The group features longtime members Ian Anderson (flute, vocals, acoustic guitar) and Martin Barre (guitars), Doane Perry (drums), as well as David Goodier (bass) and pianist John O'Hara. The latter two joined in 2006 after working with Ian on some of his solo projects. The group will be performing the Aqualung album in its entirety plus a range of their other favorites from the lat 42 years. Critics dubbed AQUALUNG “a concept album,” particularly for Ian's critical, skeptical views of organized religion, mostly on side B ("My God," "Hymn 43"). Anderson has disputed - almost resented - the assessment seeing the record as "just a bunch of songs." This led the band to give the critics a full-blown concept album with the following studio release THICK AS A BRICK which topped the Billboard charts in 1972. On AQUALUNG, the group explores the struggles of the less fortunate in our society (e.g., "Aqualung," "Cross-Eyed Mary," "Up to Me"). Teenage angst and formal education difficulties (e.g., "Wind Up") are explored, and Ian returns to his parental themes with "Cheap Day Return," a tune encompassing Anderson's feelings while traveling North on the train to visit his sick father. "Locomotive Breath" touches on the issues of globalization, population expansion and runaway economics. Sound familiar? Formed in 1968, Jethro Tull released its first album THIS WAS late in that year and followed up in 1969 with STAND UP. In the 1970s, the group was one of the most successful live performing acts on the world stage, rivaling Zeppelin, Elton John and even the Rolling Stones. Surprising, really, for a group whose more sophisticated and evolved stylistic extravagance was far from the Pop and Rock norm of that era. With now some 30-odd albums to their credit and sales totaling more than 50 million, the apparently un-commercial Tull continues to perform over a 100 concerts per year with its rich variety and depth of expression, wherever fans, young and old, want to hear Rock, Folk, Jazz and Classical-inspired music. Music for boys in long trousers and girls with brains. In 2011, Tull will tour in Australia, Ireland, and Germany. And Ian will perform solo shows in Germany, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico, Czech Republic, the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Finland finishing with his customary charity Christmas concerts at three UK cathedrals. In 2006, Ian was awarded a Doctorate in Literature from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement in Music and, in the New Years Honours List 2008, an MBE for services to music. In 2012, he expects to be awarded the Smithsonian Medal of Honor for smelling OK for someone his age and having ears still in proportion to the rest of his head. His bladder remains elastic and his prostate the size of a pinhead. ### June 8: Red Rock Amphitheater, Morrison, CO June 10: Comerica Theatre, Phoenix, AZ June 11: The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, CA June 12: TBA, Valley Center, CA June 13: The Grove, Anaheim, CA June 14: TBA, Saratoga, CA June 16: Cuthbert Amphitheater, Eugene, OR June 17: McMenamins Edgefield Concerts On The Lawn, Troutdale, OR June 18: TBA, Woodinville, WA June 19: Centre for the Performing Arts, Vancouver, BC June 21: Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Edmonton, AB June 22: Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary, AB June 23: Casino Regina, Regina, SK June 25: Orpheum Theatre, Minneapolis, MN June 26: Chicago Theatre, Chicago, IL June 27: Rosemont Theatre, Rosemont, IL Knowing a tiger means you must Accept his promise of mutual trust And offer him your throat.

What?, Canada is not a US territory/protectorate ? No. From wikipedia: Canada is a federation that is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual nation with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. One of the world's highly developed countries, Canada has a diversified economy that is reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. It is a member of the G7, G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth, Francophonie, OAS, APEC, and UN. With the eighth-highest Human Development Index globally, it has one of the highest standards of living in the world.So in that case, you'll need your passport and also have a knowledge of French. Sacré bleu

