Since my adolescence I have been listening to your music. as well as Patti Smith, or AC/DC and OZZY OSBORN. But when it's you and your voice, I'm transported to the beyond... and I start crying with joy. Of course: I'm French and I don't necessarily understand all your texts, even if I have English family, but that makes me HAPPY!!!
Ok, but the band isn't there anymore, either. I bet that guitarist never heard J Tull before they hired him as 'filler'. Martin Barre must be laughing his head off...
@@luiznogueira1579 actually, somewhere around 2012 Martin and Ian split ways as Martin wanted to have his own project where he could compose his own thing, and Ian continued as JTull as a solo project of a kind. They mutually support and respect each other. I watched the concert in Ljubljana and a guitarist was excellent, he continued Martins legacy as he interpreted his riffs and solos with high fidelity, but he aslo put in his own character. The whole band was very tight.
@@fortadelis Yeah, I know they split up, but It wasn't on very friendly terms. Martin said he was tired of having guitar solos turn into flute solos. Guess he just got fed up after 50 years... I don't know who the guitarist you saw was, but this guy's mediocre at best, imo.
Thank you! His vocals arent gone because of his age it is due to injury thats been happening since the 80's if I'm not mistaken. His playing is as hot as ever and he still has great energy. Amazing performer and musician.
I've seen a lot of comments about Ian's voice on these recent tours, and I will admit, it is sometimes painful listening to him still trying to sing this in it's original key, when he clearly can't anymore. It really should be keyed down to D or something (something that won't have to push Ian's voice).
I've seen Tull a half dozen times and they are the best live act I've ever seen. You can tell how much fun they're having by how long Thick as a Brick goes on for. I only saw one show that it was under ten minutes, and once when it went for just over a half hour.
Love Tull and Ian. Went to Tull concerts in the 70's and later in the 90's and he was on it. Saw him a few years back and it was a shock. Should have kept Martin Barres in the band to cover for the voice loss but I admire his tenacity.
1st show TAAB '72 since then about 60 x's, last time in Boston Oct. '23. Exquisite musicianship in ALL aspects. RR HOF F'off. Met Ian in '88 in Inverness, Scotland (see photo). That's outside his fish Factory. Then next year backstage when he signed photo along with Martin. Happy 77th. Never too Old to Rock-n-Roll !!!!!!!!!!!
It's really sad to watch my idol performing at this level. Saw them live last time in Madrid some years back and could 't cope with the fact that he lost his voice. Also, Ian keeps reinventing the wheel versioning his classic too much and too many times. Unfortunately, he's managed to put me off. Something I would not think ever happen to me. I rather watch old videos of one band that once was grand indeed. So sad...
Besides the fact he's not acknowledging the time (in terms of age) abandoning partners of more than 40 years for no other reason than to start anew, especially after, I believe it was 47 years, without conversation (if the stories are true), bothers me. I've been a very big fan for the past 50 years (5 months older that Ian) but without Barre, it's not Jethro Tull.
Lucky people get old. If you're lucky it will happen to you too. He proved himself already. Maybe he just enjoys it now. Should he quit and play bingo?
He is the Hero. Still, after his health issues, do it like this is still better, than many others. I know it can't be, like it was. But heroes are staying against the wall. 😉🙂
Ian Anderson passed the age of retirement!! It is sad to see the ghost of an iconic musician and a solid band. This is a mockery of the heights of the past!!!!
As a lifelong fan, it's very sad that IA can't sing live any longer. Watching this made me think though - if Ronnie James Dio can "appear" live even though he's dead the surely, in 2023 we have the technology to enhance Ian's vocals?
He sacked his long years guitarts Martin Baree N his drummer. He does not want to pay Martin Barre the same money he earns. No he will not take singer.
Why expect someone at this age to be the same as in his 30’s. I would love to see Ginger Baker , Jack Bruce, Leslie West , Leon Russel etc etc for one time , but they are gone. Please accept his shortcomings and enjoy and attend their maybe final gigs.
