Are you serious...???

@@godo5357 Perform that well, at 76, you will not. (And most likely not at any other age, either.)

@@lucisferre6361 you re wrong...check out my new album On time by Godo&..😄

Groove is there but they are lukewarm. No enough energy as it was decades ago.

Ok, but the band isn't there anymore, either. I bet that guitarist never heard J Tull before they hired him as 'filler'. Martin Barre must be laughing his head off...

@@luiznogueira1579 actually, somewhere around 2012 Martin and Ian split ways as Martin wanted to have his own project where he could compose his own thing, and Ian continued as JTull as a solo project of a kind. They mutually support and respect each other. I watched the concert in Ljubljana and a guitarist was excellent, he continued Martins legacy as he interpreted his riffs and solos with high fidelity, but he aslo put in his own character. The whole band was very tight.

@@TheBluesman511 certainly not, but it was still a very good concert worth attending (I was on a tour but in Ljubljana in June)

@@fortadelis Yeah, I know they split up, but It wasn't on very friendly terms. Martin said he was tired of having guitar solos turn into flute solos. Guess he just got fed up after 50 years... I don't know who the guitarist you saw was, but this guy's mediocre at best, imo.

They are founded in (London) England. K.M.A.49437

He's going to be here in Sacramento next month at a 300 capacity club. It's so sad that I've never seen him before when I've had *so* many opportunities over the decades... and yet, hearing this.... I just don't think I'm gonna go.

I know they're an English band. England puts out great bands. So does Canada and Australia and some others.@@thomasmcdermott.3617

who cares man its jethro tull

Yo pienso , que tu deberías callar, tal vez tienes coraje , que el se atreve , y tu no , 😊😊😊

There is no voice to be pushed anymore

​@@ricardoayala6334it seems to go deeper than that, he has gone stiff but he can ve rehabilitated if he tries

You're welcome, Tony. Let's see what kind of a shadow you will be at the age of 76.

​@@andreasturner6164awesome😂

@@andreasturner6164 and he,s playng the flute better than ever. The knew arrangement for Aqualung is unbelievably good.

there is nothing wrong with his voice. the audio is crap

@@elektrolyte - it's his voice - it gone!

​@elektrolyte he's out of time with the band and can no longer sing in this key. That has nothing to do with audio.

Thank you very much, you couldn't be more right!

Thank you! His vocals arent gone because of his age it is due to injury thats been happening since the 80's if I'm not mistaken. His playing is as hot as ever and he still has great energy. Amazing performer and musician.

Danke für den Daumen hoch 🥰

Bin da absolut bei euch ... aber es tut fast körperlich weh, wie vergänglich doch so eine Stimme sein kann.

Thank you! That’s a very intelligent comment. You couldn‘t be more right!

For a 75 year old man,he does pretty good.And Martin Barres singer can't hold a candle to Andersons flute playing.

Phil collins is not as bad as Ian Ian even has a weird tempo now

@@sg1770 okay you are correct I got it wrong

Emporers new clothes syndrome, dare anyone say, but hes out of tune

I am so sorry, but I have to agree. I rather watch older videos.

Besides the fact he's not acknowledging the time (in terms of age) abandoning partners of more than 40 years for no other reason than to start anew, especially after, I believe it was 47 years, without conversation (if the stories are true), bothers me. I've been a very big fan for the past 50 years (5 months older that Ian) but without Barre, it's not Jethro Tull.

Lucky people get old. If you're lucky it will happen to you too. He proved himself already. Maybe he just enjoys it now. Should he quit and play bingo?

​@@jackempson3044of course!

@@stona9222 I Never thought I'd stop seeing Tull, but I did a few years ago, mainly due to the voice.

Parris is the worst guitarist I ever heard . Un pistolero .

That is true but his voice is long long GONE~~~~~~

Are you on medication?

Unfortunatly... awful voice...

Are you drunk?

Awesome terrible( his voice is wrecked)

As a lifelong fan, it's very sad that IA can't sing live any longer. Watching this made me think though - if Ronnie James Dio can "appear" live even though he's dead the surely, in 2023 we have the technology to enhance Ian's vocals?

