Hello everybody! I have been at JT50 concert July 19th in Rome, and it was my 9th JT/IA concert. Great show, by the way! One of the best I have ever seen, since my first, which was in 1988. Yes I was 20 at the time of the 20 years of jethro tull tour, I am 50 now, at the 50 years celebration, and I really hope I will be 60 at the 60th celebration, finger crossed. I have noticed smething that in fact I had already seen in recent live videos on youtube: different than a few years ago, Ian can actually sing live every single note, but he sings the lines very slowly, such that the vocal part takes a longer time than on record. So he has also changed something in order to be on time, for example, you may not notice it, but he now sings just two "Oh" instead of three in the "Too old of rockn roll" refrain! I suppose he has developed this slower-singing technique in order to hit the notes, which has been more difficult for him in "recent" years. Anyone whith a singing knowledge or background can tell us if what I have written above makes sense? In any case Ian voice and way of singing keeps changing every few decades and still he is the greatest performer of all!

Hi profg, Pleased to hear you enjoyed the Rome concert and I think you have a good point about Ian's singing. I thought he was singing just behind the tempo last time I saw the band live. I'm no expert when it comes to commenting on such things but I think Ian is trying his very bast to overcome his voice problems. By the way, I thought Ian's voice was as good as I've heard at the last 2 concerts I had the pleasure to attend I sincerely hope we're all able to be at the 60th Tull anniversary Cheers John/bunkerfan
