of us fell in love with the songs and bought the albums and played the hell out of them, it's just that if you were lucky enough to go see them live, you got an incredible dramatic show on top of it. Many great rock bands of the era had a lot of crowd-oriented entertainment going on at their live concerts, even as they were totally rocking out.

@jamessweet5341 Ай бұрын

Ian is an excellent acoustic guitarist. Took up the flute when he realized he'd never be a great guitarist and taught himself. Not a technician at it, but has mastered the fit into their music. Stagecraft is his true mastery IMO. The band as a whole is awesome too.

Jethro Tull was one of the very best bands of their era and were Phenomenal musicians, with a real unique brand of Rock Including rock, classical, blues, folk, jazz, Renn with many classic albums and a compelling stage show. I saw every tour of theirs in the 70s from Aqualung on, they always put on an amazing concert, try Thick as a Brick sometime, they were truly a great band.

They took on the persona of traveling troubadours - "Renaissance" rock/jazz/fusion/prog/blues/and more. Ian Anderson was (and still is) a musical and lyrical genius. The music is most important, but the presentation is what brought the crowds. There is always a message - sometimes obvious, most times allegorical. They crossed all genres - much like Pink Floyd and Steely Dan, there was no way to pigeonhole them to a specific category. A truly unique band like no others, before or since. Commenters below have warned of the "rabbit hole" you're entering here - IMO, the JT catalog is more like a deep mine shaft, with literally dozens of side tunnels (each offering a new surprise). Have fun with these.

He plays the flute like some play guitar. It's about the actual music. One of the great English prog bands. Ian Anderson (the singer/flautist) started as a pied piper persona or like a Court jester if you want and invented rock with medieval or old English folk influences. You can see him in action in that costume around early 70s: "My God" live on KZbin.

By this time Jethro Tull had become very theatrical in their stage performaces and while it was great the one time I got to see them live, they studio version of Locomotive Breath to me was just much better in musical quality.

From Ian Anderson's outfit this looks like the "Songs from the Wood" tour. In any case this was the final part of their (always long) encore, Locomotive breath morphed into "Land of Hope and Glory" (for the balloons launched into the Audience) and then back into the final few lines of "Back Door Angels" a song which started their encore a few songs back. He started the show with the red bowler hat on his head, which lasted for about an hour.... and placed it back on his head at the end of the show. Tulls live shows were always full of entertainment, theatricals, and energy.... as well as absolute magnificent musicianship.

The keyboard player in the white suit was David Palmer, now Dee Palmer, who transitioned in the 1990s well before it became fashionable. She was biologically caught between genders and her parents opted to raise her as a male .
