What did IA do to make his body completely transformed during this era. When he was onstage during the CR tour, I was shocked at how tight his body had become! Has he publicly commented on this?

Whatever ian did to get fit...presumably after the standard weight gain associated with quitting cigs...was following in the footsteps of martin barre...who transformed from an overweight, sallow, older-than-his age looking guy in 82 to a picture of fitness, trim, marathon running machine by 1990. What true tull fan could fail to be happy to see these two men...as successful and wealthy as anyone needs to be...figure out that the rules of gravity and health apply to them like anyone else...and devote the time and effort and discipline to be examples of good health for their ages...Viva ian and martin....long may you run ( bad pun for martin) . Ian really looked weak in the 1987 footage from Milton Keynes...a few years later he was performing in a sort of modified wife-beater shirt/vest and looked fine in it. Martin Barre in 1982 looks like a macy's parade float version of the Martin From 84 on.

Don't forget Ian's embarrassingly-looking permed hair at that time........"Look I'm not really bald. See? This perm (geigh) shows you that I DO have hair....well, at least on the sides and back. My version of a comb over"

Seem to remember IA mentioning in concert that his wife was not happy with him so he had lost some weight. He was making fun of himself... He also looked like he built up his arms in those days.
