I thought retail was the enemy in rushing through the seasons and the year but here he is announcing the Xmas concerts! I don't understand how you retired people don't just plan your whole year around the Tull itinerary. All that pension money could be spent on various beautiful locations and you could meet up,say once a week for a catch up and a curry with the band. That's what the Monkey and the Rabbits going to do. On the Monkey's pension - I'm poor and probably will always be. All I can say is TULL Christmas would be the ultimate time to see them perform. If this was within my reach, it would be a sign from the Lord to pack my bags and stowaway on a ship to Birmingham Cathedral !!!

But it's great fun

themoscowtimes.com/events/3135Jethro Tull 50th AnniversaryFri. Apr. 27 Crocus City Hall 5:00 pm Jethro Tull are one of the biggest selling progressive rock artists and their immense and diverse catalogue of work encompasses folk, blues, classical and heavy rock. It was on the 2nd of February 1968 at the world-famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street that British rock band Jethro Tull first performed under that name. To celebrate this golden anniversary, Ian Anderson will present 50 years of Jethro Tull. The anniversary concert will feature a broad mix of material, some of it focussing on the earlier formative period through to the “heavy hitters” of the Tull catalogue from the albums This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Too Old To Rock And Roll: Too Young To Die, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, Crest Of A Knave and even a touch of TAAB2 from 2012.

Lawyers hammering out details of Tull concert attendance trust fund to be established with my pension money after kid taps it for college. Number of posts on this site, along with essay, required to access the money. Hint: Lawyers advised to focus on APP mentions in essay. In the meantime I will work harder and live meaner to insure maximum funds in the trust.

CANADA ROCKS WITH TULL !!! JULY 5 9:20 pm LOTO-QUÉBEC STAGE LINK With over thirty albums and sixty million copies sold around the world, this British band has become a true jewel of progressive rock, like Genesis and Yes. In 2018, Jethro Tull celebrates their 50th birthday by reviving some of their greatest hits, such as Aqualung, Locomotive Breath and Bungle in the Jungle. Born of folk, classical influences and British blues, the band, led by flutist and singer Ian Anderson, will undoubtedly be a hit with their many fans in Québec City.

www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/jethro-tull-lead-way-weeks-14464631Jethro Tull lead the way in this week's round-up of North East roots music gigsJethro Tull are one of Britain's best selling bands ever and the current line-up is gearing up for a show at Newcastle City Hall By Alan Nichol 30 MAR 2018 One of the biggest-selling British acts of all time Jethro Tull, with sales in the region of 60million records, arrives in the city next week as part of their 50th anniversary tour. Jethro Tull play at a venue which has hosted them many times in the past, Newcastle City Hall, next Thursday night. Fronted by the instantly recognisable Ian Anderson, the band has undergone numerous stylistic and personnel changes in that long and garlanded history. As a result, the problem will be what to leave out when they choose their set-list for the show. Fife-born singer/flautist/guitarist/writer Anderson had been playing in blues-inclined bands like The Blades while still at school in and around his hometown of Blackpool (the family moved there when he was a child). He had decided against playing guitar on stage because the competition at the time was pretty serious with the likes of Clapton, Beck, Green, Page etc . Both Mick Taylor (later of the Rolling Stones) and Tony Iommi (later of Black Sabbath) were auditioned for the lead-guitar role in the band but the former opted to stay with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and the latter stayed with his band, Earth, which morphed into Sabbath. Instead Anderson settled on the flute, an instrument which would play an indispensible, perhaps unique, part in the band’s history. Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull (Image: Publicity picture)He also decided on the name Jethro Tull – adopting the moniker of the pioneering English agriculturalist – in time for the debut album release, This Was, for Island Records in 1968. Prior to that release, the band had put out the debut single, Sunshine Day, for MGM but somehow a printing error at the record plant saw the name “Jethro Toe” appear on the record-label (making the obscure single instantly collectible). Fortunately, neither the follow-up album, Stand Up, which topped the UK album chart nor the subsequent hit singles A Song For Jeffrey, Love Story and Living In The Past had to suffer any such print problems. The band went on to tour internationally and sell millions of albums – Aqualung alone sold in excess of 7 million – to establish a worldwide musical brand which, rather like the Rolling Stones, shows little sign of diminishing. Having started in the 60s “blues-boom” period the band went through a range of styles from the rock concept stylings of Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and Passion Play to the early 70s then hip “progressive” period and on to the more rustic folky sounds of Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses at the end of that decade. Ultimately, Jethro Tull sound like Jethro Tull no matter who features in the line-up. The roster of ex-musicians and guest musicians runs to around three dozen, a figure which is comfortably eclipsed by the number of albums (including compilations/enhanced re-issues) that the band has released. The current five-man line-up is Ian Anderson (vocals,flute, acoustic guitar), John O’Hara (keyboards, accordion, vocals), David Goodier (bass), Florian Opahie (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Hammond (drums). Despite fronting the band, Anderson has achieved many things away from music – in farming, photography, cooking, charity work and ecology – and he received an MBE in 2008. However, his five-decade-long association with Jethro Tull eclipses them all.

Credit card at hand, Seattle tickets on sale in 13 minutes. This will make three on upcoming tour...last two tours I only saw two concert each ( Opera and Home E.) and my three TAAB dips were spread over close to two years...so three in 8 days will be a return to old fashioned TULL SEASON days...like when I saw 5 Crests shows in 10 days...or 3 SFTW in a single week.

Good news: Our favorites still very popular in Seattle. I got mediocre seats as the good ones sold out in seconds. I don't care. Anywhere in the venue is fine.

Thanks Bunkerfan. Great review and photos and I am pleased you added the set list. I had intended to make a note of it but forgot (as usual). I thought the show was excellent, as you did, and I am still amazed at Ian Andersons energy - makes me tired just watching him! The stage projection really added to the performance too.
One of the criticisms over the years has been Ian Anderson's vocal problems. I have to admit that I don't like to hear him struggle with some songs. I thought his voice was good last night though it was better on the quieter songs. David Goodier sounds like he has been practising too and both he and John O'Hara helped out.
The audience turnout and support (full house of 2100) was great too. It makes a big difference to have the venues filled and it seemed like the crowd all went away happy. Like you I would liked to seen a few more shows..

I thought they really sang well together especially on 'Songs From The Wood'.

One thing that seemed odd last night was that on some songs the bands used the lyrics from the "Rock Opera" tour and not the original LP lyrics. So "Aqualung & Heavy Horses" had different lyrics in some verses to the lyrics we fans have embedded in our brains from the seventies. The reason that this was probably done was that the screen presentations had Ryan O'Donnell and Unnur Birna as "virtual" guests from the "Rock Opera" tour and understandably they used the same video for this tour.

That may be in the case of Aqualung, but what about HH? I seem to recall Unnur's bit is just the plain old lyrics, no changes there. Ian's new lyrics for the verses just don't seem to flow as well as the original ones. Something about the phrasing, I think. They served their purpose in the context of Rock Opera but felt odd this time around.

Think you are right about HH - it was Ian Anderson's lyrics and not Unnurs that were different. It may have just been too difficult for IA to go back to the original lyrics again?

I think the rehearsals and performances have become permanent since 2015 and The Rock Opera. Using the virtual guests which also include John and David were very special. To me it's part of the overall theme. 50 Years of TULL
