Haven't heard nothing yet. I went to their web site, but there was nothing about 2011. Perhaps they'll surprise us with a new disc. I may be dreaming, but you never know.  I am the piper that calls the sweet tune, But I must be gone by the seventh day. |

Ian is planning a new double CD of studio music, using all the past members of Jethro Tull. They will also be re-releasing Under Wraps with Doane re-doing the drum parts live. Any then they plan a 7-DVD release of live concerts from 1972-1979.  Okay, okay. In all seriousness, Ian has stated that he will be touring less, and hopes to record some new material. Keep your (two) fingers crossed that we may actually see a new CD or songs for download. |

A new album would be great. But it will Aqualung's 40th birthday, so no doubt there will a reissue at some point.

I thought it was interesting from the perspective that 'if Ian could play, this is what he would play.' I just have trouble with the remix. It's simply not listenable in my car, which is where I listen most to music. And there's no understanding going to help you now. |

Stay tuned folks for some inside information concerning future touring and recording plans! I should be in possession of such information very soon, but will not be able to reveal my confidential source.

Ok, maybe I´ll take the 7 DVD´s dream for tonight! I´ll tell you people the TRUTH: Ian is planning to release a Reggae version of the Aqualung album for 2011  Shark |

As promised, here is the exciting news for future plans, which is coming directly from the source!
A fast friend of The Jethro Tull Board -- whose identity I cannot reveal -- had the good fortune of scoring backstage passes to the Collingswood New Jersey show for himself and a friend, who Florian wanted to meet, and when they got backstage after the show, they were delighted to learn that they were two of only four backstage guests. (The night before, in Morristown, there were eight guests including Paul and I, full story to follow later.)
It was Shona's birthday, and there was a small party with a nice spread laid out, and the band members were relaxing unlike the previous night when Ian departed shortly after meeting Paul and I and the other guests.
Our friend -- who has met Ian and Shona on multiple prior occasions and is recoginized by them -- began chatting with Shona, and then Ian came over and suddenly Mr. Friend found himself engaged in a semi-private conversation with them both (only one or two other guests were still present), and this conversation yielded some tasty tidbits.
First, it was discovered that Ian had just tried lobster for the very first time (!) at a nearby Red Lobster restaurant, but didn't particularly care for it, and was then advised by our friend that eating lobster at RL is not a good way to judge lobster, just as you wouldn't judge hamburgers in general by eating at McDonalds. Ian laughed at that, and stated his clear preference for Denny's over Red Lobster. (So, I guess no future lobsters will be in the offing, at least not at Red Lobster!)
The conversation continued in this light vein -- with Ian making characterstic bawdy jokes, including one of a very phallic nature where the term "stiffy" was employed -- and then our friend ventured some questions about future plans. The question was posed in such a way as to reference a recent interview in which Ian is quoted as having said that he will be slowing down and cutting his touring schedule in half, to which Ian rolled his eyes and stated "well, not just yet."
It was then revealed, by the man himself, that a new music release, in the form of an actual album as opposed to mere downloads, is a certainty for 2011, though whether it will be a solo album or a Tull album is not yet determined. (I'm betting on two releases, one Tull, one solo, to follow the pattern that was established ever since Roots and Divinities.)
What's more is that Ian revealed to our friend that there are huge plans for 2012, but that he was not at liberty to say what those plans are. Beyond that, there is nothing planned, because, in Ian's own words "Nostradamus has predicted that the world will end in 2012" and so expects to be dead. Ian must be heavily into Nostradamus at the moment, because he made a joke about N-damus at the Morristown show the night before.
So there you have it, Tull fans, we are in for a very exciting two years of Tull and/or Ian record release(s) and touring, but it could all end after that! So let's just hope that Nostradamus turns out to be wrong.

Thanks Jeff, that's great news indeed. I believe you owe someone a beer since you were only off in your prediction by what, 5 or 6 years? This may be the first time I've heard every song on studio album before it was released. And lastly, what the hell was Ian doing at Red Lobster?!?  |

Good news Jeff, thanks for the very detailed report.
I guess we could all use a new Tull album =)

That's great news Jeff! Thanks so much for letting us in on the new information  Any guesses at what the "huge" plans for 2012 might be? What could be bigger at this point than a brand new Tull release? A complete change in musical direction? A much requested DVD release of recently discovered 70's performances? The release of a whole nother unreleased Tull album from long ago? (though I doubt Ian would really consider the latter two huge) You certainly have intrigued us, Jeff, and it's good to know that the world of Jethro Tull is still alive and well and living in.  |

(though I doubt Ian would really consider the latter two huge) You certainly have intrigued us, Jeff, and it's good to know that the world of Jethro Tull is still alive and well and living in. Thanks, KB, I'm just hoping that those huge 2012 plans have nothing to do with any kind of a farewell tour, in light of what he said about nothing being planned beyond that. Also, we have seen before instances of Ian giving seemingly conflicting information regarding future plans -- such as what he said in the interview about cutting his touring schedule in half vs. what he told our friend -- so it's hard to know exactly what is going to happen. I don't think Ian is the type to do a farewell tour, though, because I don't think he will ever fully retire from touring, and even if he is shutting down Tull, I doubt that he would do this by way of a goodbye tour. I am betting that the huge plans somehow involve two releases, one solo and one Tull, because that has been the pattern with Roots/Divinites, Dot Com/Slob and Xmas album/Rupi's Dance ever since 1995.

Thanks for the lowdown on your meeting with IA Jeff. Much appreciated. "It was then revealed, by the man himself, that a new music release, in the form of an actual album as opposed to mere downloads, is a certainty for 2011, though whether it will be a solo album or a Tull album is not yet determined."Excellent. I think it's time to wheel out the red man with the single strand of green hair. In fact, how about five of em! Great news! Huge plans for 2012? What can this mean? Wishful thinking here...two new albums, an autobiography and a double album of un-released tracks, even though IA has said there are no more in the archives ;D - plus a fourth new album of new songs which are all sequels to old songs. Oh, plus an interactive dvd music interface program in which we get to mix old Tull tracks and substitute different flute parts etc....? Plus a world tour. Plus IA is going to visit each and every Tull fan in his/her own home for a personal concert and just to have a friendly natter, cup of tea and biscuit? Sounds good to me. Wishful thinking....lol. Sh!t - what's this? We're all gonna die in 2012? I DO hope that information is wonky. Brian. |

I remember recently reading Ian saying that he doesn't think he'll ever stop playing music, but I can't remember if he specified touring or not. I can see him a very old man sitting on a stool with a handful of other musicians playing instrumentals on the flute, mandolin, and guitar. Martin with his Bouzouki beside him.

How was Phil Collins as a Tull drummer? Well, he may have been the only drummer on the stage with them that night but I suspect he wasn't the best drummer in the band that night....  |

Am I the only one that loves Under Wraps...too late now - don't answer that, don't really care. haha
