Here's a pretty recent interview with Ian from something called "Living Legends." Unfortunately no talk about anything new on the CD front. But the 1st part is here and you can get the rest while you're there. Have fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOdHx4h67nE&feature=related

After seeing the interviews from Living Legends, I came across an interview with Ian from 1987 in Central Park. That was fantastic. He was actually mingling with all kinds of people, young and old. I enjoyed it. You Tube has some terrific songs made into videos and I keep finding different ones to spin me back down the years... Regards, Silken...

I think he was guesting as an MTV V-jay. Cheers.

Thanks Neil enjoyed that! The venue doesn't look as intimate as Glasgow mind I really was impressed with the Pavilion more than I thought I would be. Loved my seat. Hope they play there again.

Great clip??? Sorry, but that sucked. Now I'm sorry I spent $80.00 for a ticket this summer. Two beautiful songs, both with great lyrics, just absolutely butchered. How is it that he sings exactly 0 lines from Sossity and 1 line from Reasons for Waiting, substituting his flute for 98 % of the vocals, and expects anyone to want to listen to that? I am not interested in hearing the flute replace the vocal line. I want to hear the words and the way Ian used to sing them. If he can't sing anymore he should not be touring with Tull. Also, this medley is not even new. It was played during the ALLM tour. Right now I would much rather see a great Tull tribute band, like War Child or Dayglo Pirates, than Tull themselves. At least those guys can sing. And they play Tull the way Tull was meant to be played. Loud and angry. Not the muzak that a Tull live performance has become. Jeff

Jeff I remain grateful there is a Tull to speak of in 2008 at all though I am not surprised. That he can no longer recreate a song of 38 YEARS AGO and must reinvent past glories, albeit not to a sizable amount of the audiences liking is in some ways regrettable. If this is as big a problem as you intimate I would recommend pursuing whatever other musical avenues that are to your liking, Ian Anderson has always been answerable only to himself. Likewise I am familiar with the conditions Glenn Cornick left the band, and to my understanding, it does sound a cowardly dismissal. Nevertheless I stand by Ian Anderson, surely were it not for him, no one would know Glenn Cornicks name, sorry, its the hard truth. As I understand it Glenn's contributions to the original Tull were more than considerable but he was given to behaviors such as I, and these were not permissable at the time to the one person who can rightfully have been called a genius in their ranks. Clearly in more recent years this has been eased by witness of everybody's pal, Dave Pegg. I for one will not be damning Ian Anderson, and in no wise will be opting for Tull imitators, impressive as that Paul guy indeed was, for instance, I will not be hunting down their website late into the evening to offer my opinion of their latest imitation. 2008, Jethro Tull still exists, if you don't like it, it is more than easy to stay at home, for me, I call it a miracle extending beyond reason, and remain grateful and humbled. And the recreation of the original This Was Dharma, is more than a happy moment for this old Tullie, as was Beggars Farm back in 92. And One For John Gee? These are indeed happy moments.

I was s*** scared seeing Tull after many many years. 2. I actually cried when I read the set-list - nostalgia etc 3. I have a myspace which dwells mainly on the Tull of early days. 4. I have chewed the fat for the last 9 months with Tull fans on various boards and heard some of the points raised here. If anyone was going to say 'What the flip's going on here??' on hearing Tull again, I thought it was bound to be me! But if I, personally speaking, had not come back to Tull (my mistake not the band's doing!) and not gone to see them live I would have missed out on a truly great experience - 40 years on. I don't expect Tull to sound/look the same as they did 40 years ago. Ian probably looked down at me and thought the same thing!! Utube doesn't do the sound any favours either. There is a place for tribute bands and I know that many people would choose to see them and many original bands endorse them as well but to miss out on hearing and seeing Anderson/Barre 40 years on would have been a great loss for any Tull fan. Roll on the 41st tour !!

