Ryan's voice is passable but not even close to the greatness that IA once possesed. Anderson's vocals on this tour were decent and delivered in a way that still surpasses Ryan's bits (for the most part). Good point. His voice was unique however what he has now is a good alternative what with the "Young Pretender" and the theatrics. Probably the best alternative rather than giving up completely or choosing the wrong vocalist.

How can peeps even compare the two?! or talk about what Ian's voice ONCE was compared to Ryan? Ryan can, at least, SING! All of Tull's music is GREAT. But when I hear a great song in concert and then Ian sings,....sorry...but I literally cringe. He ruins his own great songs by croaking the lyrics. Is you people delusional? or half-deaf?
Ian, play the flute, the acoutic guitar the mandolin, the harmnica, and even the claghorn if you want to. You're a great musician. But (God, please, I implore you!)....don't "sing" (quotes necessary)
RYAN, PLEASE SING THE WHOLE CONCERT. Pretty please?

All valid viewpoints Tommie. Have been going to see Ian in whatever form for almost 41 years to the day and from my, very possibly delusional viewpoint, the quality over the past 18, since 95, in live performance has likely been the most consistent overall during this time period. Highs not as high. What might have been Tull's last American show in Chicago's Rosemont, was flawless quality front to back, might have been ticked up a bit by seeing them with a close buddy I had seen them with in 72 and 75, we both were floored, more than I expected. Pretty sure the download of that show and others on that tour are the usual, in part, yawn however though. We also, with another buddy we saw the original Brick tour with, saw the recent one. That one I expected to be excellent and very definitely was not disapointed, even though I had listened to at least 10 live performances, and 10 or 15 plays of the album. Btw, Ian sings about 65 per cent of TAAB, maybe a little more of TAAB2. The shared vocals on the closing tracks on TAAB2, the one with all the addresses in it, is pretty impressive in live performance. But Ian is 65 and I can also see where someone might think it is a big nose singing to them from the stage. Still works for me. Usually.

I respect your views, Tullist. But one thing I'd like to point out. People on these boards always say that Ian is 65 now and cant be expected to sing as well as blah blah blah. But I've seen Tull/Ian solo close to 60 times (so I obviously love the music). And his voice has been terrible since at least 1987. He was only 40 then so the oild-age excuse def dont wash. I really think that the problem with people;s opinions is that every seems to have seen Ian many times and OTHER bands/artists very few times in comparison. I love some other bands/artist AS MUCH as Tull and, thus, have seen them in concert about the same amount of times. So I know from whence I speak. (Again I'm speaking about singing here, not about the music in general). Nobody has as pathetic and embarrassingly bad a singing voice than Ian. Ask Tull fans on these boards who else they've caught in concert 60 or more times. People like Neil Young or Jack Bruce or so many others whom I've seen consistently over the years alongside my Tull shows.........are all OLDER than Ian, have continued to regularly put out NEW material every 2 years at least, respect their fans and can SING. Age dont mean $h1t. No excuse. I'm just a masochist I guess. haha

Anderson’s vocals are never going to sound as they did in his 1970s heyday, but using Ryan's voice means he doesn’t have to extend his voice to the levels he has to do when on a full Jethro Tull tour. I think we should stop moaning about Ian's voice and be glad he's still prepared to tour the world and share his great talent with us all. Hurrah for Ian Anderson!

Agree with bunkerfan, when I comment that Ryan's voice reminds me of Anderson in better times, do not mean at the fastest times, but in better times, hope my English will not betray me... Of course Ryan voice never approached Ian's voice at the best times, but I think Ryan's contribution in these tours is very good and fits well with Ian's voice. Hurrah for Ian Anderson!

