Omg! I went to many concerts in the 70's. Ian, you and Jethro Tull was the best show I've ever seen. You are definitely an entertainer.
Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin are two great bands. Ian and Robert are two great singers and lyricists. Robert also plays guitar and harmonica. Why must we have to compare?. Just enjoy the fruits of both. I do!
Ian is being very humble....I do remember Tull touring with Zeppelin....Tull finally headlined and put on a great show
Tull is my number one band. Always was and always will be. And Ian is my number one singer. Always was and always will be. Ian's voice, both speaking and singing, is my favourite. That unique quality of his voice is so special- like no other...Plant, Jon Anderson are singers that I like, too but nobody compares to Ian for me. Flute-playing technique is, well, a technical issue ( actually singing, too,obviously is..)...When I first heard Jethro Tull many years ago, around the LITP era, I fell head over heels in love with the band...with the singing, the flute, the compositions, the lyrics, the general atmoshere of the music, the variety of motifs, the folk, the rock, the classical elements, the arrangements....the list is endless...I could add more, but it's 2 a.m... Old way of flute technique may be wrong technically, but it wasn't wrong in terms of the effect it created. Obviously, Ian knows this much better than I do,I'm sure. Hearing that the "right way " of playing the instrument gives Ian more satisfaction and scope makes me delighted as a devoted fan. Thank you very much for the interview and the video.
Total agreement, Hande. Ian and Co. always set a vibe that was mysterious and timeless - still works for me!
Ian is a fine lead vocalist. But very few people had the lung power and range of the young Robert Plant. Ian's vocals were perfect for his band's material.
What do you think it takes to play a flute the way Ian did? Lung power.... Aqualung power, I mean after all why do you think they called him that...😂
Have you heard Plant sing at LIVE AID? Terrible! Out of tune!
@@johndeagle4389 Plant's voice was shot by then. It was never the same even after '71. He kept on singing, but never had anything like the voice he did in the first few years.
I love Ian's vocals. No point comparing him to others. Very unique.. with the flute was something we hadn't heard before. Great memories of JT shows.
@@Nanooky Minstrel voice - best on A Passion Play, Warchild and Minstrel In The Gallery 🎻🔥🎻
Ian’s voice on those records is amazingly warm and comforting. It lifts you up and carries you away. It also makes you feel safe and again, warm. And buttery smooth.
I've seen Jethro Tull and Anderson perform many times. I was always impressed by his facial expressions and showmanship. Those, along the with the music, always fit the Jethro Tull personna, style, whatever you want to call it.
I've always found his voice very musical and expressive. Whatever his limitations, he more than compensated for, made up for, in the presentation of the songs.
The best flutist in the world had his fingering wrong.... right :D This proves that you can be great, even without learning it the "right way". Also, Ian has one of my favorite voices ever. He is no Plant (even Plant isn't "Plant" anymore voice-wise for a long time), but JT didn't need a Plant, they needed Ian to give us that warm minstrel voice.
I always loved the rich tone and feel of Ian's singing. He handled some very challenging intervals, melodies, changes and progressions with a seamingly joyful ease. And always with a great sense of storytelling and humor. There isn't much left for a singer to do, really. Plus what a flute virtuoso! Rahsaan would back that up. Robert is iconic for his grand banshee wail and not so much for his more delicate folk and ballad capacity. But that side is marvelous too. Glad they both made a go of it and gave us such great and timeless music.
And Ian Anderson had a poetic sophistication, in his writing as well as the way he sang (intelligently).
Ian has a great, instantly recognizable voice and unique style.
Ian doesn't get the credit he's due- the guy is an incredible musician, as well as incredibly unique song writer. The flute isn't really an instrument that lends itself to rock music easily- and Ian made it look so effortlesss- he brought the flute front and center without overkill- and somehow made the flute groove within a rock sound, playing it clean no less- zero effects.
My cold, rainy day just got better listening to Mr. Anderson. Love him. ❤
Jethro Tull was Blackmore’s favorite band.
Ian is one of the finest front men ever and absolutely the most talented. He is one of the grandfathers of the finest era’s of music.
Love ian such a talent and equal to any performer
Ive had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull twice. Absolutely amazing band.
Ian? Robert? Vocals from two ends of the spectrum. I loved RP’s voice. But Ian? Astounding. I’ll take his voice every time. So he should NEVER say he’s NOT a vocalist. No not ever.
