Ian Anderson Talks What Hendrix Thought About Jethro Tull, Explains What Jimi Didn't Like at All The frontman remembers opening for the late guitar god in '69.
During a radio interview, Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson talked about his early school days, the late Jimi Hendrix, the Isle of Wight festival, and more.
One of the things that fascinated me in your biography is the fact that you were actually expelled from Blackpool grammar school. You don't strike me as a real troublemaker, or were you back in the day? So why did they actually expel you? "Well, technically, I was sent home and told not to return unless I was prepared to submit to a physical beating by the headmaster - to whip me on the bottom with a cane.
"And at the age of, I guess I was still just 16, at that point, the idea of a man in his late 50s, early 60s beating a small boy over the bottom with a long, whippy cane, essentially wood - that doesn't seem really an entirely healthy thing for someone to be doing.
"And certainly, I was prepared to accept punishment in another form, but I just said, 'I'm sorry, sir, I can't allow you to cane me.' And he couldn't handle the fact that I refused to be caned, and so he got in a weird kind of mood and sent me home, and I never returned."
I do remember you telling me about you seeing Jimi Hendrix at his last official UK performance, which was on August 31st, 1970 - The Isle of Wight Festival, where you were one of the headlining bands along with him. He died 18 days later, and I know you have a fond memory of - or maybe a bitter memory of seeing him back then. "Jimi Hendrix was one of the reasons that Jethro Tull got noticed in much of Europe because he was, I think, slightly impressed by Jethro Tull when we were the opening act for him in Stockholm early in 1969.
"And he then told our German promoter of this band that he'd seen and recommended that we might be an act that was worth booking.
"And so our German agent - Fritz Rau - he went off to London to try to find us and was told, 'Well, I'm afraid the band isn't available because they're embarking upon their first tours to the USA and elsewhere. So we can't do anything in Germany for a while because the USA is a big country to try and break, and to cover geographically.'
"But nonetheless, later on, he did book us for a show and that began our career, not just in Germany, but I think the success that we had in Germany spread into all the other neighboring countries - Austria and the Netherlands. And even before we got there, we had a growing reputation.
"And so Jimi was helpful in that regard in recommending us to promoters. I didn't know that at the time, I didn't know that until after Jimi Hendrix died. He wasn't a friend of mine, I only ever met him and talked to him once when we were actually in Stockholm at a press conference.
"And he struck me as a very quiet, gentlemanly, rather nervous kind of guy. He didn't enjoy the media, he didn't enjoy the attention, he was a seemingly rather lonely figure in some ways.
"It's the only time I met him and he struck me as a pretty good guy. But within a year or two, of course, his fame had become so enormous throughout the world, and his entourage had appeared, who were there to source and feed him drugs, women, and everything that went with the imagined rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
"So Jimi Hendrix did get a little out of control over the next couple of years in terms of his personal life, and sadly, he's one of the many victims of the excesses of the lifestyle.
"I learned those life lessons by watching other people in their own personal disasters - one of those things that kept me away from drinking, drugs, and that kind of behavior.
"It's not really my inclination anyway but when you've lost so many people over the years particularly to drugs - particularly to hard drugs - then it meant that I was not going to go down that route myself."
That's a valuable lesson. The Isle of Wight festival, which I was mentioning, is also famous for the fact that you had an early morning soundcheck. If I recall correctly, one of the very rare bands to actually want to soundcheck. "I think it's very important for me, and I would think for the other musicians, to actually be there to do a soundcheck. It's possible to simply do a soundcheck with perhaps a live tape of a previous performance, or generally to set things up technically.
"But for me, it's really important to be on stage for it. Well, for the guys and me, I guess. It can be as long as an hour, hour and a half of being on stage late afternoon in order to make sure that all the technical issues are sorted, to get used to the physicality of the stage, to learn the geography of getting on and off stage in the dark, to find your way quickly to dressing rooms, to get used to the acoustics of the venue...
"And also just to warm up, to find out how you are that day in terms of the physical nature, of your reflexes, your quality of musical sounds, your voice... If you're a singer, you need to do a little bit of prep work before every show, and soundcheck is there to try to enjoy, not to be a penalty. It's something that there's a chance to re-engage with what it is you have to do a couple of hours later."

