I don't even know what to say anymore, except isn't 'rock-opera' a good way to describe what Ian's been doing these past years? I suppose this is what Ian conjured up on January 1st. Well at least there will be no debating the use of the name!

Well at least there will be no debating the use of the name! And once again Ian is way ahead of his time. April 1st is still a few weeks away!

Ian Anderson celebrates the life and times of the English Agricultural inventor, Jethro Tull, with the announcement of a new series of concert tours beginning September 2015. The shows tell the story of the original Jethro Tull’s life, reimagined as if in the near future and illustrated with Anderson’s best-known songs from the rock band Jethro Tull’s repertoire. The performance is in a quasi-operatic structure with virtual guests on video and some additional newly-written songs to round off the elements of the story. Heavy Horses, Farm On The Freeway, Songs From The Wood sit alongside Aqualung, Living In The Past, Wind-Up, A New Day Yesterday, The Witch’s Promise, Locomotive Breath and other favourites – often with slightly re-written lyrics to better tell the tale. Accompanied by David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums) and surprise virtual guests, Ian Anderson begins the touring schedule in the UK followed by Russian, European and South American dates before the end of the year.

Ian needs to retire before he starts shitting himself onstage.
P.S. Note to Ian: You sound absolutely dreadful singing anything pre-1983. I get embarrassed for you when you struggle. Plus, there is not one band member I give a damn about. It was a new day yesterday, but it's a bloody old day now.

That's like telling a Mechanic to stop wrenching, a Teacher to stop teaching. Livingston Taylor 9/14/1973, opening for Tull at Cobo Hall Detroit, MI. "How would you like someone showing up at your place of employment yelling BOO! at you?". Ian is going to work everyday, and so am I. I'm not as spry as I used to be but, I'm passing on what I know to the next generation. Play On Ian! ..and thank you for being an important influence in my life. B

Considering Ian has a guitarist that looks to be from American Idol playing generic metal riffs in place of Martin Barre's work, it seems American Idol is better suited for you.

Nor am I convinced he would ever be completely done. Okay, correction. I'm sure he'd say "Thank you", but he wouldn't mean it. As for "Nor am I convinced he would ever be completely done." Hey, it was my last beer, and I was completely done! I'm just sayin' (famous last words), you never know with this old bastard, Ian may just have a little gas left in the tank. Might even make us eat our words.

But I did buy A Passion Play remix, which was actually money well spent (in hindsight, perhaps JT should have just foregone releasing War Child and instead made a two record set of APP). I might buy MitG remixed as well. I'll see how it sounds first.

I passed on the APP remix because I'm still satisfied with the Mobile Fidelity remaster that I bought years ago (heard the remix though, and I like it). War Child, meh!, the same, I'm good. But I'm very interested in the MitG remix. The guys were really pushing the envelope musically on this one. Jeez, the discipline.
