To be honest, it should be Ian's last tour as a vocalist ......
It's one of the reasons I'm not going to see him on this year (the other being that I suspect it'll be almost identical in terms of set-list to the 25th nniversary tour ....)
Getting Ryan in for TAAB2 and HE was a great idea, and should be extended to having him (or someone else) take on the vocals permanently (do we know if Ryan os on this tour or not?). Ian can "guest" on the occasional song if he likes. And obviously play the flute and do the jokes and still be the front man. Just not lead vocalist.

There are some who feel the same way and I will not be negative about their reasons. All I can say is that for every person that does not go, there are many more willing to endure Ian's vocal style. After 2012 the same was said by those who became angry over Martin's departure and laughed at Ryan O'Donnell.
In some places people who did attend would be even more critical trying to focus on the differences as well. I also I hear this from time to time... IAN SHOULD RETIRE !!!
When this tour is over and those who wish to RETIRE from going, it won't be me !!!

Sorry I panicked...I saw the tweet at work and could not listen to the podcast. Phew and thanks, Jim. No one loved Ryan more than me...but Ian retire or me retire from Tull concerts? Well, you saw my horror at the thought. Please sir, can we have some more ?

Some of us enjoy witnessing the struggle. I like to think of it as passion, not a struggle, but it's all the same. It's strained, behind the beat, and not always on key, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just different. My number one favorite vocalist is actually a tie: Young Ian and, you guessed it, Old Ian. The virtual duet on the Rock Opera tour during "Witch's Promise" was the best I've ever heard him sing. I can't think of anything more beautiful. Not my little boy. Not my wife on the day we were married. I've told her that. Fine, don't go see him this upcoming tour. He won't miss you.

Whoah I was respecting your opinion and understanding your reasons for appreciating Ian's vocals at present, however you lost me at the end. Essen is a long term Tull fan and a long time contributor to this site. His posts, like your own have been consistently interesting, polite and appreciative. Not deserving of the comment at the end of your post.

Probably more in agreement than the rest especially with the point of having an additional singer. I can still be loyal to Ian with all his talent, creativity,ingenuity,personality and history without going to every concert.I wish though he would differ his patter on presentation ( not recycle the same jokes) Respect to him on interviews though when he's asked the same old questions and he has to answer them - patiently. His vocals are strained. I can understand ( as much as I don't know him) his choice of performing all vocals but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Having said that on Change Of Horses it worked,because the song is reflective on life and his vocals suit that very well. My respectful opinion.

Just a side note... For many of us here the idea of Ian Anderson retiring is a very disturbing thought. For others, not so much. I wake up thinking about TULL in my search for new information related to the past, present & future.
It means that much to most of us although not as much to some who feel the past was superior to the present. In some ways it becomes almost a political view between Liberal and Conservative TULL Fans.
On the basis of personal tastes, we all have differences about which albums mean the most or even songs. I remember a musician that told me years ago... "There is no bad music, there is only what you like or don't like".
I love everyone as long as things don't become angry and I try to avoid any anger over what others believe. Yes Ian Anderson's voice has changed over the years and some feel it has changed for the worse. Actually there is no perfect voice at any age because we either like it or not. I like it.
I just want to have FUN with the coolest band in HISTORY for as long as possible. This makes me HAPPY.

Non sequiter because I am too lazy to change threads and because I love the passion in this thread so far...guess what> Dee Plamer's album bursts out as a TULL album by about the fourth full listen. IT IS SOOOOOOO GOOD.

"IT IS SOOOOOOO GOOD" Well said Steelmonkey. I think it Dee's album is excellent and have been looking to see if anyone else agreed with my view. Parts of it are so like Tull in the "Heavy Horses" era. In particular from about 4:30 to 6:00 minutes on the first track "Urban Apocalypse" when both Dee and Martin Barre feature.
It has convinced me (even more) that Dee played a huge part in the Tull sounds of that era (as did Martin). Very impressed with Dee's flute and abilities on other instruments. I almost wondered whether she had brought in some extra help from an old band mate on flute...

My kids and my wife are far more to me than anything. Reading a statement like this is saddening and hopefully you simply exaggerated in and of the moment. No further discussion from me though...that's it. Wow.

Well, my daughter is 13 ( no wife) and most of the time I love her more than anything in the world...but some days I would trade her for a good Tull concert and maybe a milk chocolate Suchard or Lindt bar thrown in. Tull music is pretty high on my 'beauty' gradient...I would put my daughter's face asleep and the instrumental section of Velvet Green in about the same strata.

You didn't make a challenge to your family directly to them as stated in the former post which by all rational sense, to me anyway, was embellished but if not, to each. Live and let live howsoever I suppose. You're a good Dad! I like reading stuff like that.
