I'd never been much of a fan of JT either, but I saw 'em at Hammersmith Odeon one night doing the 'Heavy Horses' set.

They were breathtaking that night for sure, one of the most on the money sets I've seen anyone pull off, nobody outshone another they just were one of the best all-round outfits I've witnessed before or since.  They truly played as a band at that point, or at least that was the impression that came across.

I saw them at (arguably) their height. The Stand Up Tour. As my mate JB says "breathtaking". 

I saw them on the Crest of a Knave tour. Although well executed, they began to lack just a little by then.

I'm pretty sure I'd not pay money to see them or IA today. Some memories are best left in the head.

Guitarist Florian Opahle has been with Ian and Tull since 05 when he first played on  the "Ian Anderson Plays Orchestral Jethro Tull" tour and I  have seen him live a number of times over the past five years.

Yes, I've seen him a few times, once with Greg Lake.

OT but since you mention it Greg's daughter Nat, became my daughter-in-law just before Christmas.  I've told her not to be over-awed by my illustrious musical past when we meet.

I wonder how many degrees of separation that makes between IA and the Bouy now?

Got some misgivings about this, Anderson seems to be getting a little petulant (even Roger Waters-like) by saying, 'I wrote it, so it's going out under my name' instead of a Tull album. Then there's the state of his singing voice..

 
I think you have to be a bit petulant and protective of  your work. I do not see anything wrong with that. And I bet that Roger might have been the one that suggested for him to do TAAB again differently and more up to date!
 
The Wall's new version is excellent and deserves the credit for the massive work that it is and it being so "universal" all around. And in my book, so does TAAB and Passion Play ... with the exception that most fans, here as well, are strictly song oriented, 3 to 4 minute folks that could not do anything beyond that ... and the CHB band of course does twice as much which shows how progressive they really are ... very! And ... they are not the subject of Ian's barbs in that piece, either!
 
I still think that folks that can only do "songs" and pieces about that girl yet again, are the ones that do not like things like this and will trash Tales from Topographic Oceans and Close to the Edge, or The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway as "pretentious", when in the end, these are the massive "operas" of the time and place that we were lucky enough to hear and see ... with one problem ... we had no idea what it was all about because we had our heads in our asses, or looking for girls, or dope or whatever ... even Woodstock was just a party and the music was ****! Because no one gave a damn, and the anthem was seen by garbage, not people! ... and still we think those people "petulant" ... maybe we don't like what we know that we don't want to hear!
 
And you don't think that folks like Ian, Roger Daltrey, Roger Waters, Jon Anderson, Daevid Allen, Frank Z, Jimi, Janis, Jim (specially!) and many others do not (or didn't) feel a sense of hurt that ... it doesn't mean anything to anyone? ... it does! ... and many people appreciate the beauty of it all ... it's just not something that we're comfortable talking about (here) because we're all so commercially oriented that we could not think, accept, understand, efforts to create something special more than just another radio song!
 
You don't think you would be proud of your heritage if you were T S Elliot, John Steinbeck, Mr Burroughs, Jean Paul Sartre, Igor Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, Pablo Picasso ... and you call them "petulant"?

As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... helps you find something ... and you and I and all of us hope that you are clever enough to find out what that is ... someday, before you die!

Nope, not Roger. You might be interested to know that it was Derek Shulman (ex-Gentle Giant) who talked him into it.

Yep. I actually knew that. But I think that Roger's success is what is helping Ian go through with it, and probably tour it.  Actually, I just recently took a look at that map in the MAN album "Be Good to Yourself at least Once a Day" ... and when I saw who lived near who, again, the first thing I said to myself was ... wow ... all we missing is a couple of members from Man/Help Yourself, a member or two from Nektar, some more folks from Dave Edmunds side of town, add on a guest show by one of the GG'rs or 2 ... and we're all set!
 
As for Barre not being there ... I suppose that when you play with someone for 40 years that you might enjoy a different sound or person behind you for a chance to learn something else? But then, rock music is not exactly known for its commitment to anything except ... greed and cheap worthless words!

Funnier yet, was one of Guy Guden's Space Pirate Radio shows that had that piece from the album "Right Through" by Ron Geesin and Guy was doing these quasi French voices of Jean Paul ... I can't find my way through these doors ... it was an incredible satire that made the perfect sense.

Well yes, you might...in which case you probably wouldn't write the guitar parts in the exact same style that Barre has been playing for the last 40 years, and then get a session player to sight-read them..would you?

But then, rock music is not exactly known for its commitment to anything except ... greed and cheap worthless words!

 
Yeah, right..apart from..Live Aid, Live 8, Roger Daltrey's work for teenage cancer, The Edge's work with Music Rising (replacing instruments lost when Katrina hit), the Nordoff Robbins foundation, Sting's work for the rainforests, Amnesty International being supported by Gabriel, Springsteen et al, Rock Against Racism..

...shall I go on..?

Why would Ian do that when Martin didn't write the guitar for the first TAAB

During extended breaks Ian would make his way into a tent and toke from an Oxygen tank (I could see becuase my seat was behind the stage).

I can imagine that would take a toll on the vocal chords, throat, and everything. Oxygen will dry your nose and throat in a hurry, but if one must jump around on one leg and play flute then I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Personally, I think over 60yo folk have earned the right to sit in a chair and play, he could always lift his leg now and then. You can't be 20 something forever, it isn't becoming. No one listens to me though.
I think Brian Wilson at the Grammy awards show got it right.. he looked like, "what the heck am I doing here... where AM I? He played and immediately got up, looking bewildered (as someone his age should singing surf music should) and walked off the stage looking like, "why did I agree to this"? (Yes, I work at the department of redundancy department).

Maybe it's just me... BTW, I vote for Barre (as if it matters) and while I a at it The Eagles are not The EAGLES without Don Felder and I am not interested in seeing them without him and I wouldn't go too far out of my way to see the ABB without Betts. Though I am sure they put on a good show, it isn't the same. I wouldn't go out of my way to see Tull Anderson without Barre either, and I really liked Tull back in the day.
