Excellent Graham. That quote is as you say...wonderful! Thanks Ray. Mind you our thanks must also go the authors of the books as well - it's good to read literature with so much interest and enjoyment for Tull fans everywhere. Now all we need is "Minstrel In The Gallery part two - 1998 to 2013" and the Didi Zill book re-published in paperback and we'd be laughing

That looks great. Most of those pictures I have never seen before, does anyone know where to find them? They are from the archive of our very own Yvonne (elmsliegirl) and many were posted here. The magazine sought the permission of Yvonne to publish the photos through the Forum and Old Webby and I reckon it makes for a great article. If anyone still hasn't a copy, the above link to www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk will help in getting a copy. Well worth the expense imo.

I am thouroughly enjoying the second volume of amazing, interesting, comprehensive, incredible interviews. Part One was fun, but reruns as i was a religious subscriber to AND for many years. Part two has been a revelation as I let AND go for many years, happy with online Tull fixes....little did I know what I was missing in the interview department...especially Ian, but really all the musicians in Tull world. Fun to read Ian's technology predictions...mostly right on...and remember when ordering a CD online was science fiction come true. Ian, in one interview, describes APP as the 'mainline heroin' fix for a certain type of Tull fan...yup...sadly, he excludes himself from that club.

www.progrockmusictalk.com/Book Review-A Passion Play: The Story Of Ian Anderson And Jethro TullAuthor: Brian Rabey Paperback: 288 pages Release Date: December 1, 2013 Publisher: Soundcheck Books LLP ISBN-10: 0957144245 ISBN-13: 978-0957144248 Product Dimensions: 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.8 inches A Passion Play The Story Of Ian Anderson And Jethro Tull by Brian Rabey hit my desk prior to the winter holidays last year and I could not think of a better early Christmas gift. I was getting ready to review the latest incarnation of reissues for Benefit and then hoping to see the Around The World Live 4 DVD set underneath the tree. I did get it and have most recently made my way through the extensive concert footage and interviews. Being immersed in the world of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull is a choice that has led to tremendous enjoyment for this music fan. When I had the chance to read a comprehensive story based on the career of the band and their colorful leader I of course, jumped at the chance. The book allows fans insight into the band members from the early days forward. It is an interesting take on their personalities and own views on how they felt about being in the band at the time and how their relationships worked inside the JT community. What I found enlightening is how the author brings forth the brilliance of Ian Anderson as a writer, musician and all around leader and businessman. The business side was an aspect that gradually became part of Anderson’s responsibilities in order to preserve their catalog and insure everyone was taken care of from a financial standpoint. These are areas that most music fans generally do not care about but it was interesting to watch the development of the band and Anderson as the rock steady leader throughout their career up to present day. I do not think Jethro Tull would have existed beyond a few albums without the music and business sense of someone like Anderson. As all Jethro Tull fans know there have been two constant members throughout the years, Ian Anderson and Martin Barre. Barre was not on the recent TAAB2 (Thick As A Brick 2) release which surprised many of us however as usual Anderson was able to carry on with some fine musicians and keep the Jethro Tull trademark sound alive and well. This is something that was always counted upon throughout the years and due credit must be given for that kind of consistency, hindsight and vision. Anderson revolutionized the use of the flute in rock music and it must be noted even though he is famous for that, and one of the few names that come up when addressing flute players in rock music, the fact remains that he is a fine guitar player as well. This point is clarified in the book. Many things come to light while reading this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My appreciation for Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull continues to grow every year. If you are looking for something more than the “The Making Of” footage from the reissued back catalog by the band, this book will give you great insight into how it all came together and what transpired to make them international stars.

