So it seems to indicate that they have a recording of the Brick tour. I regret to announce, barring a miracle, they do not. There has long been available an, allegedly Japanese recording of the Brick tour. Having heard it, and maybe 7 others from that tour, I can announce that that one is the worst of the lot. Additionally it seems really unlikely that the show was in Japan, given the behavior of the audience, ,more likely to have been in Australia some days earlier. Not a rude crowd by most stretches, but a lively one and Japanese audiences were, and probably are, the most polite and silent I have heard. Even the Beatles shows were different there, sudden explosions of screaming, but quickly reigned in. If you want rude for real sample some of the ones in the USA, great belligerent cries of "Get down" during the quietest sections or the always exciting opportunity of bellowing whatever is in your downers/alcohol brain, as of course it is some of the most fascinating s**t on the planet. Have never had any difficulty believing that Ian really did want to quit around this period, and may, correctly I believe, inform his intolerance for such behaviors ever since. I join him in wishing most of the world a big ol bowl of stfu. I really wish there was an international, and coldly efficient morals police, who did not issue second opportunities, but definitely know how to hurt, and leave no mark. Manners at the point of a proverbial sword say I.

The proper behaviors for the quiet part of Tull show include : gape mouthed amazement, intense concentration, quiet, discreet tears.

Concert: Martin Barre plays Jethro Tullwww.podiuminfo.nl/concert/129350/Martin_Barre_plays_Jethro_Tull/DRU-Cultuurfabriek/Martin Barre was from 1968 to 2012 in addition to a permanent member Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and figurehead. After Jethro Tull tour there was a long pause, Martin formed a new band to bring on stage. For all who have rarely heard in recent years the "classic" songs from Jethro Tull, The greatest successes of Jethro Tull recordings with more than 60 million albums sold were undoubtedly the hit "Aqualung" and "Thick as A Brick" in the early 70s. In addition to his successful time with Jethro Tull, he shared the stage with artists such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Gary Moore, Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. With his new band, which former musicians of Jethro Tull and top musicians from the same musical backgrounds include Martin knows the power of the blues and rock of the early history of Jethro Tull hold. Classics Thick as A Brick and Locomotive Breath will not be missing in the program. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

Google translate: Careful: 02.05.2013 Ich denke, ich habe ein Talent für den Job“ "I think I have a talent for the job" www.wn.de/Muensterland/Kreis-Borken/Gronau/Interview-mit-Ian-Anderson-Ich-denke-ich-habe-ein-Talent-fuer-den-JobThe flutist and leader of the British band Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, now occurs at night during Jazzfest Gronau. On Tuesday our staff Peter Kolb spoke with the musician before his performance in Paderborn. The "world" is the headline today: A special day: The Dutch King Willem get with a new "Captain". As it is with the "Captain" by Jethro Tull? Ian Anderson: That's a good analogy. To be a leader, is in many ways similar to the captain of a football team. You do not necessarily shoot all the gates. There is indeed a team around you. But you must be able to lead and encourage. You're on your own authority. Season leader of a Spitfire squadron in World War II: Everyone looks up to you, looking for inspiration and guidance. Sometimes you have to be strict. Most of the time, but a nice guy. Back to bandleader. There are good bandleader and there are bad. Good bandleader: B.B.King, Frank Zappa. Poor bandleader James Brown. His musicians hated him. I spoke with the musicians of this band. Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band: They hated him as well. I think I have a talent for the job. Others were afraid, because who does not fulfill his job in the band, was punished. I think it's nice to be remembered as a good band leader for the people with whom you work, remember. I recently had to explain the way. I always went out of 26 people, but there were a total of 29 different musicians who have played for Jethro Tull! That is now not just a little. Two football teams plus some substitutes. You will occur here in Gronau within the jazz festival. What can the audience expect? Ian Anderson: To be honest, I know not exactly. We change our program during the current tour and on. One is a kind of higher-level program. And that is the production tour for "Thick as a brick". The majority of our shows in 2012 and this year the theme was. So all the pieces of the 1972 issued album, from beginning to end. Then the new "Thick as a Brick", followed by an additional program with different pieces. As we come to about two and a half hours of music. It will be a long concert, hard work. And now were going to pitch added. I had my short holiday break with my wife, my son James had to go back to the island because our drummer has sustained a serious knee injury and he had to undergo surgery. It is set at least three weeks out of action. So James had to spontaneously fill in for the next few weeks So he will be in Gronau like? Ian Anderson: Yes, he is here today in Paderborn. On Sunday we had a rehearsal. James has the advantage that he knows most of our material. Much of it he has ever played with us. How old is your son? He is also a professional musician? Ian Anderson: He is 35 He knows about a third of our program very well. It is mainly my agent. For USA and Canada. This constitutes 50 percent of the time. For about four years he accompanied me. "Thick as a Brick" comes from 1972 - Part 2 and now, 40 years later. How did the idea originate? Ian Anderson: At the beginning of the career of Jethro Tull, at the time of our first album we were a kind of blues band. On the second album we were more in progressive rock, explorative. I wrote all the songs and we brought influences purely classical, folk, world music, all accompanied by blues and jazz elements. It was certainly a more creative than the first album. The third album was electronic. Not exactly my favorite album. This was "Aqualung", and the media had decided at that time that this is a concept album concerned. I said: It's not a concept album, it's just a collection of different pieces. It was expertly packed. I can understand that some people thought it was a concept album, but actually have only two or three pieces to do something together. Otherwise, the songs are simply presented each well for themselves. Bugged me that a little that people called it a concept album. So I said, Okay! If they think this is a concept album, then I give them a real concept album with the next plate. And it will be the mother of all concept albums, so so over it, so surreal, as ridiculous as a parody of the progressive rock genre par excellence. I began consciously to write something that was fun playing, that was actually a conceptual piece. But it just went a step beyond what had ever been made, in terms of a conceptual presentation. The album cover consisted of a multi-folded, sixteen-page daily newspaper. The lyrics were supposedly written by an eight year old boy. The whole thing was a parody of a parody of all those concept bands like Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Genesis, King Crimson. We are not making fun of these bands, rather than the genre itself. We wanted to bust completely, completely unbelievable and make surreal. Beyond any reality. It was an interesting intellectual exercise to see whether such a thing would be artistically and commercially successful. That was not entirely without risk, what we were doing. But it worked quite well. I do not think that characterizes this album Jethro Tull or Ian Anderson. It characterizes Gerald Bustock, the eight-year-olds. Otherwise, it's probably more of a stop on the long road of the band. A very interesting, deeply thought out piece of work, written and performed as a whole, as it was a continuous piece of 23 minutes per side, no separate pieces. For the American radio we made special pressings, where extra grooves were added to allow breaks emerged. The album was so well received Ian Anderson: It was on the charts up to position 1. We have not mentioned it often. In the UK several times, in Germany only once Then we went over to the States, and from there to Japan. It was difficult music, and it was difficult to perform. This was because the audience rock'n'roll expected, especially in America. What we gave them was more complex and exhausting to listen. The audience was perhaps not ready for that kind of music. That made me angry in a way. What is the acceptance today?
Ian Anderson: Totally different. Last year we toured the States, and it was so successful that we will hang two more tours this year. It's a different generation that listens to us today. The old rock and rollers of the past would no longer come to our show today. I do not even want them to come. This music is not for them. Today's audience is mature and younger. We are an example for 40 years of progressive rock.The double album "Living in the Past" was a big hit at that time. Many young people bought it, even though they had no money. Ian Anderson: And they also have none today. But today there is Ebay. Everything is fine. The audience in Gronau is likely to be above the 40th Ian Anderson: I expect also. In England and Germany, our audience is older than, say, in Italy. There is 50-50 between older and younger listeners. In South America, where we were recently, people seemed more likely to be aged around 20 years. Who did not hear us are people between 30 and 40 Who have grown up with Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran. How important is it to you that young listeners understand your lyrics? Ian Anderson: The lyrics often consist of quite difficult English texts. I use metaphors, images, anything that uses a poet as a tool, an idiosyncratic language. I reach back then also the everyday language, I use terms such as Starbucks or Ebay. All this together gives a rather complex structure. Not easy to understand, even for native speakers, but that's part of the allure. For listeners whose native language is not English, it can be a good exercise to deal with my lyrics. Quite a few young listeners who are studying English, set apart today with my language. It flatters me. It's a bit like when I am dealing with Shakespeare. What comes first, the words or the music? Ian Anderson: When I was younger, there was always a first harmony. Chords. A general framework, which hinted a melody. I wrote the text later. I found this but increasingly frustrating. It is difficult to write a text, if you do not know what. A second thing about a first to stülpen, and quite deliberately. The best texts I've probably written when both came at the same time. Of course, I also write lyrics like that. But if I set my mind for a second time, then I definitely need a rhythmic pulse. If you sometimes arduous touring today? Or is the feeling of standing on the stage, so to speak, a must for you? Have you ever thought about to quit? Ian Anderson: 1972 I've been thinking, though. I was at the end of "Thick as a Brick 'tour and thought: This is the end. I am not able to entertain an audience. Everything screams, yells and scolds confused. The Beatles, it's was not much different. All came to experience an event, do not listen to music. They hated it as much as I do. They could not perform their own music. Incidentally, this was a major reason for their resolution. They found that they could no longer occur and enjoy it. The fun was gone. And that happened probably the best band that has ever existed on this planet. I suffered a similar fate, but in the next or the next day it went away. But I had to think about what else could be me. Have you flown home to relax after your cat to Scotland? Ian Anderson: At that time I did not live in Scotland. I had a small studio in London. A simple life. I had to adjust my music to the expectations of the audience. A theatralischere show was needed. We then developed further. 2012 and 2013, it is this: People come and find not a traditional rock concert, but more modern theater. I'm not an actor, but deliver theater elements on the stage. Today, I will almost never interrupted on stage. Rare times a whistling in the wrong place, but if that happens, it usually also the same one who remembers. I think 80 percent of the people who will come to your concert in Gronau, come for "Locomotive Breath". How do you feel about that? Ian Anderson: That's easy for me. We usually play it today as an encore, especially in Germany. It's also a great, simple piece, even if the text is not so simple. The story revolves around my perception of the pace of cultural, technological and social changes in the years around 1970 to population growth and sustainability. The topic, however, there were already 100 years before. People do sometimes today as if they invented something that did not exist before. Globalization and all these terms. This is nothing new. It's about our ambitions for territorial claims to human ambitions and human greed. "Locomotive Breath" is just a metaphor for life. Everything is always in motion, and we can not stop it. It puts us in an unforeseeable future. Today, we know at least that happens with all unpredictable an inevitable climate change. All these things we can not escape. Future generations will this earth can not feed. But we must always be aware of where we come from, and that we all have the same origin. So when I say "Locomotive Breath" sing today, the song is almost more sense than before. Otherwise you are as a musician simply always be best measured by what the age bear. I must humble myself, because I do not want to die one day on stage at any concert at 40 degrees Celsius during the heart attack. Rather then the circle of your cats on the couch at home in Scotland? Ian Anderson: That does not, however, the probability is still higher. I'm definitely more cautious today. I better conserve my strength on stage. Have musical plans for the future?
Ian Anderson: I have written a new album. On 1 January at 9 clock I started. It took two weeks and it's as good as done. On 2 December, we go into the studio. As long as no atomic bomb drops or I drop dead, it is then taken. No reason for shifts.
Will you take on the current band?
Ian Anderson: No reason which would speak against it. We get along just fine. I hope our drummer will be fit again by then. He must first complete his rehab. I have it maybe in the last two years driven a bit too hard with my music
When will the new album come out?
Ian Anderson: There will probably be a late Easter present. Twelve weeks, you must expect a new album from mastering through to marketing and promotion today. The runs today quite different than before. Facebook, eBay, Amazon, presentation on the website. A tough job. The week after Easter, that could work. We will do our best that all hardcore fans to the new album as soon as possible.Last question: The people should come to your Gronau appearance because. . .? Ian Anderson. . . they are not busy that night with hair washing because nothing on TV is running, because no important football match takes place. I like the idea of a small portion of uncertainty at a concert. I would not be completely predictable. Go to a Meat Loaf concert, you know beforehand exactly what you expected. I'm trying to avoid. I wish that there is a little secret, a surprise awaits the people at my concert.

