I became a fan after Stand Up was released. The first time I saw them Benefit had not yet been released. I've seen them several times since then. One of the best.

Tull is my favourite band since I became aware of them, that was in the 80s when I was 16.

1977 first show. I have been to over 200 Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson solo shows now. Seen Tull many times in Massachusetts.

Dropped some mescaline at the Garden in 72 me and JT were flying that night,and at 68 I still feel the buzz thanks Ian !

Ian, I love your music and energy, ALWAYS!

I have seen Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson over 40 times.First tour was 1972. This video is the point in his career where he is struggling vocally. If think it was the Under Wraps tour a couple of years earlier that did him in. His voice got progressively worse over time. Oddly enough he continued to tour almost every year, usally performing every night. Now at 75 he continues to carry on. Unfortunately, he should not be performing. Because he simply can't sing. As someone who recognized him for the musical genuis, and wordsmith that he is, it pains me to see him try to perform at this point. Just feel fortunate to have seen him in the glory years, 1972-1979.

I think it would help already if he would perform less. He can still sound good on a lucky night, but most of the time the voice seems strained. He is still a very charismatic singer in the studio, probably after some rest from touring.

I'm afraid his voice is now shot. If you are going to see him live now make sure its after a rest day on the tour, otherwise you may not hear him at all.

Yeah, I remember these tours. His voice was bad, but now it is terrible. I stopped going to shows. There were some good tours after this mess. It was into the 2,000s when it was really terrible some nights. Ian should just play instruments and hire a singer from a cover band if he want to still tour. He must be about done in any case. How old can he still possibly be and still tour?

@@robinblackmoor8732 He is a few years younger than Mick Jagger. His style of flute playing also involves the voice, and former Tull keyboarder Peter-John Vetesse thinks that strains his voice more than singing, because more air must pass the vocal chords to also power the flute. So I think he really should concentrate on studio work and play live occasionally with enough time in between to recover the voice.

One of the hardest song to play. Salute to those musician that did this perfectly!

"Crossfire", Flyingdale Flyer", "Working John, Working Joe" and "Black Sunday" are my favorite songs on that "A" album. Ian Anderson turns 76 years young tomorrow August 10, 2023. Happy Birthday Ian.

How exciting! Perfect way to kick off a Friday afternoon!

Thank you Lord for giving us TULL!

One of my favourite tracks for sure - so interesting musically. Love air drumming to it! 😂👍

Wonderful !!!!!

Hello from the Rockies!

My all time favorite band. I saw them 10 times

I would dispute that. I am past 200 Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson shows at this point. That is how many shows of your favorite band you go see. I only stopped because Ian's voice is just wrecked. He should just play instruments now and hire a singer from a cover band, like Journey did.

The first time I heard "Black Sunday", I replayed it for days on end. Still grabs me by the chakras, every time I hear it.

My favorite song from “A” 👍

Best Band ever .. in all the line ups ... Ian you are a genius

One of my absolute favourites, but I prefer the older version where Ian's flute solo towards the end is preceded by Martin's guitar solo and then they play together.

Didn't know that song, it"s a good one!

Absolutely, fabulous performance music. Favourite artist. Excellent sound quality music. Thank you. Good time for you. Master Ian Anderson.

Love this song! It really tells a tale. 💚

One of my favorite songs from a fantastic, if sometimes underrated album!

Love his songs and playing his flute. Awesome!!

Thank you Ian your music!! 👏🏿👍🏾💪🏿🎶🎶🎶💜🇦🇷

Super performance!👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

I have my tickets for an upcoming show in Lincoln CA, so excited! Never seen them live..they've been one of my favorite bands since the late 80's when I first heard them in college. 😊

One of my favorite songs! Great!!

Sensacional!!

Excelente. Jethro en vivo es de lo mejor. ASaludos desde Argentina.

Phenomenal song from the master

Hello from Austria 😂

ALWAYS SO AWESOME

Awesome sound!

Genius!

Estem esperant... from Barcelona !

I love that they maintain the ratio of the video in 4:3. It look so good when I play this on my CRT tv using screencast

Wow! Amazing as always!

Wow!

A vocoder? Groovy !

Happy birthday sir

happy birthday Ian... may God bless you Aug 10th

Brilliant!!!

Ei! Está chegando o aniversário de meu grande amor! Pensa que eu esqueci? Lindo! Lindoooooo! estou contando os dias para o seu show em São Paulo 13 04 2023

I like it.jethtro tull my brain in vaine. Neex jisus.🙏🙏👍

Immortali ❤

A voz e o sintetizador combinaram perfeitamente assim como a flauta e a guitarra.

I love that he is not singing beyond the male range.

And now something completely different. This is Tull's most and perchance only popular song in mainland China.

Love JTull, though "A" among my least favorite albums in the catalog. Nonetheless, Black Sunday is an absolute romp and Tull classic. This is a pretty good performance of it.

Tempo foi implacável com a voz do Ian 😔

Yeah it sure did a number on him. Time is vicious.

Ian's voice sounds bad here. Word has it, it was lost for good during the Under Wraps tour in 1984

Not Jethro Tull anymore. Best you can call them is the Ian Anderson band!
