kultuur.postimees.ee/4124103/ian-anderson-esitab-tallinnas-jethro-tulli-kuulsamaid-lugusid[ apologies - couldn't get a translation] Ian Anderson esitab Tallinnas Jethro Tulli kuulsamaid lugusidKirke Ert Järgmise aasta 6. märtsil astub Nordea Kontserdimaja lavale karismaatiline laulja ning rokkansambli Jethro Tull juhtfiguur Ian Anderson oma bändiga. Viiskümmend aastat lavakarjääri teinud Anderson esitab Tallinnas Jethro Tulli kuulsamaid palasid. Kava kannab nime «Jethro Tull by Ian Anderson» ning seda kirjeldatakse kui multimeedia vaatemängu, mille keskel on rokkbänd. Koos Ian Andersoniga astuvad Nordea Kontserdimaja lavale David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (klahvpillid, akordion), Florian Opahle (kitarr) ja Scott Hammond (trummid). Ise mängib Ian Anderson Tallinna kontserdil akustilist kitarri ja flööti - muusikainstrumenti, mis on temale kõige rohkem tuntust toonud. Andersoni ühel jalal flöödi mängimisest on saanud üks rokkmuusika tuntumaid sümboleid. Anderson alustas muusikukarjääri 1962. aastal, viis aastat hiljem asutas ta ansambli Jethro Tull. Oma pika karjääri jooksul on see rokkmuusika üks silmapaistvamaid muusikakollektiive välja andnud üle neljakümne stuudioalbumi, kogumiku ning kontsertsalvestise. Ian Anderson on ka pidevalt tuuritamas, tema kontserdikontol on juba mitu tuhat live-esinemist. Varasemalt on Anderson Eestis esinemas käinud kolmel korral – sealhulgas Jethro Tulliga Rock Summeril ’91. Viimati külastas muusik Tallinna kuus aastat tagasi. Andersoni ja tema bändi kontserdil kõlavad teiste seas sellised rokkmuusika kuldvaramusse kuuluvad Jethro Tulli palad nagu «Living in the Past», «Heavy Horses», «Thick as a Brick», «Nothing Is Easy», «Sweet Dream», «A New Day Yesterday», «Bourée», «Songs From the Wood», «Aqualung» ja «Locomotive Breath».

www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/birmingham-entertainment/2017/08/14/jethro-tull-marks-50-years-with-world-tour---coming-to-birmingham/Jethro Tull marks 50 years with world tour - coming to BirminghamBy Kirsten Rawlins | Birmingham entertainment | Published: 4 hours ago | Last Updated: 3 hours ago Prog icons Jethro Tull will celebrate 50 years of the band with a tour next year - coming to Birmingham. The group will play eight UK concerts on the world tour, led by rock icon Ian Anderson. The band first played under the name of Jethro Tull on February 2, 1968, at the world-famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, London. The debut album, This Was, was released later that same year. Songs Jethro Tull are best known for include Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Locomotive Breath, Living In The Past, Bungle In The Jungle, Bouree and more. Speaking ahead of the tour, Ian said: "I am not usually a birthday or anniversary kind of guy but, just for once, I won't be a party-pooper either. "I treasure the memories of the earlier years of Jethro Tull repertoire, associated as it is with the adventures of visiting so many countries for the first time to connect with new fans around the world. "And this is a celebration of all the 33 band members who graced our ranks - musicians who brought their talents, skills and styles to bear on the performances live and in the studio. "Join me and the current band for a nostalgic evening of varied music, representative of my ever-changing songwriting as our careers progressed through the years." Joining Ian on the tour will be David Goodier (bass), John O'Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums) - as well as some surprise virtual guests. Fans of Jethro Tull guitarist, Martin Barre, will also have the chance to see the star at the Robin 2 in Bilston on November 5 - www.therobin.co.uk/whats_on/giginfo.asp?gigid=4935

