I think I'll have to go back to see competitions next May. However, despite my respect for that "lander", my tendency is more Anglo than Saxon, so i like best our comfortable corner in Cheshire, GB ...

Where the hella is Halle? In the former east where the fans still appreciate the good fortune of a band like Tull and are not so jaded that they need to think twice about leaving home, wallet in hand, to see literally classic rock.

This is one of my 'beating heart of Tull' songs that always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson plays the Sydney Opera HouseDecember 8, 2014 - 11:09AM www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/music/jethro-tull-frontman-ian-anderson-plays-the-sydney-opera-house-20141208-122fii.htmlAh, the concept album: the ultimate proof that rock got too big for its boots and needed punk to spit on it until it shrank back to size. The late '60s and early '70s was the concept album's heyday, with Jethro Tull trumping the rest by releasing a 44-minute piece of music in 1972 called Thick As A Brick. Many fans and critics missed its satirical intention, which was more obvious live, when it came replete with Pythonesque sketches enacting the stories on the album's elaborate newspaper-like cover. "They say humour is a great leveller, but it's also a great writer's tool," says Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull's composer, singer, flautist, acoustic guitarist and undisputed leader, who acknowledges Monty Python's role in stretching satirical British humour. "There would be no Thick As A Brick if it hadn't been for Monty Python," he says. "There would be no Spinal Tap if it hadn't been for Thick As A Brick – although [Spinal Tap co-creator] Harry Shearer begged to differ when I interviewed him once on the subject. He did admit to having a copy of Thick As A Brick at home, but said he'd never actually played it. A bit like Bill Clinton smoking a joint but not inhaling." For Thick As A Brick's 40th anniversary, Anderson (under his own name rather than Tull's) returned to performing the entire album. Now it is Australia's turn to see that show, extended once more with sketches and interludes that demand more than musicianship from his current crop of rock, classical and jazz players. "It's always rather fun when you draw out of people a little bit of the ham amateur thespian," he says with wicked glee, "and get them to do stuff that's so far beyond their comfort zone that you can see them trembling … It's not like they're going out there to play Richard III, but on the other hand they have to play their part in making the presentation of the music a little more than just playing." Following the complete Thick As A Brick in each concert comes a second half combining a Jethro Tull "best of" with some pieces from Anderson's new Homo Erraticus opus. "It's quite a long concert," Anderson says. "I advise people coming to bring a cushion and sandwiches." He is somewhat cagey about the reasons for now performing under his own name rather than Tull's, and skirts around the issue of whether he will work with long-term Tull guitarist Martin Barre again. "Martin and I have talked a few times about doing some duo things," he says, "just going and doing acoustic dates, or whatever. But he's a busy boy, and so am I. Is that slippery and evasive enough for you?" For the first time Anderson brings a co-singer, Ryan O'Donnell, to help cover for the permanent damage that now makes his voice such a fragile instrument. "He gets some bits to sing, he gets to dance around, do a bit of mime and spoken word," he says, "and he's a welcome addition because he's a different focus … To some people it's a bit like my younger self sort of materialising on stage. "In reality I don't think Ryan sees it that way and I don't see it that way, because we're different people. We have different ways of doing things. I see him as being complementary, not a surrogate Ian Anderson." Ian Anderson and his band performs The Best of Jethro Tull at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday and Friday.

Having fronted Jethro Tull from 1967 until its apparent demise earlier this year, he now performs under his own name a live repertoire that is billed as the "best of Jethro Tull". After several Tull tours where his damaged voice was barely audible, Anderson had a solution of sorts in the form of Ryan O'Donnell – not so much a backing singer as a co-singer. O'Donnell is young, likable, energetic, talented and amusing, and, given Anderson's strain to reach so many notes, he could even take more of the lead vocals, and certainly double Anderson's parts more of the time. Yet when he did take over you had this odd feeling of a bloke fronting a Jethro Tull tribute band. Similarly, Florian Opahle played a sunburst Les Paul guitar, just as Martin Barre, Tull's second longest-serving and second most important member (in terms of defining the sound), did in the band's heyday. Like O'Donnell, Opahle is very good at what he does, and played an incendiary solo on Aqualung, but he was more or less obliged to channel Barre simply to realise the songs. Further contributing to the cover-band impression was the fact that, probably in order to help make Anderson's voice audible, this was much softer than any version of Tull. I suspect that the on-stage levels were a whisper compared with Tull's shout, which no doubt played its part in the front-of-house sound being exceptional, if lacking any sense of raw danger. In advance Anderson had promised the complete Thick As A Brick, but in fact they only played about half of it. Among the songs from his new Homo Erraticus album Doggerland stood out. The rest of the material was well chosen and accompanied by clever and sometimes hilarious big-screen imagery and action. It's probably the best Jethro Tull cover band in the world. Ian Anderson: Concert Hall, tonight; Palais Theatre, Monday.

I hope Shona packed Ian's special long flight socks...we almost lost him in Australia. You reading this Ian? How about you travel home via USA and play a few concerts of the full HE while you have the video with you. Book 3 or 4 high priced gigs with condition that ticket holders show their receipt for deluxe HE before they are seated . The setlist for part two is your call...even if you play Bouree 11 times in a row...no complaints. Deal ? Just an extra few days en route, one concert per time zone: California, Denver, Chicago and NYC.