The perfect voice in War Child la obra cumbre para mi , gracias friens,from Barcelona España, ♥️☀️♥️
Yes, Warchild and MInstrell in the Gallery.🔥🔥🥉🥉
Always love hearing Ian. He speaks so well and is so interesting.
No one speaks English like the British
Maybe Ian couldn't compare with Plant singing Led Zeppelin material, but neither Robert Plant, nor probably anyone else, could compare with Ian Anderson singing the Tull material. He is possibly the most underrated vocalist.
and song writer . sorry but zeppelin never had an album as good as aqualung .

My dad got me a job at the Anaheim convention center in Anaheim 1970s.. I was told i’ll be working backstage went backstage what do you know.... Ian Anderson, The band Jethro Tull, was back stage it was so crowded I rub shoulders w/ Ian Anderson, i’m saying to myself this is fucking crazy.. The drummer was on the floor w/ a hammer hammering the cement having a good time w/ his mate seem like he was trying to get his feet with the hammer.. I’m thinking I sure would love to share this w/ my friends at high school.. to make a long story short I saw the band backstage like if it was yesterday.. could’ve saw Led Zeppelin in Anaheim I missed it oh well 1970s
I saw a picture with Ian Anderson, Robert Plant and Tony Iommi in an lovely english garden, they had a nice cup of the - really love to hear them doing something together….
Glad the band settled on Ian as their singer. My favorite all-time anywhere rock vocalist (especially in live performance).
Ian Anderson is one of the all 'round Absolute Greats.
Anderson was a great front man! One of the Best
Please, more Ian Anderson interviews 🙌🏽♥️
Great interview I was waiting for the Jimmy page Martin barre studio visit mystery answer but that's understandable Ian's interesting no matter what he says. Ha ha
Ian Anderson...just a class act...
I think Martin Barre would disagree with you.
@@Palosrob I saw Martin in concert here in Everett a couple years ago... He was great and I recorded the show.. Its here on my page..
3:50 More than one job... Harmonica... Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Mick Jagger etc
Is Ian kidding...or just being modest....Plant was Plant....Ian was a WHOLE other stratosphere....
And still is.
Ian has a great voice, his sensibility especially when singing ballads is exceptional. Robert Plant had different strengths, he found his place with a band that fit his style.
Robert Plant is in a league of his own. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers!
That's a few leagues below Stevie Marriott
Great to hear Ian talk about the flute. He rarely talks about it in interviews.
In all fairness, guys like Mick Jagger, Robert Plant et al were pretty decent harmonica players.
he's one of the few greats. multi talented in so many aspects of creating amazing music. no set formula for Ian Anderson, he's a risk taker and can take the path less chosen by so many who just want to stick to what they think the public will want.
Did I not see Eric Clapton
play with J. Tull !
June 28, 1971. OK City
Civic Cntr. YES 1st. Concert
in US?
I find it fascinating that the great Ian Anderson, master flute player, was actually playing it "wrong" for so long. Cool that he has the humility to talk about it.
Maybe he played wrong but it always sounds right!
I never heard the story of Plant singing in Tull for a few numbers in a club. I guess cause it was nearly empty and not many to tell the tale besides Ian and Robert.
Got to give Ian credit. He didn't have to change a thing finger wise given his recording history.
My first car ......1964 Ford Galaxy. 390 with 4 in the floor. Pioneer Supertuner AM/FM/8 TRACK.
RADIO BROKE. PUT IN TULLS AQUALUNG. TAPE GOT STUCK....
BUT PLAYED FINE. LISTENED TO AQUALUNG FOR ABOUT A YEAR. LOL.... THOSE WERE SOME GOOD DAYS. THOUSANDS OF BRAIN CELLS LOST THEIR LIVES.
Ian has his distinctive vocal sound, there is no doubt when a person with any rock history in their cranium knows this is the band Jethro Tull.
Sidenote: l was in Junior High in the early '70s and forever correcting people that Jethro Tully does not sing or is a member of the band.
My mom bought me a set of World Book Encyclopedias,and l would thumb through every book as they came through the USPS.
Now don't get me wrong, l received the first book-A in 1972. And Aqualung had been released in'71. So by the time the J-K book gets to our mailbox it's nearly '73 probably.
I found out who Jethro Tull was by accident actually, like I referred already.
A feller who improved farming methods in England, what 400 years ago.
Most of the farms worldwide are being forced not to grow any crops. ?
Grains shortage worldwide to follow.?
