Maddog- Oasis Centre Swindon 1992 I was there. Crap venue. Yes Duck, an absolute s***hole of a venue. Still recall the gymnasium markings on the floor and the handwritten posters warning the bowling club that they might get disturbed by the sound of a loud rock band playing in the centre. The acoustics were dreadful and the centre staff unhelpful. Kenny Wylie hated the place ;D

Jethro tull in Athens playing "Dhama for one" Great drum solo from Doane and equally great bit of guitar work from Martin Barre's stand in, who I assume is Florian Opahle.

Does anyone know what's happened to Martin's finger - did he cut it gardening/opening a tin of cat food/using scissors while updating his scrapbook ?

Really dont like to hear this shredding stuff with The Great Tull. I think the music deserves more respect than a poor mans Van Halen impresion. Get ya finger fixed Martin ,cant beat your superior elegant playing.

Here's the boys (including Martin) playing in the bunker of a potash mine in Merkers, Germany. They'll be going down the pit next. ;D I'll wait with baited breath for someone to come up with a comment linking the venue and a certain former JT drummer.

I know Martin isn't playing here (which is a pity) but it's still a very good performance of Thick as a Brick!

It doesn't matter how many times I hear this instrumental, Bouree', I never tire of it. Ian sounds as good as he did when I first heard this song back in the late 60's. God Bless him and the rest of the boys.
Regards,

God Bless him and the rest of the boys. Regards, Silken... If you get a chance, have a look at the French TV film of the lads miming to Bouree on what appears to be a football pitch. It's on youtube somewhere and it's is, I suppose for its day, quite surrealistic.