www.rockol.it/news-677591/jethro-tull-ian-anderson-tour-uk-il-cinquantennale-dateJethro Tull: for the fifty-year-old Ian Anderson on tour with a special celebratory show. Dates14/8/2017 In 2018, the 50th anniversary of the debut of the Jethro Tull scenes, which premiered for the first time on February 2, 1968 at the Marquee Club in London, will be celebrated on the 50th anniversary of their first long-distance trial - "This Was "- later that same year. To celebrate the recurrence, Ian Anderson's leader has announced eight events in the UK alone to show him the summit of the production of the glorious band Thick as a Brick . "I'm not a guy who loves celebrations, but not one who wants to spoil the party," the artist said in a note, "I've been treasuring memories accumulated in the early years of Jethro Tull's activities, associated with the adventure of Visit many countries for the first time by getting in touch with new fans from all over the world. " "This is also a celebration of all the 33 elements that have gone into our training, musicians who have made available their skills, talents and style both on stage and in studio," continued Anderson. This will be accompanied by bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O 'Hara, guitarist Florian Opahle and drummer Scott Hammond, as well as "virtual surprise guests". The series of events will be inaugurated on April 3rd at the Apollo O2 in Manchester, then to Newcastle on May 5, at the City Hall, Edinburgh (6 at the Usher Hall), Liverpool (on the 7th, Auditorium), Bristol (9th, Colston Hall), Birmingham (10th, Symphony Hall) and Cambridge (11th, Corn Exchange), then closing at 17:00 at the Royal Albert Hall in London: Show - to which no shoulder group will be present - will be available in advance from 30 August on Gigantic.com. It is not clear at the moment whether there is a project to export the show even outside the UK market or whether the eight dates are to be considered unique events that are not replicable elsewhere.

Sounds more like 'greatest hits' than start to finish performance of new album. I'd go. Anyone able to pay for my RT from California ?

www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/prog-rock-legends-jethro-tull-13481943Prog rock legends Jethro Tull will soon be 50 - Here's when they're coming to NewcastleThe band, named after an 18th Century agricultural pioneer, has always defied convention with a flute alongside guitars and drums The tireless Ian Anderson is taking Jethro Tull on a 50th anniversary tour next year – and the North East won’t be missing out. Newcastle City Hall – on April 5 – is the second stop on the tour which will begin in Manchester a couple of days previously. There are only eight UK cities on the tour so fans can count themselves lucky. It was on February 2, 1968 – at London’s Marquee Club – that Jethro Tull first performed under the name pinched from the 18th Century inventor of the horse-drawn seed drill. The music appealed, the crowd bayed for more and the name stuck. The debut album, This Was, was released that same year with Anderson establishing the flute as a rock instrument alongside the electric guitar and drums. Jethro Tull have long been established as prog rock legends and they have played Newcastle City Hall many times, always striving to raise the roof. Anderson, who turned 70 on August 10, is a thoughtful and multi-talented individual who has never been afraid to step off the beaten track. A few years ago he performed at St Nicholas’ Cathedral. He says of next year’s tour: “I am not usually a birthday or anniversary kind of guy but, just for once, I won’t be a party-pooper either. “I treasure the memories of the earlier years of Jethro Tull repertoire, associated as it is with the adventures of visiting so many countries for the first time to connect with new fans around the world. “And this is a celebration of all the 33 band members who graced our ranks – musicians who brought their talents, skills and styles to bear on the performances live and in the studio. “Join me and the current band for a nostalgic evening of varied music, representative of my ever-changing songwriting as our careers progressed through the years.” Expect a mix of material from the various eras of the band and from albums including This Was, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and Crest Of A Knave. Tickets for the gig on April 5, 2018 – it’s a Thursday – can be bought from the Theatre Royal box office in person, online at www.theatreroyal.co.uk or tel. 08448 112121.

But there's nothing to stop Mick Abrahams from being invited even if it's only a walk on part, due to his disability etc.

As for Martin...he'd likely jump at the opportunity if he could put feelings aside. Have Martin and the kid duel away. Awesome!

The Jethro Tull Facebook page has a link for presages for the UK 50th Anniversary tour in April. Tickets for the concerts are on sale from 9am UK time tomorrow - a day earlier than shown on all the other advertising. This is the note shown on the fb page "Tickets for the Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary tour go on pre-sale tomorrow morning at 09.00 (GMT) here: www.gigantic.com/jethro-tull-tickets-presale-1051" I was keen to book tickets to see Robert Plant in Newcastle in November but only went on the City Hall web page late on the first day they went on sale. All the tickets were sold out however lots of booking sites had tickets for sale with big mark-ups on the ticket prices. I really don't like this idea that tickets agencies buy up a (big?) percentage of the tickets and mark them up - if we were to do that as individuals, we would be seen as touts and possibly could be charged. It seems to be okay for the getmein, viagagogo, see tickets, etc. organisations to do this though...

