You may place it anywhere you see fit there tt. I just thought it would be nice to have easy access over to the official tour schedule. Thanks for posting that btw, but I'm afraid I couldn't afford 25 thousand drams to go see Tull. Ouch! ;D |

Again, shi...this thread seems to hide... ;D Cancel this thread - thanks: thejethrotullboard.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tours&action=display&thread=1364www.shieldsgazette.com/livereview/Jethro-Tull-Gypsies-Green-Stadium.6538628.jpJethro Tull, Gypsies Green Stadium, South Shields Published Date: 18 September 2010 By Paul Clifford THE Great North Run weekend got off to a great start last night with a huge rock concert. Jethro Tull, the legendary prog-rock band, played at Gypsies Green Stadium in South Shields. A massive marquee was set up in the athletics stadium for the band, which played a two-hour set to a rapturous audience. First up though, were local rockabilly legends Bessie And The Zinc Buckets. The band, fronted by Kev Charlton, got the 2,000-strong crowd going with a rousing set of rock and roll covers. After 45 minutes of songs from Sun Records - the label Elvis Presley first recorded on - and other 1950s classics, the band gave way to the Tull. The Gypsies Green marquee was packed for the prog-rock legends, and they weren't disappointed. Over two hours, Jethro Tull, fronted by the rock world's most famous flautist Ian Anderson, wowed the crowd. The band mined the deepest depths of their recording history, which goes back to 1967, by playing tracks from early albums Aqualung, This Was and Benefit. Throughout the gig, frontman Anderson was front and centre, showing off his flute, harmonica and mandolin skills. And on tracks like Aqualung, and the epic Thick As A Brick, guitarist Martin Barre made sure the crowd knew how good he is. He looks unassuming, but the goateed guitarist could be seen as the heartbeat of the band. He frequently took centre stage, and his riffs and solos were the platform for Anderson to take his flute flights of fancy. Of course, the band is best-known for singer Anderson's flute work, and he didn't disappoint. Throughout the set, which took tracks from the band's early days as well as more recent songs, the frontman was a livewire. He broke into his trademark one-legged dance on more than one occasion, and was rightly applauded for it. Anderson's energetic performance really sums up the band as whole - effervescent regardless of their years, and determined to put on a good show. Jethro Tull warmed up a cold autumn night, not to mention their hundreds of South Tyneside fans. |

It was an awesome Tull show last night. It started out a little weak with Thick as a Brick...Martin was awesome...then they went into Farm on the Freeway, Songs from the Wood, Ian finally gets it that he needs to lower the key when he sings. He sounded better than he has for years last night. He went through the entire Aqualung album. I'd never heard Up to Me and Hymn 43 live. He changed up the mix of it a bit ...slow at 1st then it went into a full blow rock song. He sang Budapest perfectly, and finished up with Wind Up and Loco Breath. It was a great show.  |

I've got to see Ian Anderson and Greg Lake get together at the Salisbury Cathedral in December 2012! The official Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson website says tickets will be released August 8th (what? Why make us wait 6 months?). Does anybody know how to (what channels, etc.) one can access to ensure getting tickets? Would we be buying it directly from the Cathedral? Help! In the immortal words of Steve Martin --- "Me Want Go!" Anybody else on this board thinking of going? Love to meet up in Merry Old England for the holidays! Signed, a very happy NY Giants fan who has been voluntarily exiled to California for the past 34 years! Phil "The Whistler"

Man, I would give anything for Ian Anderson to put on another show in Vancouver. He did one early last year, when I was JUST becoming a fan... I now know what I've missed... and also now have the money!

