Not sure if this was posted before. Excellent article indeed. Stuff.co.nz Jethro Tull: Bricks, mortar and fresh flute TULL Link Looking back on a life spent on stage, Anderson says the moments that pop instantly to his mind are either "scary" or "tragic".
At a Bristol show a few weeks ago a man in the audience had a cardiac arrest.
"It took 20 minutes to get him going. He owes his life to members of the audience who jumped in and kept his heart manually working.
"It destroyed our show. It was tragic but memorable. Against all the odds, he survived.
"We do tend to have paramedics on hand. In the old days it used to be for teenagers overdosing on dangerous drugs - now it's senior citizens with dodgy tickers."
A performance in New York during the 1970s is also memorable.
At the time there was a lot of antagonism between audience members and police. Guns were frequently found on members of the audience and live ammunition was occasionally found on stage, he recalls. It set him on edge.
"On one particular occasion I remember feeling a blow to my chest. I was singing on stage and suddenly I felt something hit my chest. I looked down and there was blood everywhere, seeping through my shirt. I could see blood on my skin, coming through the shirt. I thought ‘this is what it feels like to be shot'. I couldn't feel any pain but I thought that was just the adrenaline kicking in."
He carried on singing. He recalls thinking that the pain would start and: "I will fall down and I will die."
But then he realised that he still wasn't feeling any pain.
"I thought ‘I've been shot but I can't feel anything'.
"I noticed, down inside my shirt, what seemed to be a little piece of string. I reached down and pulled out a used tampon which had been hurled at me in some act of devout, loving attention by some girl in the audience."
Anderson tells this story with a delicious laugh.

I can't get my head round why 'Puer Ferox Adventus' and 'after these wars' were dropped from the setlist at Sydney. Did HE not sell very well in Australia?

scenestr.com.au/music/ian-anderson-jethro-tull-palais-theatre-reviewIan Anderson (Jethro Tull) @ Palais Theatre ReviewWritten by Carl Neumann, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 Ian Anderson is no spring chicken, but he’s still fit as a fiddle. He prances around the stage like a flighty youngling, skipping around in joy. Unfortunately though, his 67-year-old vocal cords are not keeping up with his employment. His once sonorous, exemplary British timbre weakens as the years inevitably go on, leaving him more and more reliant on his young, co-vocalist Ryan O’Donnelly, to pick-up the pieces with his show-bizzy character. Ian’s prodigious personality was also bracketed by a theatrical band dramatising in a rock-opera themed asylum setting aided by screen-projections with comedic videos. It was almost cabaretesque. The night was split into two sets. Opening the show was the Irish-folk influenced Ian Anderson songs: ‘Doggerland’, 'Enter The Uninvited’, 'The Engineer’ and the somewhat serious, 'Banker Bets Baker Wins’. But these tunes tempted little response from the middle-aged crowd and their accompanying sons. It wasn’t until the second act, the Jethro Tull set, that the audience ramped-up the cheers – and rightfully so. From the very start of the second act the sound mix was better, the tempo and mood of the room changed – the real show had begun. Jethro Tull songs swooned the assuming audience with 'With You There To Help Me', 'Sweet Dream’, 'Farm On The Freeway’, ‘Aqualung’ and to finish, with a standing ovation, the ultimate progressive rock encore, 'Locomotive Breath’. All in all, it was a very good rock show. Sure, it had its peculiarities and drawbacks, but you can’t look past Ian’s incredible ability to communicate with his enticing flute and energetic ways. Next time he comes to town I’ll take my son along. After all Jethro Tull was there at the origins of the progressive-rock movement, which has inspired so many of yesterdays bands and the modern groups of today. Set List Doggerland Enter The Uninvited The Engineer Thick As A Brick, Part 1 (Jethro Tull song) Banker Bets, Banker Wins Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die (Jethro Tull song) Bourée (Jethro Tull song) Act 2 Living In The Past (Jethro Tull song) With You There To Help Me (Jethro Tull song) Sweet Dream (Jethro Tull song) Teacher (Jethro Tull song) Critique Oblique (Jethro Tull song) Songs From The Wood (Jethro Tull song) Farm On The Freeway (Jethro Tull song) Aqualung (Jethro Tull song) Encore Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull song)