Google translate: www.wn.de/Welt/Kultur/Ian-Anderson-beim-Jazzfest-Gronau-Toccata-und-Fuge-in-d-metal Ian Anderson beim Jazzfest Gronau Toccata und Fuge in „d-metal“ With his flute, he put fans in a state of intoxication. Now guested Ian Anderson with Jethro Tull at Jazzfest Gronau Frank Zimmermann It is a concert and starts but as a spectacle: men inspect in brown coats janitor and sweep the stage. This video snippets of storage facilities are shown that are reminiscent of recordings of surveillance cameras. The start of Ian Anderson Jethro Tull at the 25th Jazzfest Gronau had an idea of what followed: a perfectly orchestrated multimedia show. With it, the bridge between the music of the 70s and the internet embossed presence was easily attained. The two albums' Thick as a Brick "(1972) and" Thick as a Brick II "(2012) formed the musical focus of the concert. They were further enriched by pieces from the 1970s and compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. However, guitarist Florian Opahle presented Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor on his way: well-hung as a heavy metal solo. In the following Bourée but Anderson's flute then had the upper hand again. The now 65-year-old Jethro Tull frontman proved in Gronau, that his progressive rock is not dusty, even after 40 years. But the ecstatic Rumpelstiltskin earlier days is not Anderson. Instead, he has brought to the singer and actor Ryan O'Donnell, a young alter ego to the side. Gives the concert with his performances almost a musical painting. However, the great music does not diminish, and at the latest (unfortunately only) adding "Locomotive Breath" the Jazz Fest crowd is happy and satisfied. Ian Anderson sieht aus wie ein verrückter Seeräuber – ist aber ein begnadeter Musiker. Foto: Hartmut Springer Ian Anderson looks like a crazed pirates - but is a gifted musician.

