ultimateclassicrock.com/ian-anderson-first-met-robert-plant/ Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson recalled how he met future Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant – and how Anderson’s band “got out pretty quickly” after Plant took a guest turn onstage.The incident took place sometime in the mid ‘60s in London, before either artist had reached the pinnacle of success. “I’ve never been a strong singer,” said Anderson, who was complimented for retaining the vocal abilities of “a man decades younger” during a recent interview with Prog magazine. “Comparing me to, say, Robert Plant is absurd – he has a God-given talent, which I recognized, fearfully, the first time I ever met him, when [British blues icon] Alexis Korner brought him into a club we were in." Anderson said they were playing in a "dreary, $h1tty club in town and it was awful" when Korner "came in with this lean youth and said, ‘All right if my boy stands in and does a number? He sings and plays harmonica.’ And I was like, ‘Well, that’s what I do, but sure, I’ll just sit this one out and he can have a go.’” Anderson recalled that his reaction was immediate. “You knew instantly that he had something special about him," he said of Plant. "And he was a good harmonica player too. I sat there feeling this growing dread. … We got out of there pretty quickly, as I recall. Not too much looking back that night.” Jethro Tull are marking their 50th anniversary with a tour that launches in the U.K. on Apr. 3 before reaching the U.S. on May 30. Anderson started work on a new album last year, although he remains unsure whether it will be released under his name or the band moniker. Plant recently said that Led Zeppelin were planning to discuss ways of celebrating their own 50th anniversary this year.

teamrock.com/news/2018-03-01/new-issue-of-prog-on-sale-today-16New Issue Of Prog On Sale TodayNews / 21 minutes ago / by Hannah May Kilroy  Prog 85 features Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Tony Banks, Roxy Music, Kino and more...
The new issue of Prog is on sale today. In it we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jethro Tull: Prog speaks to Ian Anderson to discuss the band's impressive and enduring career, and also to look behind the making of the band's Heavy Horses album as it turns 40 this year. Anderson also reviews every single studio album of Jethro Tull's especially for Prog. Plus he allows us to dip into his archives to compile a special and rarely seen Tull scrapbook for your enjoyment.
 And for those, me included, who like the minutiae [yep, I had to google the spelling] of all things Tull and Tull related, the cover CD has the lower half of the "hand on zip" image as well as the title "Cap In Hand".  |

Every time I see TULL LIVE, it always is a learning experience. Songs that people expect are just 'Hits'.
I really prefer the unexpected tunes in general although I do enjoy everything...

Great find Jim - a very informative and historic interview. Interesting how the recording equipment has changed - the above has the analogue equipment and now it's all laptops and digital hard disks. Thanks for posting  |

Very interesting interview. Ian belabors a few points but nevertheless always exposes big brains and wide perspective.

Ian says "I’m more of a cat person. I haven’t written any songs about dogs that I can recall, but two or three about cats." His memory is failing! Dogs in the Midwinter??? Out of the Noise??? |

Thanks Maddog...I would estimate that we just cost my employer about $23.00 on the clock time for me to read the interview. Always a pleasure doing business. Before they took away our you tube access at work, Remy probably cost them hundreds of $.

B When I win the lottery or even get my pension ( pension not equivalent in monetary terms with small lottery win) you won't have to work. We can listen to Tull in shifts. In between household tasks, bus trips to castles and seaside resorts where it always rains and you eat ice cream cones. |
