Legendary band leader Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, re-embarks on a tour. It will cover two shows in Poland.Although formally the Jethro Tull band has ceased to exist in 2014, its unquestioned leader - Ian Anderson - regularly travels on world tours, performing the biggest hits of the repertoire of this legendary formation. You will find information about the concerts in our "Calendar" Likewise this time. By the end of 2017 Ian Anderson will reach Europe where he will play a number of concerts. As the Cinematographer Productions reported, the legendary musician will present two concerts in Poland - the first one will take place on December 2nd in the Kwadrat club in Cracow (the support will be given by the Lizard band), and the second one will take place on 3 December in the Bydgoszcz Archery Hall .

Rather a 1993-ish set list, no? Not surprised that the first things they drop when they have less time are Banker Bets and Frankenfield.....too bad cause those are great songs for the current line up.

From the future;>) Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson)Posted April 20, 2017 by Staff Writer & filed under Arts & Entertainment, Music. inShare I’m sitting in Sydney’s beautiful State Theatre, thinking about a young school friend, a genius, who introduced me to the album Aqualung and is the reason I know about Jeffro Tull. The lights dim the audience scream, Ian Anderson walks onto the stage holding his flute above his head. The man behind Jeffro Tull, a British band who produced countless albums, the first This Was, released back in 1968. Anderson played the flute, acoustic guitar and harmonica, his musicianship talents clear as the point of difference when launched back in the 60s. The show was pleasant but failed to deliver the standard expected of a music icon. When Anderson was on the mic, and did not throw his head back, strain his neck constricting his air flow, stand on tippy toes or run out of breath, we got to hear why he was such a standout artist of his time. Jeffro Tull’s hit albums, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Songs From The Wood, Stand Up, Benefit, Heavy Horses and Living In The Past, to name a few. Anderson crafted and composed countless songs which have stood up over many decades. Andersons, limitless music contribution, deserves recognition and respect.

whatsmyscene.com/review-scene-ian-andersons-jethro-tull-hamer-hall-13th-april-2017/Review Scene: Ian Anderson’s Jethro Tull, Hamer Hall – 13th April 2017April 20, 2017 Martin Cilia Arriving at Hamer Hall in plenty of time I was able to watch people arrive and I’m guessing from the challenges they had finding their way around a venue they didn’t go to too many recent shows. The audience was very male dominated and most of them heading for retirement age, if they haven’t already reached it. The band entered the stage to a fanfare with Ian Anderson playing flute in the wings and then making a grand entrance. Their first song was “Living in the Past“, a song in 5/4 time which is unusual for a ‘radio’ song and was a hit for them in the 70s. Songs that followed in the first half of the show included Thick as a brick, Thick as a brick 2 – Banker Bets, Banker Wins. Songs From the Wood – more folk music – follow on for the pagan era – Jack in the Green. Anderson announces “This is a piece from 1969 – 69’s a good number, isn’t it? Except when it gets to 69 & 3/4 that’s what I am now.” Bourre followed, a crowd favorite and they finished the first half of the show with a song from 1977 – Songs From The Wood. After interval, the second half started with Sweet Dreams, a single from 1969. There was a song credited to King Henry VIII – “Pastime with good company“. Then The Fruits Of Frankenfield – from the 2015 Tull rock opera Anderson makes good use of the stage and knows where to stand and hide when featuring other players. Dharma for one featured a tribute to (original drummer) Clive Bunker’s drum solo – in memory of him. Though Anderson explained “He’s not dead, he’s just a nice guy“. They made good use of the video screen which was used as their backdrop and at times in the show it was used to feature two artists that weren’t actually there but appeared on the screen singing with the band. Perhaps their biggest song – Aqualung – was done in a very creative way, half sung by an actor on the video screen. This was cleverly filmed and very effective. Toccata and fugue featured guitarist Florian Opahle and his Gibson Les Paul, showing his fluidness playing style and and knowledge of classical music. I’d guess his ‘rock’ guitar guy is Gary Moore. The encore was Locomotive Breath, as expected, which featured footage of steam trains throughout the world.

7 tips for taking a baby to a music festivalWith a seven-week-old baby in tow, and a career(/lifestyle) firmly rooted in live music, Easter was the time to answer a question I presume many new or soon-to-be parents have pondered: can you take a baby to a music festival? The answer is yes. You can. But there are definitely some factors to consider. After a pretty successful first attempt at Bluesfest 2017, here are my tips: 1. Choose your festival wisely!Bluesfest was the perfect choice for my partner and I. Having attended the previous four years together, we know the site and experience well; the shortcuts, parking spots and general ebbs and flows of the five-stage, five-day beast of an event. The organisers have mastered the set-up and logistics to ensure that punters of all ages can have a maximal experience, a sentiment backed up by the line-up and curation. You need only notice the swarms of face-painted eight year olds, or the doofed-up, all-terrain toddler rickshaws, or the rows of heads in camping chairs up the back of Jethro Tull to affirm that Bluesfest is truly a family festival. www.timeout.com/sydney/blog/7-tips-for-taking-a-baby-to-a-music-festival-041917

