Ian Anderson - Born: August 10, 1947
Happy Birthday from everyone that loves you! Published on Jul 3, 2012 by AllanHandelman Allan's most recent conversation with Rock legend Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Anderson announced the 40th anniversary sequel to his hugely successful 1972 album. A 19-date tour to commemorate the 40th anniversary of 'Thick As A Brick,' is under way. The sequel titled THICK AS A BRICK 2.

Hi All Seeing the TOTRAR video reminded me of something that has baffled me for a long time (well, since 2006). I believe TOTRAR came out in 1976. The video has Eddie Jobson in it who came aboard, albeit briefly, in 1980. From past "A" videos, IA is clearly folicle challenged at that point, yet he sports a full Ministrel in the Gallery head of hair in the video. David Pegg also looks like he raided a wardrobe department at the backlot of a studio. If this is going over old ground, my apologies. I'm new at this.

The video you are referring to was recorded in 1980 specifically for the Slipstream videodisc/beta/VHS format. The band goes through numerous guises including the old men(this was) and the young men. Ian sporting the long haired wig! Also obvious that it's not from 76 as Pegg didn't join the band until 1979 and Mark Craney is the drummer. Funny video though.
"Jesus! How can I be 65? Remember don't trust anyone over 30. Well at least I can trust Florian Opahle at 29. Also Kai, Zombywoof, and other young Board members." "Just kidding... I trust everyone at the Jethro Tull Board."
