Going to pass on this tour,will watch the cellphone clips from u tube,I wanna see a cover band can pay a lot less and probably better voice condition,not easy for me to say but the truth.On the up side am sure a few bands I like will be touring next fall though must say not much in this neck of the woods have wanted to see last few months excepting the RR show(bit far from home!),oh well.
Thanks for the great Promo schedule. It looks like a great year ahead which will be better if I can locate a U.S. schedule soon. Come on Ian, Asheville, North Carolina is a guaranteed sell out. You will be able to hang out with the nicest place in the East. We await with eager antici...........pation.

Personally, I can't wait for the "Thick as a Brick" tour. Even though Ian's voice is failing, his flute and acoustic guitar still add up to a great night's entertainment.

I found this strange, indeed. Not often Ian or Ian with J.T goes in Ireland...M.
I know before this year Ian's last concert here was in the city hall in Cork in 2001.
Incredible, nearly. You have all my solidarity. I could hardly live without at least one J.T concert a year. In 2010 i been in four: two concerts in my country and two in U.K. Now i'm waiting to attend to the show in the Manchester Cathedral in december. M.

This is definitely a show that I won't be missing. I expect this will draw a ton of Tull fans (even those who may have not yet dusted off their records). I guess the response with most people on this forum is good evidence
I'm really interested to see what he's going to do with this. I hope they get creative with it. Of course they can't stray TOO far from the original (since it's sort of a thing of nostalgia for a lot of people) but I'm guessing that if he wants to do it again, he's at least going to want to make it interesting.

I entirely agree. Will you be at that concert in December ?M.

I sincerely hope that they will "go north" on the Thick as a Brick tour and show us Scandinavians some love! Still no Denmark venues on the tour list on the (never updated) Jethro Tull website...
I got the information about the concert 1 February 2012, from the lady in my local fish store... She had already got a ticket. Tickets have been available since late autumn 2011.
29 July is my birthday. I don't see any reason to see Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson 28 July.

Jethro Tull Concert in Iceland Sells Out in Seven Minutes
Tickets to a concert by the British rock group Jethro Tull in the concert center Harpa in Reykjavík on June 21 sold out seven minutes after ticket sales opened on February 2. Following the high demand, another concert was scheduled the day after.
At the concerts, Ian Anderson and his band mates will play the album Thick As A Brick, which hasn’t been performed in its entirety since released in 1972, visir.is reports.
The audience will also be able to enjoy part of the sequel, Thick As A Brick 2, which is in the making, as recently announced.
According to midi.is, the show will feature a more theatrical production with video and additional musicians. Jethro Tull last performed in Iceland in 2009 when tickets sold out in less than a day.