Hi there! Attention: this information is dedicated only to die-hard fanatic collectors of everything related to Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson. It's about a new book written by myself in Polish language exclusively for Polish fans of Tull... But it also may take interest of some of you, freaks! Even if you can't read it The book is titled: "Skały na drodze. Moje spotkania z Ianem Andersonem i Jethro Tull" ( "Rocks On The Road. My meetings with Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull"). It includes: - precise descriptions of sixteen Tull/Anderson shows in Poland and other European countries like Italy, Great Britain and Lithuania, between 1997 and 2013... from point of view of (relatively) young Tull fan from the Polish Land
- detailed analysis of performed songs
- true notations of Ian's stage jokes and speeches
- impressions from my "face to face" meetings with Ian Anderson and his chums
- personal stories about travels, beer, food and friendships
- photo-illustrated tale dedicated to places in Edinburgh which were important in Ian's childhood
- unpublished before photos from Tull/Anderson gigs and backstageIt will be released in April 2014. Feel welcome to visit a promo website: www.skalynadrodze.plYou can't imagine how much fun I have had while writing the whole damn thing... I don't think I can make any bucks on it as it's not a Justin Bieber biography, but money is NOT everything! Will be there an English version some day? We'll see, we'll see... Btw, can't wait to hear the new "Homo Erraticus" album and see Ian's band in Olomouc, Czech Republic in June. It will be a Bounty Rock Cafe Open-Air thing, a real picnic with IAN ANDERSON! Hurray! All the best from sunny Poland, Lukas Was

www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=26059'ROCKIN' THE CITY OF ANGELS Book Available Now By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, October 20, 2017 @ 6:54 AM 396-Page Book Features Best Of SoCal Concerts In The 70's Including A Dozen Major Shows At The "Fabulous" Forum It was the early seventies and rock and roll was firing on all cylinders. In 1972, Bowie became "Ziggy", Alice had "School's Out" LED ZEPPELIN was on the loose after IV and THE WHO were hoping everyone would "Join Together" with the band. Oh yeah... and a southern California kid by the name of Doug Harr would have his ears glued to such radio stations as 95.5 KLOS, 93 KHJ and "the mighty MET," 94.7 KMET, daydreaming of the next concert coming to town. Hot on the heels of their Exile On Main Street release in May, one of rock's greatest bands were hitting the road and coming to the "fabulous" Forum in Los Angeles, California on June 11... not for one show that day, but two! One in the afternoon and one at night. That particular show by the ROLLING STONES would mark the first of a dozen major concerts making their way to the "fabulous" Forum in the seventies. "The band skipped over their early hits and played songs mostly from the 1968-1972 period, cranking out hits like "Gimme Shelter", "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and , writes Harr, who has authored a new book, titled Rockin' The City Of Angels - Celebrating the Great Rock Shows of the 1970s - In Concert, On Record, and On Film that features this particular concert experience and many others from the decade (including all of the aforementioned). While many southern California venues such as the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, Long Beach Arena, Universal Amphitheater, Shrine Auditorium, Civic Auditorium Center in Santa Monica, Dodger Stadium, Anaheim Stadium, Whiskey a Go Go and Roxy Theater are featured/highlighted in the book, other Forum (Inglewood, CA) shows featured in the book include: Jethro Tull - A Passion Play Tour (July 20-22, 1973) Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare Tour (June 16-18, 1975) Cat Stevens - Numbers/Majikat Tour (February 2, 1976) David Bowie - Station To Station Tour (February 8, 9 and 11, 1976) Paul McCartney & Wings - Wings Over the World Tour (June 21, 1976) Eagles - Hotel California Tour (October 19-21, 1976) Genesis - Wind & Wuthering Tour (March 24, 1977) Supertramp - Even In The Quietest Moments Tour (April 28, 1977) Led Zeppelin - Presence Tour (June 23, 1977) Queen - News of the World Tour (December 22, 1977) Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Tour (December 4-6, 1979) This month marks the 41st Anniversary of the EAGLES' three-night stand at the Forum during their Hotel California tour. Shows so sonically pleasing that some of the songs recorded those nights subsequently appeared on the band's very first live album, Eagles Live, accounting for five of the fifteen featured tracks. PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS started off the summer in fine fashion that year with two-performances at the Forum on June 21 and 22 that marked Paul's first live performances in Los Angeles since THE BEATLES performed at Dodger Stadium ten years prior in 1966. "The Wings Over The World tour of 1975-1976 attracted massive audiences and was one of the most successful tours of that time; it is also a personal favorite," comments Doug. "The stop at the Los Angeles Forum on June 21, 1976, was just one of many dates in North America and it was a fabulous night of rock 'n' roll." The following year, LED ZEPPELIN came into town, performing an incredible six-night stand at the Forum during their Presence tour. "LED ZEPPELIN, the mightiest rock band of the 1970s, was the soundtrack to my life in Los Angeles." 396 pages. 34 chapters featuring just as many artists. More than 500 images captured by some of rock's greatest photographers. ELTON JOHN, AC/DC, YES, HEART, PINK FLOYD, ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, RUSH and others are "here" as well! So many great shows. So many memorable experiences. If you were able to see one of rock's greatest artists on tour in the seventies, then you know just how lucky you were to witness the spectacle. If you only dreamed about what it was like, then your rock 'n' roll day has come with the arrival of Rockin' The City Of Angels, a book that captures some of the biggest and best shows to ever land in the Southland. If you never had that opportunity, Rockin' The City Of Angels gives you those front row seats you wish you had! Call the tome -- nearly the size of an LP cover -- a wonderful perspective from both a true fan's point of view and the photographer's pit. Doug has now attended over 400 shows during his lifetime and it should come as no surprise that he still gets excited about great shows coming to town. Long live rock. SPECIAL NOTE: Rockin' The City Of Angels makes for a terrific holiday gift for any music fan and is available at Amazon HERE. This December marks the 40th Anniversary of QUEEN's performance at the Forum during their News Of The World Tour (12/22) and the 50th Anniversary of the venue, itself (12/30). It also marks the 38th Anniversary of FLEETWOOD MAC's performance at the Forum during their Tusk Tour (12/4 - 12/6). "This book celebrates more than thirty of these incredible performances including key tours by bands such as LED ZEPPELIN, QUEEN, DAVID BOWIE, FLEETWOOD MAC, GENESIS, HEART, JETHRO TULL, PINK FLOYD, THE WHO and YES. We'll share memories of those legendary concerts and my reviews of the best video documents of the era, each band illuminated by a hand-picked collection of brilliant images -- some never-before seen -- by the best photo-journalists of that time." -- Doug Harr -- ACT 1 - "Rock Gods & Entertainers" THO WHO kicks off the seventies decade with a featured performance at Anaheim Stadium on June 14, 1970 during their "Tommy" Tour. What follows in that chapter are performances and tours by THE ROLLING STONES ("Exile On Main Street" Tour: the L.A.