Difficult to argue with that one Tommie, the voice is an inarguable problem for better than half their career. I spose I am occasionally surprised that people do not recognize the improvements since 95, a time at which he figured in its predicament and learned to sing within its constraints. Additionally I would challenge you to mark one spot on any of their several DVD's released since 95 to spot the one second that the voice in any way let the side down. I mean they might be there. I have little doubt that I could find that one second on the 1970 dvd. Certainly the itching routine did not work for me in 1970. I am with you on the phallic flute, especially now that he is 20 years removed from being able to twirl it, my personal favorite Anderson affectation. It would seem the following should be permanently put to bed for live performance, Heavy Horses, TOTRRTYTD and SFTW. Having said that I am nearly baffled by his ability to address Aqualung and Locomotive Breath over the past 20 years, 2 that absolutely had me cringing between 1987 and 1993. Maybe hardened decades long Tull fans are no longer paying attention by that point of the show. As to who else I have seen more than Tull not a particularly fair question though I daresay my list of viewed performers more than challenges your own, albeit with a 70 per cent inclusion of jazz musicians who people may or may not have heard of. But of course in my case there is the example of the Grateful Dead. I was never trainspotting enough to keep an exact count on the number of times, and very much a latecomer nonbeliever in the late in the game Grateful Dead date of June 83, but I did manage to see them around 90 times between then and the end 12 years later, which is probably roughly the number of times I have seen Ian or Tull. Maybe 10 or so less. My other four in my holy sextet, Beatles, Jimi, Miles and John Coltrane I did not have the chance to see as all but Miles had left the game by my arrival. (Oh technically I was a massive fan of the Beatles at 7 in 64 and Jimi upon hearing Purple Haze at 10 in 67, but the idea of my parents allowing me to go see the show was non existant, I had to sneak away from a family dinner in 5/72 to see Tull the first time, knowing better than to inform the parents of my intent) Miles I saw maybe seven times, even got to touch the hand somewhere around 88, lol. A handful of folks I have seen maybe 10 times, Fairport, RT, Art Blakey, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, Hot Tuna and Dave Alvin all come to mind on that count. Plus I have seen Beatles George and Paul. Regrettably George mostly sucked as a result of going on tour with something wrong with his voice. But for the single moment of seeing that smile through the binoculars still made it well worthwhile. Re our own St Graham, that is the type of review I am talking about re the 1970's, and have left me a very bitter Tull fan ever since, especially given what they were usually slipping me as an alternative. In this guys case I at least liked the early Byrds, very much, and would always acknowledge them as a credible outfit regardless of year. Oh, and a late add, as to who's voice has taken a worse turn than Ian's, though I have not heard it recently and had liked the turn it had taken over 20 years ago, there is the Zimmerman boy from Hibbing Minnesota. Oh I understand there are people who say he never could sing, can't exactly say they are wrong. And given time I may think of some others.

Have to agree, albeit sadly.............. I think also reading between the lines that Ian's vocal problems are the reason that he and Martin had the falling out........ I'm a lifelong fan also, have all the stuff too, but it is sad to witness Ian's struggling vocals........ Regarding young Ryan's part........the jury is out...... Saw the TAAB2 gig, and it was cool, but don't like him singing other stuff.. ...his Locomotive Breath with fake accent was cringeworthy..... If they do A Passion Play live, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ......then he can stay for the vocals...............

Let's get back to the Ryan O'Donnell thread: ;D Creation:The Story Behind the Beginning (2010) Short/Comedy - 19 min Creation: The Story Behind the Beginning is a recounting of the creation of the World by its participants: Lucifer, Jesus, Gabriel and Michael. A short comedy/mockumentary film in the style of the popular VH1 series Behind the Music, each character gives their unique side of the story. We are guided through the inevitable ego clashes, disagreements and proceeding downfall, similar to the typical arc of most rock bands. (Christopher Rithin / Lucifer), ( Chris Wild / Michael), (Tara O'Hagan / Gabriel), (Ryan O'Donnell / Jesus)

