ethro Tull has announced an eight-city North American run in June. The band will kick off their dates on June 4th at Miami's Bayfront Park Amphitheater and wrap things up on June 20th in Highland Park, Illinois at the Martin Theatre At Ravinia. Along the way, Tull will play a two-night Canadian stop on June 18th in Toronto, and June 19th in Windsor, Ontario.
Frontman Ian Anderson says that above all else Tull's shows make for a great night out: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "It's a party atmosphere; people are relaxed. You know, they want to hear the old hits, they want to hear the, you know, new stuff, they just want to have fun. And for us, it's a good opportunity to play them the whole, the whole Jethro Tull history. In a two-hour show, we try and cover all the ground, from the old stuff through to the new songs. And, and we have a lot of fun. You just wouldn't want to shake hands with us afterwards, 'cause we're like bars of soap -- we're so wet with sweat and sticky."

Only interested if Martin Baree and John Evan will be in the group. Ian is a bit of a lefty too.
WOW ... haven’t seen “TULL” since the WAR CHILD tour ... million years ago.
in the shuffling madness.....
SItting on a park Bench
WOW, Tull peaked, IMO, 1976 Iowa City.
I haven’t heard anyone mention Tull since the ‘70s. Great band. I just haven’t thought of them in years.
Saw the band at the old Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh a lot of years ago. Just amazing.
eying little girls with bad intent...
Sittin on a park bench!
Beat me, but not by much!
I still think TAAB is their best, but admit I haven’t heard some of their later stuff.
Only interested if Martin Baree and John Evan will be in the group. Ian is a bit of a lefty too.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ian is not a lefty.
Aqualung, the only Tull song I DON’T like. It would be their only hit.
FANTASTIC!
I saw Tull at the Chicago Stadium in 1978. Awesome.
Bungle In The Jungle
Aqualung, the only Tull song I DON’T like. It would be their only hit

“Too old to rock n roll” got a lot of air time
He's a MONSTER flutist. I have a non-Jethro Tull album of him playing stuff. And with Jethro Tull ... man, the whole group was great. Other than Dave Brubeck's "Take 5" and maybe the theme song to Mission Impossible, "Living in the Past" is the only 5/4 time tune I can think of to be a mainstream hit, and fer sher the only rock tune there. Although one of my very faves of all time is "Fat Man." "Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win."
I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about their tunes. "Aqualung," such a great song. Now I'm going to have to dig out my JT CDs! LOVE that stuff!
I saw them in high school. How can they still be alive?