Careful as you read: Google translate Sein Markenzeichen ist die Querflöte: Ian Anderson Foto: Pro His trademark is the flute Ian Anderson Photo: Pro "Ich bin zu faul gewesen" BZ-INTERVIEW: Ian Anderson von Jethro Tull kommt auf seiner "Thick as a Brick"-Welttournee nach Basel und Freiburg. "I've been too lazy" BZ-INTERVIEW: Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is on his "Thick as a Brick 'tour to Basel and Freiburg. www.badische-zeitung.de/rock-pop/ich-bin-zu-faul-gewesen--71803256.htmlIt was the early 70s to the sizes of the rock scene: Ian Anderson and his band played some Jethro Tull album a classic. One of them, "Thick as a Brick", he brings to his current world tour completely on the stage - along with the continuation of which was published last year "TAAB 2". Today he comes to Basel, next week he performs in Freiburg, before Alfred Rogoll spoke to the 65 years ago in Scotland Dunfermline-born Anderson. BZ: Mr. Anderson, you are known as the man who brought rock music into the late 60s the flute. How did you get it then? Ian Anderson: Because I badly played lead guitar for five years and then a better guitar player joined our band. So I decided to do something different. My little music instruments store exchanged my Fender Stratocaster with a 60 dollar flute and a Shure microphone. The guitar today would be worth $ 30,000 - a bad business, but good for me. No one was playing flute, Jethro Tull got a huge recognition. I was not good, I started playing the flute only two or three weeks before we acted as Jethro Tull. BZ: That you were beginners, nor listen to your second, exquisitely arranged album "Stand Up". Anderson: I could not even produce a clean sounding note initially. So I came up with the idea to combine that with synchronous singing, I sang the sound even while I was playing it. BZ: Before you even made music - what were your first musical experience? Anderson: Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman - Big Band and Jazz Bar Music. My father had 78s shellac records. He played on a large mono-conditioning, so a wooden cabinet. From 1955, I heard Bill Haley & The Comets and Elvis Presley. The only way to get that music into his own hands, was then by mail-order. And I saved all my pocket money to get a Ukelele. I had seen her in a picture with Elvis, they looked great. But when they arrived, I was incredibly disappointed terribly thin, plastic, and the four strings were unable to vote. My first encounter with music was very frustrating. BZ: How do you keep it with classical music? Anderson: Bach was the first composer I loved. Beethoven close behind. But just who accompanies me intensely. His 3 and 7 Symphony are huge, and the 9th Symphony is the crowning glory. And there were small echoes of Beethoven from folklore, with great respect for the emotional content of popular music. Blues, rock and jazz are certainly important for my compositions - but were much more important classical music, folk, and formulated crude, world music. BZ: How do you compose your pieces? Anderson: The music was always easy for me, the lyrics seriously. I can not always write good music, but I know I can do it. To write the lyrics, I have often postponed until the end. Today I try the lyrics, with a title to begin with a concept. Even when I was singing my thing rarely safe. I did not want to hear my voice during rehearsals or recordings. So my teammates often had to leave the studio when I sang. The uncertainty accompanied me, to this day. BZ: There are many people who love your albums. Anderson: Thank you. But none of what I have written is great. Some things are good, some slightly embarrassing. BZ: Why did you do a sequel to "Thick As A Brick" 40 years after the original album? Anderson: I probably do not have much time before I die. We should all remain active in our last years. The next 20 or 25 years I plan to work more. I have the feeling that they have been too lazy. Now I give 120 concerts annually. We are now in the second year of "Thick as a Brick" Tour go. And I start in mid-November with the recording sessions for a new album stylistically different. It is to be published in 2014. BZ: What kind of music is that? Anderson: It would be tempting to describe details now, but it is not yet mature. It is lively, maybe more rock-oriented than previous albums.[/color] BZ: In your band today with Florian Ophale from Rosenheim plays a German guitarist. How did that happen? Anderson: He toured twelve years ago with the singer Masha short for us as the opening act. At that time he was very young and probably the first time away from home. He had to play only three or four pieces for a twenty-minute opening, but I was impressed, very disciplined German work ethic, and he's a great guy. BZ: They appear under the name Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, not under the band name. If the old Jethro Tull lineup history? Anderson: Those are still, after 40 years, 26 people. A large family, but I believe in small families. My current formation is also not a new band more. Florian Ophale is now longer a member, as it was the guys in the 70s, keyboardist and bassist David Goodier and John O'Hara are for ten years. The musicians on "Thick as a Brick" were there except Martin Barre, five, six, seven years. Then they gave the music on. BZ: At the concerts on your current world tour ... Anderson (interrupting): Oh yes, "Thick as a Brick 1", 20 minute break, "TAAB 2", addition, and two and a half to three hours after you have come into the building, you have permission to go back home . We conclude on the outputs and leave you screaming to cars or public transport run. Great movie, but fortunately keeps the audience happy through to the bitter end. But for us players it's a long show. - Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson plays' Thick as a Brick ": Basel, Muscial Theatre, today, Sat, 11 May, 20 Clock, Note: www.musicaltheaterbasel.ch Freiburg Concert Hall, Sat, 18 May, 20 clock, BZ-card service 0761/496 8888. JETHRO TULL Ian Anderson wrote with his band Jethro Tull music history: With the album "Stand Up" in 1969, he broke out of the British blues-rock in the direction of folk and classical music, and made himself as the bard of the flute with the trademark. "Aqualung" established in 1971 finally their style, "Thick as a Brick" joined in 1972 the way to the concept album from: Anderson told here the story of the child prodigy Gerald Bostock, is awarded the prize for his poem "Dumb as a plank", but provoked a scandal, because it goes against God and the world. Musically, the album has catchy, while it is not knit simple: "There was so much detail in it," notes Florian Ophale, Anderson's current guitarist, "here's a little note in the derivative action, since a quieter bassline - what's happening there, that's right checked out stuff! " Ophale also says of the studio work for "TAAB 2": "Ian is a fantastic producer, I have since learned scary for interaction." www.musicaltheaterbasel.ch/programm/programmbersicht/jethro-tulls-ian-anderson-11.05.2013