Back on topic: I knew I could do it. ;D www.hotpress.com/music/reviews/live/7605017.htmlJethro Tull 24 Mar 2011 40 years since the release of their classic Aqualung album, Jethro Tull are still capable of “eyeing little girls with bad intent.” Bounding on to the strains of 'Living in the Past' Ian Anderson and co deliver a truly wondrous musical journey that is at turns other-worldly, impish, and mired in a uniquely English brand of eccentricity and pastoral cleaves. Oh, but prog is such a dirty word. Wasn't punk supposed to kill off this sort of music? Yeah right. Never send a pocket-knife to a firefight. Derogatory as the 'p' word has become, Jethro Tull were always more than that and exhibited a self awareness, sense of humour and genre jumping mastery that vaulted the parapets of prog and ran mooning into the glades. At its centre is the one-legged satyr, the flauting dervish, the lascivious smirker, Ian Anderson. Still possessed of his box of tics, foot flicks, beard strokes, bug eyed gurning and body jerks, tonight he looks like a pirate gypsy of mischievous intent. And this intent is manifested in a performance replete with bewitching shafts of musical light spun from the magic lantern. From the lilting, contemplative, happy-wistful ‘Life is a Long Song' to the surrealist (mis)adventures of 'Up to Me', sparks shoot in all directions, fires start and wood sprites dance to the hallucinatory refrains of the flute. The 12-bar blues of ‘Beggar’s Farm’, offers a hypnotic guitar riff as a perfect foil to the clock tick drum beat before Martin Barre lets rip on a muscular solo that leads straight to the jukebox at David Lynch's Black Lodge. The slow grind of 'A New Day Yesterday' further highlights Tull's blues roots as well as the essence of tonight's performance as sounds from the stage go forth, entwine, float and disperse before being drawn back in by the band and refashioned anew on the potter's wheel. Crowd favourite 'Thick as a Brick' pokes fun at that bedrock of prog pomposity, the concept album, 'Bourée' is their cruise ship cocktail lounge jazz take on Bach, and 'Mother Goose' imparts visions of the oddities on display in public parks before, as Anderson informs the audience, “dog $h1t and paedophiles took over.” The haunting discordance and ominous undertones of 'A Change of Horses' sees it shift from Old Testament intoning to the realm of space odyssey and rock opera, ‘Budapest’ gives Barrie a chance to dance around the fret board before ‘Aqualung’ is hauled out and Anderson lets loose his inner Kenny Everett. The shuffling madness of a curfew-breaking encore of 'Locomotive Breath' caps a perfect night. This is a band comfortable in their skin, appreciative and proud of their back catalogue and after six decades in the music business still capable of taking the listener onto musical planes less travelled. Makes you glad to be thick as a brick. Sublime. ShareThis Eric Egan

And what does "Anderson lets loose his inner Kenny Everett" refer to? Now I know that Kenny was one of the most orginal broadcasters here in Blighty but even he would have admitted to a few peeks at the Spike Milligan rule book as would the Pythons so credit where credit is due. But in the end all publicity is good publicity and thanks TT for finding this. You know the next thing we'll find out is that IA is going to be a star judge on American Idol.

www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2011/03/25/761195.aspx Jethro Tull Celebrates ‘Aqualung’ 40th Anniv. Posted on Friday March 25, 2011 at 03:01 PM Has it really been four decades since Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull unleashed “Aqualung” on an unsuspecting world? Released in 1971, Jethro Tull’s fourth studio album has sold over seven million copies in forty years. Featuring such songs as “Cross-eyed Mary,” “Locomotive Breath” and “Hymn 43” as well as the title track, Aqualung not only cemented Jethro Tull’s place in the then-burgeoning progressive rock scene but also showed the world that flautists can be just as cool as guitar gods. Plus, the band raised the global quotient of famous “Jethros” to three as Anderson and his cohorts joined a very exclusive club that consisted of country music duo Homer & Jethro and millionaire oilman nephew Jethro Bodine. This summer you can experience Aqualung in its entirety when Jethro Tull launches a North American tour beginning June 8 at Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Other dates include June 10 in Phoenix at Comerica Theatre; June 13 in So. Calif., at the City National Grove Of Anaheim; June 19 in Vancouver, B.C., at the Centre In Vancouver For Performing Arts; June 21 in Edmonton, Alb., at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium; June 23 in Regina, Sask., at Casino Regina Show Lounge and June 26 in Chicago at the Chicago Theatre. Last stop is also in the Chicago area with Tull playing the Rosemont Theatre June 27.
