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. 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.. CDC changing testing in December because of all of the false positives. Test is a total scam that cannot even detect Covid.

Thanks . Excellent gig and the audience were rocking , well in the second half anyway ! Joe is a stunning player and added some useful vocals in a number of songs, including Black Sunday which was really good! . Ian's vocals where stronger than I've heard him for a number of years. I guess the rest was good for him and maybe he had sometime to work on breathing techniques. I went away feeling I needed more as I always do. Having said that the whole concert was a bit short and could have done with at least two more tracks. I guess at 74 Ian has to cut the shows down a bit which is perfectly understandable.

LINK Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull encourages coronavirus vaccination Prague - British composer and musician Ian Anderson, who will perform with his band Jethro Tull at three concerts in the Czech Republic at the end of October, encourages fans to get vaccinated against coronavirus. He is aware that the rules for attending concerts, where in most countries people have to prove themselves with a test or confirmation of vaccination or illness, are a source of disappointment for some people interested in the concert. "Nobody likes it, but the rules must be followed," he said in an interview with ČTK. "Some people are upset, they don't like it when someone tells them what to do. But they were just as upset when the smoking ban came, a few years earlier, because of the compulsory seat belts or security measures at airports," Anderson said.
Seventy-four-year-old Anderson, one of the first to use the flute in rock music, will be a guest on Honza Dědek's 7-fall TV show, which Prima airs on October 12. "We will not talk too much about coronavirus, it is a serious topic. I hope that we will mainly talk about music that gives people hope and is something they can turn to in these difficult times," he said.
Jethro Tull will perform during a tour called The Prog Years on October 26 in Gong, Ostrava, a day later in the Vodova Municipal Hall in Brno and on October 28 in the Prague Congress Center. The program offers their famous songs such as Thick as a Brick, Living in the Past, Aqualung or Locomotive Breath. "There are songs that the audience loves and I wouldn't forgive me for them not to be performed at the concert. I would like to play one or two songs from each of our albums, but I can't include them all in the program," said Anderson.
At the October performances in the Czech Republic, the band will also present a new song The Zealot Gene from the upcoming new album. "The album won't be released until February next year, even though we finished it three months ago. The reason is waiting for its vinyl version, which a lot of fans want, but there are few companies that make vinyl records and the dates have to be six to nine. "And we want to list all forms of recording, vinyl, CD, stream and DVD at the same time," said Anderson.
During the pandemic, a member of the Order of the British Empire, Anderson, began putting together an official book of his lyrics. It also includes 30 photographs taken by Anderson to illustrate certain songs, specially written introductions to each album, and scans of original, handwritten lyrics. "The book is over 280 pages long and contains more than 250 songs. It's a limited edition called Silent Singing. I don't read the lyrics as poetry, but I sing them to myself as I read them," Anderson explained.
Jethro Tull originally played blues rock. Over the years, the blues elements in the music have receded into the background. Rolling Stone magazine called Jethro Tull "one of the most commercially successful and progressive rock bands of all time." During their career, they have sold over 60 million albums and won a Grammy Award in the Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance category for their recording of Crest of a Knave from 1987. The compositions also include elements of British Isles folk music and Renaissance music. As a soloist, Anderson released seven records, the last entitled Homo Erraticus in 2014.

Every performance means so much ... TULL is coming soon LINK 26.10.2021 from 20:00 - Ostrava, Gong Multifunctional Hall 27.10.2021 from 20:00 - Brno, Městská hala VODOVA 28.10.2021 from 20:00 - Prague, Congress Center Prague, Congress Hall Tickets remain valid, no need to exchange. Jethro Tull was first named a "progressive rock band" in 1969.
Through the release of concept albums in the early 1970s, Jethro Tull approached so-called "progressive folk". Since then, the eclectic influences of many musical genres have been evident in Jethro Tull's music. Even five decades after the progressive era, Ian Anderson's songs and melodies refer to The Prog Years tradition.

