- Jethro Tull facts #6 - ⭐️ Loved from the classes of hard rock and heavy metal fans, Jethro Tull received heavy criticism from the toughest fans of the species, which led their then record label Chrysalis to do advertising positions of the band to the British guy with a flute touched on a bunch of metal rods with the line ′′ Flute is a heavy metal instrument."

Not sure if this has been "linked" elsewhere but apologies if it has. Ian Anderson has provided very comprehensive thoughts on Covid and the risks of attending & playing concerts. The link was taken from the formal Jethro Tull page. jethrotull.com/how-to-get-some-of-us-back-to-work/

Thanks Bunkerfan. He does talk a lot of sense. I was surprised at the level of detail he has gone into regards the droplets/microns breathed out under various conditions. I have seen various news reports about what happens to Covid droplets when people breathe but never what happens when they shout/sing/play the flute with a fan on !

Ian is a very intelligent man as we all know, and as he shared recently that he has copd, a serious lung condition, and is now 72 years old, he has to be very careful not to catch the virus...I hope to see him here in Perth Scotland whenever that gig is played, it has been moved from 2020 to 2021 and that's cool, it's always worth waiting for Ian

So wonderful to see Tull on the move, on the stage. I await 'Zealot Gene' video(s) ( hint, hint). Or have I overlooked version more recent than Spain last year?

Great pictures. I was at the Leicester show last week, so here are some general impressions. Overall an enjoyable evening. The new guitarist fitted in very well and the band, as always, was musically superb. I think I've commented before, though, that it feels like more of a show than a gig (compared, say, to seeing Martin a couple of years ago). Partly this is because of the excellent visuals on the screen at the back which mean that the drums are off centre and somehow this impacts on the dynamics on stage. The other part is Ian's voice. An on-going debate, I know, but the straining is a little bit of a barrier What we noticed (sitting in the front row) was how wheezy he seemed very soon into the set when talking. It's a game effort to keep going but, for me, it detracts a little from the performance.
The set list was a little odd. I suppose it's the difference between 'progressive' in the sense of pushing the music forward (which I know has always been Ian's thing) and 'prog' but you might have expected at least a nod to Passion Play. (This is from somebody who hated it when it came out - but Passion Jig might have been nice!) I felt that the momentum stalled a little in the second half but picked up for the usual blistering Aqualung/Locomotive Breath. It was odd to hear Wicked Windows but it seemed to me that there was a bit of a theme to the songs in the second half that centred on The Zealot Gene. That sounded pretty good on first hearing and the message of the second half seemed to be the need to focus on the things that unite us. That was reinforced by the images playing behind songs like the Clasp. It seemed very apparent in the visuals behind Land of Hope and Glory at the end of Locomotive Breath when a tune often associated with imperial bragging was undercut by images of flags representing a coming together - first of the nations of the UK coming together in the Union Jack (and we know Ian is a unionist - spoiler alert - me too), then of European flags coming together in the EU flag (Ian as remainer) then of selected world flags coming together in a symbolic heart (the need for global citizenship in the face of covid?). Those are my interpretations and sorry for upsetting those for whom it is just about the music - but I thought the symbolism of songs and images striking. For what it's worth, I'm glad that Ian has so much to say. I don't always agree with it but it's always thoughtful and his recent comments about the need to take a considered view on matters is something to hold dear in these fraught times.
Sorry for not posting for so long and my thanks to those who keep this forum going.

Does anyone know if the Perth gig is cancelled for tomorrow 27th According to what I've read on AND - yes, due to medical reasons. I see that the Glasgow gig was cancelled due to 'operational reasons' I can understand some people's frustration at not getting a fuller explanation but I doubt bands/musicians will ever give the full picture as to why.

I'd say 75-80%. It will amuse you to know that, in a radical reverse of the usual position, there were massive queues for the gents which the ladies just sailed past! Says something about the requirements of gentlemen of a certain age who comprised most of the audience.

After checking online with Facebook and other sources this is a real shock. However... Let's be patient and pray for anyone in the band that has a medical issue.
If this concerns exposure to Covid or any other illness we shall know fairly soon. The next performance in Blackburn is still a possibilty... LINK Perth Concert Hall and Perth Theatre - Horsecross URGENT message for ticket holders for Jethro Tull Fb LINK in Perth Concert Hall tomorrow Monday 27 September. We have just been advised that due to a medical issue in the touring party, the gig has been CANCELLED. We will be emailing all customers about this shortly. Hx

Cheers nonrabbit The Glasgow gig I knew was cancelled, it has been for a while now, but on that official sheet there Perth is shown as still on.. I've had an email from Perth Concert Hall (horsecross) that it is off though... Not much info, just a medical issue with one of the gang.

From the official site. Yes MD, but that still shows Perth going ahead and even NOW at 22.54 the official Tull site still has that info......although it's not happening as I have an email tonight from the horsecross site (Perth Concert Hall) saying it's cancelled...

I suppose hiccups and unpleasant surprises should be expected for a band touring during the Covid era. Let's hop-e this is minor and proves to be an exception rather than a first step in scaring everyone back into their hidey-holes.

Let's hop-e this is minor and proves to be an exception rather than a first step in scaring everyone back into their hidey-holes. My daughter and grandson went to Glasgow tonight to see McFly, and the singer/guitarist Tom Fletcher had to pull out at short notice due to Covid, and he is only a youngster......so this is happening to all guys..
