southingtonobserver.com/2018/09/14/ian-anderson-shows-how-to-stir-the-pot-of-creativity/Ian Anderson shows how to stir the pot of creativitySeptember 14, 2018 by MIKE CHAIKEN If you’re going to stick with any career for 50 years, it needs to be more than a job where you punch in and punch out, doing the same thing every day, day in and day out. There has to be the occasion change of scenery and room to grow. This is especially true in the creative arts. If you start your artistic career drawing apples and you draw the apples the same way for the next 50 years, you’ll likely grow deadly bored. And any audience you had would grow so bored, they’d walk away. With art comes the necessity to play, grow, and evolve. No matter what you think of the music of the band Jethro Tull and its leader Ian Anderson, the group has never tried to follow the path of convention and has always been willing to play, to change things up, and do something different before they and its audience grows bored. This came to mind on Sept. 12, as Anderson came to the Toyota Oakdale Theater as a solo artist celebrating the 50th anniversary of the music of Jethro Tull. The evening, which was split into two acts, showed the breadth of Tull’s ambitions through its five decade career. There was, of course, the riff driven rock of the classic “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath,” which put the band in the company of groups like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. There were also nods to its initial days as blues rockers, who were seen as the successors to Cream, with such tracks as “My Sunday Feeling.” There were demonstrations of their affinity to jazz, with “Dharma for One.” There was its whimsical detour into progressive rock with “Thick as a Brick.” There were touches of folk rock with “Heavy Horses.” There was even a nod to Christmas music with “Solstice Bells.” Although a lot of Jethro Tull’s music these days is relegated to classic rock stations, and derogatorily referred to as “dinosaur rock,” listening to Ian Anderson play the music, and keeping in mind the context of the 1960s and 1970s, a lot of the material was breaking new ground. Anderson and crew were quite willing to “try” things to see what stuck up against the wall. There was a good deal of creativity on display in the group’s songwriting that we may take for granted in 2018 since it’s not the flavor of the moment. On stage, Anderson was blessed with a great band for this tour– Florian Opahle on guitar, Scott Hammond on drums, John O’Hara on keys, and David Goodier on bass. They easily maneuvered around the change moods, textures, and time signatures of Tull’s music. And they brought a good deal of power and drive to the numbers, especially on hard rockers like “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath.” Ian Anderson also has lost none of his shine as an entertainer. His flute playing still is superb. And he has a great mastery of the acoustic guitar. Time has robbed him of the top end of his vocal registry. But fortunately, Anderson was never a screamer like Robert Plant. He always had a lilting sing-speak approach to his complex lyrics. So where Anderson could not reach the few high notes attempted in his heyday, the band – and some video recordings—stepped in to help. One of the most delightful aspects of the show was Anderson’s willingness to tap into some of Tull’s deep tracks. There were favorites like “Thick as a Brick,” of course. But it also was fun to hear “Song for Jeffrey,” “Farm on the Freeway,” and “A Passion Play.” New music from Anderson has slowed down over the years. The changing music industry, however, has a lot to do with it. But with a catalogue as diverse and deep as Jethro Tull’s, Anderson can take great pride in reveling in what he has been able to accomplish over five decades. I give Ian Anderson’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of Jethro Tull 3 ½ out of 4 stars. PHOTOS by MIKE CHAIKEN

Ian Anderson Presents: Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour Toyota Oakdale Theater – Wallingford, CT September 12, 2018 LINK Ian Anderson brought his band to the Oakdale Theater on September 12th to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Jethro Tull. The 70 year old Anderson proclaimed his surprise that the years had flown by so quickly. Even at this age he is still fit on his feet and cavorted the stage with his signature foot raised moves while playing the flute. It was 1968 at the Marquee Club in that Jethro Tull launched itself into history with the progressive sound and being the only band with a flutist frontman. Anderson is not only adept with flute but also on harmonica as well as singing lead for the band. Ian Anderson was joined onstage by Jethro Tull band musicians David Goodier on bass , Florian Opahle on guitar, John O’Hara on keyboards and Scott Hammond on drums. They divided the show into two sets with a short intermission. The first set was the early years of the bands cuts and started of with “My Sunday Feeling” off the album “This Was” from 1968. They progressed through songs of the early years and cuts off albums that were released into the 70’s.
