Ian is always interesting to listen to.

Jethro Tull. Best concert I've ever been to.
-
Jethro Tull is still one of the best concerts Ive ever experienced
-
I saw him and he was continually moving around on stage, playing the flute and singing. Very energetic Very talented I do have to laugh when I think of an interview with Glenn Frey saying when the Eagles toured with him, They called him “ leaping leotard “

Ian Anderson inspired my daughter to start flute lessons. She was just 7 when I took her to see him at the Bardavon Opera House in the Hudson Valley, NY. She loved playing flute & piccolo & eventually became first flute in Garden State Youth Orchestra in NJ, playing until she went to college/medical school.

I love watching and listening to Ian Anderson playing the flute. I've been a fan for 53 years and had the privilege of seeing him four times starting in 1973 when he was promoting Passion Play. We could even stand next to the stage and watch. I love Jethro Tull and have most of their albumns.

Jethro Tull (baptised 30 March 1674 – 21 February 1741, New Style) was an English agriculturist from Berkshire who helped to bring about the British Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows, and later developed a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many landowners and helped to provide the basis for modern agriculture.

I first saw Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull at the Los Angeles forum in 1973. It was their Aqualung tour and they sold out 3 night in a roll. My seats were so close I could see his expressions without binoculars. One of my All-Time Favorite shows! ☮

One of my musical idols-- tight, complex time signatures, startling syncopation, mind-bending lyrics, and a medieval voice. I'm hearing Thick as a Brick in my head right now 😊.
-
Best band ever ❤ wish I could have seen them live in the 70s
-
Blew my mind to find out he played harp when I finally listened to early Tull 😎🍻
-
I Saw Tull In 79 at TheMeadowlands StormWatch Tour Awesome

A cup of coffee is only as good as the water used for the brew - Anderson

Legend creator.
-
He was so innovative in his composition, his lyrics and in his flute playing. Much of what he did as a self-taught rogue is now considered legitimate and advanced technique.
-
My upbringing was glam rock, now 47 coming I very much enjoy the music with more understanding as an guitar player myself, I always feel drifting away when I hear their music 🎼 ❤peace love rock n roll
-

He's always asked the same questions and he always gives the same answers and he's always interesting.
-
Ian is a musical genius and a charismatic and theatrical entertainer.
