It's just a matter of time before we Tull fans are required to undergo a brief medical screening before we are shown ( rolled?) to our seats. bring your latest EKG and prostate exam results to the gig or risk being diverted to the nursing home. Now we know why there are empty seats....Tull fan attrition since last tour.

Oh yes - gone is the bandana on his head and he's wearing glasses, no doubt to help see where he's going when he does the backward walk with the nifty glance over his shoulder when playing the flute. |

Three cheers for APP Live. It's been so long since I heard that song in concert!
Bless One White Duck for making my day in a very cool way. I'm just beside myself now.
Of course it would always be a thrill to see Jeffrey again but Ryan has the right stuff. 
This may be an early segment which could be added to. Love that ballerina spinning. HOORAH

Yes Ash think you are right. I booked the seat early and 'picked' the seat, dead centre. I enjoy about 20 rows back, ( next to mixing desk )at Colston. Great sound.

Did Mike Downs tell you his two Tull jokes? Here's one " what has 42 legs and no teeth? Answer the front row of a Jethro Tull concert  ". He told me that one in 2012 and at last years Oxford Christmas show I told it back to him  . Then he told me his second Tull joke, and in church as well  . |

Concert-goer to the rescue as fan collapses at Ian Anderson gig at Colston Hallwww.bristolpost.co.uk/Concert-goer-rescue-fan-collapses-gig/story-21071788-detail/story.htmlBy The Bristol Post | Posted: May 08, 2014 - By Katie Pavid A CONCERT-goer collapsed after a suspected heart attack in the middle of a gig at Colston Hall – and another member of the audience stepped in to help save his life. As a show featuring Jethro Tull lead singer Ian Anderson was in full swing on Tuesday night, a 45-year-old fan collapsed in the audience and stopped breathing, ten minutes in to the performance. A nearby member of the audience came to the rescue, performing emergency CPR for 20 minutes until paramedics arrived to help. Unaware of the emergency, the band kept playing on stage, until they were told someone had been taken seriously ill. Julie Hendry, who was at the concert, said: "We arrived slightly late so the lights were already up when we got there. The band hadn't been playing for very long at all. We could see CPR going on up on the balcony from an audience member. The person stepped in to help, and I think Colston Hall staff helped him too. "They were working on him for 20 minutes. The paramedics turned up and took him to hospital. "The band played on unaware while lights went up and CPR went on in the balcony. They didn't know what was happening until someone told them. After one number the music was stopped and the audience was asked to clear the auditorium. "Then, after he was taken to hospital the concert resumed – the break was for about half an hour. The singer made an announcement when they started again and said a man had been taken seriously ill. "He was very lucky there was someone nearby who knew how to do CPR. I think a lot of people are hoping he is OK in hospital – it is quite shocking to hear about because obviously you don't expect it. "He was young to have something like this happen, so everybody is concerned about him." A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service said: "On Tuesday evening we received a call at 7.36pm. A 45-year-old male collapsed and was not breathing, after suffering a possible cardiac arrest. "CPR was performed at the scene, and he was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary. We have no update on his condition at the moment." A Colston Hall spokesman said staff members trained in first aid also pitched in to help, and was hoping to contact the members of the public involved. He said: "Patrons and first aid trained staff members assisted with the resuscitation of the patient until paramedics arrived and took over. The house manager was in continuous contact with the ambulance service until they reached the scene. "We are satisfied that Colston Hall's procedures to deal with medical emergencies such as these were followed properly. "We have made contact with the hospital to check on the patient's condition, but understandably we have not been provided with any information due to patient confidentiality. We wish the patient a full and speedy recovery. "Bristol Music Trust is very grateful to everyone who assisted last night and we will be attempting to contact them individually." Band member Ryan O'Donnell tweeted yesterday: "We don't know if the poor chap is OK or not. He was breathing unaided when he left the building. Hope he's OK  ". Ian Anderson – who got an MBE in 2008 for services to music – is best known as lead vocalist and flautist of British rock band Jethro Tull.

Ditto that...more 'Play' live. it looked great. it sounded great, hell, it felt great....but over too soon. Hopefully the general impression that it 'worked' will lead to more, and even longer, snippets of the mighty Play. Good video.....not a spoiler at all...more like an impatience increasing appetizer...could you silly, staid, paralyzed Brits please clap a little at the end so they don't toss it before it comes west ?