Anderson may not have had the vocal range that plant had but he had so many more strings to his bow and he knows it!.
Ian...extremely informative and interesting discussion!
Blowing one's own horn, moment? Humbling done though😊 great musicians are well worth the attitude🎉
Imagine being one of the most iconic flute players in pop culture for the past 50 years and then realizing you've been doing it wrong the whole time!
Very Cool 😎
Ian's being too hard on himself, but - that's often the nature of an excellent artist: Ian, you did great - and frankly, as a stage performer, in some ways, you still kicked Robert's ass. I think maybe it's a good thing that you got "The Inoculation" of Robert's talents before most others … you at least saw the train coming and had the formidable smarts to respond to it, where as most others just got completely bowled over and swept away …
It amazes me that he won't say that all those years of smoking cigarettes damaged his voice/lungs...
I recon Ian Anderson sleeps in a Gilet, and one of those night caps scrooge wore.
Interesting how he never mentions tobacco products affecting his voice.
For me, vocals have never been primarily about technical perfection in the sense of range or volume or anything, but about charisma. Hard to find a more interesting singer in that respect than Ian Anderson.
👍👍!
I will always associate "Cry you a song" with rainly weather, toolin' around the city and smoking dope : )
I wonder how he thinks about playing the gig with Greg Lake performing Father Christmas..
An open hole flute has a much more rich and warm sound than a closed hole flute.
To different style's .Robert not only had pipe's but t his phrasing was impeccable. Ian's style was vocally amazing as well in Stand Up and Benefit.. After that changed to a more folk Rock and not as daring. Still good but less in your face powerful
What a modest guy, Jethro! Very interesting intrview, just fantastic. Thanks
Who's Jethro?

Clampett already, over there...

Ian was modest here, but not usually.
I remember submitting the question at 4:50 to Ian Anderson, but not the response.
Unbelievably, he answers it at length with all kinds of intersting extra information.
Usually, the guest meanders and the host fails to repeat the actual question, and all is lost.
But Mr. Never Did Drugs Ian stayed on topic.
Still, he never explicitly answers the question!
Oh well, I guess I can extrapolate the answer from the rest of his response.
Zappa once said “people wouldn’t know music if it came up and bit them on the ass”. Ian surely knows.
Ironically Zappa didn't think much of Jethro Tull's music.
@@pCeLobster FZ said himself numerous times that he wasn't a consumer of modern rock/pop music.
Jon Anderson also directed the band, and wrote a lot of the songs
he seems like he is insecure but Ian is a great singer. Hyme 43, My God, Teacher all great vocals
I think hes just being humble, definitely not insecure this man,.... cant imagine someone leading a rock band standing on one leg playing a flute as being insecure
APP is also very good vocally. I heard his Passion Play vocals independently of the accompanying instruments and the singing was very impressive.
and more importantly he wrote them all .
I think he is being humble and also acknowledging that his voice doesn't have all the properties that some other singers have. Ian still has one of my favorite voices and I love the way he sings, but that is a personal thing. Voices can be compared objectively (range, etc.) and not all singers have the same basic capabilities. That doesn't make them worse or make them sound bad.
Same for guitar what Ian's talking about, I was taught by my Classical guitar teacher that all modern rock guitarists (1972 circa) played guitar wrong, turned me off playing unfortunately. Still loved watching Eric Clapton on stage put his thumb over the neck of the guitar and saying in the back of my mind what my ignorant teacher was talking about??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't care, but Ian Anderson was an amazing vocalist for his band, Jethro Tull, and I respect him for it. and He and his band should be in the RRHOF period.
Of course they should be in the RRHOF, but the RRHOF has shown themselves to be a joke so it doesn't really matter.
Ian is a great interviewee.......great stories to tell.....insights into personalities.....fabulous experiences to share.....front-man to one of the true original bands of all time......and plenty of humour to go with it.......
Boy I'll say. I remember an interview with Dave Pegg talking about when he joined the band. They were going through some turmoil at the time and Ian starts telling Dave about everybody in the band, leaving Pegg thinking, "what have I got myself into!" "The amazing thing was", he said, "that he managed to nail each and every person exactly as he described them."
I enjoy Ian Anderson's voice better than Robert Plant .
Don't get me wrong , as I love Led Zeppelin too .
Zeppelin were a collage band, noting More. They were rock stars. Jethrol tull were musicians. There is a difference. 👍🏻 Tull was a better band.
