It hurts seeing this, (just after having seen the video"Thick as a Brick" , (elsewhere on you tube), from Madison Square Garden (1978)), Ian Anderson looking like an old gangster, with no voice left. Nowadays he tours the world around looking like a pirate and still with no voice left. It´s like looking at someone who isn´t Ian Anderson. Sad.
God how I wish that this was preformed on the day that I was born. It would at least give me some sort of connection to the musical prowess that was TULL
I'm amazed at the shallowness of the criticism, here. Clothes? Hair? The man remains one of the most imaginative, multi-talented people to ever walk onto a stage. I'm not a groupie - I'm a seasoned, pro musician who played every style imaginable for decades.
Please...get your head out of your trendy ass and recognize an imaginative, timeless presence when you see one.
It's a good song, but I can't stand the extremely cheesy '80s rock sounds and instrumentation heard here. The trebly bass, the reverb microphone, the chorused guitar, and most of all, the god-awful keyboards! Ugh.
Beautiful,scoobedoo,what class.I First recall this, Sunday , Summer of '72, Newport Jazz Festival. Was with my heavenly stagecall in a cave, as he missed his festival call with uknowho. Didn't know 'til 28 years later. I Didn't go with him cause I thought I was dreamin' a dream too good to be true. Naw, it couldn't be real. He was just a kid, who happened to be hiding out from his Uncle Bobo What a feeling to remember. That's my sunday feeling, hope you don't mind my sharing. THX.
I have seen the band 31 times since 1972 and have met Ian, Andy, Peggy, Doane, Martin, wifey Shona Anderson more than once. The Jolly Jethros are as much fun off stage as they are on. Martin is THE MOST underrated musician on our planet and is as modest as the day is long.
@VinBishop51 How did you meet them!? Do they hang around after shows? Is it crowded? Do you have to wait long? 20 questions, I know, but I am going to see them next Tuesday - would like to hit a homerun!
After reading all the negative comments about such a great band and a genius musician/composer, I suppose you people could do so much better---what a bunch of assholes...I assume you wouldn't make a pimple on Ian's ass...
for a man who ran the whole show for the band i think he is still aat the topof his game.why should on uit because of time , grow up, roll astoney and enjoy!
omg, i know the keyboard player, soo weird seeing him on a vid.. he did rather appreciate himself but was funny i guess.. couldnt figure out whether i wasnt bothered to see him play lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dreadful voice. Dreadful clothes. Dreadful hair. Ian Anderson should have retired after his voice problems started back in 1984. This is just too painful to watch so I'm off to view some older clips. Farewell!
I'd hate to agree with you, but...I have to say I agree with you!! Watch tull clips between 1976 -79, absolutely phenomenal;and that's how I like to remember them. Fair play to Ian for keeping Tull going all this time though, but I saw them last year on their UK tour and I was very disappointed;his voice has gone altogether now
I am afraid you are extremely wrong. Ian no longer rocks he just looks and sounds dreadful. To carry on loving his hair and clothes in this clip will seriously hold you back in life.
His voice has suffered terribly, but while it's no where near as incredible as it was in the past, I still think he's better than SO much stuff out there. As for his clothes, please, when could you EVER accuse him of looking good? From codpieces in the 70s to whatever the hell those suits were meant to be on the A tour. He's better dressed in "So much Trouble" than I've ever seen him :P
Ian's voice was still halfway decent up through the Catfish Rising tour in 1991. After that I would have to agree, though. Then his vocals REALLY died !
Ian's voice started thinning as far back as Heavy Horses in '78 - You can hear him straining, and getting raspier By Stormwatch and A, it wasn't as deep as before, especially Warchild. But yes, '83 seems to be about when it just went to total shit.
but he did have an okay acoustic voice at least untill 87, listen to the wond'ring aloud version from 20 years... but nowadays it all sounds like shit. at least his writings gone better, and that's what we really should focus on.

Tull should now be re-named as "The Ian Anderson Band"... So many changes. The keys and Bass are now session musos - lol....