Publicity blurb from the Denver Performing Arts Centre "JETHRO TULL’S IAN ANDERSON PLAYS THICK AS A BRICK 1 & 2

AEG Live is thrilled to announce IAN ANDERSON live at Temple Buell Theatre Tuesday, October 23, 2012
TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, MARCH 9 AT 10AM!!!
Prog Rock? Prog Rock? In 2012? Are you serious? Well, yes actually – although let’s use the original term ‘progressive rock’. Cast aside all prejudices as Jethro Tull’s singer / flautist / composer Ian Anderson explains what led him to revisit the genre some 40 years after the ground-breaking Tull album Thick As A Brick.
In the early 1970s bands like Yes, Genesis, ELP and King Crimson were pushing musical boundaries. The arrival of punk cast a shadow over a style of music that admittedly was becoming self-indulgent and pretentious, and the term Prog Rock became somewhat derogatory. But, Ian explains, “To me, anything is progressive if you are trying to take things on into a slightly new dimension, and draw upon different influences and push them into something that fits your own sense of inventiveness and your own career progression. So ‘progressive rock’ is a fine title.”
Jethro Tull’s short ‘prog rock’ era peaked with 1972’s Thick As A Brick, a 45-minute continuous piece of music charting the difficulties of a child growing up and confronting a frightening and unfair world. The album was encased in a spoof local newspaper The St Cleve Chronicle, with a headline story that a precocious schoolboy called Gerald Bostock had been disqualified from a poetry competition because of the inappropriate nature of his epic poem, which Tull then allegedly used as the album’s lyrics. Ian explains that the idea stemmed from the critics’ descriptions of 1971’s Aqualung as a ‘concept album’, even though it was just a bunch of songs a few of which had common themes. “In the light of the Aqualung reviews I deliberately set out to do a concept album that would in essence be a bit of a parody of other people’s concept albums and grandiose progressive rock adventures. I thought let’s take this slightly arrogant and pompous way of writing and presenting music to an extreme, with the fiction of a then 10-year old boy having written the lyrics. Of course it’s preposterous and really quite silly, but it was the era of Monty Python, when that sort of surreal British humour was quite well embedded in the British psyche.”
The album was a world-wide success, including a No 1 spot on the American Billboard chart, and excerpts from the piece have regularly featured in Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson live shows. But Ian had steadily resisted record company suggestions that he write a follow-up. It was not until a chance encounter in 2010 with old pal Derek Shulman of Gentle Giant, who nagged him to consider a 40th anniversary sequel, that Ian gave it some serious thought – and surprised himself by not dismissing it out of hand this time. He had noticed that in recent years his audiences had been changing. “It wasn’t just old codgers, it was kind of a mix between old codgers and young codgers. It really struck me that there was this new wave of interest from youngsters who want something that is an alternative and antidote to the X-Factor and the very repetitive rock music that does tend to be the stuff of today. So I began to feel that it was not quite as undignified as I had earlier supposed to be doing something that was more in that kind of progressive vein.”
In February 2011 Ian spent a couple of days sketching out some ideas. “It was predicated on the idea of what might have befallen Gerald Bostock, this precocious child, where would he have headed in life? And the more I started thinking about that the more I thought that there were so many pivotal moments in my own childhood where, often quite by chance, I might have gone in one direction or in some completely opposite direction. I could have been anything from a soldier or a sailor or an astronaut to a thespian or a silviculturist - although when I left school I actually tried first to join the police force and then to be a journalist on the local newspaper, before music took over while I was at art college.
“So I imagined Gerald Bostock as this 10-year old kid entering into puberty who, by the look of the young male model who was photographed in 1972 as the notional Gerald Bostock, was obviously a rather swottish schoolboy who probably wasn’t very popular at school and probably wasn’t very good at sports. What sort of opportunities would he have had, who would he have been, what would he have been led towards? I started to write a number of scenarios, including a piece looking at his possible early life immediately post-puberty, and then another piece later on for each of these characters that Gerald might have become, leading through to adulthood. Then in the latter part of the album I drew all these things back into a common kismet-karma kind of future where, in spite of all these chance interventions, there is maybe some element of fate and we all end up where we were going to end up anyway, in spite of the fact that we may have taken some radically different roads along the way.”
