Tull is really phantastic! Thank you for posting!

Saw Tull on this tour. Ian did the concert in a wheel chair which would have been difficult for him. Still a fine show with lots of songs from Stand up which I promptly went out and bought, aqualung, thick as a brick (about 8 minutes of it) and a rushed encore of Locomotive Breath because of some archaic noise law in this country (not that the venue was anywhere near a residential area).

The same thing happened when I saw them in Canberra

That's TOO funny! She totally deserved it. After insisting three times that the "40+ rock star" shouldn't be jumping around on stage... disregarding his (eternal) sex-appeal, calling him old, she gets: "...but there you go; four out of five limbs in good working condition, who could complain?" :-) Hilarious!

[Ayrshirenutter]

this sounds like the start of his voice going

[KingHellstrings]

It had started going in 1982... this actually sounds quite good!

[Gregsynth]

1982? No way man, his voice started getting screwed up on the Under Wraps tour of 1984.

[KingHellstrings]

Listen to some of the live stuff on the Broadsword tour, and even the "Songs From the Wood" from the Slipstream video... his voice is much more nasally than in the 70s.

[Gregsynth]

I have listened to Ian live on the Broadsword tour--yes his voice was a bit nasally. That's the sign of too much touring. The nasal tone disappeared after the tour (he rested up). I'm talking about when he blew his voice out on the Under Wraps tour. His voice was still in wicked shape for Walk into Light, and Under Wraps.

[Gregsynth]

1984, not 1982.

@Ayrshirenutter Yeah, I saw them 3rd row on the Broadsword tour (got the tee-shirt and everything.. ahh the good old days) and Ian's voice was completly shot. However, the flute playing was amazing along with everthing else. Still disappointing though.

thanks for this--ive seen Tull numerous times

[lizaelliot]

I run and teach a Pedorthic Pre-Certification class and always start the lecture on compression therapy with a pic of Ian Anderson in compression stockings and the DVT story (and no one has identified him from the pic yet...)