Royal Albert Hall launches its 150th anniversary celebrations with a touching 90 second film of archive clips"Your Room Will Be Ready" features poetry by WH Auden narrated by Sir Mick Jagger Author: Jon Jacob Published 23rd Feb 2021 Last updated 23rd Feb 2021 The Royal Albert Hall has launched its 150th anniversary year with a 90-second tribute to live music entitled Your Room Will Be Ready, narrated by Mick Jagger, directed by BAFTA-nominee Tom Harper (The Aeronauts, Wild Rose), and scored by Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price (Gravity, Fury). The short film, which focuses on the anticipation and energy of live events, pairs images of the empty venue with more than 40 pieces of archive event footage from 1933 to the present, accompanied by Sir Mick reading from For Friends Only by W.H. Auden. Clips include BBC Archive footage of Shirley Bassey, George Michael and Luciano Pavarotti, recently rediscovered material from a 23-year-old Jacqueline du PrĆ©ās 1968 concert for the people of Czechoslovakia, and Albert Einstein speaking out against the Nazis in 1933. Freddie Mercuryās appearance at Fashion Aid 1985 features, alongside an excerpt from D.A. Pennebakerās 1968 Bob Dylan documentary, Dont Look Back. Recorded at Mark Knopflerās British Grove Studios, the filmās original score features the Tippett Quartet, celebrated flautist Eliza Marshall and BBC Symphony Orchestra principal trumpet Philip Cobb. It was composed by Steven Price. Craig Hasall, Chief Executive at the Royal Albert Hall said: āWeāre absolutely delighted to unveil this film, and so grateful to the many incredible creatives who have lent their efforts to the project. The film is the first event of our 150th anniversary celebrations ā a tribute to live events that focuses on the light at the end of the tunnel, as we look to a route out of our enforced closure. āWeāre especially thrilled that Sir Mick agreed to narrate the film, almost 60 years on from his first performance here. Tomās aim with the film was to evoke the excitement and humanity of live performance, which is the true soul of concert venues and something we are desperately missing right now.ā He added that the Hallās continued closure means that the venue remains in financial crisis. āAs a charity that is not in receipt of recurrent government funding, we rely solely on ticket sales and ancillary income for our survival, and we hope to re-open our doors in the not-too-distant future.ā Watch Royal Albert Hall's 150th anniversary film 'Your Room Will Be Ready' The film will be premiered on YouTube from 9am on Tuesday 23 February 2021 Who features in the 90 second tribute 'Your Room Will Be Ready'? *denotes unseen or unreleased footage Albert Einstein, 1933 ā British PathĆ© The Film Ball, 1933 ā British PathĆ© Chelsea Arts Club Ball, 1952 ā British PathĆ© Sir Winston Churchill, 1954 ā British PathĆ© HM The Queen, 1964 ā British PathĆ© Bob Dylan, 1965 ā Dont Look Back by D.A.

McIntyre, John Harrington, Charles Stockdale, Evan Comen March 16, 2021 1:00 pm Combining elements of rhythm and blues, country, jazz and gospel, rock music has had a strong cultural impact throughout America and the world since its inception in the 1940s and 1950s. In the three-quarters of a century since then, a number of bands have left an indelible stamp on rock music, captivating millions and pushing the genre to new heights in the process. Using data from Spotify, Facebook, Ranker and the Billboard 200 albums chart, 24/7 Tempo determined the 100 most popular rock bands of all time and, from among those, the most popular rock band of all time. ----------- 79. Jethro Tull> Spotify followers: 1.1 million > Facebook likes: 1.2 million > Most popular album: Aqualung Jethro Tull, led by their impish flutist Ian Anderson, was a hard-to-classify British band ā English folk music, prog rock, blues ā that was heard frequently on FM radio during the 1970s and 1980s. The group, which took its name from an English inventor/farmer, had little success as a singles group. However, the band had seven Top 10 LPs on Billboard, including the No. 1s āThick as a Brickā and āA Passion Play.ā Their top selling album, āAqualung,ā went platinum three times.

louderthanwar.com/jethro-tull-an-appreciation-from-a-fellow-blackpool-music-head/Jethro Tull : an appreciation from a fellow Blackpool music headBy Alan Moore -March 18, 2021 One of the great things about getting older is that you have an awful lot of time to look back over things. You can put things into context more easily. Compare how it was when you were a kid and what it is like now or at another time in your life. When youāre young you donāt have time for too much introspection. Youāre too busy living. And that is the way it should be. This applies notably to our passion for music and all the discussions and arguments we have about it. If it wasnāt worth it, we wouldnāt do it. From that day in April 1715 when JS Bach yelled Kick Out The Jams, Motherf**kers and embarked on the Brandenburg Concertos we have not only loved the music but the characters who created it and the multitude of anecdotes surrounding them and their art. I donāt want this piece to be rock crit stuff.Itās more personal than that. When Bob Harris was interviewing Anderson at the height of Tull fame in the 70s he asked him where he was living. Anderson said heād bought a little place outside of London. Bob whispered āOh really? Where?