[@varsity1980]

Ian Anderson is arguably the greatest poet, singer songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist to ever appear before a paying audience, and he has done so over 4k times in over 40 countries. Ian Anderson has written over 90% of the notes and lyrics, he has hired and fired every band member and special guest. Ian Anderson has had final say over every finished product album after album, he has negotiated every record deal, he has signed every contract to go on tour. Ian Anderson has directed every rehearsal and presided over every soundcheck. Ian Anderson writes and performs music with as high a degree of difficulty as anybody ever in the music business and he has done it all while standing on one leg and making it look easy when we all know it isn't.

[@TheRightONe-et3gh]

And that doesn't give him the right to be a p-ick.

Perhaps the only other independent composer/musician/businessman who's at Anderson's level is Frank Zappa. The degree of difficulty in his music (not for everyone, but I love it) terrifies lesser musicians.

I was too and I didn’t want to go because it was so hot and while we always found great seats and enjoyed the acoustics we never expected to actually see it, No one was aware of what was going to happen because we’d never seen a jumbo screen before. It’s so normal now but I still remember the rush when Ian Anderson who looked about 2 inches tall came walking out and we all realized what was happening. I’m so glad we went. It’s still one of the best concerts ever and I was fortunate to have seen many. And finding it on KZbin was/is awesome!!!

A better title for this video would probably be "The Ian Anderson Band," since if you didn't know it was Jethro Tull, you'd think it was Ian with his backup musicians. As a Tull fan since the "This Was" days, it always baffles me why videographers back in the day would invariably focus on one member of a band almost to the exclusion of everyone else. Yes, of course Ian was the driving force, but without the incredible musicians in Tull behind him, he'd be just another prolific singer/songrwriter strumming an acoustic guitar and throwing in an occasional flute solo.

Only managed to see the boys live once. Preston, 20 odd years ago. Standing, I was close to the front... maybe 3 or 4 deep from the stage, in front of Ian. At the end of one solo, Ian, stood on one leg, looked forward stared right at me... ... and gave me The Look. You know The Look. And it scared the living fucking daylights out of me. I think it must have shown on my face, because he couldn't sing for laughing for a good 5-10 seconds. Lovely memory, will stay with me forever. And if any of you have ever had that experience, you'll know exactly what I mean.

To me, Ian Anderson is what I would call the modern day Minstrel. Talented in many ways with a taste of the old style of performing. I have always admired this band and Ian in particular

Holy crap I can’t believe this was recorded. I was there at 19 years old. We didn’t even have a football team yet but had a great stadium for awesome concerts. Tull, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart and many others. This takes me back to my youth.

I was there also Frank. I was married and we just had our first child a boy everyone was saying that’s going to be a rock and roll kid for sure. Great show I think Molly Hachet was one of the other groups who played. Blink an eye my son has 4 kids and I just had my 71 birthday long live rock.

All you can do watching Jethro Tull is to shake your head in absolute wonder, and to thank the fates for bringing them together, music and the world would be a lesser place without them, they have give us so much.

@@StormcrowB I went to several Tull shows during the 70s and 80s. True story: on one of their tours, pretty sure the War Child tour, they were so big that the San Diego paper did a big Page 2 review of the show the night before, mentioned all the drugs, and quoted a guy saying "what's a Tull show without acid?". For some reason I have always remembered that.

⁠@@rodhancock4682I hear you and I wish I could explain it but I don’t and I’ve been trying to for decades. I think I’d be really worried if I did. I saw him on tv back in the 80s and I knew immediately he no good and a con. When he was roasted so thoroughly at the WH Correspondent’s dinner by President Obama and Seth Meyers and he just turned redder and redder and has no sense of humor at all I had a feeling he’d run but no one thought he could win and it was a disaster we still haven’t recovered from. And I don’t even want him anywhere near the WH or Oval Office and the majority of Americans hopefully feel the same.

Fu il mio primo concerto dal vivo della mia vita, ricordo solo che per il periodo è il momento musicale che si viveva in Italia 🇮🇹 era ben lungi dall’essere una cosa simile a quella che stavo ascoltando era semplicemente fantastico ,ma sopratutto gli arrangiamenti musicali e l’interpretazione creativa del gruppo in primis jan Anderson cantante mostro di genialità scenica , sapeva come sorprendere sempre il publico. Da quel concerto ne usi positivamente , avevo compreso cosa volesse dire e comunicare. Grazie di essere stato tanto generoso con tutti noi . Oggi siamo tutti migliori grazie a te e alla tua band chiamata Jethro Tull 😊

[@patriciapowell6047]

Ian appears to truly love performing!! Fabulously British! He taught himself how to play the flute!

[@saltrockshakers4205]

Best concert I ever saw was JETHRO TULL, and being a teenager in the 60's, I saw almost all of the greats. They put on an energetic show that was second to none while playing all of their albums "Aqualung" and "Thick as a Brick." After Tull played the whole "Thick as a Brick" album, they left the stage, and the crowd thought the concert was over and clapped wildly for an encore. When they got back on stage, Anderson announced that they had learned that they could run off stage, empty their bladders and be back on stage in less than five minutes. He then said, "And now, for our second song," and they started playing "Aqualung'." The crowd went wild!!! The concert was held at the old Atlanta Coliseum, and the theater's stage curtains gave Ian Anderson a place to hide when others in the band took the lead. Plus, the theater's colored lights were perfectly orchestrated with the show. When Anderson wasn't singing or playing the flute, he would run towards the other instrumentalist as if he was conjuring the music out of them. A couple times, the music went down to nothing, and the lights went to total darkness. When the main spotlight slowly brightened, Ian Anderson would be standing in the middle/front of the stage with his foot on the monitor, melodically playing the acoustic guitar. It was theatrics and music at its finest!
