The first time I heard "Thick as a Brick" was after Tull had just finished "A Passion Play" live in Greensboro '73. I was beginning to realize how special this album was after buying the 8 track for my car quad system. When I was riding to school I usually played a lot of "The Brick" which made me quite rebellious. It seems I was influenced to question authority which may have happened anyway.
Many of the lyrics were unfamiliar terms and British humor. It still is a very complicated piece of literary art. Actually I'm still rebellious but wiser. ;D

A New Day is off the hook. I was at the LA show which didn't suck in any way shape or form!! Darin "Ian is playing a rythmic link section consisting of alternating bars of C minor suspended 4 and F Major. This quiet and very pleasant interlude preceeds an entry by Johns organ which then unites with the guitar to provide a textural overlay rich in percussive counter rythms. Young Gerald Bostocks poem is taken up once more, sung of course by Mr. Anderson, and after a further ten bars, the guitarist, the drummer and I myself will blend and aspire towards eager participation in anticipation of the orgasmic....sensation.....to follow."

Lot's of bands used to record the evenings performance on 4 track to evaluate the bands performance, we know that Zappa did it constantly, he used a lot in releases. I find it veeeery hard to believe that Ian and the band didn't do this, even a little..........So somewhere out there or deep down under something........ Darin

The band’s chart-topping record will be played in its entirety – as initially recorded – for the first time since its original tour in 1972. ‘Thick as a Brick’ was a concept album based on a poem written by a fictitious 10 year old boy Gerald Bostock – in reality Anderson himself, who wrote both music and lyrics. It only featured one seamless 45 minutes long track, although it was split to accommodate the album on vinyl and cassette. It reached number 5 in the UK charts. Tickets for the 2012 tour go on sale from 7th September. ‘Thick As A Brick – Whatever happened to Gerald Bostock’ promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience, rediscovering a timeless milestone of progressive rock. The performances will also incorporate video projection and other theatrical elements. Ian Anderson performs some of his finest work with the added maturity and skill acquired across a 40 years strong career. Anderson says: “I never thought I would do this music again in its entirety but, over the last couple of years, I have grown to rather like the idea and the prospect of a Prog moment of profound excess. Question is: will I now become filled with some dark and nefarious need to take this murky, anal business further? You never know….. ” Widely recognised as the man who introduced the flute to rock music, Ian also plays ethnic flutes and whistles together with acoustic guitar and the mandolin family of instruments, providing the acoustic textures which have been an integral part of most of the Tull repertoire and his solo material. In recent years, he has toured more and more under his own name in solo concerts with orchestras, string quartets, featured soloists and in his other eclectic acoustic shows. During the ‘Thick As a Brick’ tour Anderson will be joined by John O’Hara on keyboards, David Goodier on bass, Florian Opahle on guitar and Scott Hammond on drums as well as guest performers. Full details are: - Date City Venue Box Office Ticket Price April 14th 14 Perth Concert Hall 01738 621 031 £22.50/£25.50/£28.50 15th Glasgow Theatre Royal 0844 871 7627 £25.50/£28.50 17th Newcastle City Hall 0191 261 2606 £25.50/£28.50 Date City Venue Box Office Ticket Price April 18th Liverpool Philharmonic 0151 709 3789 £25.50/£28.50 19th Sheffield City Hall 0114 2 789 789 £25.50/£28.50 20th Blackburn St George’s Hall 0844 847 1664 £26.50 21th Harrogate Royal Hall 0845 130 8840 £25.50/£28.50 22th Manchester Opera House 0844 847 2484 £25.50/£28.50 24th Derby Assembly Rooms 01332 255 800 £25.50/£28.50 25th Ipswich Regent Theatre 01473 433100 £25.50/£28.50 27th London Hammersmith Apollo 0843 221 0100 £25/£28.50/£32.50 28th Bristol Colston Hall 0117 922 3686 £25.50/£28.50 29th High Wycombe The Swan Theatre 01494 512 000 £26.50/£29.50 30th Birmingham Symphony Hall 0121 780 3333 £26.50/£29.50 May 2nd 2 Oxford Apollo 0844 847 1588 £25.50/£28.50 3rd Reading Hexagon 0118 960 6060 £25.50/£28.50 4th Guildford G Live 0844 7701 797 £28.50/£31.50 5th Cardiff St David’s Hall 029 2087 8444 £25.50/£28.50 6th Southampton Guildhall 023 8063 2601 £25.50/£28.50 Doors open at 7.30pm except for Southampton – 7pm.

1972 Ian Anderson ...............................................Note: The second interview has a 22 second audio loss from 0:27 - 0:49 seconds. Also, audio loss from 6:55 - 8:00 minute mark. Rare video footage.

So now the audience is older and less likely to hoot and make noises? Being a perfectionist is tough. We need someone to que the applause.

Does Ian really expect anyone to believe that the reason TAAB 2012 isn't being played under the Tull name is because the audience would be louder? Absurd.
When I saw TAAB performed in 1972 it was one of the loudest, rocking pieces of music I've ever heard, there were no more "quiet" moments than on any of their other tours. The audience was louder because in those days Tull drew a 15-20,000 person audience, today ia Tull audience would be a small fraction of that size.
Unless Ian thinks that Jethro Tull will reunite after this tour, why can't he simply explain that the reason TAAB is being played under the name Ian Anderson is because the band Jethro Tull no longer exists.

That is hilarious. Jim you added to my laugher.
You all know what this means. *packs airhorn in backpack*
But really, this could have just been a thought that Ian said in passing that the websites hyped up to be more than it is. It's a ridiculous remark, but he may have not intended it to be the "official" reason. That is my optimistic side.
Pessimism tells me he is becoming senile.

I feel for Ian, because I would hate to play music that I consider a very personal piece of sensitive art to an audience that can't quiet down when the music requires it. It's just the same as driving in a car with someone who turns on really loud music and then tries to make an even louder conversation over that loud music. Pointless, insensitive and nerve wracking.
But the sad thing about it is that Ian can't expect much else from some people in the audience. Certainly not all of the audience, but it doesn't need many to really piss one off.
So what would you do if you wanted to bring something to a live audience without the audience being loud and noisy? He obviously had the experience that IA-audiences are quieter than Tull-audiences.
I guess I would do the same...but probably with Martin if I had the choice. ;-)

Rare video footage. Hey, these are great! I probably watched that first interview back in the day. The second is from GTK, which was a popular 5 to 10 minute segment that used to be on TV around 6:30. Ian needs to "spin back down the years" and look at his younger idealistic self!!! Note Ian says he rewrote the last 18 minutes of TAAB! Also, he freely talks about the forthcoming and not yet recorded "A Passion Play"!

With all the great things Ian Anderson has said over the years, I will cut him some slack on this latest article. When people go to work they always complain about something including noise. The world of Rock used to be distracting on many levels. Ian was trying so hard to entertain and he must have felt disrespected by those who were over exuberant. I wonder when he would say things on stage at a low volume to get others to turn it down a notch. However, this is not classical music and to think that reflects poorly on his understanding of Rock. When you see thousands of fans screaming and hollering in appreciation of what you do, ENJOY IT. We paid for the right to have fun.