And the recreation of the original This Was Dharma, is more than a happy moment for this old Tullie, as was Beggars Farm back in 92. And One For John Gee? These are indeed happy moments. This may come as news to you, but Anderson has a well-deserved reputation of being a prick. That doesn't change the way I feel about the music or lyrics and I do think he is a genius. But there's no excuse for berating fans who pay to see you, which he has a long history of doing. Like the time in 1992 at the ALLM show in the Beacon theater. I was sittiing fifth row center. During intermission there were long lines to the bathroom and the intermission wasn't long enough, so some people in the first couple of rows were late getting back to their seats. So Ian, having resumed the show with For 1000 Mothers, steps back from the mike and yells "Sit the F**k down" which could be heard from up close. Nice. And there are many other stories like this. Based on that, I tend to believe the ex-band members like Andy who complain of being treated like sh*t after all their years of loyal service. And as for staying home and pursuing other musical avenues, I will be doing just that, aside from seeing them once this summer which quite possibly will be the last Tull show I ever attend (and I have attended over 80). Because, quite frankly, Ian's voice sounds like crap. And Tull these days are just going through the motions, re-hashing material and jokes from earlier tours, covering other people's music and having other people, like that string quartet on the last tour, covering great Tull songs like SFTW and HH, at what is supposed to be a Tull show, and having Ian pop his head out at the end to pipe in with a few flute lines. Boy, did that suck. Jeff

Ian, with the non-stop touring, playing 150 shows a year, every year for the past 15 years -- this incessant touring dates back to the 25th anniversary tour in 1993, which lasted for about three years -- has completely destroyed his voice. He should give his voice a rest already and should do more albums especially now with the economy going south and people no longer willing to spend upwards of eighty bucks to see Tull. (Perhaps that explains why there are so few American dates on this tour?) If you look at other bands who have been around for 35+ years, like Rush and Rolling Stones, they have not lost much. The Stones put out a great album and proved they could still kick ass live. And Geddy Lee and Rush sound better than ever. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about Tull. Jeff

Jeff And that I think, Jeff, hits the nail on the head. Even the so-called "detractors" aren't expecting Ian to sound like he did 40 years ago, but if you still go out pushing brand Tull, then many punters, paying what to them is top dollar will expect to see Tull perform at a level commensurate with the price tag. Forget Ian's voice, the band isn't Tull anyway, it's the Ian Anderson band and by that I don't mean that's any bad thing either. Ian is a clever and very articulate song-writer, musician and performer but I do suspect there are some limitations in his make-up these days that restricts him from pushing the boundaries like he used to. I can understand that as well. For many, the older you get the more risk adverse you become, and Ian has settled into a comfortable niche, which again I can't blame him for.
My wish for future Tull would be drop the name Jethro Tull and play as "Anderson and Barre", then the possibility of employing additional vocalists, pretty young violinists, odd-job assortments of session players and doing cover versions wouldn't raise the hackles of those Tull devotees, who aren't actually detractors but simply fans as good as any others, but who may be a little more discerning in expecting to see Tull the band and not Tull the brand.
Most of the criticism I think comes from people who do not expect to see a band "rooted in the past" [how about that for the name of the next reissue] but would be happy to see a new direction or even a mellowing of what went before.
If Tull was then resurrected ocassionally I think people would probabaly give it and Ian a lot more respect, although I suspect that Tull will continue for a few more years yet.
I'm looking forward to the RFH show, and I hope that the promise in the new line-up and show that many have written about shows through, but the feeling that Tull is like a reliable, comforatble, old pair of shoes is something that I think Ian gets some degreee of solace from these days. Then again I can't blame him for that these days, he's broken a few moulds in the past and maybe he feels he doesn't need to risk anything anymore.

Suppose the longer you know a band the more you have to say. I took 4 newbies who had listened and watched early Tull and they were delighted seeing 'Jethro Tull' for the first time! Always a good thing for any band.

Out of curiousity when did Tull stop being Tull and become The Ian Anderson band ? Probably when Mick Abrahams left the band. Suppose the longer you know a band the more you have to say. Suppose so, read quite a few long posts on here recently, but it might be because I'm just a gobby git with an opinion. I took 4 newbies who had listened and watched early Tull and they were delighted seeing 'Jethro Tull' for the first time! I used to go to see Tull with about a dozen or so friends who were "Tull" fans, all of them have given up on the band....they weren't so delighted seeing a band they loved turn into what they thought was a parody and a joke. I suppose the advantage is they made space for your newbie friends...but I suppose when you downsize from 17,000 seat venues to Clacton Town Hall the pressure is still on for a seat. Always a good thing for any band. I couldn't agree more but then again so is new material. But hey! let's not end on a bad note I was looking forward to seeing them.