The show had a backing of video from concerts back in the 60’s and early 70’s behind the band. There were also small clips from former band members and notable fans of Jethro Tull played between songs. Notably though that with all of the clips praising Anderson and the band there was not a clip from Martin Barre. He was perhaps the most well know member by the public and fans next to Ian Anderson. Barre contributed much to the band and its legacy and it was too bad he was not a part of this 50th year recognition. There were clips from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott. Even Joe Bonamassa who recorded the song “A New Day Yesterday” on his debut studio album in 2000 joined in to wish the band well in the 50th year. With the intro to “My God” off the 1971 “Aqualung” album Anderson stated that he was criticized and called blasphemous when performing the song in the deep south bible belt. He reasoned the song was misunderstood and it was not his intent.
The second set included ironically the song “Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll, Too Young to Die,” which at the time written was comical and seemed to make fun of old rockers. It drew laughter from the audience, many who have followed Jethro Tull’s music since the early days.
As most bands do they saved the biggest hits for last and had the audience cheering when they started the always looked for “Aqualung.” The animated Anderson was still full of energy and finished off on a great note. The encore was “Locomotive Breath” and the crowd was not dissapointed as the band chugged into the night and the crowd was the all time winner. There were a couple of songs I would have liked for them to have included that they didn’t such as “Bungle in the Jungle” and “Living in the Past,” but with their large collection to select from they can’t all always be played in a couple of hours. Maybe next time. Anderson still has boundless energy and stage presence throughout the show. Like all of the 60’s bands each year of touring is a gift. Still on their game and a great concert to see if you get the chance. Review by Donna Erichsen Photos by George Bekris Set 1: My Sunday Feeling Love Story A Song for Jeffrey Some Day the Sun Won’t Shine for You Dharma for One A New Day Yesterday Bourrée in E minor My God Thick as a Brick Set 2: A Passion Play Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll, Too Young to Die Songs From the Wood Ring Out, Solstice Bells Heavy Horses Pastime With Good Company (King Henry VIII of England cover) Farm on the Freeway Aqualung Encore: Locomotive Breath

The formation of Jethro Tull, whose leader is a charismatic singer, Ian Anderson, will celebrate our 50th anniversary in our country. Her showcase is the album "Aqualung" from 1971 and the title composition from this album. The musicians of Jethro Tull did not just play progressive rock and complex suits. Their hallmark was a frequent change of style - from blues to folk to hard rock. The album "Crest of a Knave" from 1987 received the Grammy Award in the category of "the best heavyweight group", which was a great surprise for music critics. The biggest group fans in their discography also have such pearls as "Benefit", "Aqualung", "Thick as a Brick" or "Heavy Horses" - classic today for the music of entertainment. * November 11: Jethro Tull, CSK opera house, at 19, tickets: PLN 199-249

www.muzika.hr/izvjestaji/jethro-tull-dom-sportova/Jethro Tull at the Sports Hall: A guide through the most important periodIvan Miočić -14. lis. 18th I would not want to make a peek, but Ian Anderson was actually the one who represented the opus of Jethro Tull and the most relevant period of the band in the late 1960s and 1970s. Although there can be no clear boundaries where Anderson's solo career ends, and where new stage Jethro Tull starts, at the concert bearing the name of this anthology band, it would be nice to see if at least Martin Barre, a man who was a member, From 1968 to 2012, or band break. The nightmare was made by mercenaries from the Anderson solo band, and the occasion of socializing was the 50th birthday of the debut album Jethro Tull "This Was" (and where you were half a century ago, please). The band then began a story that intensively enriched the music world. That story obviously, and with all the happiness, is still not forgotten. photo: Monika Bracevic "Who still listens to Flinstone ?!" a visionary asked me referring to the concert last night where he was not. "Nobody!" I say. The small hall of the House of Sport was sold out. And by the audience that bands obviously does not lock in the decades of the most relevant periods of action. Timeless music is always good to hear live. Especially when it's done as well as last night. Unlike a good part of other bands from the same period, and so many younger players, Ian Anderson with his team still can deliver two hours of professional, sophisticated and pretty impressive performances, at least as far as the instrumental part is concerned. It is a band from which you can still learn a lot, especially if you are determined to go with some of your own music