ā Anderson replied , āItās called Surreyā. When I was a young protest singer walking down the street in Blackpool in 1975 with a guitar in hand I spied a long haired man polishing a car. āTwas Anderson outside his mumās house. He said hello, asked where I was going even said heād pop round. Of course he never did, but I felt pretty chuffed that a big famous rock star had a minute or two for a kid like me. I felt like an older brother had given me his blessing and went about my drunken session with mates dining out on the story. When Tull were in the top ten in 1969 with Living In The Past I remembered our Latin master at Blackpool Grammar School eulogising about the days he taught Ian Anderson.I was only aware of pop music as something ace that came out of the radio or Top Of The Pops back then. Anderson had met John Evan at the same school some eight years previously and the idea of a band was first mooted. The original line-up was comprised of schoolmates rehearsing in front rooms quietly trying to perform soul and blues standards. Famously our Ian decided that he wasnāt going to play the guitar like Eric Clapton so what could he do? On a whim, he traded his electric guitar for a flute thinking no rock bands at the time had a flute player. In 1967, this was a radical idea. A frontman with a flute? I wonder if heād subconsciously stored an idea of Dixie, the old Blackpool tramp, sat outside RHO Hills playing his harmonica? The full impact of that image, which many of us Blackpool kids had of the sad old vagrant, fully manifested itself on Aqualung the bandās 1971 meisterwerk. For those of you reading this with no insight into Blackpool aside of candy floss, kiss me quick hats and the Pleasure Beach, let me furnish the room by saying that it is a town anchored in strangeness and oddball behaviour. It is a place where I have encountered some of the greatest people Iāve ever known and some of the most unusual people too. It existed, certainly in the 60s and 70s, of extremities. For all itās oddball weirdness, it is a place where extreme violence could be met with by anyone unwary enough to step into the wrong areas. When Anderson wrote his songs, these extremes, no doubt, were uppermost in his thoughts. A fun resort or an urban nightmare. I wonder if George Formby and Gracie Fields ever walked into those dark shadows? After numerous gigs often rather shambolic, the band came to the attention of Terry Ellis of Chris Blackmoreās hip Island Record label and they were shepherded into Sound Techniques studio in London in the summer of 1968 to make their first album This Was. Titled This Was as the winds of change were blowing. This was a blues band that were heading somewhere else. Uncharted territory. It sold well and put Tull on the map commercially and gave them the chance to make further records. Mick Abrahams was the co writer on much of the albums songs. Mick was a blues guitar shredder and left the band shortly after this. Anderson had come to the fore as the groupās leader and folk and jazz were big influences of the growing bandās next release Stand Up. Itās a marvellous record that literally did stand up. The gatefold had a cardboard caricature of the band which raised up as you opened it up. The songs were melodic and tinged with the influences Anderson had acquired from Bach ( Bouree) and Roland Kirk to more contemporary West Coast sounds from the US and of course, British folk songs. It is often claimed that The Eagles stole We Used To Know for Hotel California but as we all know in rockānāroll we all have to share those same few notes and chords, so I think aside from sublimation or an unconscious influence, there was no intent to deceive. Another quirk of Stand Up was that if you read the titles of the songs from track one to the end, they form one long sentence.The bandās stand-alone single Living In The Past from the same sessions as Stand Up swept up the charts and very nearly made number one as Tull came out of the underground to sniff the rarified air of the big time. Sweet Dream, a personal favourite of mine, followed up this top 40 success. A pounding epic riff and considerably heavier than itās predecessor, it too made the Top Ten. JT had arrived. And meanwhile Blackpool gnawed away at the band. Jeffery Hammond (Hammond) and John Evan both joined the band. Another big hit followed in 1970 The Witches Promise was a delightful piece of offbeat acoustic whimsy which backed with the harder, rockier Teacher on the B-side. These songs come from the bandās Benefit sessions. Benefit may well be the genuine masterpiece in the 67-71 period. It contains lots of pointers to where Andersonās mind was at this time. There are almost Elizabethan folk interludes (Sossity: Youāre A Woman), next to nascent proggy bits, nestling up against jazzy passages suddenly flowering into pop choruses. (Inside) The album stands the test of time excellently, musically interesting with memorable songs and superb arrangements. Lyrically, it skates across Andersonās preoccupations with recent experience and is far more earthy than many of Tullās prog contemporaries. We all search for something when we are young.Often these things arenāt especially extravagant, merely a place to fit in and a place to rest your head at night. A meal and a bottle of booze make things much more bearable. Benefit appears to suggest that these things are what a young person may have been searching for in 1970. Those elusive Freudian wish lists are still very much on the agenda today. Finally, we arrive at 1971ās Aqualung. The cover is probably JTās most recognisable one, a melange of Dixie the afore-mentioned vagrant and Ian Anderson. Did Anderson feel heād end up like Dixie, sadly playing his harmonica tunelessly, outside the most populous thoroughfares of a resort town. Aqualung features other characters (Cross Eyed Mary) and deals with Andersonās atheism too (My God) and blends a more hard rock edge (Locomotive Breath) with already more established Tull folk-rock palette. Again the ghosts of Blackpool drift effortlessly through the shadows in this record.I guess it is similar to Ray Davies and his bard of London alter-ego, Joe Strummerās evocation of the Westway and the west of London too. Writers always use home in some way or another. Aqualung marked Tullās entry into the supergroup echelons populated by the Led Zeppelins of the time. They went on to make two genuinely prog rock albums in Thick As A Brick and Passion Play before retreating into more bucolic waters in the late 70s. I grew up with these albums as a soundtrack to my rockānāroll life. They arrived when I was a 15 year old kid at the same school as Anderson and Evan. They were soon superceded, but never forgotten, by Bowie and Roxy then punk as you grow and look to find where you truly fit in. But the processes of re-evaluation always mean you delve back to see if you can find what attracted you initially to any record you lovedā¦.Iām very glad I did with these albums. Alan Moore