Ian, te sigo desde los 14 años cuando me compré "Acqualung". Hoy tengo 67. Has sido uno de mis mayores ídolos, un genio musical, uno de los más grandes compositores y músicos del rock mundial pero tu voz no da más, por favor cedele el canto a otro y dedicate a tocar o a componer. Sos demasiado grande para esto.
I've been following his artistry and his life for more than 50 years . I'm a musician and songwriter who eventually left the entertainment industry for something else . I sent him a letter in the 1990s and he responded with a song on his next album . I think he is ignorant about some important things.
Unfortunately It's been that way for many years, in my opinion. Since Martin, Doane, Andy left it hasn't been Tull; feeling more like Ian guesting in a tribute band. I have tickets for spring next year, as the music is always good but it will most likely be my last time, except for charity Christmas shows.
Since the beginning of Jethro Tull, band members have left for various reasons, and new members have come on board. Barimore, Glenn etc. I always considered them to be Jethro Tull. I still like them and Ian loves to perform live. And yes, his voice is as old as some of the songs he tries to sing! It did not hold up well!
He sung" to old to Röcken roll, to young to die. In that Song he kritisiced, that Singers should not to long sing when they are old. And now? His Voice is a torture for the Ears. Flute playing: Still at its best. But ian: Please quiet singing
Oh. My God. The sound is off here, it's really disrespectful to Ian's infinite talent. The drums and guitar are way too loud and way too FAST at times. Ian is the leader, even now. He should lead, and at his own pace! ...and the band should follow. I love you. ❤
Got to agree....unfortunately this isn't Jethro Tull....it's an aged Ian Anderson with a backing band. I get that they have to change the music to suit his voice with COPD but it just isn't right
Travesty of a band. That guitarist is a gunslinger guitarist for hire, none of the character of Martin Barre. How is Anderson not embarrassed by all this?! It’s so sad. I love Tull, but not in the 2000s.
I agree Also I don’t understand how Ian Anderson support these poor members, none of them represent the Jethro Tull legacy and the style , why Ian Anderson is doing the ridiculous whit these guys , why he fired M Barre A Giddings D Perry ? Only for his ego ?
Absolutely garbage, why are people turning out to see this drivel! Tull fans want to keep cherished memories of when they were one of the best live acts in the world, not this rubbish
@@Brian-qg8dg These guys rocked ? , you don’t know anything about good music , for you whatever garbage of rocked you appreciate , poor gay are you, enjoy these mediocres guitarist, drummer and keyboardist and the bassist is nothing special . Ian Anderson has lost all Shame .
At least he doesnt lip sync, but why not get another vocalist in. He can still play guitar, flute and be master of ceremonies. It would make for a better show.
This was hard to watch. Not only has Ian totally lost his voice, I could barely hear the flute. The guitarist was absolutely horrible, just on a different galaxy entirely from the great Martin Barre. This is not the Jethro Tull I grew up with, it's a pale shade of that amazing band. Maybe Ian should consider retiring at this point. He's a well established music legend, he doesn't need or deserve this.
He has COPD which affects his lungs! Maybe if the Eagles paid him for Hotel California he wouldn’t have to work! That doesn’t change the fact that Tull is the best most original progressive band ever. They used to blow the roof off!
@@tonystephens6858 Some similarities have been noticed between "We Used to Know" and "Hotel California." I think its blown out of proportion myself; they're not very close.
Martin Barre has more soul in one finger than this wannabe guitar player has in his whole body. Ian’s vocal problems aside, the rest of the band is completely lifeless.
This is painful. maybe I should audition for lead vocals? Would be weird though. I have tickets for the show in late September. How the hell would that work?
Ian doesn't need the money. I am a 50+ year fan. I love tull. This is hard to watch. Just stay home and enjoy your grandkids. When he did the thick as a brick 2 tour he had a young fellow take most of the vocals perhaps that's what he should do now if he's not going to retire. Because he just can't sing. I mean no disrespect I absolutely love him sooner or later we all have to retire
Painful to listen to, sadly. And I’m a fan 😢. I wish some of these singers could let their ego drop for a minute and realise how awful it is. Still brilliant on the flute as always. I’ll stick to re-runs of Bursting Out and the concert video from that era. Magical stuff.