story. But the most important thing is to discover and experience new music, which does not necessarily imply new bands, but simply - new music. Because, in fact, music did not begin in 2010. This was the fourth concert by Jethro Tull in front of the local audience. This was the first time that it took place in 1975 at the Great Hall of the Sports Hall. In Little Hall, they returned only in 2000 and again in 2004 . Last night, they watched individuals who did it in 1975, but also a team that was not even born in 2000. photo: Monika Bracevic Though the entire tour, as well as the last night's concert, the half-year anniversary of the album "This Was", it was not entirely performed. There were four or five pieces (depending on which release you got in hand), while the rest of the set list consisted of one, two or three titles from most album followers ranging from "Stand Up" from '69. up to "Stormwatch" from '79. Unfortunately, "Benefit" was completely frozen, while the remainder of the discography of the most notable period was featured in one title with the Grammy Award-winning album "Crest Of A Knave" from '87. Some of the songs have been announced by former band members who appeared on video. They were announced by former bassist Jeffrey Hammond, first guitarist Mick Abrahams, another (though one-shot) guitarist Tony Iommi, keyboardist John Evan etc. Before "Dharma For One" we recalled (unfortunately, without video clips) the original drummer, the famous Clive Bunker , but nowhere, and nowhere was there any trace or voice about Martin Barre. On the video, if I'm not sure, Claude Nobs also appeared, the other part of the concert was announced even less than the big fan of Steve Harris, while two or three beautiful words about " Aqualung" said Slash. Fortunately, no good word approached Dave Grohla. Ian Anderson is still a brilliant frontman. Lively, communicative and somewhat eccentric , the man enjoys everything he does (or at least he does). The magic of his flute was worth experiencing. Stand on one leg, too. But what is really a pity is the fact that he has lost a low voice. Once the great vocal performance last night was so great for that instrumental. It was really painful to listen to. photo: Monika Bracevic From the introductory "My Sunday Feeling" to the finishing, seriously metallized "Locomotive Breath" band, the band presented most of the glamor and glamor of old good Jethro Tulla . Style variations from blues to stiffer rock, through classics and elements of jazz, all of which are often worn in a very envious construction of songs ... These are all the great virtues of this band from which geysers of inspiration can be drawn. And that could be felt last night, whether it was the performance of selected parts of the massive and complex compositions " Thick As A Brick" and " A Passion Play" , cult titles like " Dharma For One" (drums were not the shadow of those of Clive Bunker ), " My God" and " Heavy Horses", or rock drones such as "Aqualung" or " Locomotive Breath" . Always possessed sophistication was " Bourée in E minor" (JS Bach would be proud) and an excellent interpretation of King Henry VIII's madrigal. named " Pastime With Good Company" . Instrumentalism was all at a high level , and sound was also clearly clear almost throughout the entire concert. However, serious cracks were evident in the vocal part of the concert . Anderson's voice has simply been cut, and the "Heavy Horses" and "Aqualung" performances have been supported by guest vocalists - from videotapes. Still, none of the above seemed to be a problem with the filled sports hall. Parter was surprised by the open expression of emotion on every other tone of Anderson's flute or on occasional prominent guitar solos by Florian Opahle. On the stands, however, the night of the living dead was ruled. Two-time track recorder Ian Anderson and his Jethro Tull proved to be very well-conceived and in all probability successful . But still, this was one of those concerts whose audio recordings I would not like to play on a repeat , so maybe they do not even own it. Instead, I'd rather dedicate myself to the Jethro Tull CD, Plate and other soundtracks. setlist: My Sunday Feeling Love Story Song For Jeffrey Some Day The Sun will not shine for you Dharma For One A New Day Yesterday Bourée in E minor My God Thick As A Brick A Passion Play (God) Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young To Die Songs From The Wood Ring Out Solstice Bells Heavy Horses Pastime With Good Company Farm On The Freeway aqualung Locomotive Breath