Careful where you swing that rather wide brush young man, there is a still highly vital older man here, me, who takes deep umbrage with such commentary. Tommie, if you were ever silly enough to engage me in overall musical knowledge, I would bury you without blinking an eye. Not hard to see how you are stuck in rock and roll world having come up in a time when a band like Heart "mattered." I am the person who made commentary re the DVD. Doubtless you are the type who has friends within the Tull family, including Ian and Shona, (as if) that allow you to give your studious commentary as regards vocal overdubs. And I will even allow a maybe. But then how do you explain that show from Italy in 05, as you know so damn well, one of the washed up years, that is not a commercial release, yet a professional recording. Vocals might be right to your Passion Play liking, but damned if he does not hit each note with full on focus and hitting the note exactly, neck veins indeed bulging, as the vein in his forehead used to in the codpiece year. Temper your commentary with the truth. And any old time you want to challenge me at musical knowledge, try me. Yes I love Tull best. But I also love the Beatles, Jimi, GDead Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Ancillary avenues include, JSBach, Art Blakey, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Chuck Berry, Dave Alvin, Emmylou Harris, Sun Ra, Max Roach, Coleman Hawkins, Art Ensemble of Chicago and ever and always the Rolling Stones. (Show me a band from the past 40 years who belongs in the same sentence with any of those and I will be ears wide open). There has not been. Did not say there has not been anybody good, or even great, though likely not on the radio, but none who belong even in the same sentence. No one. Not one. Not close. Believe me that list of mine extends into the hundreds, some of those rock bands you mention here and there I have heard about 3 seconds of, it is all I need, with the smallest of apologies extended to your Neil Young. Believe me brother you ain't all that, not even a bit of it. I realize humility is not your game but one can be taught it. The fact is, son, that you lack the musical breath to understand all that Ian Anderson has had his hands in, though happy to read you like SLOB. Pretty much have read all I care to of this knowing "fall out" between Ian and Martin. What is this that people are so certain of, to speak of it in such knowing terms. What you know is jack7777. Jethro Tull still exists. I mean really, where do mf's get off? Now is it possible Ian can no longer speak within the Tull requirements? Yes, that is a possibility though awfully potent in their next to last show I saw, if that was a bored Martin, we need to see more of that. But this bs about falling outs, or other commentary about past members only to quick to lay whatever blame at Ian's doorstep, as if its a given. Again. Where do mf's get off, and to speak of such things in the absolute. I will always be reminded of that scene in Braveheart when Edward 1 is being met with advice from the twit friend of Edward's son, pretending to take his advice before sending him on a one way trip.

Yeah Tommie...me too...I've forgotten more about rock and roll, including Neil Young for example, than you can probably remember....assuming Tull forum participants are your mom and dad when it comes to rock and roll beyond Tull is ridiculous....I got yer 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and quite up to date this century as well, thank you...Tull's number one...always was, always will be....but there's 2 thru 2000 in my CD, record, cassette, eight track, Kindle and i-pod pile. So snap out of it or me and ray are coming to NYC to rub your face in our 7 inchers.