Google translate: Interview with Ian Anderson, leader of Jethro Tull: "If I were gay, I wish I could marry." And about Berlusconi ... Barbara Tomasino, The Huffington Post | Posted: 22/05/2013 15:39 EDT | Updated: 22/05/2013 16:00 www.huffingtonpost.it/2013/05/22/intervista-ian-anderson_n_3318757.html?utm_hp_ref=italy"I'm not gay, or maybe you and I do not know because I've never had sex with other men, but if they did and I fell in love with a man, I would have the right to join him legally. This can happen in a church or in a civil ceremony, but I understand that the church's speech is more complex, especially in your country where politics and religion are closely Catholic. I believe that as the marriage between persons of the opposite sex, so gay marriage should be done with conviction and not superficially. Maybe even a homosexual couple has yet to be convinced, because once married will undergo external pressures much higher than a heterosexual couple. All the times that I can support the gay community and support their battles, I repeat: if I were gay I wish I could marry. " We have reached Ian Anderson - historic leader of the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull - while engaged in some dates in Germany to talk about the upcoming Italian tour (which includes three dates: on 17th June in Grugliasco (Turin), 18 in Villafranca (Verona) and 20 in Rome) and of the hot topics that arroventano Europe today, from the recently approved gay marriage in England and France, the economic crisis that does not seem to loosen the grip. What do you think of adoptions to gay couples? I do not think a gay couple must necessarily adopt a child, one of the two may be the biological father or mother, today there are so many ways to give birth to a son and raise him in the family that feels more right. But I return to the concept of first: if you are aware that the union with a person of the same sex will then take criticism from the company, you have to think that in this case your son will be subjected to the same pressures. Today I believe the company still has many reservations about gay couples, especially with children, but I like to think that in 20 years will be seen as a normal thing. In Italy there is a movement that has a substantial representation in Parliament which supports the decrease happy, I read some of his statements in the past on the subject ... what is your opinion? I believe that at this time very different countries in Europe have some traits in common, but each one can respond to the crisis in different ways depending on its economic and social structure. In Germany, for example, the geopolitical and economical it is enough to ensure a certain equality across the country and most people have a job thanks to the manufacturing industry, and also in England - generalizing - production is spread over fairly evenly across the country. But countries such as Spain and Italy have their territories divided into two: one part is rich and productive, and the other suffers, the north of your country has always been productive and wealthy, the south is devoid of development and wealth. In Spain, the rich region of Catalonia claim independence just for economic reasons, because it is one of the leading regions of the country while the south is hard. Let's face it: it was really a good idea to allow Greece to join the European Union having regard to its economic conditions? It was not clear that he could not hold a candle to a country like Germany? The idea of the European community is beautiful, but we have to see if it still makes sense and if it really is achievable. About economy, in recent years he has dedicated himself to a salmon farm in the North of Scotland to create a very profitable venture, how did this passion? It's something that I created at the end of the 80s, I was 11 fish farms, a smokehouse and two processing plants, but around 2001 I sold everything because I had over 50 and I wanted to dedicate myself to my music and my family and stand behind a company that requires much effort. I believe that with hindsight it was a wise choice: seen as things are going economically in Europe, if I had kept the company today perhaps would sleep on the street. What do you think of Cameron's move to hold a referendum on Europe? If you ask today to the British many of them will respond depending on the emotion of the moment, for this to hold a referendum in a time of crisis it is risky: the question of the EU is very complex and the release of a member country means many things to consider. The important thing is that when we're called to have our say there is expressed on the basis of rationality, to some serious arguments, and not on emotion. My personal opinion is that we have to stay in Europe, but some things ranging structural change: Angela Merkel hopes to be re-elected and no doubt is an important European political leaders, but I do not think that is the right person who can guide Europe and Germany towards the change we need. There are enormous difficulties to sustain, especially in countries such as Spain and Greece, but are not very optimistic that there are around the right people to address them. In those days it was published the latest book by Dan Brown, which speaks of overpopulation of the planet. She also addressed the issue of population suggesting that should be checked, in what way? What I said is that there is a kind of obsession by politicians to overcome the crisis through growth at all costs to the economy. I live on an island where he lives three times as many people who could hold in terms of sustainability, social welfare and domestic economy. If we also consider climate change, we realize that we can not produce enough food for everyone and this will increase hunger in the world. I find it absurd that in my country there is this desire to give birth to many children just to get all the tax benefits available to us, is not an absolute value of having a large family. I'm not talking about birth control, which is something that violates the rights of individuals, but of education: I wish I could live in a country where most people have a job, a home, a family and a bit 'of money to spend your fun ... but if you let grow out of the population, it is difficult to sustain a high level of economic and social welfare. I think everyone's dream is to start a family: a man, a woman and two children are perfection, why want more? To collect things? How can anyone believe in a world like the one we live today want to give birth to so many children? It is a question of responsibility towards future generations and to all countries of the globe. However, to reconnect to your question, I say that Dan Brown is not a reliable writer: pay other people to write for him and his research are based on the articles of Wikipedia ... I do not think that his theories about overpopulation have scientific or intellectual credibility. Follow Italian politics? What do you think of famous people like Berlusconi or cricket? I like a man who knows how to have fun! Seriously, I think the temptation is part of being human, but when a few weeks ago Berlusconi is back on top of perhaps the Italians saw as a problem, I do not think that is the right man that serves to Italy right now it's too old, she's wearing the label of corruption and is now part of history. I also understand that you look at him and his path with a certain affection, is a hilarious character, but not a political leader of 2013. Perhaps you would need a stronger character, determined, but I do not know if you have access to a Angela Merkel among our politicians. We do not own, are not Germans ... I know, but you do not even an Ian Anderson ... now I'm too old, but if I had 30 years less than I would be tempted to explore the world of politics. Last year he celebrated 40 years of Thick As A Brick with a world tour, now back live with the Best of Jethro Tull that involves three stages Italian ... she often comes to play in our country, what is its relationship with Italy? With my music around the world and everywhere I go I find Chinese restaurants or stuff like that, but my first choice is always Italian food, I love cooking Italian made by mothers. Your kitchen is the first thing that comes to my mind one of the things I love, but also add the "heart" of the Italians, the way that you have to experience the feelings that is very different from ours, in England the feelings are repressed and we are not used to talk about our emotions, or to show them. For me you have a healthy way to show your feelings, you are more open and free. Despite the statements of intent from several years ago - "Too Old To Rock'n'Roll, Too Young To Die" (a famous song by Jethro Tull, ed) - exceeded 60 she is still here, to make rock 'n' 'roll ... Just pretend that I'm an actor: I play a part, I'm not talking about myself, and if I write a song - even if it is sung in the first person -'m representing a character, I'm not necessarily talking about my life. Too Old To Rock'n'Roll is not a statement about the music, but the culture that includes fashion, lifestyle, the clothing that was in the 50s and 60s, it has nothing to do with making music. As for me, I work every day: I'm 65 and I carry on my business as when I was 25. Fashions have changed and today, more than to rock, hip hop and electronics you look, yet giants such as Jethro Tull, The Stones, Bowie, are still around and people will cheer ... why? The music never goes out of fashion, people will continue to listen to the things written in the '40 / '50 until today, and then if you think about it electronics is not a novelty, but a kind came out in the 80s ... not talk about the rap, that even grew up in the streets of New York in the late '70s and now dominates the charts. I think good music, that engraved 30 or 40 years ago, you will also hear in 2053 is not something that has to do with age and at the bottom of the pop-rock music around this time has not changed much : If you look at the structures of the songs, there are big differences between before and now. You've sold millions of records and you have imposed on the music scene with a tricky proposition: introduce elements of "classic" in the rock through his trademark, the flute. What made Jethro Tull so big? If you think my music is hard to think about it: I have often written things were challenging both musically and lyrically, it was not easy to understand what was behind the words. But I do not think that at all affect things simple, 40 years ago we went to the moon not because it was an easy thing, but because it was a challenge. We all, meaning the globe, we celebrated that moment not because it was no mean feat, but because they have taken risks and has achieved a feat really difficult. If I had devoted to the cover or something, I would not be more than a musician, continuous research and taking risks has preserved me as an artist. And then how do you, when you get old, to keep alive your creativity if you do not set the ongoing challenges ahead? This is not to say that I do not like playing the old hits of Jethro Tull, it is always a thrill.

Very interesting interview covering many topics. I'm not surprised about his opinions as much, as by the questions. Very forward and direct. This shows a serious side to Ian, whether he has influence to world events or not. Sometimes people become uneasy when celebrities or entertainers speak their mind. Well done Ian. I like your responses.

