He is so damn smart, articulate and talented! A great storyteller as well. No wonder he made it so big in music! Brilliant fellow! I have always been a fan. Thanks! 👏🏻😎
Strangely enough his song about a homeless guy made him rich. He is a very perceptive storyteller and very talented. Interesting, too! Thanks for this rare interview. 👏🏻😎
@@chrisnolan5607 Wow! I didn’t know that detail! But did she write Bungle in the Jungle or Thick as a Brick? 🧱 Tull is not a one hit wonder band! If she wrote all the lyrics then she is very talented too. But Anderson has a good strong voice and was a great live performer also! So he’s still the main talent and leader of Tull. And that whole mad Flutist balancing on one leg thing he does onstage is very entertaining and you can’t keep your eyes 👀 off him! He was a brilliant live singer and performer! And did I mention he could play a mean Flute as well? Damn good Flautist or Flutist! I’m not sure how it’s said but he was great on it! 👏🏻😎
I'm 66 and listened to JT since I was 12 and after all these years this is the first time ive ever heard him actually speak . What a difference from his stage persona!
Genius singer song writer performer flautist guitarist in his then prime he seems quite shy and a bit nervous chain smoking his way through the interview.
Intelligent, and while he avoided the drugs that so often destroyed bands and careers, his smoking is what probably ruined his ability to sing. I feel very fortunate to have seen them so many times in the 1970s.
Thanks for posting this 1974 interview with Ian Anderson from Australia. I noticed you also have another 1974 interview with Ian Anderson that's 2:13 minutes long. Could you please post that also? Thank you.
Brilliant ... but arrogant and aloof. Can't believe the guy here wrote the Aqualung album. Ian is always putting on an act. He seems to dread giving any real part of himsellf away in his music, and I think Aqualung and Thick As A Brick were the closest he got. Glad he's still going, love the music.
I think just the opposite: only the guy here could write that album and TAAB along with many others. Sheer genius. An artist does not have to be "normal". And very often is not anyway.
Age 27 at the time. Sounds and looks considerably older. Should have cut down on the smoking, might then have avoided chronic bronchitis in later years...

Very insightful and intelligent man.
Ian inspired me to play flute and nylon guitar
as a mid-teen in the mid-seventies.
Nice interview.
Peace on earth.
That leather jacket that voice that cigarette... DAMN!!
Exactly!!!
this is the point in Ian’s life when he is at peak genius, slightly post Passion Play. His output around then is at a level few have ever matched
Definitely!!
in his prime. cooler than cool. pure genius with decades more music to come.
Well spoken and sharp individual, indeed.
Anderson was a very stabile guy.his only vice was chain smoking...he sacked Glenn Cornick for his indulgence for partying...enough said

Ian's first wife Jennie wrote the lyrics for that song

Hey man I have followed the band since 1970, I know all his music, seen them 11 times through various lineups. I even perform a lot Jethro Tull songs.

At TIMESTAMP:

Ian drops a coffee spoon and says "tinkle tinkle"...
GENIUS!!!
It's a shame there isn't more good quality video documentation of the band during the first half of the 70s.
Rather intelligent fellow…
Rather!

Can't believe you have never watched any of his interviews before! Well, better late than never...Now you know better how intelligent he is, I think.
6:30 - Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks Jr. !!!! LOL, dead on!