I'm afraid that us Brits are characterized by a sedate dignity and often a strait-laced sense of propriety and respectable decorum. Sometimes we're even sober.  |

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson never too old to rock ‘n’ roll May 09, 2014 www.bucksherald.co.uk/what-s-on/jethro-tull-s-ian-anderson-never-too-old-to-rock-n-roll-1-6049069He qualifies for a bus pass, needs vocal support and is not quite as sprightly around the stage these days, but Ian Anderson proves you’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll, writes Geoff Cox. The 66-year-old Jethro Tull frontman is on a UK tour coinciding with the recent release of his new studio album Homo Erraticus. But although the voice, and the old bones, are starting to creak, the legendary prog pioneer still knows how to put on a show. And before you ask, yes, he can still stand on one leg and play the flute at the same time! I was one of the loyal fans – I’ve followed Tull since their early days when Anderson lived in a Luton bedsit and was a cleaner at a local cinema – in the audience at The Wycombe Swan Theatre, for Wednesday’s show. It was a case of ‘spot the under 40s’ in a crowd who turned up unsure whether this was a Jethro Tull or an Ian Anderson gig. What we got was something old and something very new, with Home Erraticus performed in its entirety before the interval and a selection of Tull classics in the second half of the show. In 1972 Jethro Tull released iconic concept album, Thick As A Brick, based on a poem by “child prodigy Gerald Bostock”. In 2012, as fans wondered what happened to Bostock, Anderson explored the different paths his life might have taken in Thick As A Brick 2. With Homo Erraticus enfant prodigy Gerald is back after a remarkable career in the imagination of his creator. Following a 40-year political career, Bostock reunited with the singer taking the role of tour manager on a string of shows. Homo Erraticus marks his return to songwriting and it’s based on an unpublished manuscript by amateur historian “Ernest T. Parritt (1865-1928)”. Parritt examines key events of British history with a string of prophecies stretching to the current day and the future. I’ve seen Tull perform live several times and this was all rather strange, even though I’d listened to the album on the way to the theatre to get me in the mood. Performing a new album on stage right the way through is a huge gamble, but it was warmly received by the audience. The temperature was raised even further when the second half opened with probably the most famous Tull song of all, Living In The Past. This is what we were really here for and the band followed it up with a series of old favourites, like Sweet Dream, Songs From The Wood, Teacher, My God and Farm On The Freeway. And no Tull show would be complete without the instrumental Bouree and rip-roaring Locomotive Breath, which was played as an encore. There was no Martin Barre, the group’s lead guitarist for many years, this time and the only familiar face in Anderson’s line-up was Dave Goodier on bass guitar. Young Ryan O’Donnell’s additional vocals were excellent and you couldn’t fault the musicianship of Florian Opahle on electric guitar, John O’Hara (piano, keyboards, accordion) and Scott Hammond (drums). A backdrop of video and theatrics, plus Anderson’s trademark banter between songs, made it a great night for Tull followers. Anderson points out that the man who invented the seed drill in 1701 comes up third in a Google search for ‘Jethro Tull’ and rates but a brief, single page in Wikipedia. “He’s your Jethro man, not I,” says Anderson. “I think I prefer, in my twilight years, to use my own name for the most part being composer of virtually all Tull songs since 1968. “After all, being named after a real-life historical character of no little importance is a bit weird, to say the least.” So that probably answers the question. This is an Anderson show, not a Jethro Tull one. The tour continues in Guildford, Cambridge, Ipswich, Leicester, Derby, Manchester, York and Gateshead before four concerts in Anderson’s native Scotland and two at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London on May 24 and 25.

Ian Anderson Plays Jethro Tull (and Homo Erraticus), Grand Opera House, York, May 15 Thursday 8th May 2014 Read more: www.yorkpress.co.uk/leisure/music/11201218.Ian_Anderson_Plays_Jethro_Tull__and_Homo_Erraticus___Grand_Opera_House__York___May_15/?ref=arc Nevertheless, you sense that words are very important to the ever eloquent Mr Anderson. "I think you are left to wonder what I mean in what I write," he says. "Distance is the operative word because it could be in the next-door room or at the other end of the planet that I describe. I'm an observational writer and I don't write 'me' or 'my' in my songs. I'm not Alanis Morissette with a flute and I'm not a landscape painter either. "I want to look at the people around me and that's what I like to write about, which takes a bit of theatre. That's my vantage point, so what I write is 20 per cent me in terms of thoughts and opinions; 60 per cent based on other people, people I know or have researched; and 20 per cent imaginary characters."

I posted those three video's from Colston Hall on You Tube. First time I had posted on there. Had a e mail from a Mr.Tosser from up your arseland and told me that I had been a naughty boy and breached copyright rules and the videos have been removed. As a result my You Tube Account had and I quote 'certain privilages removed' - don't know what they and don't really care to be honest. Hope will I cope without 'certain privilages' Apologies for braking the law and hope I won't be sacked by the Mods. OneDodgyDuck |

In this case it's either someone has snitched you up and reported you to youtube or mention of Homo Erraticus may have set off alarm bells at youtube as the unofficial videos put on line before the album was released were deleted as well. Either way it's a bit of a p133er to say the least. |