Google translate - Read with caution: www.rockol.it/news-507092/ian-anderson-jethro-tull-nel-2014-un-album-nuovo-poi-chiss%C3%A0Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull): 'In 2014 a new album. Then who knows' All about Ian Anderson Add to Read also: Concerts, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) adds dates in Italy CondividiCommenta Buy June 10, 2013 the Isle of Wight, 1970 all'Estival of Lugano, in 2005, a life on stage: sounds and images that capture moments in the long history of Jethro Tull live again in a boxed set of 4 dvd just released by Eagle Rock which is also an opportunity to realize the many mutations and evolution of a band that has always had one mind and one master, Ian Anderson. " It was you personally to select the material contained in the four video? There's more in the archive? No, in the box there is all the video footage that has been possible to discover in the world. In truth there was any other show, but unfortunately we were not able to track down the original recordings. In one case, as I understand it, the record company was not able to deal with the company that owns the rights, but the rest is more or less all. A portion of that material had already been published by the Eagle, but in this box there is much more. It would be incorrect to say that there are things never seen before, now that you can find just about anything on YouTube, but for true fans and enthusiasts who want quality and a proper package this is a great product. It took a lot of time, effort and work to achieve it, it took us about five years. Watching the videos in order, from the seventies to 2005, it seems to me that your way of being on stage has changed a lot. The beginning affect the eccentric clothes, beard and long hair, the funny facial expressions, that way of playing on one leg and use the flute, sometimes as a kind of prosthesis sexual ... Once your attitude on stage was much more theatrical, today seems much more content ... I do not think that things are exactly like that. In the last show, set to "Thick as a brick 1 & 2 tour", there is a very marked theatricality. On the other hand it would be absurd to repeat in the twenty-first century what worked on stage in the seventies, use the same costumes and play the songs the same way. We need to change over time. What will happen in 2014 I can not tell you more secure, but it is likely that there will be another show theatrical and multimedia today because that's the kind of show that I enjoy most. I am planning some concerts in Italy, conceived as a "best of" Jethro Tull, but for the most part shows that we hold this year, the presentation of "Thick as a brick." And next year there will be another live production for a new studio album ... A new studio album on behalf of Jethro Tull? I do not know the name of who will come out, whether it will be a record of Jethro Tull or Ian Anderson. What is certain is that I'm always writing up the pieces and heal entirely arrangements, engineering and manufacturing. What I'm writing might minimally reflected in the composition of the band, and it must be remembered that all the components of my current group have played over the last few years in Jethro Tull. It 'a question of marks, work under different identities depending on what I do. One of the elements that emerges from watching these videos is the sense of humor of Jethro Tull. In Tampa, Fla., in 1976, the show is introduced by a ribbon of tune and malfunctioning. Then, on stage, telling jokes with the audience that "Thick as a brick" is a cover of Johnny Cash ... The element of humor is sometimes inherent in writing music and lyrics. Other times it is improvised on stage in relation to what is happening at that moment. The humor is part of life, even Italians love to laugh about certain things, no? ... At the time of that concert in Florida, Jethro Tull were already famous in America thanks to "Thick as a Brick" and "A passion play". What do you remember of that moment and the reactions of the American public to your music? The Jethro Tull have been successful in the U.S. more or less from the beginning, we and Led Zeppelin were part of that wave of the British Invasion. The Cream were probably the first British band to come to America and make havoc. Of course, there were the Herman's Hermits, The Beatles and pop bands of the sixties ... but if we talk about music more 'adult' were the first Cream and soon after, in 1969, we came and Zeppelin. Over the following two or three years our success has grown even in Europe, in 1970 already played in Italy. In that time we have become very popular and our music began to be known throughout the world. The behavior of the audience? And 'linked to cultural issues. In different countries people behave in a different way, but I do not like to make comparisons because of the risk of resorting to traditional national stereotypes. The behavior is different if a concert is outdoors or indoors, if there is standing or sitting, whether it is summer or winter, if the performance takes place in a concert hall or elsewhere. The American public is known to be quite loud, to the jeers and shouts and because it tends to live a concert as if it were a sporting event. In 1972, when I performed live everything "Thick as a brick", it was difficult to make sure that the audience listened with attention. It felt very frustrating, and this is one of the reasons why I decided to never play more live on stage that record. Until, in 2010, I decided to try again whereas the times and the cultural climate had changed and that was no way to resubmit the audience a theatrical concert facility. Fortunately proved to be the right time, worldwide audiences greeted us very well by showing appreciation and respect for our efforts. The choice of the flute was definitely unusual, then, for a rock musician ... In the recorded performance all'Estival of Lugano, in 2005, make homage to the origins of the group playing "Serenade to a cuckoo" by Rahsaan Roland Kirk. One of your main influences? It would be unfair to claim that it has never mentioned one of my greatest sources of inspiration. Roland Kirk, to tell the truth, he had a very limited influence on me: when I started playing the flute did not even know who he was. Someone told me about it, I began to listen to one of his records but in the meantime I had already started playing in that style. What I borrowed from Roland Kirk was a particular reason titled "Serenade to a cuckoo," all there. Kirk was a jazz musician who played bebop especially the saxophone. Sure, the album "I talk with the spirits" to play the flute, but he is a jazz musician and I'm not, I'm not able to play that stuff. My main influences are musicians like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix perhaps, guitarists who used their instrument in a very vigorous and sometimes with imagination, improvising solos and riffs, repeated patterns that provided the basis for their melodies. Why the flute, then? Why Eric and Jimi did not know to play. In all the video content in the box the only other constant presence is that of guitarist Martin Barre. What did it mean for the music of Jethro Tull? Well, in Jethro Tull's been 28 musicians and the lead guitarist of the group was Mick Abrahams. Many have given something to the band in terms of energy, enthusiasm, musical style, thus contributing to the arrangements and the shape of the sound. All are important elements of a great family. Martin Barre is one who has played longer in the group and was noted as perhaps others for being the guitarist. I think it's fair to say that he and I have learned the craft together. When Martin joined the band did not have much experience nor a truly personal style. He developed playing in Jethro Tull especially among the '69, '70 and '71. In the following years his playing has improved a lot and at the end of the '80s has become a truly excellent guitarist. Deserves to be recognized as the most important member among the musicians who have played in Jethro Tull ... even if the bandleader, the songwriter, arranger, singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and sound engineer are I. It's up to me sobbarcarmi the hardest part of the job ... I do many things, not to mention that more or less since 1974 is my company to take care of management, administration and all the work behind the scenes on behalf of the band. My position in the group is quite different from that of anyone else. I'm a bandleader more or less as it was Frank Zappa. In the show included in the box set are performed many songs on "Aqualung" album then revisited in full for the concerts of the fortieth anniversary in 2011. Are you thinking that it is the best album of Jethro Tull? Do not reason in terms of albums. I have some favorite songs, instead of a disk favorites. But it is true that if you go to enumerate the songs over the years have remained an important part of the catalog, "Aqualung" you find five or six. "Stand up" has probably as many. And "Thick as a Brick" is an album in turn important for its nature as a concept and why he arrived at number one on the Billboard charts in the United States. Some of my favorite songs, on the other hand, come from albums that are not among the most popular and among the most successful in terms of copies sold. "Aqualung" is certainly a record in the history of Jethro Tull, as are "Songs from the wood", "Stand up" or "Crest of a knave." In Germany, "The broadsword and the beast" is seen as a major albums, while in America are a few to consider a disc essential. Things change from country to country, even if "Aqualung" is appreciated by all: is the album that probably led to Jethro Tull on the size of the theaters in the arenas, we did make a leap forward in terms of popularity . The vision of these videos allows you to follow a band in constant evolution, changes of style and musicians. In Monaco, 1980 the training is different from that of previous years and the sound became more rock, harder. And in Santiago, in 1996, listening to songs like "Roots to branches" decidedly ethnic flavor. The Jethro Tull were an organism in constant mutation. True. And it was a deliberate decision, to not ever stay still in the same place. There are many artists and bands that remain true to themselves perpetuating the same style and the same kind of music throughout his career. The Status Quo, I would say, are a classic example of a band that has always remained faithful to the same formula. Artists like David Bowie or Jethro Tull, vice versa, they love to experiment a little 'more, evolve over the years: I think being an artist like that, and that's the kind of group where I prefer to be. We were a band rather restless and curious, a group of musicians who asks questions. It 'an attitude with which you have to learn to live together: I do not think Jimi Hendrix, for example, there is never succeeded. And I think that one of the causes of his death was his desire to change, after those two or three years in which he became the most acrobatic of the guitarists, a famous musician, charismatic and spectacular. He wanted to become a musician more serious, was not content to go on stage to play his five or six major successes. It was very hard for him to cope with the pressure and expectations of the public. A very sad thing: I think that if he could live a little 'longer he would find his space. It would still be fun to play the old songs from time to time, but would have had the opportunity to grow as a musician and to experiment with different ideas. He had become so popular that it can not escape the legendary status he had acquired so quickly, and I think this has played a role in the depressed state in which he had fallen when he played with us the Isle of Wight, a few weeks before his death. He could not handle the situation, but for me it is not a problem: I have a different character. I can quite easily cope with the expectations and pressures of the public. In the steps of the concerts I put the songs that I like and that the public want to hear, but does not run just because the public wants to hear. There are a couple of songs of Jethro Tull that eseguirei ever live. I do not like playing them, it's always been the case and the situation has not changed. Luckily, many of my favorite songs of Jethro Tull are also those most appreciated by the public, and the problem does not arise. "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath" are among my favorite pieces, but if you asked me to play "Teacher" or "Bungle in the jungle" I am afraid that I should politely decline the invitation. These are songs that I like to do live, were written with a very specific purpose which was to get radio airplay. These pieces are deliberately more commercial. Do not excite me, neither musically nor for text, and I do not think that they can be taken as examples of my work better. Maybe sometime I have also played on stage in the past, but definitely not in the last 30 years! Today, however, most of the repertoire that I play on stage has to do with specific projects, conceptual works that are for me a big challenge. I try to explain to the public in advance of what it is: it is not written on the ticket but only Jethro Tull something that explains what you can expect to hear. If you go to a concert Status Quo, Iron Maiden or the Rolling Stones know you will hear the songs you expect to hear, the best-known pieces of the repertoire. But if the ticket says "Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull plays Thick as a brick" you know what to expect, "Thick as a Brick" 1 & 2 with an interval of twenty minutes. You know that "Aqualung", "Bourée", "Living in the past", "Budapest" or "Cross-eyed Mary" are not part of the show. You mentioned a new album ... We'll start to record it on December 10. And after the Christmas break we hope to finish it by January, so as to publish it by the end of April 2014. In the new show and run this program in full, running something old repertoire after the interval. These are my plans for 2014 and part of 2015. What will happen next, I'm afraid I can not tell you. What kind of music can we expect? If you want a definition, in conventional terms, for the music I'm finishing writing I would say that we could call it folk-prog-metal. It 'music influenced by jazz, rock, classical, folk. It will be a rock album, less noise. There are a couple of episodes in which live I will take up the acoustic guitar, but for the rest I will sing and blow the flute. And 'long that I do not do an album like that, I hung up my acoustic guitar but there is not much space for that instrument in the music that I started writing a couple of months ago. You just have to wait, then, to see who we play and under what name ... Everything depends on the contracts, the availability of the musicians and their desire to do anything else in life ... I can not promise anything more than what was Frank Zappa when asked who would be in his band the following year. It 's like a football team: I'm sure the fans would be glad to know who will play and who will be the manager in 2014. I can do better, I can tell you that in 2014 I will be the manager, and the man who goes into the field to score goals. Steven Wilson, credited as mixing engineer in "Thick as a brick 2", oversaw the remixing and remastering of classics such as "Stand up", "Aqualung" and "Thick as a brick." Are confirmed plans for the forthcoming publication of other remastered albums? Yes, Steven has completed the work before the end of last year and the programs provided a publication from 2013. I think the idea was to publish "Benefit" a little 'before, but now the release is scheduled for October, while "A passion play" and "The Chateau disaster tapes" are scheduled for 2014: this, at least, is what I said EMI a few days ago when I entreated him. I think "Benefit" has been moved to October because that's when we'll be back on tour in the United States and also because it is the best time of year to put on the market a reprint of that sort. In fact, it makes sense to coincide with the publication of our concerts in the U.S., because it is in the United States and Canada that focuses 80 percent of our market, in terms of record sales and tickets. It 'a pragmatic decision, that of EMI, although at that time may not even exist anymore because the acquisition by Universal that took almost two years to be approved by the Committee of the monopolies. It 'possible that Warner has the product in hand for Christmas, since by the year should take possession of our back catalog. No one knows when this will happen at the time. There is a possibility that something jumps out again, maybe only in audio format, from the archives of Jethro Tull? No, I swear that there is nothing that has not already been posted. No old tape, no auditions, alternate versions, video or television programs unpublished. Absolutely nothing. However, I will continue to explore the songs I've written over the years, maybe playing them live or recording them with different arrangements or with different musicians. Life goes on ... I'm 65, I can not expect miracles and in a few years I'll have to stop Until then, though, get ready to face more challenging projects. I tend to concentrate on what I will do today, tomorrow or next week. The rest is a plus. At my age you tend to plan a little 'things, and now I do it year after year. It would be stupid, I believe, extend beyond the look: wherever he goes, someone I knew is no longer with us or is no longer able to play. And 'the harsh realities of aging: the musicians tend to suffer from arthritis, it happened to Keith Richards and Martin Barre also had problems with advancing age. It's not easy to play, when you become old. I consider myself very lucky. A couple of years ago I broke a finger, I had knee problems and I had surgery but unlike many other musicians I know I have not any permanent damage because of my job, nothing that affects my ability to play a instrument. I keep trying and keep in operation, do not spend long periods without ever playing. I played the flute or guitar every day of my life, and before a tour or a series of concerts of usually spend three or four days to try hard because I need to be fit, to be able to give their best. It 'sa bit like a race car driver, is not to arrive at the circuit and jumps in the car waiting for the green light. You have to do tests and trials during the off-season, you have to prepare. For a musician is the same. Today I feel in perfect shape, 100 per cent. In two years, who knows. (Alfredo Martian) Listen to the latest news Rockol