Saw this tour. Sadly disappointed in the setlist mostly. No Bungle, Cross eyed, Teacher, Skating Away, Thick as a Brick, too Old to R&R, New Day Yest, and a bizarre (knot for the better) version of Aqualung. This version of locomotive wasn't very good either. Knot the biggest fan but big enough to know I should've been familiar with about anything he played. About 1/2 I wasn't.
Ok, this is getting beyond ridiculous. Enough is enough. Jethro Tull is basically a 70's band, I saw them back in the day. Why can't these aging rock/pop stars retire normally? This is so unnatural. And then you have Peter Frampton performing sitting down. I believe Dylan was rolled out in a wheelchair to perform. Diana Ross is coming back, pushing 80. The list goes on. And it's not about the money. There's something very off about this.
There's something very off about this discussion. In fact it is obsolete. Today nobody attends a Jethro Tull, Peter Frampton or Bob Dylan concert expecting a musically perfect show. We go to these concerts out of respect and gratitude towards these veteran musicians for what they have achieved in the past - giving us the mind expanding soundtrack of our youth. If you have a problem with that, don't go, don't watch, don't listen …
I saw them at Nostell Priory in 1984 and they were superb. It saddens me to see them reduced to this. The band are OK, but his vocals are lamentable. If those commenting think that this is good, they have clearly never seen them at their best.
Wow🫣!! Ian is bad,very bad… It looks like he’s playing at a wedding… If I was on a plane and had to watch this I would walk out… Such a brilliant songwriter , composer , To old to rock and roll very sad 😢
We are not going to Jethro Tull gigs nowadays, expecting to see the best performance of their career. We are there in order to show our respect and gratitude. Cheers!
I absolutely LOVE Ian Anderson❤. I’ll listen to him anytime, and I do. (I’m 66 years old)

He obviously lost his voice, but the music, the flute, the groove is still there.
Groove is there but they are lukewarm. No enough energy as it was decades ago.

I like it a lot. Great sound and 70 years old and loved them since I was 12
Stop with bashing !
This is a monument
No one have done what Jethro Tull accomplished !
Respect it
Thank you very much, you couldn't be more right!
Thank you! His vocals arent gone because of his age it is due to injury thats been happening since the 80's if I'm not mistaken. His playing is as hot as ever and he still has great energy. Amazing performer and musician.
, lan Anderson if you're 100 years old, it'll still be him, lan Anderson, and I'll still listen to him because he's the original! A 70-year-old fan
I just heard Martin Barres band and his singer puts Ian Anderson to shame! You can tell he is straining his vocal cords.
For a 75 year old man,he does pretty good.And Martin Barres singer can't hold a candle to Andersons flute playing.
saw them last year..........need Martin Barre who made them TULL!! 2023 now

Yo pienso , que tu deberías callar, tal vez tienes coraje , que el se atreve , y tu no , 😊😊😊
There is no voice to be pushed anymore
@@ricardoayala6334it seems to go deeper than that, he has gone stiff but he can ve rehabilitated if he tries
Wow! He struggled with the vocals. What he once did effortlessly now it’s difficult keeping up. Time is really a cruel thief. Thanks for trying Ian!
I think you are right about his voice the same time can be said about phil Collins very sad
Phil collins is not as bad as Ian Ian even has a weird tempo now
@@sg1770 okay you are correct I got it wrong
I give him credit for still goin, but man, this is rough.
There's no Martin Barre. Why would I watch a Jethro Tull without Martin Barre? I'm not going to! Bye!

Think this was maybe a bad night? I saw Tull earlier this year at Northern Kin - they thundered through this!
Ian’s voice is terrible now. I think nowadays you better should attend a Martin Barre concert to enjoy Tull music!
