IA was THE greatest frontman I’ve ever seen, brilliant musician, composer and leader of my all time favourite band of all time. The operative word is “was” and, for me, Tull isn’t Tull without Martin Barre, another brilliant musician. Hurts me to say it but it’s time to call it a day.
It breaks my heart to say it, Jon, please stop, you have done a wonderful job. keep playing the flute. I saw like this in Santa Rosa, CA in 2016 and it was till a tad better but you do no one a favor, the least to yourself, we love you and JT
Why do the old gems in so different form and tempo when there exist new, fresh and good song where the band and Ian can show what they can do. I'm a true Tull fan.
The new material might not bring in the crowds. I first saw Tull in '72 as a schoolboy. Fave band of all time, but I won't see him torture these songs anymore. Such a shame.
@@stevejones1921 I agree. I've seen Tull many times and the top band set was in the 70s. It's a pity that I always compare Tull and other bands with Tull of the 70s.
1974 “My that was a wonderful audition. And starting Monday you will be our lead vocalist. Congratulations!” I doubt it. It’s hard to get old and pass up things you used do well. But age. Then death. 100% true of all of us
This venues sound/acoustics seemed to work against the band.I’ve seen many other performances that were easier.I still think he did an amazing job.Heck we all would love to be doing the same as we age.
Voice needs to be forwarded more prominently in the production, while backed by the instrumentation. I cannot clearly 'hear' the power of the voice delivery. Interesting wrap up.
The band is not good is very bad this is not Jethro Tull just Ian Anderson and background members . Do you realize that in each presentation they play the same song ,locomotive breath , that’s because Ian Anderson and friends are not able to play Most of Jethro Tull songs due lack of qualities of members and Ian . Currently Ian can not sing and can not play acoustic guitar . His obstinacy continue, he has to understand , it is over .
@@paolo60333 No Jethro Tull was the best Prog Rock band until 2003 when they released The Christmas Album. Then Ian Anderson destroyed the band by firing old members as M Barre D Perry A Giddings and J Noyce . Then he formed a band with friends without the abilities to be member of JT . Besides that Anderson has lost all his abilities except the flute .
Supply and Demand. As long there is the passion and love to perform, they'll do it. (Of course money plays a part too). Quite a few still go out there and perform for the same reasons.