He sacked his long years guitarts Martin Baree N his drummer. He does not want to pay Martin Barre the same money he earns. No he will not take singer.

Неужели все дело в деньгах?)

Why expect someone at this age to be the same as in his 30’s. I would love to see Ginger Baker , Jack Bruce, Leslie West , Leon Russel etc etc for one time , but they are gone. Please accept his shortcomings and enjoy and attend their maybe final gigs.

is it true that Martin was not even invited to the 50th anniversary reunion?

Está haciendo el ridiculo no te das cuenta y poniendo el nombre de Jethro Tull en la mierda .

Why? An old musician who still has fun.

You have got to be kidding? His voice is totally gone.

@@toolsgear2695 - totally? funny I hear it just fine.

It’s quite difficult to go from a life of performing to just living normally.

Got to agree....unfortunately this isn't Jethro Tull....it's an aged Ian Anderson with a backing band. I get that they have to change the music to suit his voice with COPD but it just isn't right

So the question is how would you feel about a full time singer to replace Ian? Maybe Ian could sing a few songs in his current range and leave the remaining songs to the other singer? Foreigner got a replacement singer and he is awesome. Lou Graham just physically can't tour anymore. But the new version of the band rocks. What do you all think?

When they were making the under wrap album is when is problems began, I read somewhere that they wanted him to take a year off to rest his vocal chords, but he kept on and the damage kept piling on an on until we have what we have today. Anyway this was an article I read years ago, whose knows what's what anymore.

@@locomotivebreath2831 personally I think it's also ok to just hang it up and call it quits and let the band just retire.. Like is there even any other remaining actual semi original members it in? To often they just keep dragging on. I am not up to date on their current material either but 99% of the time bands that are this many years in don't really release anymore interesting new music that anyone seems to care about anymore and their main driving fan base is dead or dying off with maybe a few new fans added here or there but nothing to sustain them. So like earlier in a bands career if they need to replace someone and everyone is good with it go ahead, but now just retire the who band and call it quits my opinion with no disrespect meant.

I'm not sure a lower key is the answer...it seems like his voice has lost all flexibility...the timing is off too. Maybe that's related but he seems to have some voice damage

@@GuaranteedEtern Well like I said it's sad but maybe it's time to have a farewell tour and retire the band. Not sure if there are any other remaining members and I get he loves what he does but you gotta know when to call it a day. Like someone else said maybe they could get a full-time singer and he could just play all the instrumental parts he plays and maybe since a song or 2 but like in my opinion why. Just do the farewell tour and go enjoy retirement lol.

He actually doesn't have COPD. He said more recently that he was mis-diagnosed.

Why should the Eagles pay him for Hotel California? Am I missing something?

@@tonystephens6858 Some similarities have been noticed between "We Used to Know" and "Hotel California." I think its blown out of proportion myself; they're not very close.

You don't understand the meaning of the word mockery.

LOL, best comment here.

Unfortunately It's been that way for many years, in my opinion. Since Martin, Doane, Andy left it hasn't been Tull; feeling more like Ian guesting in a tribute band. I have tickets for spring next year, as the music is always good but it will most likely be my last time, except for charity Christmas shows.

Since the beginning of Jethro Tull, band members have left for various reasons, and new members have come on board. Barimore, Glenn etc. I always considered them to be Jethro Tull. I still like them and Ian loves to perform live. And yes, his voice is as old as some of the songs he tries to sing! It did not hold up well!

I saw them in Boston last night. My 11th Tull show since 1971. Sadly I agree fully. It was like saying goodbye to and from the stage.

He sung" to old to Röcken roll, to young to die. In that Song he kritisiced, that Singers should not to long sing when they are old. And now? His Voice is a torture for the Ears. Flute playing: Still at its best. But ian: Please quiet singing

Age has come, the voice is no longer the same... he's not like the legendary Ozzy. But still commendable, he is willing to play a show

um.. no. I saw him 15yrs ago and he was fumbling.

Shhhh

Scusate Jethro Tull Estival jazz Lugano 2005

I agree Also I don’t understand how Ian Anderson support these poor members, none of them represent the Jethro Tull legacy and the style , why Ian Anderson is doing the ridiculous whit these guys , why he fired M Barre A Giddings D Perry ? Only for his ego ?

