Ian Anderson inspired my daughter to start flute lessons. She was just 7 when I took her to see him at the Bardavon Opera House in the Hudson Valley, NY. She loved playing flute & piccolo & eventually became first flute in Garden State Youth Orchestra in NJ, playing until she went to college/medical school.
Wow. Very cool.
Does she still play ?
I saw him and he was continually moving around on stage, playing the flute and singing.
Very energetic
Very talented
I do have to laugh when I think of an interview with Glenn Frey saying when the Eagles toured with him,
They called him
“ leaping leotard “
Jethro Tull. Best concert I've ever been to.
Ian is always interesting to listen to.
Jethro Tull is still one of the best concerts Ive ever experienced
Certainly was the best I've ever seen.
I've probably been to 80 concerts and Jethro Tull is one of best I've ever seen. Probably top 3.
I love watching and listening to Ian Anderson playing the flute. I've been a fan for 53 years and had the privilege of seeing him four times starting in 1973 when he was promoting Passion Play. We could even stand next to the stage and watch. I love Jethro Tull and have most of their albumns.
I first saw Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull at the Los Angeles forum in 1973. It was their Aqualung tour and they sold out 3 night in a roll. My seats were so close I could see his expressions without binoculars. One of my All-Time Favorite shows! ☮
I saw the Aqualung tour. It was in '71. '73 was two tours later.
Jethro Tull (baptised 30 March 1674 - 21 February 1741, New Style) was an English agriculturist from Berkshire who helped to bring about the British Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows, and later developed a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many landowners and helped to provide the basis for modern agriculture.
Thank-you. He also made some good music, 👍😬
One of my musical idols-- tight, complex time signatures, startling syncopation, mind-bending lyrics, and a medieval voice.
I'm hearing Thick as a Brick in my head right now 😊.
Best band ever ❤ wish I could have seen them live in the 70s
I Saw Tull In 79 at TheMeadowlands StormWatch Tour Awesome
The Stormwatch tour was so so awesome. Did they turn the stage into the deck of a three masted sailing ship?
My upbringing was glam rock, now 47 coming I very much enjoy the music with more understanding as an guitar player myself, I always feel drifting away when I hear their music 🎼 ❤peace love rock n roll
Blew my mind to find out he played harp when I finally listened to early Tull 😎🍻
Love Dan Rather interviews.
Legend creator.
Thank you so much !
A cup of coffee is only as good as the water used for the brew - Anderson
He's always asked the same questions and he always gives the same answers and he's always interesting.
Ian's acoustic guitar playing is criminally underrated
Who knew Walter white survived breaking bad and is hiding in plain sure as Ian Anderson
Hahaha!
Ian anderson idolo total gracias a el toco flauta traversa ✌💪🎶🎵🎼🖒👍👏👏👏saludos de uruguay
He was so innovative in his composition, his lyrics and in his flute playing. Much of what he did as a self-taught rogue is now considered legitimate and advanced technique.
Ian is a fabulous guitarist.
Ian is a musical genius and a charismatic and theatrical entertainer.
I love Rock and always have. Tull is my favorite band and I admire Ian and Martin Barre (lead guitar) more than anyone musically. I loved that early Rockabilly in the 50's with Eddie Cochrane, Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Burnette. I've tried that Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, B.B. King and so on and so forth. For whatever reason, I just don't hear it. That includes Clapton, also. It just leaves me blank and motionless. Others love it and more power to them, but I have a hard time finding any melody there. Everybody likes what they like.
Thanks to Rosand Roland Kirk for his influence on Anderson’s flute playing.
Cliff Richards imported the first Stratocaster into the UK for Hank Marvin.
Hip hip Bouree
good choice
Величайший творитель в музыке Привет из России.
Ever interesting Ian. And maybe not many know he's a staunch environmentalist.
It's the same like Eddie Van Halen. Self-taught genius musicans are most known to stretch the boundries of their instrument by ignoring the rules.
Dan Rather joins Jethro Tull. Details at 11.
He didn't, he chose both, and all kinds of other stringed instruments. But initially he concentrated on flute because it was easier to transport on a bus to rehearsals.
jethro tull os the best prog band ever breathe if you agree
🫵😅
he picked up the flute and nailed it in a few months. lol and people major in music, and can't play anything close to what he's doing.
Wish they would get someone else to do these interviews.
Ian Anderson has a very eloquent manner of speaking, very similar to Neil Peart....even his deep voice sounds the same.....
Why not ask him really important questions like: Have you ever received the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into your life, and why or why not?
Aww he lost his Scottish accent 😢
tull should have stuck with guitar, his music lacks in the minds of true rockers
I'm a true rocker and his music lacks nothing to me. He plays the guitar and the flute just fine.
He's Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull is the band name. Obviously you know too little about this music to have an opinion
