Sirigos June 16, 2019 Ian Anderson was a ball of fire and his colleagues were right there with him in intensity the entire night. (Photo by Constantine S. Sirigos)ATHENS – A full moon, a packed Theater of Herodus Atticus, a light breeze, good friends, and an amazing concert. That counts as a perfect night in anyone’s book, and when it’s wrapped in an elaborate musical bow of 50 years of hits by Jethro Tull, it was an evening no one wanted to end and everyone enjoyed. Ian Anderson, the legendary band’s founder, raced back and forth across the stage on June 14, enchanting with his magical traverse flute and stories of a musical lifetime presented with a Puckish intensity – why not, Puck, Oberon and Titania of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream fame cavort in the nearby forests of Athens – and Dionysian frenzy – of course: the Theater of Dionysus was just down the block. The superb lighting added dashes and splashes of color to the ancient Greco-Roman stones – on which were projected greetings and tributes by past band members and other rock star personal friends of Anderson – the show was part of the great Progressive/Classical Rock band’s 50th anniversary tour. The Greek part of the audience greeted New Democracy party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his wife Mareva with tumultuous applause. (Photo by Constantine S. Sirigos)The 5000 fans, Greeks and non-Greeks, were thrilled with the show – but there was one burst of applause dedicated to a non-musician: Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the leader of the main opposition party that is leading in polls ahead of crucial July 7 national elections made time during his exhausting campaign to take in the performance with his wife Mareva – but the rest of the evening’s highlights were all musical. The genius of Anderson and his colleagues and the cause of their 5 decades-long (and counting) run is the genre-bending and genre leaping creativity that mirrors his dancing and prancing onstage. Jethro Tull blends into rock not just blues and folk music, along with jolts of jazz, but classical music too – the classic they put in to their rock comes direct from the likes of J.S. Bach and goes as far back as songs composed by King Henry VIII himself. Surely the night did not end at 11:30 for the guests or the performers – a lovely Athenian night beckoned with hundreds of venues beneath a million stars. Ian Anderson was a ball of fire and his colleagues were right there with him in intensity the entire night. (Photo by Constantine S. Sirigos)

Athens Overnight By Helen Grubner LINK My eagerly awaited trip to Athens to see Jethro Tull play at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on their 50th Anniversary Tour had finally arrived. Perfect occasion I thought to christen the dress I bought 3 years ago… snapped myself in the mirror before setting off.
What a pleasant experience it was to travel on the ferry unencumbered by luggage. As we docked in Piraeus on time at 7.45pm, I made a quick change of plan to take a taxi to the Theatre rather than the Metro… E20 as opposed to E1.40 and a walk from Monasteraki around the Acropolis, however, more or less stress free. You see, Antonis my driver expressed concern for my safety alone in Athens at night. He gave me his card and said I could call him anytime up until 2.30am and he would pick me up from wherever and take me back to Piraeus for free. His intentions may well have been sound but I did wonder what he thought we would do until my ferry at 7.15am. Needless to say I passed up on the offer but the taxi ride to the Theatre did enable me to procure a much better seat as it was General Admission in the upper section I had booked. 30 minutes from arriving in Piraeus I was seated at the Herodion as Greeks like to call it and waiting.
As most of you will know, Jethro Tull or more to the point, Ian Anderson is my favourite artist of all time. He can certainly play the flute and acoustic guitar as well as he has ever done and his antics on stage are admirable for a man of his years. However, as a vocalist he is struggling now and I knew that would be the case but personally it doesn’t really bother me. Musically I preferred the Auckland concert 2 years ago… the repertoire in Athens was more geared to celebrating the 50 years and we didn’t get to hear many of their more well known songs. But what they did play included Heavy Horses, Aqualung, Too Old to Rock and Roll Too Young to Die and as in Auckland, Locomotive Breath as an encore. But the atmosphere and light show at the Herodion was spectacular! So pleased that I went, would not have wanted to miss out on such a wonderful opportunity.