And what I am coming to realize even more clearly, the 50's take a back seat to no decade in rock and roll's history, and I am damn sure not just talking about bloody Elvis. But ever since 1975, cocaine, new wave, punk, Heart, Tommie and his album oriented rock buddies have got their teeth into it, there has not been a whole lot of "music" within that realm that matters much. As compared to what has occured in other musical fields. Quick Tommy, tell me every damn thing you know about Coleman Hawkins, or even T Bone Walker, a major influence on Hendrix' stageplay. And I will know if you are spitting out something copied from wikipedia as this is hardly unknown territory. And then run that list again of everything you consider so au courant that we are missing out on lacking your doubtless acumen. On the other hand I suppose we could use some sort of rude mascot around here, you can serve that purpose well, since it is a period of tull you know and hold dear, maybe even a "grand court jester." I mean the Leveller's sold a whole 2 million albums. Damned impressive. Can't hold a candle to Lady Gaga I suppose but since you are of a mindset, and from a time period, where album sales actually register with merit, by all mean drink yourself drunk at that trough. I will even take this one level further though I have zero to do with the maintenance of this board. I have a notion, and to counter a stated though not practiced policy at the other board of being open to all commentary, I would love to see this board take a different tack. Whittled down to its essence, is, you come in this house and jackass, you get one warning, and one warning ONLY. In the case of Tommie his warning would have been used up 4 or 5 years ago, during the big break up that started the other board, as the result of us having the audacity to not find funny, and only too clearly see its intended end in some lame sexual innuendo, i mean was it a willy warmer?, expected to amuse Anderson, drawn out over nine long days, with complaints about none of us finding something funny, that, in short, wasn't. Allegedly "everyone else" had found this funny, clearly something must be wrong with us. And then one of us, our best one, basically said get on with it. Out of sheer bitterness this other board used distinctly non Tull methodology to build up their viewership, over the top announcements on Facebook. Even in their prime sellout the MSG for a week days , Tull NEVER stooped to such behaviors. And I remember what happened on the original board. So I am totally in favor of a jackass being allowed to jackass one time only. I like my Tull club insular anyway, so deeply do I hold in contempt, frankly, a signifigant slice of the rude human race, the only living beings that are guilty, and guilty in full. And I have to make comment about this bs about the setlists. The setlists have actually, regardless of the commentary from some of the fans or Martin Barre, been their most varied over these past 25 years, for the simple fact that there often has been no new album to promote, coupled with the fear of playing any of the post 1991 albums in more than small part, Ian knowing of the impatient shifting from one buttock to another, or whatever he said in 1972, until they get to Aqualung or something that goes boom at the appointed classic rock hour. All those years between 72 and 79 there would be the new album, then the greatest hits. It wasn't until well into the eighties that I heard much from their first 3 albums, these recent decades there has been far more change in the setlists. But Tull or Ian are no longer so popular that they can get away without setting aside about 70 per cent of the show to "classic" Tull. Thank goodness for the most part, that is precisely what that music is. And Baker St Muse and swaths of the Passion Play or Back Door Angels IA might just be quite right in assessing, as they daddy, as being a touch overdone, and likely unfamiliar and not of quite the overall appeal that many in networld seem so damn certain of. Likely if they got what they wished they would then bitch about IA not singing it like he did 40 years ago. Ian is so spot on with marking, correctly, that this boorish assessment of his art, can be met with a stay the hell at home if you don't like it response. He knows who alot of his crowd is. And he is correct in disliking them. Believe me that ship will continue to sail without you. And I like what Martin is doing, but frankly, those set lists are not like, the last word. Now that setlist in 92 was just that. Just when was that that half those songs had ever been played. The man is from a completely different bearing than nearly all of his spoiled audience. I would happily join Ian in telling alot of them to go directly to hell. Or a Rush concert. Or go explore the "timeless wizardry" of Steve Howe. And do not return. MF's should have half the discipline, not to mention the humor and musicality and worldliness of that man. And I am the man who yawned in his face and told his face in 83 that if Tull were coming out now they would NOT get on the radio. So don't even dream of calling me a fanboy. I just know and respect a man when I see one. And one other message specifically for Tommie. Do you suppose you can be yourself, its not hard. Your use of street cred ready verbage is really terribly annoying, from a person who knows those streets only too well. Youse guys? I mean really youse guys? Last I knew, you are from NYC, or someplace of the northeast United States. Youse is distinctly Chicago, my city, and not part of our lexicon of which I am terribly proud. Generally from a very working class section of south side Chicago, generally known for their base racial intolerance. I know you want to be a badass Tommie, but try starting by being yourself...big guy. Much as I find that hard guy world distasteful, I do respect the real thing. I grew up right next door and near some of the most powerful and dangerous mobsters in the world, Big Tuna might ring a bell. Not to mention the thuggery of your average trading floor. But what I like even less is a pretender. Do spare me or keep it to your own imagination. Or maybe you were from Chicago all along. In which case I want to meet you immediately.