Many times in the past I've gone up to Newcastle City Hall to book tickets on the day they go on sale and every time there's great blocks of seats 'already booked'. It makes my blood boil that ordinary fans like me are deprived of good seats because they've been reserved by greedy ticket agencies. I'll let you know how I get on when I go to book my tickets for the Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary tour.

A big offender used to be the Hammersmith Odeon (as it was known at the time) back in the eighties - we were in a bunch of fans at the head of the queue and when the doors opened and we asked for front row we were told that none were available. Come the day of the concert the ticket touts were out and about asking if we wanted front row seats ! Bet the sales of small brown paper envelopes increased around that time. Mind you I've seen it in other fields of commerce and industry so I'm not really surprised - always happened in the months before Christmas. What a surprise.

Bunkerfan and Maddog....you describe yourselves as 'ordinary fans'....well, you're not...you are special ! In the future, the chips implanted in our skin at time of birth will track concert attendance, music purchases and merchandise purchased and we will be assigned our seats at concerts via a fair and sophisticated metric of fanhood.

Just had a look on the Gigantic web page and they are selling tickets for £48 each plus mailing fees. Wonder how they are allowed to sell tickets one day in advance (and who are Gigantic anyway??) They tell you you will get the best tickets available but give no details (so you don't know where you are sitting or the real value of tickets you are getting).
My daughter has recently bought tickets to see Ed Sheerin next year and paid considerably marked up prices now almost a year in advance - companies are just ripping fans off.
My personal view on this is just not to use these companies unless it is a concert you really, really want to go to - so hopefully they are left with unsold tickets. To be honest, I would not pay rip-off prices to see Ian Anderson and co any more and I certainly won't to see Robert Plant (think he is great but not that great).
My wife and I went with her pal to Dublin last year. Her pal is a huge huge Springsteen fan and she paid a small fortune to go to the concert which sold out very quickly. We got a cheap flight over and just stayed two nights. On the day of the concert, I went to one of these ticket sites and got us two tickets at around 40% of the face value (they seemed to have plenty of tickets left). I was in the fortunate position of "really not caring if I missed that one out" so you can win occasionally ! Grump over....

Tickets are £55 each direct from the Albert hall plus a £7.50 booking fee, so £48 is a deal

Had a quick look at the Albert Hall prices and it says all the £70.20 price tickets (£65.00 face value) are sold out already. Three price categories there (£70, £55 and £50) all marked up by about £5 from face value Quite a price difference between London and Newcastle prices (best get yourselves up here... the beer will be cheaper too.)
Sorry too.. I was wrong in saying you are not told your seat allocation. You are told it near the end of the transaction.. but you cannot choose it, only the best seat available.

True you can't choose the seat itself but you can keep adding seats in the basket to see if you get "better" ones. Then just remove the seats you don't want and then pay up. That's what I did. Very happy with my Arena F Row 8 seats It has to be London for me because I'm close and enjoy a day in town first

Thanks Ash, I had not thought of getting the seat you wanted that way but know now. I was joking about coming to the North East, though it is well worth a visit.

What a day I've had. First I went to watch my favourite cricket team beat Derbyshire then I legged it to Newcastle to get my tickets for the 50th tour only to find out the booking office at the City Hall is closed and the notice said "Please use the ticket office at the Theatre Royal for City Hall tickets". So I legged it across Newcastle and finally got to the box office and asked for 2 tickets for Jethro Tull 5th April please. "Any preference" the lady asked. I said "centre stalls would be nice" She replied "the nearest we have to the stage is row Q" so I said "this is the first day those tickets go on sale, how come there's no seats nearer than those? Oh don't tell me the ticket agencies have got them all". She agreed. Any way I've got 2 seats on the left as you look at the stage. Better than nowt I suppose! When I got back home I realised I'd lost my mobile phone and remembered showing the lady my number on it at the box office and sure enough when I phoned them it's there so I'm back to Newcastle tomorrow to get it back. I'll put it down to my age I suppose My tickets

Brings joy to my cold little heart to see you all getting your tickets...Zobstick is right, Tull fans are happy to be in the same postal zone as Ian when he plays and as the years go by, it is proven over and over and over again how lucky we are. I expect a special bunch of gigs on tap,,,,surprise songs and guests....2018 and the Tull bandwagon rolls on...