From The Northern Echo www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/features/8334003.Ian_likes_to_live_in_peace/Ian likes to live in peace 11:49am Monday 16th August 2010
For four decades Ian Anderson has been fronting bluesinfluenced band Jethro Tull. As he prepares to perform in the North-East, he tells Steve Pratt why he shuns the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle in favour of a book and the news on TV.
NOT for Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll lifetyle. No wild parties, druginduced hazes or nights on the town. After a gig, you’re more likely to find him curled up with a good book or catching up with the news on TV.
What he does demand is a good curry. So the night before Jethro Tull play in a marquee, in South Shields, next month, he’ll be looking for the best Indian restaurant in town to have king prawn vindaloo and half a pint of Indian beer.
He’s been the familiar figure – standing on one leg playing the flute – at the front of Jethro Tull for more than four decades.
Separating Anderson the performer from Anderson the person is not easy, it is just that you push the acclerator a bit harder for the period you’re on stage, he says, adding: “It’s the same engine doing everything, you just wind up the performance a little bit.
“I come off stage and want peace and quiet and solitude. I like to sit in my hotel bedroom and watch CNN, get a decent night’s sleep. I’m a simple soul really – I don’t party or hang out with the guys. I just like to read a book.”
Growing up, his musical influences were blues and jazz men, many of whom were already dead, killed by drug habits. “In a sense it was one of the things that warned me off drugs at an early age. I’ve always tended to eschew the chemicals that abounded in my teenage and later years,” he explains.
“It’s clearly difficult for a lot of people who are seduced into stereotypical behaviour. It’s a lifestyle that people feed into. It does exert a strong pull for a lot of people, but I also think you’ll find a lot who are quite normal, some pretty regular girls and guys.”
As for the demands made by some artists on tour, he notes that his wife is his tour accountant and relates to him stories, told to her by promoters, about the diva-ish demands made by other performers. He doesn’t approve. It would be nice, he adds, if these people were slapped down.
Heaven forbid, if this early to bed, no drugs attitude makes Anderson sound boring. No one who’s survived in the music business for more than 40 years could be that.
Tull never was an ordinary band, not least because of their common love of the blues at a time when pop was under the influence of groups like The Beatles.
Band members have come and gone but composer, singer and flautist Anderson has stayed the course. The band now has some 30-or-so albums to its credit with sales of more than 50 million and still doing about 120 gigs a year.
He both endures and enjoys touring. For him, the challenge is getting there. He said: “That’s not necessarily enjoyable in the back of a van or plane, with the possible exception of trains which I enjoy. Much of your day is spent just getting on with it, getting up early in the morning and going to bed late at night.
“It becomes increasingly difficult because I’m not a happy flyer and don’t enjoy long flights. It’s stressful trying to get around with our equipment and baggage. There’s the economic pressure and the rules get tighter and tighter, become more of a hassle.
“It can be both stressful and tiring, particularly for the crew because their working day starts as soon as they get to the venue. The concerts are an easy couple of hours that live in the middle when you do something that’s a bit more for fun.”
Tull will be performing in a giant marquee at Gypsies Green Stadium, South Shields, during a weekend of celebrations surrounding this year’s Bupa Great North Run.
THE day after we spoke Anderson was travelling to Israel where Tull were appearing in Tel Aviv. The trip had entailed an email to former PM Tony Blair – not for musical tips but advice in his guise as a Middle East peace envoy.
Anderson determined if he performed again in Israel, the money would go to charity and, aware of trouble caused over some “Biblical real estate”, he wanted to ensure the groups selected don’t favour one side or the other.
On the subject of charity, if you’re ever in India and visit Mumbai look out for an ambulance bearing the Jethro Tull name. It was bought with the proceeds of a charity concert staged after the band was caught up in the terrorist attack and hotel siege a few years back.
He tells me that the interview after mine is with the Jerusalem Post and knows that he will be asked something along the lines of “All these other gigs have cancelled, why have you chosen to go?”
Anderson could, of course, afford to sit at home and do nothing. But he’s not about to do that. “It’s not just about going out there and making tons of money, it’s about going out there and doing things you want to do,” he says.
He likes going to places he has visited before and having the opportunity to stand there and see something and know something he didn’t know the day before. “I always enjoy my little expeditions. I travel alone when I can and usually on a train. No one pays attention to a little balding old man.”
Although the North-East gig is linked with the Great North Run, he won’t be tempted to join the run. He regales me with details of injuries to ankle and knee that rule out that kind of exercise. He also had a deep vein thrombosis “and nearly ended up snuffing it in hospital in Sydney”. It taught him a valuable life lesson about taking care of himself and he considers himself in better shape now than he was ten to 15 years ago.
There’s no fear that he’ll not be able to stand on one leg playing the flute as fans expect. Photographers demand that too.
“I make a point of doing it in the first couple of songs so the professional photographers can get their picture, then leave and not block the view of the ticket-buying public,” he says.
Inevitably, he’s given some thought as to why Jethro Tull has been so successful for so long.
For a generation of people in their 40s and 50s, even their 60s, the band is a little reminder of a period of their lives that makes them understand who they are and where they come from.
But the audience also includes 20-year-olds, often the children of the older fans.
“It’s a way of discovering who your parents are and who you are, or will become. It’s bringing people together in that family way. As a teenager I grew up listeninig to old people and now I’m witnessing what happened when I was a teenager.” And a review of the concert from The Shields Gazette www.shieldsgazette.com/livereview/Jethro-Tull-Gypsies-Green-Stadium.6538628.jpJethro Tull, Gypsies Green Stadium 18 September 2010 By Paul Clifford
The Great North Run weekend got off to a great start last night with a huge rock concert. Jethro Tull, the legendary prog-rock band, played at Gypsies Green Stadium in South Shields.
A massive marquee was set up in the athletics stadium for the band, which played a two-hour set to a rapturous audience.
First up though, were local rockabilly legends Bessie And The Zinc Buckets.
The band, fronted by Kev Charlton, got the 2,000-strong crowd going with a rousing set of rock and roll covers.
After 45 minutes of songs from Sun Records - the label Elvis Presley first recorded on - and other 1950s classics, the band gave way to the Tull.
The Gypsies Green marquee was packed for the prog-rock legends, and they weren't disappointed.
Over two hours, Jethro Tull, fronted by the rock world's most famous flautist Ian Anderson, wowed the crowd.
The band mined the deepest depths of their recording history, which goes back to 1967, by playing tracks from early albums Aqualung, This Was and Benefit.
Throughout the gig, frontman Anderson was front and centre, showing off his flute, harmonica and mandolin skills.
And on tracks like Aqualung, and the epic Thick As A Brick, guitarist Martin Barre made sure the crowd knew how good he is.
He looks unassuming, but the goateed guitarist could be seen as the heartbeat of the band.
He frequently took centre stage, and his riffs and solos were the platform for Anderson to take his flute flights of fancy.
Of course, the band is best-known for singer Anderson's flute work, and he didn't disappoint.
Throughout the set, which took tracks from the band's early days as well as more recent songs, the frontman was a livewire.
He broke into his trademark one-legged dance on more than one occasion, and was rightly applauded for it.
Anderson's energetic performance really sums up the band as whole - effervescent regardless of their years, and determined to put on a good show.
Jethro Tull warmed up a cold autumn night, not to mention their hundreds of South Tyneside fans.

