I've been blessed to see 8 different tours, starting in 74.... Glad I grew up with this group's mastery... I'm 66,and still rocking, had a stroke this past yr, it fucked my dancing up, but I'm determined to dance again, bc my spirit never ages, lol... ROCK ON fellow senior hippies✌️💜😇
Too Old to Rock & Roll . . . perhaps this iteration of Jethro Tull is musicians-in-training? I know Maynard Ferguson's later bands were his students . . . . . . I was thinking on a few Tull concerts, and the Moody Blues song, 'In Search of the Lost Chord' came to mind. Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull knew that 'chord' and played it to the hilt.
I've seen Tull 8 times over many years, particularly in their heyday with the Anderson, Barre, Barlow, Evan and Hammond lineup. This is a pretty decent Tull cover band. They even found someone that looks a bit and sounds sorta-kinda like Ian and that's pretty cool too. I wish them well.
Old age gets us all. I saw him perform last in 2000 and he was totally on his game and the band was all there. Met him before and after the show. Of course, totally brilliant and intelligent man, his greatest music some of the best ever made and perfectly performed.
In his prime, early 70s his voice was fantastic. Now he stains for every note. Time to either retire or hire a singer and just be an instrumentalist in the band
never seen them live but love the music, amazing if that was him playing all those flute solos and singing at a time he should be sitting back enjoying his years of greatness
Agreed. Remember the power/ energy/ drive from the late 70`s?? Yes we all get old and things never stay the same, but Tull without acoustic guitars; dramatic dynamics and a powerful lead vocalist are nothing.
It would be an interesting experiment to see if his singing would improve if he lost that unhealthy "gut"..."don't wanna be a Fat Man" !!! But I still love Jethro Tull ...
Who says no flutes I. Rock n roll music? Most say aqualung was his best song I say locomotive breath is the best. I can't get good volume on this video. There are much better versions on UA-cam.
Wonderful! Over 50 years old and still sounds good. And Ian Anderson is nearly 4 years older than me, so it gives me hope for the future.

Ian's voice is so beat from years of singing into the flute every note starts out with his vocal cords refusing to move like partial paralysis.

Spot on; I saw the show in London. It was desperate.

Honestly I think he can improve his situation with singing classes
To me it seems like not onlt age caught up to him but his technique also
THAT IS TULL!! Great band sound.
Sad!
RIP

Jack Clark looking like a young Maartin Allcock, brilliant
Sorry. This simply isn’t Tull. It’s a decent tribute band.

Ian's timing is off in the singing.
To be fair, he is 102 years old.

santaclaus is back with a terrible beard
Awful.
Not Jethro Tull. Awful way Martin and Doane were treated.
his voice was already terrible in 1998 and since then it is going more bad and bad.
