I saw the "Thick Of A Brick" Tour when I was eleven. It was in Zurich, Switzerland and must have been around '72 - it was only my third rock concert ever and predictably it blew my mind! :) Understandably I'll always have a soft spot for Tull, and to see and hear Ian talk at length like that is a treat! Thanks for this great series!

I think Ian Anderson is a genius the way he innovated rock music.
-
Well said, I agree.
-
very articulate

Ian is a great interview, a very interesting guy. Although I do not understand his reasoning for giving up guitar. So what, now matter what one does there is always some YOU MAY THINK ARE BETTER but IMO musicians are just different not better than one another.

@faegrrrl Same here, and I was probably born a grumpy but funny old man. I'm starting to refer to myself as Aqualung as I approach the mid 50s :)

He's almost too modest - I think he's a superb acoustic guitarist - the playing on "Minstrel in the Gallery" for example is unsurpassed in all pop music if you ask me.

@pyannaguy What amazes me is that, one, I had the good taste to like them as a kid :) and two, the music doesn't sound at all dated to me. I can't listen to Yes, Genesis, etc these days, it bore the shit out of me, but Tull and Steppenwolf never grow old, and I think that comes from the intelligence and humanity of the front man, as well as being great musicians that would do Bach proud (and did!)

theres definately a beatles influence on benefit.

Great, articulate monologue by a thoughtful, and knowledgable,grumpy guy. Always thought I'd like him. Now I like him more.

I give everything a chance, but, Honest: Jethro Tull was one of those bands from an era when you wouldn't mistake them for anybody else.
And I love what he says about "grumpy people who like to laugh, etc." ...Good stuff! The guy is way original...