Well I don't think so'. very true if that came out of my mind. Not inclined to re read it just at the moment, but if that word was used and I do use it sparingly or when imitating Miles Davis, who managed to work it into nearly every paragraph, it was very definitely directed at that uh...gentleman. And aptly so.

Funny that you mention Miles. I was in Germany when he published his amazing and required reading autobiography...the review of the book in Germany's middle to high brow weekly newsmagazine, Der Spiegel had the unironic, seriously inquiring title: ' How many Parts of Speech is the word Mothxxxucker?' Miles often used MF as 3 or more categories in one sentence as in; The MF could MFing play his MFing horn like an real MF but his MFing agent tried to MF me out of the writing credits.

Lol Bernie. Not entirely true what that guy in the newspaper said however. Miles was economical with his mf's, but he did use it with great frequency. In the Quincy Troupe biography"Miles" it would not be overstating it to say it pops up maybe once a page, but rarely or never twice or more in a sentence, lol. I mean the man did have a vocabulary and would look you right in the eye, and claimed he could spot a racist right away, but he sure hired alot of white guys for his band, he just had an antenae for bs. Its comprised very like the recent Keith Richard biography, basically just Miles talking over his entire life up to nearly the end, I think that thing came out about 2 years before he died. And as funny as some of the bits, are in Keith's book, the one's in Miles are just a bit funnier, and his memory of everything right down to this flame he ran away from on his Mother's stove when he was 5 (mf'n flame) that inspired the rest of his life, and was why he never returned to playing the ballads and older music he loved best until the very end. His reverence and memory of all these guys he had played with or knew, (and that in itself being a virtual modern jazz history book beginning with Charlie Parker, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie ) particularly John Coltrane, gets me right in the heart, Miles actually an old softie. Plus finally as much as I love the Stones, they are not in my holy sextet, Miles Davis is. What it is!

Miles got an award during the first Bush administration and sat next to Barbara Bush in a limo...she turned to him and said.. I bet your 'Mammy' would be so proud of you'. He looked at her and said 'My mother was the first female dentist in Maryland and no one ever, ever called her 'Mammy' in her life'. He said he seriously considered allowing himself to be killed by the secret service while successfully choking her to death that moment. His book was amazing.....he was surprisingly into 'Prince' really dug the guy and was hoping to collaborate with him but ran out of time...I think they did one session that's been bootlegged.

Again Bernie, I have never heard that, and, frankly, would question its accuracy. Now it it is true that one of the "funny" events covered in that book, probably during Bush Sr's admin, concerned his wife, the actress Cicely Tyson, receiving a presidential commendation of some sort, and, during the dinner I believe, some lady, likely innocuously and probably a Republican, asked Miles something along the lines of, "and what do you do?" A regrettable inquiry at a Presidential dinner that released the lizard man and a heapin help of mf's, possible mention of having changed our national music 7 times, and a early departure. I am pretty sure he had not wanted to go either. May have been one of the instances when the police got called to the NYC brownstone later that night with Cicely trying to run away from him. Touchy guys, geniuses. Firstly, while Miles Davis' father was indeed a dentist in Alton Illinois, I am pretty sure, but not certain, that his Mom was just that...a Mom. I cannot recall where she is from, but Delaware seems unlikely. They lived on a farm. Miles used the barn or garage, not sure, to kick heroin in 1954, going in there for a week and not coming out til he was done. And with heroin he was. Additionally, whatever I think of their administration, the idea of Barbara Bush using a word like "Mammy" in say, 1988, seems to strain credibilty beyond the breaking point. And to my knowledge, though not certain, Miles Davis never received any Presidential commendations, doubtless during that administration they would not have been invited back, and he was dead by the next one. Pretty sure he never won a Grammy either. Might have slipped the presenter a lizard tongue if she was a hottie. Pretty sure he recorded at least one Prince song, though his output in his last ten years is of signifigantly less interest to me, of course with exceptions, big ones. I can certainly see his attraction to Prince, and the relation between a few of those guys who influenced Miles later on in his career, but way before Prince, namely Jimi, James Brown, and Sly Stone. He even forced me to see the beauty in songs like Human Nature by Michael Jackson and Time after Time by you know, that cute little zany thing. In fact his interpretation of those 2 might be my favorite things he did in his last ten years. That plus that show he did at Montreux about 2 months before he died I think, revisiting alot of his old music, (with the aid of Wallace Roney for parts Miles could no longer reach)I am telling you, that is hard for me to watch, knowing how deeply he loved that music but always managed to stay away from it after its time had passed.