balkanrock.com/reportaze/50-godina-kreativno-sazetih-u-dva-sata-jethro-tull-u-sava-centru/50 years of creative compilation in two hours - Jethro Tull in Sava CenterBranislav Cvetković - 15.10.2018. Jethro Tull; photos: Nemanja Đorđević After the Zagreb Sports Club, Jethro Tull came out on the Sava Center last night for the second time and recorded a total of three visits to Belgrade. The reason for the visit is the fiftieth anniversary of the band, and should be grateful to the organizers of the tour as the Serbian capital was on the map of the road of the Blackpool band. He knew what kind of concept we were expecting, two equally long sets of songs that separated the fifteen-minute break. However, we did not know that there was a different announcement for each performed track. Some interesting story was presented by Ian Anderson , while some were announced with video messages, former members of the band and other musicians of Tulle music fans, broadcast on screen behind a band that looked like antique TV. The majority of the elderly audience found their place, listening to how the Tulla songs that will not be heard live tonight will be heard from the audience. Reluctantly, impatience only grew. At 20:30 on the TV screen, broadcasting of the band from a rich concert history began, which replaced the countdown and welcome to the first part of the performance. The band took its positions and opened with "My Sunday Feeling" . After a couple of strokes, Ian took a flutter like a shepherd squeezed his appearance on the scene and took a recognizable post until he began to sing. Yes, it could be assumed that this will not be the vocal edition of Ian from the '70s, but nothing else in his performance was not fatal, it was even great. He jumped, made ridiculous movements with his hands and feet, ran, sneaked on the scene, and whenever he did not, he held the left-handed article leaning against the knee of his right leg, which the audience always gladly greeted. Laik would have thought that the inability of Ian to extract more tones from his throat would interfere with the frontman's playing flute and lips of the accordion. However, this was by no means the case, he played flawlessly, as confirmed by the songs "Song For Jeffery" and "Some Day the Sun Will not Shine for You" . Both were played in honor of former members of the band who announced them in a payment message, first done by Jeffery Hammond - Hammond , then Mick Abrahams . One of the breaks between the songs Ian used to (in the joke or not, probably not) says that Tull had a total of 36 members, and that the keyboards remember only by numbers. Last night there were seven in Belgrade, John O'Hara . The audience laughed "New Day Yesterday" . In the first part of the play, Ian did not have vocal help, but his fingers waved to get a higher tone from his heel. "Dharma for One" was an ideal opportunity for drummer Scott Hammond to show art, but also the opportunity for a flute to rattle for the first time the way he does it in Ian's hands. "Bouree" , which Tony Iommi "ordered" on canvas, caused the first great enthusiasm, which was followed by the thunderous "My God" . With the harmonic of flutes and guitars, what kind of ear can only wish, "Thick as a Brick" completes the first part. Greetings Steve Harissa with canvas, began the second part and quickly entered the "Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die" . This timeless hit, during which they finally joined the accompanying vocals, caused another great enthusiasm. The audience rolled the body in a rhythm and sang a refren enjoying the melody. Flute instead of a bat, Ian conducted "Songs From the Wood" and "Ring Out Solstice Bells" . Then two songs were performed by which the band presented its musical skills. "Heavy Horses" showed the consistency of the composition from which the sweetest melody is produced, produced by the common sound of flutes and guitars. It was followed by the processing of a song from the beginning of the 16th century "Pastime With Good Company" , also known as "King's Ballad". King Henry VIII, King of England, was recorded as the author. This instrument created an atmosphere of entertainment from the English medieval court gatherings, which the audience completed with the palms. A visibly raised mood in the parter and the balcony awaited a grand finale. The canvas filled the well-known shaved head masked with glasses. It was Slash . He shortly said: " Aqualung is one of the best rock songs ever." The powerful vibration was shaken by the Sava Center. Masan and heavy flute from the guitar Florian Ophale pulled out those of the first rows and shook the ones in the last, while Ian followed every movement with the movement of the body. The implementation justified Slash's claim. That thing contains everything we love in rock 'n' roll. Hard riff, loose, flattering piano tune, melancholic central part on acoustic guitar, melodic solo, unusual lyrics and loud ending. The strongest applause and exclamations lasted so long that the team from the stage could take a break and slowly overpower the audience with the introduction of "Locomotive Breath", which lasted unusually long and ended in improvisation. Recognizing the end of the performance, the Sava Center rose to its feet and applauded the band with its longtime founder, who quickly bounced behind the curtain. This was undoubtedly the weakest vocal performance by Ian that Belgrade experienced. But let not your first thought of this concert be this, but that Belgrade was presenting the live leg of the legend that came to us, probably the last time, and made all of us the most exciting way through the rich fifty-year-old opus of the famous British band.