Of course, the album came out last year, of great quality, "Thick as a Brick 2" did not affect the count of the number of records sold by the band led by Ian Anderson (account that exceeds 65 million records). But Tuesday night, on stage at the Festival of Villafranca Villafranca di Verona, listen to the "Pied Piper" of rock, has made it clear that not only does man live rap or electronic music fan. And that some of the songs Tull, transfigured by a quality out of the ordinary (very high even for the years in which they were written), exceeded the decades and dressed in the clothes of the classics go out of style. Fresh and impressive today as yesterday. The live on Tuesday, an hour and 45 minutes of net delays and breaks, had to be a look at the "best of" Jethro Tull. And it has been for the most part, although in the lineup, as it should be, Anderson wanted to include songs that are best and not just the most famous ones (which still are not missed). The start is with one of those "classics" that could have been written today, "Living in the Past", then a tribute to the early days of the folk band "Beggar's Farm" from the first album "This was" 1968. "After these two pieces of the early years here is one for which we were considered a pop band ... for four days - Anderson jokingly says, his voice set from radio speaker - for you "Witch's Promise" from "Benefit" of 1970. " After the piece that I can not shake off the weight of years, there comes a 16-minute excerpt from "Thick as a Brick", the masterpiece album of Tull in the spirit of progressive: the extraordinary emotional ability to engage the audience inserted in musical structure that has the complexity and austere profile of a Gothic cathedral. The next surprise is that of two pieces taken from the result of the great classic "Thick as a Brick", published last year. Here come the politics, "Banker Bets, Banker Wins" and "Wootton Bassett Town", which does not disfigure even if the public remains somewhat puzzled Verona, heartened by the classic "Cross-Eyed Mary" (which is to blows with time) and the genial "Bourée," an adaptation of 1969 for flute and rock band "Lute Suite No. 1 BWV 996" by Bach. After a break of 15 minutes, which Anderson himself spear, with his usual irony, to "go to the toilet and cool off with a drink," the band formed by John O'Hara on keyboards, veteran David Goodier on bass, Florian Opal to guitar and Scott Hammond on drums, takes place for another 45 minutes of music. "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die" is pretty tight, but the audience warms especially with "Songs from the Wood" (1977, also from the same album "Hunting Girl") and "My God", elaborate and effective as a gun Ottoman. The surprise is "Budapest" in 1987, and we must stand up for "Aqualung" where Anderson gives the best of himself, mobile and agile as a twenty year old (despite the 65 springs continues to play the flute focusing on one leg and jumping from side to side of the stage tirarando kicks to the sky). Only one encore. And what a. "Locomotive Breath". "Bye bye", greets the Pied Piper in response to a standing ovation from the audience.

Google is just having fun now; JETHRO TULL/Again I tune in its www.zvuki.ru/R/P/31027/The group Jethro Tull in 2011 turned into a cat Schrödinger: on the one hand, the group officially on the decay has not announced, but on the other hand - there are no activities under the banner of Jethro Tull is not made. However, the tireless chertyaka Ian Anderson (Ian Anderson) does not give up: he, along with some of the musicians Tull actively performs solo, calling such voyages "Ian Anderson plays Jethro Tull". Anderson's solo composition of the team is different from the last official of Jethro Tull slightly less than full. Judge for yourself - bassist David Gude (David Goodier) and keyboardist John O'Hara (John O'Hara) played in the band since 2007, and gradually moved into Anderson's solo project. Given that it was O'Hara posted in the team for all the concert arrangements, to leap into a new incarnation of Tull in Anderson and the company has turned virtually painless. Ian goes on accurate, and reliable way - he goes on tour with the legendary material plates Tull, playing out the entire live album that any fan of rock music knows by heart. Now it's time to "Thick As A Brick" - the classic 1972 opus. Album was originally planned as a single and indivisible composition for a period of time (it still had to be divided in half, as the two sides of the plate, after all). The full album is not performed at concerts ever (in the 70's group from time to time played a shortened 70-minute version), but today, Anderson decided to still revive old. In fact, we are waiting for the premiere - a concert of two parts Ian and his band will play the entire album (with intermission middle) - and maybe even prepare a live album, "live" version of "Thick As A Brick" also still exists. So - run to the concert, to take up the stories! Ian Anderson plays Jethro Tull Moscow, Crocus City Hall September 7 20.00