The next question on my mind was what to do in Athens by night with 8 hours to kill. Left the venue and strolled with the crowd, past the Acropolis Museum all alight and with the Moon and Jupiter up above. Sat in the Plaka to drink a couple of ouzo until that establishment closed around 2.15am then walked to Monasteraki, intending to find a Bar in the Psyri/Gazi neighborhood where I could pass some more time. I will be honest and say that I did feel vulnerable out on the street alone but then as I was videotaping some African musos in Monasteraki Square, a group of young people, who also got filmed in the video, invited me to join them to go to a Bar called “Boiler” so I went along. As one reviewer describes it “the place for dancing, drinking and meeting the party people of Athens… the hip tourists, the queers, the punks, the ravers, everyone with an open heart and mind”.
In the group there were 3 guys, including Jack from Cape Cod… a real character whose generosity knew no bounds and 3 girls aged around 22 from Montreal. In particular, Kylee a ceramic artist and I seemed to click and as she expressed an interest in perhaps one day trying her hand at glasswork, I suggested she may like to come to Whanganui for that and potentially could board with me.
It was such a fun filled night but some time after 5.00am as I made my way to the Metro station and on to Piraeus and my ferry, I realized how completely exhausted I felt. Asking myself why I had been crazy enough to think I could stay up all night out on the town without a price to pay?
Was it worth it for the memories? Yes, without a doubt!

www.palmspringslife.com/events/ian-anderson-presents-jethro-tulls-50th-anniversary-tour-at-fantasy-springs-resort-casino/“Ian Anderson Presents Jethro Tull’s 50th Anniversary Tour” at Fantasy Springs Resort CasinoIan Anderson is known throughout the world of rock music as the flute and voice behind the legendary band Jethro Tull, and he’s celebrating his 50th year as an international recording and performing musician with a tour stop at The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, July 5, 2019. It was on the 2nd of February 1968 at the world-famous Marquee Club in London that Jethro Tull first performed under that name. The group would go on to become one of the most successful and enduring bands of their era, selling over 60 million albums worldwide and entering the cultural collective consciousness along the way, playing their first concerts in North America in November and December 1969. Founder, frontman and flautist Ian Anderson is rightly credited with introducing the flute to rock as a front line instrument. Jethro Tull is one of the biggest selling Progressive Rock artists of all time, and the group’s immense and diverse catalogue of work encompasses folk, blues, classical and heavy rock. The anniversary concerts will feature a broad mix of material, some of it focusing 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. Anderson says, “We continue to present the 50th Anniversary concerts in many countries and regions not visited in 2018, and also many Tull repertoire shows in Europe. In the USA, many would argue, 2019 is really the 50th Anniversary for US fans since we first visited in early 1969.” The undisputed king of rock and roll flute, Ian Anderson looks forward to bringing Jethro Tull’s 50th Anniversary Tour to Fantasy Springs in July. Tickets for the 8pm Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull performance on Friday, July 5, 2019 go on sale Friday, December 14th for $129, $99, $79 and $59 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone (800) 827-2946 or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.

