Anxious to see if Ian's voice improves after the break. It was sounding pretty strained in his last dates.
This happens especially on WORLD TOURS...
It takes a lot of concentration just to remember the lyrics as well.
Since the COVID cancellations Ian developed a plan which included more instrumental tunes.
At 76 he still has the creativity and imagination to ROCK !!!! Image by Char Halsey |

Anxious to see if Ian's voice improves after the break. It was sounding pretty strained in his last dates. As I've said before at the 18 December 23 Xmas concert in York Ian sounded good when he sang A Christmas Song, I wish I'd took video of it. I did manage to video all of Another Christmas Song, Mine Is The Mountain, and video most of Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, he did show some wear vocally but nothing beyond his years, the same as McCartney and others. I took video of all of The Witch's Promise (great vocal by Marc Almond) and all of Ring Out, Solstice Bells (sung by the band). But as others have said it sounds much better in concert than it does on a phone video. I think in the future Ian should rely more on shared vocal duties with the band, let them take some of the strain. |

THE ARDENT FAN: LUCAS HANNON  LINK
The Seven Decades Tour: Jethro Tull Concert Review Date of Concert: August 20, 2023
Location of Concert: The Rose Music Center at The Heights in Huber Heights, OH
I’ve seen many concerts (I don’t know how many) in the last 25 years.
I’ve seen most of my favorites. However, there are still a few I have not seen.
And Sunday night of August 20, 2023, this was another first for me.
 I finally saw Jethro Tull.
Ian Anderson (Lead singer/Flute player/main songwriter/leader)
is still putting out new albums (RokFlote came out earlier this year and
I must say I really like it.), and his band are just so great.
Some don’t like the band anymore because Ian’s vocal range is not what it used to be.
But I still think he sounds good and he’s found a range he’s comfortable with.
So I don’t have a problem with it. He’s still giving it his all and seems to be having fun.
He’s a great performer.
Lots of fun visuals, some good stories (Ian mentioned The Eagles’ song Hotel California
as having some of the same chord changes in his song We Used To Know he wrote
earlier than they did their song. It was all in good fun, but I saw what he meant when
I heard the solo. Definitely similar. Also, during We Used To Know,
the font of the song title on the screen video looked like the Hotel California
font. Pretty funny.), and basically, everything I love about music and concerts in general.
He and the band delivered.
If you’re a fan, I recommend going to the show.
No openers, and two sets.
Not that I meant to keep track but Set 1 started at 7:30 PM and ended at 8:20 PM.
They had a 20 minute intermission and then came back on from 8:40 PM to 9:34 PM.
Very fun night. Keep on rocking Ian and the guys in Jethro Tull !!!Jethro Tull Band Members:
Ian Anderson (Lead Vocals/Flute)-He also plays Guitar, Bouzouki,
Mandolin, Harmonica, and writes most of the songs.
