Great choice, RG! Nick, you are absolutely right. Ian Anderson IS truly a performer and not just a vocalist and flute player. I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull a few years ago. I'm sad to say that Ian was having such a difficult time singing in key, and I felt really bad for him. However, he gave his ALL in his performance, much like what you saw here. His flute playing live is indescribable, hearing those notes echo through the theater gives you chills. What struck me the most was that he is truly there because he LOVES what he does, moreso than I have seen from any other artist (and I've been to a lot of concerts). This is the sign of a true performer, and it's a shame that not many exist nowadays.

Ian Anderson calmed them as a major influence for Jethro Tull

Yes he is the Showman and if you ever get to hear the full live concert of "Burstin' out" you will hear some hysterical banter with the audience. I'm sure there will be footage also somewhere of Ian talking to the crowd. Live, there are keyboard solo's & guitar solos and the full prog rock tracks like you never heard before on studio albums.

I know you don't like trying to focus on the lyrics during your first listen, but Neil's brilliant lyrics are half of the Rush equation. As for Ian Anderson, he was one of a kind. He was amazing to see live throughout the late sixties and 70's with the various Tull lineups before his voice deteriorated. And since you mentioned Zeppelin, the young lady I took to see the Passion Play concert in 73 had seen Zepplin a few weeks before and preferred Tull hands down. Yes, it's all personal preference, but prior to the show, she had only ever heard Aqualung. Thanks for doing this.

Ian Anderson's vocalization through the flute was inspired by blind jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who besides singing through his instruments would do things like play 3 saxophones at once. They covered one of Kirk's songs on their first album. Tull is an obvious example of a band where you lose a lot of the experience by just hearing the studio versions. I would highly recommend watching the reaction of an online Finnish flute teacher, Heline, ( who also calls them Yetro Tull) to an even more extreme flute solo from Tampa Stadium in 1976. On her Heline Reacts channel. He totally freaked her out, and she ended up loving him, and doing many other Tull reactions. She also researched on why his fingering on the flute is unorthodox. Her first reaction was very funny. Show that one to Alexia too. : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7JqZiEo7x9aKM

I also like his sometimes sarcastic banter in between songs on live recordings.

After seing Tull (and Zappa) live, other bands became more boring live... There are a few videos at KZbin showing the live shows when they were at the top (so entertaining!): "Thick as a brick" as a start of a show (London 1977, 13:29 - the album version is 43 min!) and a typical encore after a show "Locomotive Breath" (Rockpop 1982, 5:42).

Ian Anderson was definitely a creative genius. He wrote most or all of their original material, at least early on. He didn't even learn to play the flute until a few months before they recorded their first album, and was self taught. When you hear acoustic guitar on a song it's likely him playing. And what a great, unique voice. They were the first concert I ever I saw in September 1973 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, I turned 13 a week after the show. I was a little too young to appreciate it the way I would now, and only knew the songs from Aqualung at that time, but what a great experience. This version of the band was the best for me, and for my tastes I wasn't crazy about the direction they took after Aqualung. They still had some good stuff after that, but for me those first four albums were easily their best era. I know some of you won't agree, just my opinion.

He didn't just sit in the wheelchair, he rolled around the stage playing the flute just as he would prance around on two legs. When the band got to Australia he was finally diagnosed with a blood clot in his leg.

Isle of Wight was also Hendrix's last live performance if I am not mistaken..? It was such a killer line up ,Tull, The WHO, Jimi, Moody Blues, Ten years After, ELP, Sly and the Family Stone and the Doors....come on, that's insane!

Indeed and the punters so begrudged parting coin for this galaxy of talent that riots ensued.Brilliant concert and the Tull in my view gave the best show.