www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/64234238/Jethro-Tull-juggernaut-hits-ChristchurchJethro Tull juggernaut hits ChristchurchVICKI ANDERSON December 17 2014 Ian Anderson has arrived in Christchurch with his trademark flute in his backpack. The frontman of the 60-million album-selling Jethro Tull juggernaut plays two sold-out shows at the Isaac Theatre Royal tonight and Thursday. Tickets sold out in 10 minutes when they went on sale. Yesterday Anderson said he was surprised to see the Christ Church Cathedral had not yet been repaired following the 2011 earthquake. "I was under the impression that it had been fully repaired," Anderson said. "And I also wasn't expecting to still see buildings being demolished in the central city." Anderson, 66, who is known for standing on one leg when he plays, said he preferred to travel anonymously where possible. "In Britain I just take my backpack and use public transport. I go to a lot of my gigs on the train," he said. "People are expecting you to be a rock star and turn up in a limo, that's not my style." He travels this way although he has received many threats to his personal safety since Jethro Tull first formed in 1967. Anderson once performed while wearing a bulletproof vest. "Yes, I wore a kevlar vest on stage once," Anderson said. "With two of Denver's finest either side of the stage." This series of concerts embrace the original Thick As A Brick tour from 1972, but 40 years later. "It's the best of Jethro Tull and also a few tracks from the new album, Homo Erraticus," he says. "It's a real mixture of theatrical performance and video." He believes that the biggest misconception about Jethro Tull is that it "revolves around the same band who performed the songs in the 70s". His band has been with him for many years, he says, and are capable of playing "every era" of Jethro Tull. "There's a thought among some people that the band Jethro Tull can only be certain people from a certain era. It's not the case. "It's the music that leads the way."

www.3news.co.nz/Jethro Tull perform at Isaac Theatre RoyalBy Kate Harley Wednesday 17 Dec 2014 Between The Rolling Stones, Neil Diamond and Rod Stewart coming to New Zealand, our music scene is hardly running low on old rockers who think they're invincible. Fortunately 67-year-old Ian Anderson, the longest-serving member of Jethro Tull, isn't one of those people. It's probably fair he wants to take ownership of the band which has had more than 28 members since its formation in the late 1960s. He's thrilled to be in New Zealand and ready to deliver his unique style to the fans. "No offence to those awfully nice neighbours of yours but New Zealand is an easier fit for me," says Anderson Watch the video for the full report from Kate Harley

www.radionz.co.nz/Marty Duda's artist of the week: Jethro TullOriginally aired on Nine To Noon, Wednesday 17 December 2014 Jethro Tull began life as a blues-rock outfit in 1968 with the distinct difference of having a front man, Ian Anderson, whose main instrument was the flute. The first version of the band dissolved relatively quickly, giving way to the group who would go on to produced such classic rock albums as Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and Benefit. Later in the 70s the band began exploring English folk music and they continued in one version or another until 2003 touching on electronica, hard rock and folk. Their final album was 2003's Christmas album, although Ian Anderson continues to record and tour under his own name. Anderson arrives in New Zealand this week for a 3-city tour beginning on Thursday.

August 22, 2014 PKO Nitra Slovakia TULL Link On Friday evening, 22/8/2014 entered British band Jethro Tull led by leader Ian Anderson-flute, vocals, guitar with a bunch who played with him since 2012. First half of the program consisted of songs from the new album Homo Erraticus, which came out this year in April. Second part was composed of mostly songs by group Jethro Tull, to which the full audience of PKO most enjoyed. Absolutely a really famously gaming performance, but also the light visualization worth noting was a great addition to the fantastic music of our youth ...10 images

IAN ANDERSON Live in Brescia, Piazza della Loggia 19/07/14 By Giancarlo Bolther LINK There is nothing to do, there are artists who, despite passing the years, can not do without the stage, one of these is the most famous rookie of rock, unlikely crossing between an elf and a goblin, the one who has Dared to rock hard with a flute, which is almost unthinkable, but judging by the unconditional love of fans last night in Brescia he was really right to propose over the years, without major interruptions, this melange of folk, rock, blues, jazz, Neo classical and prog, in other words Ian Anderson, leader of Jethro Tull, one of the most rock band of classic rock! For over five decades those crossed by Anderson's music and the freshness of his recent album shows how much I still want Ian to make music. Certainly today no one is more amazed at his sound inventions, with the years we have become accustomed to the magic wraps of his flute, then it is also true that Anderson plays on the safe, doing what he can do better, but at seventy is also just right, I think it would be ridiculous if you were to do post-modern experiments.
So here we are again lapping the stages of the world and yesterday it was touched by that of Brescia, a city that has already hosted it in the past.
The show begins with a movie that presents the concert, a sort of clinic that reveals bizarre characters, which are nothing other than the musicians themselves. The movies will continue throughout the concert, scoring each track, with interviews, presentations, vintage scenes and humorous hits, even during the presentation of the band's various members.
The concert was divided into two parts, in the first one was proposed in full the latest album Homo Erraticus, which as I said is a nice record, the live performance then returns the songs in all their splendor, the band composed for the Younger people proved to be professional and motivated, beautiful then the dynamics created by videos associated with the songs. The second part of the concert started after a break of fifteen minutes and a selection of some of the classics of the band was proposed. They started with "Living In The Past", "Too Old to Rock" and "Roll Too Young to Die," "Songs From the Wood", to mention some songs, to the mighty "Aqualung" Still all its rocky charm. As an encore, the beautiful "Locomotive Breath" was proposed and the concert ended in the joy of all present.
Ian on stage has proposed all of his repertoire of poses, sang and played, always demonstrating a
perfect presence, almost did not even seem to have the years he has. Over two hours of full show with an Anderson in great shape and a well-calibrated band, I really do not think I can ask for more. GB
