I can see them in the woods throwing down ale or wine 🤟🤟🤟🤟 or whatever Meade was easiest to possess from the local pub. Playing their songs, finding their ladies, and having a hell of a time. Just when they realize the ladies are magical beings that ............... well it's midnight and we will not know until a few weeks from now......... or did l just go to sleep ?
I think Doane did a great homage of Clive's 1970 Isle of Whight solo, highlighting all of Clive's best fills of that solo including the "head-bend" on the snare at the end! Very tastey! But then again, Jethro Tull has always been a class act regardless of the lineup!
Ian Anderson is so wonderfully talented. Was a big fan of his in high school and actually play one of his melodies these days though it's heavily modded. It's from Minstrel in the Gallery and is called The Whistler. Great celtic melody at it's roots. I added my own melody also for the bridge, so it's a few bars of his and then a few bars of mine.
Disagree, Barlow was the best drummer Tull ever had. Barlow joining the band was what allowed Tull to start playing more complex stuff. According to Ian, Clive had some trouble keeping time in odd meters and didn't feel comfortable playing them, so Barlow joining opened up more possibilities in terms of what kind of material they could write.
Ian is just absolutely classic. Been a fan since they started; went to the Goose Lake rock concert just to see Tull. (Lots of other greats there, too, of course.)
im not a musician, but i believe tone and timbre are the same thing. i, too, like the sound of this thing - it's low, warm, possibly baritone-ish. funny how Ian roasts it here - im sure deep down he loves it.
Alive and Well 5/12/2020 Sheltering in Place in California....Soooo Bizarre...Listening to Good Vibes and finding new musical roads thanks to the Crazy COVID-19 restrictions
doan is one of the best drummers ever, the only usa musician played in tull, his didactic vhs is from other world, what a sound this premier and this paiste, amazing
Not entirely true Jaime. Mark Craney, who did such splendid work on the A album and tour and a very dear friend of Doane's was also American. Passed away a few years back from a long time.....congenital kidney ailment I think it was.
I'm always amazed at how good Ian is - him and his band, of course. I usually see people their age really slowly (or quickly) getting old and these guys are always just the same, meaning always excellent energy and perfect quality.
That is because he is always working, always playing and composing. He has got a hell of a lot of wind for an old geezer, but you can tell that from his prattle! ;-)
Ian´s drum solo comment kind of rolled over everybody there in Basel. He could have supplied them with a "No drum solos? I think that deserves a boo, don´t you?!"
