Jethro Tull review
Mohegan Sun Arena - Uncasville
The show I saw on 10/29 was a great show. Despite Ian Anderson being 76, the musicianship was impeccable. The challenges that he has with his voice over the years are more than made up for with his masterful flute playing. To be touring and standing one-legged at the age of 76 is impressive. More impressive is to be still creating music that rivals earlier creations from the vast Tull catalog.

Great Classic Rock Show
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
It was my first time seeing Jethro Tull. Being 56, I know some of their music, but still haven't experienced all of it. I will definitely explore their musical catalog in greater depth. The show was a great display of musical talent. I left being a bigger fan! Ian was great telling stories about their songs and interacting with his bandmates. They are phenominal musicians! I would have liked to hear a few more of the popular songs, but was still very impressed. The Palace is an excellent place to see a show!

Meh. Too many deep dives, not enough hits.
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
Interesting visuals, but aside from the last two number, everything else they played was obscure and known only to the die hard fans. If I'm coming out to see a classic rock band, I'd expect more fan favourites. Very disappointing show overall.
By Would have like to see more old songs

Poor
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
The music was okay. They played music that I never heard before. Last two songs were Aqualung and Locomotive Breath and the butchered them.

It is what it is....
MGM Music Hall at Fenway - Boston
The best way to see Tull is to go in without any expectations. Especially if you've seen them before, 30-40 years ago. The reality is that IA voice is on its last legs and has been getting worse since the mid 80's The lack of voice dictates a disappointing setlist. In place of fan favorites, the setlist is littered with obscure flute offerings (Pavane) and flute lines instead of singing. Seeing Tull feels like an obligation now rather than joyful experience. No more traveling the country seeing them but going to at least one show within an hours drive. It's hard to watch IA stand on tippy toes, eyes bulging, vein popping in his throat and ....... nothing comes out. Songs are sung in a key his weak voice can handle including a revamped Aqualung that has to be the low point of the evening. I go in without expectations and I will again. It is what it is.

Great with 1 small complaint
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
They were spot on with the instruments and performance. The 1 small complaint I have was from my seats I couldn't really hear his lyrics. I feel like they should have turned his mic up just a little.

Jethro Tull- Palace Theatre Albany
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
1st of all, Ian is in his 70's, and his voice and flute playing are still strong and tremendous....he's earned the right after 7 decades to play what he wants. Everything he and his band played was tight, loud and absolutely Jethro Tull. Would I like to have seen Cross Eyed Mary, Songs from the Wood, Thick as a brick or Skating Away....yes. Aqualung and Locomtive breath were...GREAT. Playing the EXACT same show every night in the same order is not very fan friendly...throw in a slot in the 1st & 2nd set where you call an audible from another 6-10 songs. BTW- the Palace in Albany is an extraordinary ornate acoustic dream of a venue....similar to Beacon Theatre in NYC but not as steep...go and see your favorite band here. Overall- 8 of 10

Exceed my expectations!
The Palace Theatre Albany - Albany
Well rehearsed, new arrangements amazing Prog Rock Show. If you’re interested in just the hits the way they were done years ago you would be slightly disappointed. The vocals were not 100 percent but I expected that. The flute playing was spot on, as was the rest of the band.
Bio
Jethro Tull on Tour
Ian Anderson — Jethro Tull's flautist, vocalist and guitarist — leads the band's live shows. With bold charisma, he pairs his instrumental work with mesmerizing, full-bodied dance moves that match the band's dramatic musical intricacies. Anderson's bandmates also ably channel the emotional arcs of Jethro Tull's arrangements, creating a concert experience that can feel like a lot like a theater production. The band toured heavily for decades after forming in 1968, appearing at high-profile events such as the Isle of Wight Festival, and became known for elaborate stage setups and costumes. In 2018, Anderson celebrated the band's half-century existence with a tour dubbed 50 Years of Jethro Tull.
Jethro Tull in Concert
The legendary prog band played their first concert in London at the iconic Marquee Club on February 2, 1968. The gig was a long time coming: Prior to cofounding the group, Anderson had been performing with several other acts, including the John Evan Band. However, once his fledgling group's booking agency suggested the name Jethro Tull — in reference to a real-life English agriculturist — the band was off to the races.
Chart and sales success came early and often. Jethro Tull's second album, 1969's Stand Up, hit No. 1 in the UK and was certified gold, while 1971's landmark Aqualung went triple-platinum and 1972's Thick as a Brick topped the U.S. charts. As their career progressed, the band evolved along with musical trends and embraced styles such as hard rock, synth-rock and metal (in addition to the usual mix of folk, blues and rock). That penchant for progress also paid off: In 1988, Jethro Tull won the inaugural Hard Rock/Metal Grammy Award, and the 1987 album Crest of a Knave won Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental. Recent years have seen the release of archival live albums and hits collections, both of which illuminate the band's deep catalog.
