Jethro Tull --- remember them?

They are an old group.. but very well known in a select group I guess:)
Here's a link about them in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(band)

Their official website is at:

Ian Anderson is a legend:) and still tours.. They have awesome songs that I can still remember:0) I used to live on Jethro Tull during my school days..:)

No worries!!:) Well, now that you've heard of them through this post.. maybe you'll check them out some time:)

Thank you for sharing:) Which songs have you heard? Their live album "Bursting Out" is one of my all time favorites..:)

Tull too lol

That's awesome!:) I totally agree with you about listing every song as a personal favorite:)

Really good to hear from another Tull fan! Rock on!!:) They still tour once in a while.. and I intend to go to their next outing here:0)

Ian Anderson's flute play is just out of the world!! In Bursting out, he does a combo of flute play and humming.. which then blends into a full medley from the band... pretty good stuff!!

You should check them out:) The band's pretty awesome!:) I am tempted to say that one either likes them or otherwise doesn't care for their kind of music.. but those who like them are like lifelong die-hard fans..

You said "yes i do, he was great".

Too funny

A high five to you on that!:) It appears quite a few of you had older siblings who introduced you to Jethro Tull.. Pretty impressive!!

The band still does tours!! You should check out their official website to see if they are coming to a venue near you:)

Yeah, that was funny:) GrandBBQ & Catwoman!!:)

I would like to add this little tidbit I just noticed on the Tull Website.

Acoustic Tull CD Planned

EMI is intending to release the "Best Of Acoustic Jethro Tull" in March 2007 featuring some bonus acoustic tracks recorded live in concert.



How cool is that?

"Bursting out" remains one of fav Jethro Tull listening!!:) And Ian Anderson has had some really witty things to say.. They won the Grammy for Heavy Metal/Hard Rock performance in 1987 beating Metallica.. for the Crest of a Knave:0)
According to Wikipedia... in response to criticism to their award.. the band took out an advert in a British music periodical stating: "The flute is a heavy, metal instrument".

:):D;)

Yeah, I read about that on the Jethro Tull website too!!
The Best of the Acoustic Jethro Tull!!:) Pretty cool:P

Awesome! Good to come across another Jethro Tull fan in here!! Have you been to any of their live shows?

No I havn't and I really regret it. I live near Manchester, U.K. which is around 60 miles from Blackpool, their original stomping ground. I've been tempted to see them lately but would rather remember them as they were in the 70s/80s. I think Ian may be losing a little of that spark now.

Ian Anderson is getting old:) The band's been in existence since the 1960s:0) so it's quite expected that he'd be losing some of his spark. If the band is coming to my vicinity, I intend to go for live performance:)

Good for you!! I found out about Jethro Tull quite by accident from a friend of mine... and well, me and that friend, we still listen to Jethro Tull!!