A very progressive rock, crammed with Ian Anderson's magic flute, and songs that, although played for the bang well before your birthday, fill your soul to the point where you can jump on the stage - this was the musical lesson of the cult group in the National Palace of Culture on Wednesday night. The show is part of Jethro Tull's farewell tour, which celebrates its half-century story. It all started with Love Story on the album This Was (1968). A few songs later than the "Good Evening" microphone congratulated Anderson himself, whose behavior did not suggest that the musician had recently spent his 71th year. It was his jumps that outlined the little movement on stage for the evening. But there is no need for fanfare where history speaks. Literally. Several of Jethro Tull's former members, including Jeffrey Hammond and Tony Ayomi of Black Sabbath, have signed up for video and audience feedback. And each of them seemed to order a favorite piece of his own, which the band played at the moment of the crowd of about 2,000 people in the hall. Although there were empty seats in the audience, it did not make sense of the strength of the general choir that appealed to Anderson at key moments. The appearance of the audience also complemented the overall picture of the concert, proving first that Jethro Tull was not a band of "omnivorous" melodies, and secondly, that once he felt the magic of the flute, he never forgot. Mostly men whose age is no less than that of the band, but their characters are perched in long gray hair and black merchandise t-shirts, kept as if for a special occasion like this, represented nearly 90% of the fans present at the National Palace of Culture. Here and there, there was a lady, a son / daughter or a granddaughter, who also did not miss the hum of songs such as Thick As A Brick, My God, and so on. And for the final, the good news is that it's not the last "close-up" meeting of fans with Anderson and a company. On the occasion of their 50th birthday, the musicians will also produce an illustrative hardcover book. But it will become a market fact next year.

In the run-up he talks about the beginnings. One could almost speak of "Fake News", which have established Ian Anderson's world career on the flute. It all began in 1968 in a London club, when the young Scot played harmonica in his then band, balancing on one leg for whatever reason and clasping the microphone stand so as not to fall over. "A music critic wrote two things afterwards", recalls the 71-year-old in a telephone conversation with the "Wiener Zeitung" with a smile on the beginning of Jethro Tull: "First: There was a flute player." Second: The guy has on one Leg played. " The apparently flawed memory of the journalist had great consequences: Anderson reared in the episode not only on the flute and developed as a self-taught within a few months his very special blowing technique, but also cultivated the games on one leg to meet the expectations - a he could not hold on to the mic stand with the flute. "But I learned it." Over the next 50 years, this flamingo pose has become a kind of brand. Ian Anderson in a typical attitude for which a journalist was responsible at the time.