Another interview about TAAB2 think not yet published on this forum: freekmagazine.com/2012/04/27/ian-anderson-de-jethro-tull/google translator: "When all of you are watching the football I'd rather be sleeping in my bed"By Cesar Stew · 27/04/2012 · MUSIC INTERVIEWS, MUSIC · Tagged: Aqualung, Gerald Bostock, Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick, Thick as a Brick 2 Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, asks: "What was Gerald Bostock?" Ian Anderson, rock legend and leader of Jethro Tull, has over 40 years blowing flutes to a leg, ripping guitars, dancing with your fingers on hammonds organs or strolling violins arcs, and could go well with a myriad of instruments. This April has been released as a solo album "Thick as a Brick 2 Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock?" Published by Emi, part of what was probably the masterpiece of Jethro Tull, "Thick as a Brick" and one of the great landmarks of progressive rock. Sir Ian Anderson tells us stories of the old days of rock but also speaks of the new generations, and with a good dose of cynicism, the same as used in their songs, we makes clear his utter dislike for football and all that surrounds the beautiful game. Freek: This April will publish "Thick As A Brick 2". The sequels do not usually have good reviews, do you expect to be as close to "The Godfather 2", in musical key? Obviously I hope it's one of those exceptions. The essential idea is not a sequel to use in the cinematic sense. The album jumps forty years into the future, it's not like "Rocky III" and "Rocky IV", is a great step forward in the musical and lyrical sense. There is a degree of continuity with the 1972 album, not as in the film to try to exploit a successful premiere in two years and take the sequel: "Rocky II," "Rocky III" ... Do not wait 40 years to get "Rocky IV" because Sylvester Stallone would be dead. What interested me was to investigate how these forty years have changed people, to me, to Gerald Bostock fictional character, you, your mother and my son. Internet has changed, communication, networking and social media have changed us. Today we accept all these things as part of our lives, but forty years ago were not there. The culture is different, and we as young adults we need to continue to make decisions, and as usual we keep making mistakes, keep teasing her. Freek: On the album imagine how life would have been Gerald Bostock, the boy who invented and that album supposedly inspired. Imagine actually several lives for him ... but what would you like to become Gerald? I have chosen a life for Gerald options very extreme, could have chosen more extreme options, could have become an astronaut or a movie star or president of a small country where he would be an evil dictator, although that would be too extreme. But worst of all would have been to make professional football player. I can not stand football, when all are drinking beer and watching football I'd rather be sleeping in my bed. When these young people learn to stop spitting and cheat can you see the football, until then just shove me in bed early or drink beer on my own, my own. My favorite option was to make policy, but decided not to make any music or lyrics with him as a politician, just a reference on the album cover to Gerald Bostock as a retired politician. I think it would have been my preferred choice, but in a sense also seemed too obvious. Freek: Alternarás in live songs from either album? Or is a tour designed only for this new album? Direct costs include songs from the two albums, will be divided into 45 minutes aproxidamente with the first part and about 55 minutes for the second part, we will play two full albums, which will be a great adventure for us and an adventure even more to the public . Will all run screaming ... Ha ha ha ... Freek: It's funny how every so often witnessed the emergence of clones of veterans and classical artists and Rolling Sound speech, sound Beatles, the Stooges sound ... but it is something that rarely happens with Jethro Tull and sound . What do you think the problem? Are ye inimitable perhaps? Many musicians and bands have told me the great influence it has had on them the music of Jethro Tull. The people of Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bob Geldof and Sting, and more recently I have seen people from Opeth talking about Jethro Tull. And with our shirts! We have influenced many types of groups present progressive rock bands and heavy metal ... Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden has always said that Jethro Tull was one of the reasons that made him pursue music, and now I learn from him and is a influence on me. I also learned to fly a passenger jet a couple of days ago, so I'm following in the footsteps of Bruce Dickinson ... So I hope to also wear a uniform with stripes on the sleeves and take you flying to hell and back again, ha ha ha. It is not easy to imitate what many artists, each has its own character, and some are easier to imitate, can imitate Elvis, the pop singers can imitate Mariah Carey, in the sense that they do these guys from "X Factor" or programs like that, but not so easy to imitate rock artists that have their own sound and idiosyncrasies. There are many bands that make versions of Jethro Tull, and seems very easy to imitate me, at least in the voice, yet most do not even come close. Not that what I do is hard, it will not fit with everyone. I think in some ways it is difficult to imitate, sometimes I find it difficult even to me ... Ha ha ha ... Freek: What current bands the attention of Ian Anderson? Within the rock can resultarme difficult to find something special, it all sounds so familiar, and heavy bands such as Opeth, I enjoy listening to it, but I do not sound so different. Maybe we should not expect things to sound so different. We live in a world where everything is recycled, paper, plastic bottles ... and the music is also recycled. We keep going back, picking things up, we change slightly, and we use it again, maybe in this case is a good thing or not ... "We live in a world where everything is recycled, paper, plastic bottles ... and the music is also recycled." Freek: really live in a world of recycling and cut and paste. Yes, it is true, we all do and I think in many cases it is very convenient, both in everyday life, when you buy a train ticket and copies the data, and why not, also in music. This world of cut and paste, scanning, etc., is very comfortable, just twenty years ago you had to repeat everything, nowadays thanks to all these advances is very easy to move information around the world. This technology was not here doing nothing and I think sometimes gives us new opportunities to create art and make our fast and sometimes even better. But we can not get away from a Hammond organ, a Gibson Les Paul, of flutes acoustic and traditional instruments have been around for 50 or 200 years with us, those are the sounds we created, what we do with them and how they present them to the people through technology. I'm interested in music with real sounds played by real people. Freek: You said once that reading magazines like Melody Maker or NME as a dependent on your work inspired you to try their hand at music. What is your opinion of the current music press? You think it's as inspiring as before? We now have a huge amount of information online so reading a magazine is not as exciting. If you were 18 years old, in 66 or 67, were waiting for the arrival of the Melody Maker to stores to run out and buy it and read about your musical heroes. Today it is so easy to find much material on the net I think the emotion is not there, but the fact that information is so available gives people more opportunities at the time, and the opportunity to learn about many things . In fact maybe if it was not for internet would not be talking to you, in fact is what will happen in 30 seconds because I'm late to the interview below ... "We can not get away from a Hammond organ, a Gibson Les Paul, of flutes acoustic and traditional instruments have been around for 50 or 200 years with us" Freek: I'll be quick, Speaking of the past and music press, you really decide to play on one leg following a music critic? Subjection Apparently one night at a concert your harmonica with one leg and with the other mic stand, and a journalist spoke to you the next day as the flutist who played on one leg ... the story is true? Guess what I'll be quick to say that to all the girls, ha ha ha. Yes, the story is true, played harmonica with one leg and was learning to play the flute, I jumped to touch also with one leg and it did, a journalist published it. And it has become a logo for life without a leg flutist would be another band. And my picture on the cover of the disc: in 74 the record company wanted my face on the cover and the press wanted to talk to me because they thought I was in charge ... and they were right, ha ha ha. It is great that can make concerts like Ian Anderson or Jethro Tull, and the difference is that when one of Jethro Tull some who should be watching football come to the concert and make it a little more difficult, and when it's Ian Anderson football brewers colleagues stay in their homes or watching football and we can all have a happier concert. It's a cultural thing, sometimes football fans respect, but other times they just want to listen to loud rock and I'm an acoustic musician, I play the flute, acoustic guitar and I like to listen.

Still got a few in a large folder in the archive, some of which I posted here but the days of dodgy typos, smudgy paper and interviews with well meaning but long forgotten artists are a thing of the past. Great shame.