I tend to agree with Anderson's on his comparison to plant .
However , zepplin and tull are totally different
Thankfully. I can't imagine anyone else leading till. I even declared to myself that till is their own genre .
Because I can compare
No one to them .
I love Zeppelin!!
This guy is hard as nails
Ian’s voice was the only one meant for his music
Ian is wrong. He could certainly compete with Robert Plant, both vocally and in terms of stage presence. I'd go so far as to say *no one* had stage presence like Ian Anderson during the glory days. Zeppelin were great in the studio but they just never looked that riveting on stage to me. They were also a bit sloppy live I thought. Blasphemy, I know.
Riveting on stage when I saw them in 1972 !!!
Two different types of entertainers. It’s a matter of one flavour or another. Ian had a compelling voice when he combined it with acoustic guitar in his own unique way. Robert was great as well but apples and oranges in terms of timbre and tonality.
Agreed. I believe that Ian is a more interesting singer than Robert as well. His melodies are far superior for a start AND his voice has tons of character. (flame shield up)
I'm a huge fan of both...bringing their own unique voices to the world of music.
Tull was my 2nd concert, in '76...love their ecclectic contributions to Heavy metal, er, a Horses.
😉
@@chukrock LZ's melodies were not composed by Robert. He was the lyricist, singer and harmonica player. I disagree with your assessment though I like both singers. Maybe it's a matter of taste. Robert Plant did vocalisations not just singing i.e he could use his voice as a sonic instrument and had a much greater range and power and an ability to sing different genres and styles. He could sing slow quieter melodies too. His voice had character all right - just different to Ian's.
This video shows that Ian is an 'armless bloke at certain times.
I prefer his earlier flute sound. Later Tull (Songs From the Wood onwards) sounds too correct to me... IA really is a depressed and depressing pain in the butt. He puts down the competition in any way he can, and implies guilt or folly in everyone, including himself.
Saw
Ti
I think IA is being a little too modest here in his comparison to RP. Ok, RP was the better vocalist but IA wasn't too shabby either, but I think as a front man, IA takes it. Plant did the provocative, strutting thing very well (like Jagger), but IA was a much more engaging front man, and as a musician, is light years ahead of Plant.
Harpo Marx played the harp all wrong, so Ian is in good company.
Ian Anderson is a great singer....and has a better stage presence than Robert Plant !!!!...Zeppelin are one of the greatest and Robert Plant was the King vocalist of the 70's.....but after that he was subpar to Jethro Tull !!!!! Anderson is a nut on stage !!!...Plant from the 80's on , bores me !!!!
Zeppelin is my favorite band....but Anderson is far more talented in so many other ways. Love Tull...and Ian. Please tour one more time!
Agree; never got the chance to see Jethro Tull in their prime. Would love to see them once.
@@redled2677 I saw them in concert in 1972. They were great. I missed seeing Led Zeppelin. Glad I saw Tull.
He has amazing pipes, but as a lyricist Ian, I'd say you're much more interesting than Robert. Oh, and you play guitar AND flute.
Jimmy Page played the guitar and John Paul Jones played the flute. Plant didn't need to play either.
As Ian's hair line failed so did his voice. Stand Up..Benefit.. Aqualung.. Living in the Past were magical for me..timeless
It is mainly a live problem since 1984 on and off. On the new album, his voice is great - hast it's limitations, but the unique charisma is intact.
Not too cool of Ian to start out praising Robert Plant's superior voice, and a minute later say that rock vocalists who didn't also regularly play instruments (read: Robert Plant) lacked the musical authority of singers who also play instruments such as himself (the flute) and Jack Bruce (the bass). Poor form, Ian.
Ian Anderson is too modest.
Jethro Tull so far outpaces Led Zeppelin, it’s ridiculous.
I prefer the old sound of Ian's flute, rougher and dirtier, daughters don't know anything about rock....
And I prefer IA's flute playing post 90, after he got his fingering right, which was manifest in the Divinities and Roots to Branches albums. With the old style of playing, he couldn't have created Divinities , Roots to Branches or even Rupi's dance. In fact, Rupi's dance has some brilliant flute playing ( mostly eastern style) which went largely unappreciated.
Oh MAN! You're too humble lan! l think you're a _hundred_ times more talented than Plant! You're voice is beautiful compared to his, and flute is way harder than harmonica! l'm a 'progger', so Zeppelin was not much of a ''crank turner'' for me. ''l am a golden god''