He may be related to Jeffrey Hammond.

Absolutely garbage, why are people turning out to see this drivel! Tull fans want to keep cherished memories of when they were one of the best live acts in the world, not this rubbish

I was at the Greek Thester in L.A. last night, 9/27/23. They may not be like the originals, but these guys rocked.

@@Brian-qg8dg These guys rocked ? , you don’t know anything about good music , for you whatever garbage of rocked you appreciate , poor gay are you, enjoy these mediocres guitarist, drummer and keyboardist and the bassist is nothing special . Ian Anderson has lost all Shame .

I think not. That could be said of Steven Tyler not Ian Anderson or Axl Rose.

You absolutely hit the nail on the head, man. I mean, Ian Anderson will turn 76 years of age shortly and has given hundreds if not thousands of concerts throughout his life. I go out visiting the shows of the great rock veterans out of respect and gratefulness - and not because I want to experience their best ever show sonically. Therefore I can't stand people who constantly complain about the quality of Ian's voice. All douchebags, stay at home and spare us your small-minded comments!

@@andreasturner6164 To each their own. Money is getting harder to come by for me. I saw Jethro Tull and or Ian Anderson over 20 times over the years. I use to think Ian Anderson was a perfectionist. His music over the less decade or two is far from perfect. I will not pay money to support or be loyal to him. I think Axl Rose had a fantastic voice and GNR music was great. I will not pay money to go hear Axl Rose perform today. I would pay to see Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones. A person could have respected Mohamed Ali as the greatest fighter of all time. But if he continued to box when he could barely walk, function, or move, would just be sad. Liking Jethro Tull for what they once were is respectable. Adoring Ian Anderson for his present contribution is pathetic. You are free to do as you wish. If Ian Anderson was a Football or Basketball star, no team would have him. He is like a washed up athlete that bought his own team and instead of acquiring new talent to compete he puts has beens on the field to get their clock cleaned by every other team on the field. If his ear for music is so bad that he cannot recognize that his voice is horrendous, what does that say about his other music decisions? He is the one in charge. Oh and it has nothing to do with Martin Barre being gone. Martin's band is also pathetic. These guys should have hung it up years ago or at the minimum gotten a lead singer.

@@Depression2010 All these complaints are just beyond me. If you don't like the current performances of Jethro Tull and other veteran bands, just stay away from them. Don't spend money for tickets and don't watch youtube videos posted by fans. We, the fans, take those live offerings for what they are: Precious memories of 70's rock heydays which are long gone. By the way: I like JT's new album "Rök Flöte" quite a bit. But the same applies here: Digest and appreciate it or leave it. Your choice.

@@andreasturner6164 My opinion is worth just as much as yours. I haven't listened to JT for a long time because Ian has discouraged me as a fan by bastardizing his own music. The other day I was listening to some great music from another band and figured I would take a walk down memory lane and watch some vintage JT from a concert I was at. I enjoyed the concert and then figured I would listen to something current to see if I had snubbed JT and was wrong. Look at the comments. Everybody says Ian's voice is shot and he should hang it up. I responded to you saying, "his voice is still great." That is laughable at best.

This is my favorite band but I stopped going 8 years ago because I felt he was doing his career a dis-service by still singing....

@@locomotivebreath2831 Sad to hear that. I guess he could sing newer material more adapted to his current voice. Sadly Ian Gillan has the same problem, but has wisely chosen not to sing the more challenging songs from the past (Child in time, obviously…) Still it’s sad to hear him when he occasionally have bad days on stage. Saw him perform on Oct 2 last year and to my great delight he nailed it that night. That said, what is Glenn Hughes made of? He ages like fine wine…😊

@@arnefl5549 Everyone gets old...Ian can still play the flute like no one else but I can no longer spend $ on this band

Also missing Martin barre

@@stukawarner4051 True. Not the easiest man to replace.

😎😅😂🤣

That's hardly on you to decide.

@@andreasturner6164 yer right, his ticket sales will decide for him.