Hope Ryan doesn't mind too much his thread being hijacked by Miles...bet he wouldn't. The one and only time i saw Miles, in a theater in the round joint in San Carlos...a 'burb by the airport, he was doing loud rock and roll with white guys who looked like Gov't mule or something...'Time after Time' was the boiling hi point that night.

Yeah. Firstly to Ryan if he is reading this, and he might be, sorry man, we'll get back on point, probably soon. At least 2 of the times I saw him in the 80's out of maybe 5, I won't quite say it sucked but I mostly was not pleased, and felt at the time pretty certain that while his career between 1949 and 1975 knew not but one innovation after another, that his 80's period would not be remembered that way, and I think history is agreeing with that. But one of those nights was the night I got to touch him, lol, moreso than shake hands. That was very much a development of his last 3 years,as he began to acknowledge his audience, we were seated right in front, and he offered his hand as a princess might, you grabbed the fingertips. Still. Fricking Miles Davis. He did have some fine players of course in those later bands, John Scofield among them, but I nearly always hate those gizmotron keyboards, especially after, specifically, Red Garland and Herbie Hancock. But I have heard the story of one of his old friends coming backstage during those later years and asking him why he was playing this stuff and Miles answer, in that voice of course was, "People want $h1t." And man I would say dead on target. I remember one of those disagreeable performances at the Chicago Jazz Fest maybe 87 or 8 the people all going nuts and mindlessly shouting Miles even though the music was not really happening to my ears.

Hello. My name is Ryan. Does anyone know the name of this lovely actress? www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News/Two-wheeled-bonanza-transforms-the-city-centre.htmPublished: 24/06/2009Two-wheeled bonanza transforms the city centre MORE than 70 mods rode on scooters through Cambridge to mark the opening night of rock opera Quadrophenia. But the writer of the show and Who guitarist Pete Townshend disappointed fans when he had to cancel his appearance at Cambridge Arts Theatre last night. However, he is set to watch the show on Thursday night. The disappointment did not quell the high-octane enthusiasm of mods young and old who gathered outside the theatre to meet the stars of the show, Ryan O'Donnell and Sydney Rae White. Sydney said: "It's a fantastic turnout - a lot more than we expected. It's close to the number we had in Bath. "I love the part. My parents were mods and I grew up knowing about it so I didn't have to do much research." Ryan said: "For me it's a dream role. I love playing it. And what a great turnout tonight - they look amazing." Roger Gascoigne, 61, was a mod in the 60s in Cambridge. He said: "Those were great days. Around the theatre here was where we hung out. But there was no trouble here with rockers or anything like that - we were all mates."

Geography Query? Is New Jersey near Italy ? It's all a blur, east of the Rocky Mountains, to me.

After attending last weekend at my umpteenth TaaB 2 in Switzerland, and in order to allow concerts in Turin and Verona in my Country, I have this hope: that is, that Ian has a role for Ryan in the next Tour, to promote the Album, and even in the next Album. I really appreciated Ryan. (As for the previous members of the Band, definitely).
