Ian Anderson! What a LEGEND - anybody know why he is inclined to stand on one leg when playing his flute? Great band, great track.

Good grief. 62 is not even close to being old. |

That was a fine concert, they brought out Seth Lakeman for a few numbers, he fitted in quite neatly, they realyy were fine tuned that night.
I agree Ian's voice isn't as strong as before, but hey, Mine ain't that good now and he's older than me by a few years! He still leaps around a bit! That is awesome! I saw them over 30 years ago... it's been a while... this is a great song... |

Old! You've got to be kidding?!?!? When he performed in November he was flying around the stage (for nearly 3 hours) like he was still in his twenties. I'd like to see some of the younger *farts* in this forum keep up. I think he's in his mid sixties. |

I really wanted to hear this when I saw him in concert a few months ago. Alas, this was a nice consolation, thanks Bill!

I never did get the allure of Jethro Tull, and I don't think I ever will.
To each his own.

When this album came out, he had been having voice problems for some time. However, he seems to have recovered; his voice on more recent albums seems fine. |

Anderson was once upon a time very enthusiastic about farming Atlantic salmon. |

It's been a while since I heard this song.. I have always liked JT's iconoclastic creative style... Ian Anderson is a bit like an eccentric country gentleman up the road who keeps foxhunting hounds in his lounge-room...