www.krone.at/1944046Image: David Bitzan, Travis Latam, krone.at graphics25.06.2019 07:00 50-year anniversaryIan Anderson comes to us with Jethro TullFor more than 50 years, Ian Anderson has been making off-standard rock sounds with his "baby" Jethro Tull. He not only made the flute cool, but built a million-dollar career on it. At this year's "Lovely Days" in Eisenstadt, Anderson will once again see us. In the interview, he told us in advance, why there is soon new studio material, why the tax issue affects him so much and why his oldest memory of Austria is a bad one. 50 years of the flute. Even after this long period, Jethro Tull mastermind Ian Anderson is still pretty much alone when it comes to sustainable success with said instrument. Even though he tours under the jubilee banner, it's actually been 52 years since the band first saw the light of day in Blackpool, and with albums like "Aqualung", "Thick As A Brick" and "A Passion Play" was able to build a legendary status in the 1970s that Anderson still lives on today. Before he plays in a few days at the "Lovely Days" in Eisenstadt, he remembers in conversation with the "crown" but little pleasing to his first memory in Austria. "I can not remember exactly the circumstances, but I was interviewed by a fairly leftist journalist. At that time I was surprised that one politicized a rock concert so quickly and that was remembered to this day. But at some point I got used to the fact that music and politics coexist in public space. " Tick with the tax Anderson has long had the reputation of the grumpy uncle with clear views on various topics. Over the years, he has made himself a mouthpiece for the British people and willingly answers questions on almost all issues that are a public issue. The threat of Brexit with its direct effects is no cause for sleepless nights for Anderson. "Nobody knows what will happen. For me, it is important that athletes and musicians who spend most of the year abroad pay their taxes at home. I've always been annoyed when wealthy artists move abroad to save their money. Where would they be without their homeland? They set up offshore companies or create accounts on abstruse islands. I have always paid my taxes at home and as a European citizen I am responsible for a fair social system. Of course, then about half of my income is gone, but if you earn as much as I do, that's not a bad deal anyway. " As professional as Anderson is as a musician, it is difficult for others to keep up with him. The countless line-up changes over the past 50 years have been legendary, with only guitarist Martin Barre having survived for many decades, and now cooking his own soup for more than a decade. Anderson, a strict proponent of punctuality and perfectionism, challenges his musicians as much as he does himself, which for most is not easy to do in the long run. "I'm generally proud to be on stage with 71 and have a career. If I were a tennis player or a Formula 1 driver, this career would probably be over at 35, as a pilot at 65 and as an astronaut at around 50. I talked to people from these professional worlds and they all told me how frustrated they were Has, when they were forced to give up their jobs. There is no natural expiration date in the art world. As long as the mental faculties and the voice do not let up, we can not stop. " Not much difference Even though fans crave the big classics, Anderson's motivation in his 70s is unstoppable. Recently rumors circulated about a solo record and a new Jethro Tull work. But are there so many differences between these two musical worlds? "Honestly, not really," explains the frontman, "if I want to make music that is a bit more personal and introverted, then my name is usually on top of that. The co-musicians are usually the same as in the band. On 'Aqualung' were also many songs, where the former band members are not heard, the same was in 1975 at 'Ministrel In The Gallery'. But apart from the work process and the divergences of content, there are actually not too many differences. " The many live shows and tours that Anderson is still in the set age, of course, move the creative moments, but the next album - whether solo or not - should be at least until autumn 2020 to buy. "It's not just about the songwriting, but also about the manufacture, the marketing and the whole promotion. My son-in-law is in the film business and has been waiting for the script for a sequel to 'The Walking Dead' for ages. In the world of art we always have to think ahead and calculate differently. Sometimes, spontaneously and unexpectedly, things come to you that you discussed years ago. You have to be used to the unrest, but that's the way the business goes. " Fun with money A fresh career in the music business would not dare the Briton after the experience of recent years. "The conditions are as different as in 1969. The chance to somehow live on the music today, I would quantify with a maximum of 1 to 5000 - then it was ten times easier. There is rarely anything original and exciting, because music is increasingly repeating itself. At the gas station or checkout, more money is guaranteed to come in, but of course I know there is no one who has a real passion for it. My parents also advised me against anything that even made me angry and defiant. But it also helped me to push and convince them of the opposite. My principle tip: Let the kids do what they like and do not try to become their manager. This often went down in the history of music - think of Michael Jackson! He took all the fun because it was all about the money. That was never the case with me. " Jethro Tull by Ian Anderson will be playing at the "Lovely Days" in Eisenstadt on June 29th. Maps for the big highlight, which also includes Toto and Nazareth on board, are available at www.ticketkrone.at .
