known to all mankind------------------>JETHRO TULL I tell ya the things ya endure for your mommy, we had 2 extra tickets that we couldn't even give away for FREE I've always been a concert junkie attending at least 2 decent 1's a month if not more I've been to a lot of concerts in my young life but this was by far most THE WORSE:( :eek:
 
Oh No!

Good Old Jethro Tull Is Not Even Good Live!

That's Too Bad Dahhhling, Tell Me About It Tomorrow:D
 
I have been to a Jethro Tull concert because my father-in-law dragged me, and I sympathize. It was the worst concert I have ever seen.

It was a balding, chubby man wearing TIGHTS and using a flute to do air guitar. They had a guy in a big rabbit suit come out on stage and it made no sense. The auditorium was only one third full and even the fans were like "What the hell?"

We had to go drink afterwards to redeem ourselves.
 
Oh dear children you have failed to interpret the beauty of Mr Anderson's mind.

If you are not a child of the sixties or even seventies you have little chance of understanding anything that the Scottish salmon farmer produces.
 
Its a shame

That musical expertise is rejected in exchange for obnoxious gangsta wannabes that have no redeeming social value.
 
Love Jethro Tull, Love Ian Anderson, Love the Flute. He played here recently & we had a blast. Of course, I am a child of the 60's & 70's. I like to hear people actually play, not lip synch & I can't tell most of today's so called singers apart. Same look, same songs, same studio enhanced voices.
 
didn't he play locomotive breath? Aqualung? Bungle in the Jungle?

there had to be a few rocking songs in between snoozes
 
Some people can't recognize art even if it slaps them in the face and steals their wallet.

Trouble is, that's what a lot of art does.
 
No accounting for taste, Eh?

Well, If i had known I would have PAID you 25 bucks a ticket for the pair of extras - I AM a child of the Sixties, and while Ian Anderson can be a bit strange once in awhile... Oh, well - as Bluespke says... you wouldn't understand... sigh :rolleyes:

Mind you, if you don't care for Nickelback, The Hip or Great Big Sea, I can understand. ;)

Too old to Rock and Roll (NOT!!!!) too Young to Die, that's Me!

BTW - my sig. line is Tull :p

Variety is the spice of life!

Jethro Tull isn't for everybody, Thank God! So many younger folks come from a segment of society that I can only think of as Melody Impaired. There is so much more to music than robotic throbbing rythyms.

Sure, flute isn't what most people think of as the lead instrument in a rock and roll band, but that's THE POINT! Try something new and different, even if it is 35 years old! The instrumental that A.C. is referring to is probably Bouree (I hope I'm spelling that right), which is an interpretation based on a Bach composition.

Maybe you drive the same car as all of your friends, and have sex in the same position every night, but not me! Break free from that rut! Take a chance, learn, explore!

I caught the band a few months ago with the Young Dubliners at the Greek Theater in L.A. The place was packed, and the crowd was the definition of eclectic. There were 3 generations of fans, including kids as young as 6 or 8. Some people looked like they had come straight from a Ren Faire, some looked like they had just been dropped of by a space ship, and some even looked like old bikers. Variety, give it a chance!
 
This is a real entertaining thread.......I sit here watching Papa Roach on Jay Leno, Last night I went to the Aerosmith show at the Tweeter Center (FUCKING AWESOME) and in the CD Changer in my Benz I have:

1 Stevie Ray-Sky is Crying
2 Molly Hatchet - Greatest Hits
3 Best of 3 Dog Night
4 Clutch-Pure Rock Fury
5 Rob Zombie-HellBilly Deluxe
6 Rob Zombie-The Sinister Urge

Tell me, Am I the only balding, mildly overweight, delightfully overpaid husband and father that has his kids saying the music is too loud??????
 
My Aunt has a great liking for Kid Rock, and plays it at obscene volumes.