Wednesday, 19 April 2017 LINK Powerful and enthralling purveyors of progressive rock Ian Anderson plays to an enthusiastic Regent Theatre crowd in Dunedin last night. Photos by Peter McIntosh. Ian Anderson and his band of merry musicians thrilled a packed house at the Regent Theatre with a good coverage of their music from 1968-2004, starting with Nothing is Easy and finishing with Aqualung and Locomotive Breath. The latter numbers brought the house to their feet. But overall it was their musical virtuosity, the tight integrity of their ensemble work and their astounding energy which quite rightly singles them out from many other groups emanating from the musical explorations of acoustic and electric folk through to the concept albums of the mid to late 20th century.
Their sound remains distinctive, though its power is not always consistent. Some of the protest songs, such as Frankenfield, Songs of the Woods, Jack in the Green, Bankers Bet, Bankers Win, relied on a dated and cringingly purist view of rural purity versus urban vulgarity.
Bach's Toccata for Organ played with stunning virtuosity by lead guitarist Florian Opahle sounded merely like confused noise. Anderson's own jazzed-up version of Bach's Bourree was sheer brilliance while his King Henry's Pastime in Good Company was almost boring.
Both editions of Thick as a Brick remain enthralling examples of progressive rock and grow better with age, even though what the message was always somewhat obtuse.
Aqualung and Locomotive Breath showcase the band at its most powerful and its most musical.
Pianist John O'Hara, bassist David Goodier, Drummer Scott Hammond, and guitarist Opahle are excellent in their own right, but Ian Anderson plays the flute like no other person alive.
He extends his instrument's accepted range with extraordinarily exciting burring and voice-overs.
His sense of rhythm and iconic one-legged, pan-like stance are scintillating ! -By Marian Poole

gratefulweb.com/Ian Anderson & the Colorado SymphonySubmitted by Leighton Media on Fri, 04/21/2017 - 09:42 "The concert will feature a solid collection of the best-known Tull repertoire from 1968 to date. Fans will recognize the key songs from various albums - songs which put Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson on the map in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s - with most of them accompanied by big screen HD video elements to enhance the concert experience. Favorites include: “Dharma For One” in 1968, “Bourée,” “Nothing Is Easy,” “A New Day Yesterday,” “Living In The Past,” “Aqualung,” “Locomotive Breath,” “My God,” “Aqualung” and on through to “Thick As A Brick” and material from the albums of the next three decades. A couple of recent works round out the concert selection which may vary a little from night to night."gratefulweb.com/articles/ian-anderson-colorado-symphony

Ian Anderson – Aotea Centre April 22, 2017 33 images by Ivan Karczewski LINK With Jethro Tull left in a state of suspended animation, bandleader Ian Anderson trots out the old classics… and a few new ones… to an appreciative Auckland audience.
It seems that Jethro Tull, the band, has run its course, long serving guitarist Martin Barre left to start up his own Tull tribute act. Meanwhile Ian Anderson soldiers on, with this tour featuring two musicians from the final Tull line-up, keyboard player John O’Hara and bassist David Goodier.
Rounding out the band is drummer Scott Hammond and hot-shot guitarist Florian Opahle. Anderson himself plays some guitar, lots of flute and sings.
It’s the singing that is the issue at an Ian Anderson show. My understanding is that he blew out his voice sometime in the 1980s. It doesn’t affect his speaking, but does his singing, particularly in the higher registers.
The result is thin, nasally performance that sounds like it is fading in and out. It’s rather startling when you first hear it, but the ear adjusts and adapts, no doubt filling in the missing sounds internally.
It’s not ideal, and if Anderson came across as a weak performer in other aspects I’d suggest he call it a day. But he doesn’t.
Well into his 70th year, Ian Anderson is still a dynamic presence on stage, leaping about, gesticulation, conducting the band and yes, standing on one leg while blowing that flute.
With the voice not quite up to snuff, it feels like Anderson compensates by playing more flute. Possible a bit more than is to my liking, but it’s a minor quibble.
Guitarist Florian Opahle certainly adds an element of rock and roll to the proceedings and the rest of the band is solid.
On several occasions, Anderson “duets” with a couple of other vocalists who appear on film… Ryan O’Donnell during Aqualung and Unnur Birna Bjornsdottir during Heavy Horses. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my vocalists to be actually in the house for a live show.
There’s no quibbling with the set list…plenty of old Tull faves…Living In The Past, Bourree, Thick As A Brick, along with a few new tunes to show that the creative juices are still flowing.
The show was presented in two halves, with an interval. The first half concentrated on the older material, while the second half presented newer songs such as Fruits Of Frankenfield and Pastime With Good Company (lyrics provided by King Henry VIII).
The show closed with the one-two combination of Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, both featuring irresistible guitar riffs that had the crowd on their feet, and some dancing in the aisles.
The Ian Anderson show rolls on with another performance tonight at the ASB Theatre. Marty Duda