An agricultural pioneer as godfather for the band name On December 10, the Scottish Flute Flamingo is now celebrating its anniversary tour in the Wiener Stadthalle. "It's going to be a real 50-year celebration, focusing on the music of the first ten, twelve years of Jethro Tull," promises Anderson - who's the only one left over from the line-up - to the fans of the first hour. "I think that's our biggest fan base: those who heard our Progressive Rock back then, be it in Europe, America, Russia or India - we were the New Kids on the block back then." And he's sure the after-borns, who grew up with their parents' Tull records, will like the setlist as well. And for nostalgics, the 36 band members who have helped shape Jethro Tull in five decades In this context, he confesses that the band name is still a bit embarrassing even after 50 years. The name of Henry Jethro William Tull (1674-1741), underestimated in his lifetime father of modern agricultural science, has certainly not grown on his crap, but was the idea of the then agent of the band, who studied history. "I thought it was a joke at first, but we succeeded, and changing the band name for the fifth time in five weeks would not have been a good idea." information Ian Anderson: "50 years of Jethro Tull" 10th December 2018 Wiener Stadthalle F ( www.stadthalle.com ) 28th June 2019 - Clam Rock ( www.clamlive.at ) 29th June 2019 - Lovely Days Festival ( www.schlossparkfestival. com )

www.sound-report.com/koncerti/dom-sportova-jethro-tull-2018-10-13photo: Jethro Tull, credit: Vedran Levi, LAA Jethro Tull - Hot night in Zagreb Although from This Was to the Christmas album 2014, over thirty musicians passed through the band, and although Jethro Tull officially ceased to be the same in 2014, the most famous band named after an agricultural innovator has been in Zagreb for 50 years to celebrate its 50th anniversary . From the original post - and the last of the one who released the last album - only Ian Anderson was left, but as one of the Tulla definitions that their setup constantly changes, whatever incarnation you saw, you saw Jethro Tull. You were at Anderson's solo concert? You've seen Jethro Tull just by playing the songs of some flautist who's known to you. I do not want to reduce the value of Anderson's solo creativity or the number of musicians who have added extraordinary art to the band, but the main determinant of Tulla, right in front of the rotating door at the studio entrance, is that same flute of expressive movements and specific facial expressions. Through the two hours of the concert (with fifteen-minute pause), these first fifty years passed, all the way to the "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" . Did they skip this album? They have al materials to fill several concerts. Only "Thick as a Brick" covers one, so it was to be expected that some parts of the concert would take over with Aqualung . They could not only play "My God" - we knew that when and when "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath" would be released, the finishing touches of a solid set that dazzled the superficial and obsessive accompanist of the band's opus. The silence and the energy that accompanied them, and the last two songs, showed to all who were not quite convinced that any of the seven banks and his friends with the blunders could break the rock as it is, that it is never a good idea to write off a good horse from the race. True, the mentioned horse can no longer push the leg in that known pose, but to be honest, it can not even be the author of this text so no one is banging. Konjevo's hobby is rhythmic ... innovatively. Innovation does not go with anyone, but it definitely exists. Vocal games that have bored all these wonderful melodies have long been sent to the farm. But when a horse takes a flute in her hand, a dances dance with lickers. Nice, experienced, with those details that stand out as a very special flute. What then will a man sing? Anyway, you know the text. If not, it really does not matter - the hardest parts are skillfully worn out, and the rest of the time you are already occupy an excellent band. Provided, of course, to stand in the right location, where Mercury enters Venus and the door of the Seventh House is seen through the cloud. When the stars are set, and the young moon is born in the eye of the deer, everything sounds great. If, as I do, you find yourself in places where three generations of ritual murders occurred, and a heavy scent of sin like a sail broke the ground, each sneaky song sounds like a jumble of sound through which the flute accompanies the drum . Alright is a flute, and drums hold the rhythm. Do not think I did not enjoy them in those jumbo, because from time to time - for reasons that so deeply get into the details of the sound waves that the professor emeritus could not explain everything before three losers - it sounded and everything sounded clear enough for the unloaded enjoyment. One thing to keep in mind is that, according to the information we received from the MG (the year known in the newsroom), which followed the concert as well as to the lady in the years, the sound sounded great from that, so take my experience with the salt. Maybe it's just my youthful ears. And there were so many - the youthful and old-fashioned ears were two hours equals, indulging in timeless rock. I know I could put this in a less pathetic way, but grown-up kids kept parents together enjoying the music that unites them and it gossiped me and if it makes me pathetic and not, you're crying and, in any case, you're pathetic and I do not know why are we still talking about this? As somebody grabbed my glasses, I just want to use this little visibility to get the expected cliché: it looks like you've never been too old to play rock'n'roll, even if you're not too young for ... the other. Not that I want anything bad to happen to Ian. After all, I said they marked the first fifty years. Two thousand sixty-eight I expect to see Ian Anderson's brain in the jar of playing the holographic frula, and I'm going to lead my daughter, the self-conscious head of celery. I do not know either. The future is weird.