And the reply: Hello Ron, Thanks for getting in touch. The Jethro Tull book is in the planning stage at the moment - so the best answer we can give at this point, is that we will be keen to involve as many current and previous band members as possible. If you haven't already done so, you can register your interest here: jethrotullbook.comAnd we will make sure we keep you up to date with all the information about this book as it becomes available.

Amazing. Jethro Tull: progressive rock with the English sauce of the end of the 1960s. Certainly mythical, older and still atypical, Ian Anderson and his people are not put away cars since they will happen soon, room Pleyel to Paris. No need to rush, it's complete. To fill the gap, a solution is needed: buy the pavement - 856 pages - that has just written Adrian Michenet-Delys. Their story their galleys and their success Adrian Stork, Adrian Michenet-Delys, Adrien Michenet. Do not radiate the useless mentions, it's always the same. A wise little boy from the Jean-Monnet school in Brassioux, Jean-Giraudoux's former high school student turned himself into a rock chronicler who changed his name according to the content of the media used. Currently living in Estonia, Adrien is now 32 years old. The strength of the age for the one who also took the courses of the Superior School of Audiovisual Toulouse, after two years of preparatory classes in Orleans. Why talk about Jethro Tull? He loves their music first:"I was passionate about the story of these young people eager to get into music. I decided to write their story, their galleys, the recording of their first album and their first successes. To recount Jethro Tull is, in fact, to evoke life that goes rather well at a time probably happier and more optimistic than ours. Adrien goes back in time with a tone close to jubilation. His book is almost an ode to love. Encountered and interviewed, Ian Anderson obviously appreciated the Michenet tone. "This book will allow French fans, young and in the prime of life, to relive the history of our group and discover our music ," says the man with the flute. Now you can let go of Google Translateand start exploring this story in your mother tongue. Enjoy! " " Jethro Tull, madness in the spring, "White Truck Publishing, 856 pages, 36 €.

I bought both, read them, packed them to mail to Remy, learned it would cost too much and now they sit side by side on a desk in my home JUST LIKE THAT PICTURE. As is usual, I have a 4 books/music magazines on the "go" at once. I'm re-reading John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" for the nth time having first read it during my final term at school, the latest Record Collector mag, Shindig and the "the Glory Years". Dave's book will have to wait for a week or two. With the "Glory Years", the chapter about the Red Rocks concert is a wonderful read although not a good time for the band or the audience but it does prove to me, and hopefully the Grand Kids, that their Grandfather did appreciate a damn fine band and composer of songs.