Google translate; Oh Yeah gaffa.dk/anmeldelse/76376Review / Live / Saturday 21-09-2013 at . 08:29 Ian Anderson Thick As A Brick 1 + 2 , Falconer Salen , Copenhagen , Friday the 20th September 2013 Reviewed by Carsten Skov Photo: Jan Chrillesen GAFFA 4 stars Readers 4.17 stars on average ( after 6 votes) Solid, but not quite like the old days Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull has been a part of my musical baggage, since I like bogopsætter in a library recommended those who sat the purse strings that they were buying " A Passion Play " for the children's library . Admitting it outright . A public bad investment , however, is likely to fall below the minimum limit . Since I was carried away by a now former brother in law , warmly said Ian Anderson as one of rock music's most talented composers. It's been many years since then , the hair has grown gray and approaching retirement so small , both for Ian Anderson and myself. In addition, there may be overall a bit of dust on my Tull CDs and songs are not just the front of the memory longer . Last year he released Ian Anderson as " Thick As A Brick 2" . This time, in his own and not Jethro Tulls name. It is in itself a risky endeavor. 2s always the danger of going horribly wrong , so you have to go directly to '3 ' . Ian Anderson ventured anyway coat and gives the new album until several suggestions as to how it has gone Gerald Bostock , the fictional protagonist at number one in 1972 , since he in the newspaper from the fictional town of St. Cleve was proclaimed literary genius . These are all wrapped up in similar imaginative and ironic fiction. Public's high expectations In the evening's concert in Copenhagen was greeted just as strongly represented as expectant audience up . The talk went on topics such as: Do we wonder numbers other than the two " Thick As A Brick " album ... and what was perhaps even more important : Can Ian Anderson still stand on one leg while playing the flute ? Even before the light was dim, only started one , since more men in brown overalls and caps to sweep and tidy on the stage. It went slowly up to the audience that it probably was not just roadies , not least because one of the men found a bra behind one of medhørshøjttalerne ... and then looked out over the audience to find out who had mislaid it. It was actually the , shall we say " ordinary " band members who laid the foundation for the floundering and crooked twinkle in his eye that I and probably many others connect with Ian Anderson. Great excitement was indeed , as there was fixed a spot against Ian Anderson, who caught on to the well-known 40 years old toner . From there , one can say that the scene was very much was consumed by a personality that made her to bring the new band safely through the sometimes very complex arrangements of both " Thick As A Brick " releases. The same template - not quite the same bite Enough excitement was great as it turned out, yes, he COULD actually stand on one leg while playing the flute. But in addition, there was not quite the same spark, the same recklessness of fun , as in the past . Since the first " Thick As A Brick " album came out, there was a concept album that would outperform and preferably well and truly put various of the contemporary concept album from the so-called progressive rock genre into the wall . Today it seems , however, almost antiquated to publish a sequel for almost the same template. Well, of course there are both differences and consistency within and between the two albums . The weaknesses of the new material is particularly evident in the sometimes overly subtle variations on a few themes or melodies , although General of the paper consists of all 17 numbers. On the other hand , there is both good sense and great effect in that Ryan O'Donnell is taken , both to take care of the vocal passages in the bright and high registers , to act Ian Anderson's alter ego and to visualize the underlying history . Show the eye - not so much for the heart Similarly, there is good reason for the many video clips and animations that accompany the music on the big screen. However, it is becoming a bit too corny and not very professional when Ian Anderson pretends to be a call in the middle of the show of violinist Ann Phoebe , who currently after playing on a simulated YouTube video. On the other hand occurs Anderson completely different quirky as Archibald Parritt , quintessentially English gentry who through another simulated YouTube video shows the audience around his estate in a segment from the television station in St. Cleve . However, it will be just a tad too designed for power- settled when the same Parritt , also in a simulated YouTube video , presents the evening's musicians. Thus ends the show as an inordinately well-calculated and routine construction, which seems to resemble last year's concert in Struer worrying much. Since both album and it gradually predictable encore " Locomotive Breath" is played through , is therefore left with a slightly odd feeling . Enough shows the band brought along - and this especially guitarist Florian dropping and hoisting and John O'Hara on keyboards - strength and intensity for long stretches. In the concert's first half sense , however, that the experience is not quite the same ... like the old days . Follow Jethro Tull pressure on the heart

Rock on google www.denik.cz/Olomouc sounds rock stars: Jethro Tull, the new Janis JoplinOlomouc / VIDEO / - Rock the prom with legendary Abraxas, keyboardist Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull and wild Dana Fuchs soon Olomouc music powerfully stirred up the water.

The highlight of the year will be our fourth year of the festival, which is held on 14th June at the Crown complex sconces in Olomouc. The main star of this festival will be legendary Jethro Tull. In July and August we will have the second edition of Olomouc cultural holidays, which will host the distinctive personality of Czech and international cultural scene. Fox with MatonohaYou mentioned an interesting foreign names ... How they can ever get and bring them to Olomouc? idea to organize a concert Jethro Tull came to me already two years ago . I tried to arrange a suitable date for 2013, but this year they did not act on any festival. A year later he accepted our invitation and come with a program called The Best of Tull and at the same time we will present songs from the new album Homo erraticus, which will be released on the 14th April this year. I started with bands that operated only in Manchester and the surrounding area. Over time I got to the musicians and bands known names and managers organizing concerts throughout Europe. With these people I now involves not only professional, but also friendly relations. What Olomouc Cultural holidays? What they are actually going this year? Olomouc Cultural holidays will start first Jul. big concert of American singer Dana Fuchs on the Upper Square in Olomouc, which will be accessible to people for free. This great singer comes from Florida and is regarded as the direct successor Janis Joplin. She portrayed one of the lead roles in the film Across the Universe, which was interwoven with Beatles music. Some of the songs we hear on this concert. The greatest success for the depiction of a character Janis Joplin in the musical Love Janis. Dana Fuchs his appearance and speech meets the vision of an angel with the devil in the flesh. For an angelic appearance hides a devilish rough and velvety voice that breaks halls and disarms the audience. As will support the discovery of Czech music scene, singer Lenny, who is the daughter Lenka Philippi. The other concerts will feature Szidi Tobias, Vladimir Mišík and Etc., Blues music fills Jack Canon from Hungary and also experience a big comeback Burma Jones is a singer BRIAN Joseph. As for the theater, we can look forward to performances Cry, Baby, cry! performed Švandovo theater and Komediograf with Pavel Liska and Thomas Matonoha. Of course there will also be an exhibition in Olomouc galleries Caesar and the Mona Lisa. Iveta Bartošová notShifted by some dramaturgy Olomouc cultural holidays? Let It shall consider the audience. We tried a multi-genre programming. At this year's lovers chanson and two theater performances to the audience present familiar faces Prague theaters. Definitely will not get performance Iveta Bartosova or Dalibor Janda (laughs). New this cultural holiday will be photographic workshop on the theme of Life in Olomouc. The output will be an exhibition of the best photographs. Of course this year we think of traditional fairy tales and children Theaters Tramtarie We extended the circus and theater LeVitare without handles. Dušan Neumann operator Bounty Rock Café in OlomoucReturning to the Bounty Rock Cafe Open Air. That's probably the biggest event this year, right? hope so. It will be really packed with quality bands. Visitors are welcome formation composed of lecturers Olomouc Music Institute. Then will follow a single year's performance Dana Barta band Alice in the Czech Republic. Speaker and Music in Prague with Michael Ambrose. The highlight of the domestic Czech band is a supergroup, where each post occupied by the musician vote Beat radio listeners and readers of the magazine Rock & Pop. The highlight of the evening will of course Jethro Tull Ian Anderson. And here I would like to emphasize that they are not alone Ian Anderson, but a full-fledged band. It is today the official name of the band that Anderson used since the departure of guitarist Martin Barre band. Owing to the quality of the group in its current composition is four and a half stars out of five that came in last year's Prague concert reviews magazine Rock & Pop.Obama applauded her, Olomouc was not beguiled What are you looking forward to most? greatest attractions include Jethro Tull, and then Dan Barta Alice. I look forward to hear from Dana Barta way began, not in the jazz position, but as a rock singer. You work as a promoter for a long time. What are viewers of Olomouc and its surroundings? Let me give a few examples. When he was here years ago Uriah Heep concert was full. I later brought to Olomouc Ken Hensley, a former frontman and author of the biggest hits of Uriah Heep. I dare say that this concert was in a positive sense, the quality unmatched, but came barely half the people. It's really hard to convince fans to come to the name that is not their opinion so famous. The same is true for Beth Hart, who had toured the Czech Republic for the first time. In doing so throughout her world tour was then sold half a year in advance, but in Olomouc her came five hundred people. Nor would a massive media campaign. Those who attended this concert, they were thrilled. Recently, Beth sang before a packed Kennedy Center in the marketing of Buddy Guy and Led Zeppelin into the Hall of Fame. The audience, including President Barack Obama and his wife applauded her standing. Since Dana Fuchs Similar icons as Beth and zdejšímu audience almost unknown, I decided to organize a free concert on the square. I promise you all a wonderful experience. And what is the local music scene? Olomouc is enough bands. Blues, rock, punk ... Many of them normally played in our club regularly, perhaps Bluesberg, Bluespower, The Again, Black Tiger, Fly Tomorrow or Marshall Malinovsky and more. This year, for the first time gets us a competition for young bands and artists under the name Radegast Hatchery. Since mid-February after three months will be every Wednesday, featuring three bands from which the jury selected one advancing. This competition will already have the thirteenth year in Olomouc, but this year will be the first time. Author: Kamil Polko

Maybe this is the gig that catalyzed the invite to MB and DP to take part...? Quite possibly and a logical conclusion Bernie. We'll never know for sure but one thing's for certain, the Eastern European countries certainly love their Jethro Tull concerts.
