Nice. I'll be back for more. I needed something to get the crap out my head that I'm forced to listen to at work. | |||

Some of my crew ran into Ian at a bar in Barbados around 2002 and brought him back to the ship for a tour. We carried a deep diving research submarine at the time and he was really interested in marine biology and quite knowledgeable. A really nice and down to earth guy. I was thrilled as I have been a fan of his music since high school. MOO means NO! Be the comet! | |||

That must have been awesome! Ian, having been the owner of a salmon raising factory, makes sense he'd have knowledge in marine biology. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Brilliant. I have always enjoyed their stuff, and Tull is a band that really delivers live.

Love Jethro Tull, never had a chance to see them live. Ian Anderson is a gun enthusiast, long ago in the 70s I heard about his love of shotguns. But this post from a few years back at the Tull website reveals more.

They are beloved in Germany and I got to see them twice while stationed there from 1991-1995. Both times in Frankfurt: 1992: Frankfurt Alte Oper (Old Opera House) Amazing night and a song from when I was there was recorded for a live album! "Life Is a Long Song" (Frankfurt, 12 May 1992) This was an acoustic tour during the heydays of the whole MTV "Unplugged" era 1993: Frankfurt outdoor music fest | |||

I saw them in concert I believe it was 1970 or 71. While I liked the show, I have since turned off his music when it comes on the radio. At least 10 years ago I listened to an outtake of one concert where Ian was lecturing us Americans about how screwed up we were having invading Iraq. It disgusted me that people paying to see them in concert got lectured about how evil our military is. Living the Dream | |||

Saw them in 1972 at the Manley Field House at Syracuse University not all that long after their Thick as a Brick LP was released. Fantastic concert!  Here's the playlist from that concert: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist...use-ny-13c795f9.html Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

Except for Ian, I'm not impressed with the rendition of Aqualung, and don't care for the orchestra sound. | |||

A friend introduced me to JT around 1977, when Songs from the wood came out. Followed by the live album of that tour, the must have Bursting out. Saw them live 3 or more times until the disgusting (to me) A album. Saw them live then too. I liked Jobson´s credentials and F. Zappa musician but Eddie Jobson did his best to steal the show and camped the center of the stage, Martin Barre was so embarrased that he spent most of the show playing behind a column of speakers. After that I called it quits and stuck to occasional listening. Fond memories of their shows. They were top notch on stage. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I saw the “Thick as a Brick” tour. They opened with the title track and it went on for...40 minutes? As the crowd noise died down, Ian Anderson again stepped up to the mic, “And now, for our second number...” Memorable was a telephone ringing away, sitting on a piano on stage. Finally, a man in a full frogman’s suit, complete with flippers, walked out from stage left, answered the phone, then left the way he came. I think “Aqualung” remains my favorite Tull song, and they played it that night. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||
