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.
WOW, Tull peaked, IMO, 1976 Iowa City.
Saw the band at the old Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh a lot of years ago. Just amazing.
I saw them in high school. How can they still be alive?
Saw them at Princeton in the early 70’s. I thought they were over the hill then....
From widipedia:
“Anderson insists he has never done drugs, and never enjoyed being around people who were doing drugs.”
and
“Anderson is a successful businessman away from the music industry, and he has owned several salmon farms. His Strathaird concern[7], based on his estate on the Isle of Skye was worth £10.7 million in the late 1990s, when parts of it began to be sold off. He currently owns a group of companies which reported a gross profit of £1.8 million in 2004, when the Sunday Herald newspaper reported:
He and his wife Shona, the sole shareholders and directors, shared a £500,000 dividend and emoluments, excluding pension contributions, of £850,954. A modest pre-tax loss of £5,806 was booked for the year but the balance sheet shows shareholders funds stand at £3.2m. Income included a payment of £209,517 following one of the rock groups regular checks on its flow of royalties.”
I saw them in Houston in 1978. I wonder if Ian Anderson still plays the flute standing on one leg.
‘Aqualung’ is a timeless classic. We just played that over and over when it came out.
Feh.
Wheelchairs are packed in a separate bus...

Tony Snow and Ian Anderson - Flute duet
Living in the Past
Well, now I’ll be humming Aqualung the rest of the day. :-)
I saw Tull in 1970 & 1972.
About 4 years ago I took my youngest son to see them. They played as well as ever, and we thoroughly enjoyed the show (he was already very familiar with them through his “home-schooled” music education).
I may catch them again this round. Worth every penny, imho.