From that loose concept emerged TAAB 2. Recorded in November 2011 with Florian Opahle (guitar), John O’Hara (keyboards), David Goodier (bass) and Scott Hammond (drums), musically Ian has very deliberately echoed the feel of the 1972 album by using many of the same instruments, including a lot of acoustic guitar and lashings of Hammond organ, and to a large extent recording it with the band all playing live together, with the minimum of overdubs and no use of limiters and noise gates and other tricks of the trade, leaving engineer Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) to tweak things himself. And, whilst there are ID points to allow separate tracks to be downloaded from iTunes, it is a continuous 53-minute piece of music with recurring musical themes.
Also echoing the 1972 album, and the St Cleve Chronicle newspaper sleeve, the 2012 album is housed in a mock-up of a local news website www.StCleve.com, which Ian designed himself in a deliberately not-too-professional pastiche of community websites (and which will be accessible online, with an area where fans can add their own spoof local news stories). ”It’s light-hearted most of the way through StCleve.com, with lots of fairly vulgar schoolboy smutty stuff, but there are also some serious bits and things that are quite observational of the parochial home counties way of life. There will be some familiar characters like Max Quad, and Angela de Groot who runs a fitness centre now. And there will also be various people known to me and known to the world, although their names are slightly twisted around. But you’ll know who they are….” And the 18-month world tour, starting in the UK on April 14th, will also nod to 40 years ago and what Ian describes as the “amateur dramatics village hall” 1972 stage show with a new theatrical presentation involving videos and character actors.
What is Ian’s view of the finished project? “Unlike the original 1972 Thick As A Brick, the mood of the album is not really a spoof. It’s not a funny thing; some of it is quite heart-aching and serious, and sometimes a bit intellectual, and sometimes a bit upbeat and amusing, but not in a spoof-fun way. It’s an altogether rather more serious work, and even when you think it’s being light-hearted and funny there’s a seriousness behind it.
“It’s observational about stereotype characters. And one of the stereotypes I chose not to make Gerald, at least on the album, was a politician, as it seemed too obvious – although he does appear on the album sleeve as a recently unseated Labour MP who’s come to live in the St Cleve vicinity. He does however appear in other guises like a corrupt Christian evangelist, as an overpaid investment banker with huge bonuses and the kind of person we love to hate these days, and as a casualty of war as a repatriated serviceman helping those less fortunate than himself to acclimatise back into the real world with obviously a very bitter sense of the futility of war. Those are down moments and scary moments. But you need to take people through it. So you sometimes do it in a light-hearted way.
“Somebody may draw the parallel with Quadrophenia, but that’s completely wrong. This is not split personality, this is about totally different characters that we all might have become in our lives. If we’d walked on the other side of the road, or picked up the ‘phone, or read that article in the newspaper, things like that could have changed our lives. And that unmistakably is what happens to people in their lives, the friends they make, the relationships they enter into, perhaps in marriage or whatever else. This is all about – as it says in a couple of places – the what ifs, the maybes and might have beens moments in life.
“One of the pivotal moments on this album is the piece A Change Of Horses, which fans will recognise from our stage shows over the last year or so. It’s about that point in your life where you say, if there’s ever going to be a change it’s got to be now. That happens to a lot of people perhaps in the forties or fifties, and I rather like the idea of this re-gearing, this re-evaluation, and there being a second part in your life where fate draws you to some conclusion. But it’s not just looking back, it’s also about looking forward. The what ifs and maybes were rich and exciting moments in my teenage years, filled with a mixture of promise and sheer terror, because it’s a scary world out there. So that’s what I’m exploring, and I think it works for people at both ends of the age spectrum, for the middle-aged Waitrose trolley-pushing shopper and the pubescent youngster who’s facing some decision-making.”
So just to confirm, from a 2012 perspective, is TAAB 2 a concept album? Ian is emphatic in his response. “Yes, it is very much a concept album! It is a concept album that I think is fairly grown-up and mature, but I think it should ring bells for people of all ages. It’s an intellectual proposition. I’m not sure how many people are going to be ready for that kind of a thing, but I think there will be enough people for it to be a worthwhile record to make. But it’s unashamed in its asking you to think about it and listen to it. Some of the music is pretty straight-ahead which you can just kind of groove to, and some things work without your being too cerebral about it. But the overall concept and indeed lots of the lyrics and parts of the music you are going to have to make a bit of an effort with. I think that some of us like to do that. Combine that with all the detail that’s gone into the peripheral aspect of presenting the album with the artwork, the stcleve.com website and so on, it all wraps up into a big package that I think will give people a lot of fun.”