Here's a video I came across of JT. playing "Cross eyed Mary" in Dortmund, sounds good to me. What do the rest of you think? And what do you think of the venue? Posted in 2010 by Bunkerfan. Just discovered this last night. Very cool to see Ian come out through the audience. One unusual show indeed with attendance between 600-1000 people. www.radiotiw.de/news/jethro-tull-spielten-im-stadion-in-dortmund.html Tonight played the classic rocker "Jethro Tull" Live at the Dortmund stadium "Signal Iduna Park".
Nearly 1,000 people were sitting in the stands of Tribühne to the man with the flute to experience.
Besides frontman Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, saxophone, tin whistle, harmonica) and Martin Barre (guitar) were Doane Perry (drums), John O'Hara (piano and accordion) and David Goodier (bass) on stage. Punctually at 20:30 the clock began with the appearance and provided a mix of 40 years of Jethro Tull. www.radiotiw.de/news/jethro-tull-in-dortmund.html www.ruhrnachrichten.de/lokales/dortmund/Jethro-Tull-kommen-nach-Dortmund;art930,826841

Here's the boys (including Martin) playing in the bunker of a potash mine in Merkers, Germany. They'll be going down the pit next. ;D www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JxrBcC-XQk I'll wait with baited breath for someone to come up with a comment linking the venue and a certain former JT drummer. Holy Clive BUNKER !!!! This place was way down underground
According to Miguel Ruiz - guitarist with Saori Jo ... "This is surely the most surprising room where we had the opportunity to play with Saori Jo, as is the concert hall 500 meters underground, it is an old salt mine in Merkers Germany and to be honest, I am so claustrophobic I could not be there and Saori Jo played without me and made the first part of Jethro Tull detail: the descent lasts 1mn30s elevator and half of the ride is in the dark, another detail to get to the venue is 10 minutes drive in narrow tunnels just illuminated by the headlights of the car, finally here"
Ministry of Info... Venue is 500m underground. 20:00 start, but entry times strictly limited: audience (virtually sold out) had to arrive between 18:00 & 19:30, descend the lift in total darkness, then ride open trucks (wearing hard hats) through ~3 km of tunnels to a larger cavern. Support: Saori Jo, accompanied by Martin on some songs, as her usual guitarist is claustrophobic. No balloons.... Nothing Is Easy, Beggar's Farm, A New Day Yesterday, Life Is A Long Song, Serenade To A Cuckoo, Thick As A Brick, Songs From The Wood, Bourée, Hare In The Wine Cup, A Change Of Horses, Cross-Eyed Mary, Farm On The Freeway, Guitar solo (The Whistler excerpt), My God, Aqualung, Locomotive Breath/Teacher (inst.)