Jethro Tull does not play the song Budapest in Budapest LINK On November 12, one of the most important teams of progressive rock will give a concert in Hungary again. “The repertoire for The Prog Years tour is practically spanning the band’s entire career, and we’ll be playing from our very first 1968 album, This Was, as well as our new album, The Zealot Gene, coming out next year,” the singer told MTI .
The title of the tour is the collective concept of "progressive years", which includes their blues, folk, classical rock, acoustic or orchestral soundtrack. "We're going to play a lot of things we haven't played live in a long time, and of course there are mandatory songs, just as a Deep Purple concert is unimaginable without Smoke on the Water."
Jethro Tull had to take a one-and-a-half-year concert break due to the pandemic, and the Prog Years tour resumed in Germany in August this year. The Jethro Tull catalog is reportedly the most played on the albums Stand Up (1969), Benefit (1970), Aqualung (1971), Thick As A Brick (1972) and Passion Play (1973), but 2012 Some songs from Thick As A Brick 2 may also be heard. Perhaps the band’s most successful album is Aqualung, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide this year and is 50 years old. Made as a concept album, Aqualung focuses on the relationship between religion and God.
"Aqualung is very important to me. The music balances between rock and acoustic sound, here I really showed myself as a singer-songwriter. I only recorded the songs in the studio, the others later played their part in it. It still plays fresh today when it comes to my own entertainment I buy a guitar, I usually play something like this, like Aqualung or Locomotive Breath, ” Ian Anderson said.
As for the new Jethro Tull album, The Zealot Gene, which will be released in 2022, Ian Anderson recalled that he recorded his first ideas for a new material back in 2016, seven years later, and four of them were completely recorded. completed in 2018. In the following period, however, they toured continuously, and in early 2020, the coronavirus epidemic struck. Five more songs were quarantined, and Anderson finalized the material using played music files from others.
The first concert of Jethro Tull in Hungary took place before the regime changes in Eastern Europe in 1986, and soon after they were performed in Czechoslovakia at that time.
"We still have a big fan base in the area today, and it was built during the Soviet era, when Western rock music was a symbol of freedom, a symbol of hope for those who live here. It was Jethro's Tull record. "
The song entitled Budapest, which was written the day after their first concert in Hungary, is still played live today, but it is not included in the repertoire of the current tour, because no video material has been added to it, which will be projected to the songs at the concerts. "I really like this song, but it's eleven minutes long, which wasn't good for compiling the tracklist."
Jethro Tull started touring again in 2017 after a five-year hiatus, with Martin Barre, also a founding member, no longer in the new line-up. In addition to Anderson, the band has been playing bassist David Goodier and keyboardist John O'Hara for a decade and a half, followed by guitarist Joe Parrish and drummer Scott Hammond.

Something I don't quite understand. Ian dropped the name Jethro Tull because he said he was done with it. So he went with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Then he switched back to Jethro Tull again. What was his point?

What was his point? Because the Ian Anderson name didn't sell. Over the years as we know ,many people thought Ians name WAS Jethro Tull anyway. If his name alone was better known we wouldn't get the "Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull" bit, because everyone would know about the Tull connection already I can understand how IA would want to drop the Tull name , but still needed to refer to it. It all became very awkward didn't it? I think its also to do with the new record company deal for the last two albums. They knew the Jethro Tull name would sell better, and they could make the big announcement "First Jethro Tull album for 18 years" (or whatever it was)

We had "No Tull without Martin", which became "Time to go out under my own name, I write the songs etc etc" , "Doesn't matter if it says Ian Anderson or Jethro Tull on the tin, the content is the same ", to "Its the body of music that is Jethro Tull, not the line up" , then , "most of these guys have played with me for ten years, time to call them Tull" . Of course ,its his music, he can do as he likes. Getting too old myself to really care now

Martin Barre and his current band are impeccable, brilliant and worth every penny spent on tickets and time spent on travel. His contribution to the Tull universe before and since 2012 split is second only to Ian. But that does not change the basic fact that Ian Anderson and even the local janitors on stage are and will always be Jethro Tull.

Martin Barre and his current band are impeccable, brilliant and worth every penny spent on tickets and time spent on travel. His contribution to the Tull universe before and since 2012 split is second only to Ian. But that does not change the basic fact that Ian Anderson and even the local janitors on stage are and will always be Jethro Tull. You know I for one question Barre’s overall, contribution to the Tull universe. I would say way over rated on this board. Let’s remember that Steve Howe, an infinitely better guitarist than Barre, past on an opportunity to play with Tull: "And I had a conversation with somebody, and then it went very bad that they said, 'We don't want your songs. We want a guitarist, but we don't want your songs.' www.ultimate- guitar.com/news/general_music_news/steve_howe_says_he_refused_to_join_jethro_tull_after_very_bad_audition_speaks_on_why_he_quit_yes.html Clear from the start that he was to be a brick layer, not architect, that job was taken. Sure, he had skill, a willingness to learn, but just compare his solo on the Tanglewood video, with his peers at the time, 1970. David Gilmur, Frank Zappa, the aforementioned Steve Howe, Jeff Beck, Santana, I’ll stop here. Even in 72, during TAAB, his best work was Anderson’s, his solo was the same twang over and over, little better than Tanglewood. Matin was good, but it took him a long time to find his sound. I would argue by the time he had, John Even was much more critical to the success of Aqualung and TAAB than Barre. Again, he contributed, but the sound, the Tull sound by that time was much more Anderson, Even and Barlow. Ever since the keyboard and player were more central to Anderson/Tull sound than the guitar. I saw Barre when he first rolled through Toronto at Hugh’s, and last year with his 50th Aqualung tour, where they trudged out old uncle Clive to play back tracks. It was alright, it was nostalgic, but “impeccable, brilliant and worth every penny spent on tickets”. Not sure, paid $35 the first time, $45 the second time, (both Canadian), I think I will get a better return on my money in NY this coming November. Let’s not confuse nostalgia with fact. OK, bring it on.

My next Barre gig will be paid in Mexican Pesos so between that, Canadian/American, dollars and British pounds, Martin's worth will take some high math to discuss. I agree that he is pretty customized for Tull more than the greatest guitarist ever and both Florian and Joe proved him NOT irreplaceable. Crisp is a factor in Martin's tours too....and the good material.