Hmmmm, where did you see Oct 4? Presumably that's Mohegan Sun...the Tull Tour page doesn't list it and the Mohegan Sun site/Ticketmaster don't go out much past the summer. Ah, never mind, I saw it was on the official tour t-shirt. Funny how that listed all the dates, even before the j-tull.com page  I was hoping they'd come to the Hanover Theater again, but looks like Lynn is the only Boston area show. Oddly, the Lynn Auditorium site didn't let you in @ 10AM today to buy, you had to link in through the j-tull.com listing... |

Good thing I was looking here, I was looking at the Lynn date but Foxwoods is probably closer to me (just checked, yep, it's above Boston) Thinking maybe some of my NY and NJ Tull friends could come join me...maybe...that would be really really fun. Yeah, I got a spouse and a few bff that like Tull but they don't get it...you know? Back in 2004 was some of the most fun I've ever had! Yeah, I don't get out a lot, haha!

Oh we all know all too well, which is why we have to stick together! But unfortunately I'm headed out by Chea - to Italy, so I'm am taking in the show down in St. Augustine in Sept. But I hear there's a party going one in NYC....  |

You can take a train to Grand Central and be here for the show (and pre and post-show festivities), stay over one night in NYC with Kenny for a perfect getaway. We'll take care of the tickets! Jeff |

TM, I'd be lying if I said I am not disappointed. NYC sounds way too adventurous for me. Hi, Holly! The Beacon show is on a Friday...it's the marquee show of the tour, and not to be missed! You can take a train to Grand Central and be here for the show (and pre and post-show festivities), stay over one night in NYC with Kenny for a perfect getaway. We'll take care of the tickets! Jeff Way cool Jeff, I hope she takes you up on that! |

TM, I'd be lying if I said I am not disappointed. NYC sounds way too adventurous for me. I hear ya. But it sounds like a great opportunity has presented itself. And look on the bright side - there will be no make-up ground into the carpet of your car!  ;D We'll have to look at a future show. Maybe 2013? |

Wow, Jeff, that is quite the offer! That is so tempting. One major thing we'd have to consider is Finn being only a year and a half at the time, and we generally do not leave them when they're under two for long periods. My last Tull show was in 2008 and Em had just turned 1 year old. Our friend Tim got me the tickets for a Mohegan Sun show. He and a friend sat somewhere close. I was stuck far away in a sideways facing seat. We brought Em even though it wasn't that far from us so we could've let her stay back with someone, but we didn't. Friend Tim tried to give the other ticket to Kenny but he had Em and just ended up walking around the casino with her. Someone suggested we put her in the child care that the casino has. We just couldn't bring ourselves to do that either. I ended up alone. Well actually, I let a boy around 13 or so sit with me. And made friends with some guy on the other side of me. Because I usually always makes friends with someone new at Tull. I'll have to run it by Kenneth, see what he says, and it will be funny to see him crap his pants over the mere mention of NYC.
TM, hahahaha. Holy jeez, I forgt about that. I think you had no recollection of doing that either...That's the thing, you're kind of rowdy so you don't realize the destruction you're causing. There were broken makeup chunks everywhere. I just remembered something about going in a dive bar and the albino white snake. And the fact Tull was just about to start and I had to practically drag you by the ear across the street to get to our seats.
I remember you got me those fab seats...Dan got us front row...that's why "We'll take care of the tickets" really appeals to me, I suck at getting tickets. I never get anything good except for a one time at Foxwoods..also that night was the second time me (and Jen) had our pictures taken by IA. We have got to be in a scrapbook of his somewhere, huh?