Now as far as being a 'gobby old git' is concerned I don't believe a word of it! ;D Enjoy your show !!!

Best thing to say is ..Let's hang around and see what they turn up with next.' After all as life proceeds down it's twisty path it's good to have something to look forward too! Now as far as being a 'gobby old git' is concerned I don't believe a word of it! ;D i29.images obliterated by tinypic/2924u9x.jpg [/IMG] Enjoy your show !!![/quote] Now I love a bit of p*ss-taking humour, or a spirited discussion aboutt he topic in hand, but I'm not sure if that's where this is coming from, if I'm wrong, my apologies in advance but if I'm not, then.... That's what you might say. I can't say I fancy hanging around just to see what they [and by they I presume you mean Ian] might turn up with next.....been there seen it done it. I ddn't buy the tee-shirt as i thought they were crap, anyway it might just be another version of Bouree. I hope it isn't, the more discerniing might just be about ready for something else. Gobby yes, Git maybe ....but less of the "old" , I'm not so old that I come over all nostalgic and cry over a set list. Yes, I also hope that I will enjoy the show. Who knows I may end up writing a lengthy review which might be directly proportional to the number of years I have enjoyed the band...but then again I might not because if I've learnt one thing it's that there's nothing to be gained in writing for people who can't see past the end of their noses. Col, hat's off to you mate for getting this going again, but like the old board there's the danger that honesty and critical assessment means too little to too many and I can't take the "oh you're not a fan if you don't think Ian's a genius, God or the carbon-neutral saviour of the planet" brigade. I thought things had moved on from that when we lost the last medium for discussion. I'm sure you've got my e-mail drop me a line about meeting up for that beer at the RFH. [/quote] I sincerely apologise Quizzkid if i have said anything inappropriate. I can assure you that I mean't nothing by my comments. I enjoy reading all that is posted here and certainly think it would be a bit dull and boring if it were all 'Isn't Tull wonderful.' Ah.. the inadequacies of cyberspace!!

Nonrabbit, No apologies required, I wrote it at the end of a long day of work and just came back to delete it, in the hope that no-one had read it....unfortunately I was too late; so my apologies for geting out of my pram. Still, vive le difference, I'm sure we're on the same side in wanting Tull to deliver some continuing great work. all the best

Honesty, critical assesment and above all balance are the watchwords of this board (well they are now!) Although I did start this board mainly because I got bored waiting for someone else to start one and thus have no intention of setting myself up as some sort of webmaster type important person what I will do with regard to running it is put a stop to all the endless bickering from a few people that ruined the other Tull boards for everybody else. We are gonna have fun here....OR ELSE! ;D

[/quote]I look in here daily, particularly during tours and not having seen anyone else make reference to IA's to me, notable and commendable environmental efforts I realize the comment above must be directed at me! What concerns me more is how much of the rest of what you have written is. I am pretty sure most of the people on here who read my stuff like me as well as the next guy, maybe not. What I will do is start to tailor the length of my responses to no longer than what has preceeded me, or not post just read, its too much fun to go away!

Great clip??? Sorry, but that sucked. Now I'm sorry I spent $80.00 for a ticket this summer. Two beautiful songs, both with great lyrics, just absolutely butchered. How is it that he sings exactly 0 lines from Sossity and 1 line from Reasons for Waiting, substituting his flute for 98 % of the vocals, and expects anyone to want to listen to that? I am not interested in hearing the flute replace the vocal line. I want to hear the words and the way Ian used to sing them. If he can't sing anymore he should not be touring with Tull. Also, this medley is not even new. It was played during the ALLM tour. Right now I would much rather see a great Tull tribute band, like War Child or Dayglo Pirates, than Tull themselves. At least those guys can sing. And they play Tull the way Tull was meant to be played. Loud and angry. Not the muzak that a Tull live performance has become. Jeff Holy crap that was bad - or sad, depending on which way you want to look at it. I think it would serve me best to just remain silent on this rather than offend anybody.
