It's touch and go. Depends on the song. Somewhere around 1984 Ian's had some throat problems and his singing voice changed. Some say it's was due to years of cigarette/pipe smoking. Ian says it is in part due to playing the flute and it's impact on the vocal chords. Edited May 17, 2008 by JethroTull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first album ater this was Crest of a knave, which Ian sang in a lower tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwizard03 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Was surgery performed by Dr. Brogenbroom? If so, Ian's voice was shot in 1993 so the good doctor must've missed a few ties on the sutures. Since my username is a play on a Jethro Tull song I felt I needed to post in this thread. Thank you, and HELLO! Welcome to the machine .Floyd Humour.

alwizard03 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Kinda like jerkism seems to be doing. (not directed at you, btw) I hope you did not mean Me Because I have not done you a thing .It was merley a comment about the Rick,Joel whatever crap that was going on back and forth and it started in one thread and the next thing you know it popped up in all of them.If you thought for whatever reason I was attacking you you were wrong it was humor only if and when I decide a need to attack anyone there is no chance of it being a mistake.So I apologize if it was not meant for Me and if it was I appologize for making you get defensive seems to be a standard thing around the Forum.I am here for Music related info and Fun only. I have made quite a few post verry few have been negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJay Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) ... and that is exactly why I said "not directed at you, btw" But, as a victim of the whole Joel thing, I'd like to say it's not something to take lightly.

JethroTull Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Message to alwizard03 and dzldoc, Ian wore the red top hat in 1977 during the Songs From the Wood tour. Barrie Barlow wore a kilt. Regarding that tickets stub of al's, 1975 was the War Child tour. Here is a great video, probably posted before, but worth a second look.

achillestand Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I wanna buy some Jethro DVD... What is your recommendation Jethro? Although I have not seen it yet, the new live in germany looks promising.

JethroTull Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I wanna buy some Jethro DVD... What is your recommendation Jethro? Sadly, there is NO start to finish concert released. There is NO quality footage from the classic Tull line-ups of the Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick(1972), A Passion Play(1973) or War Child (1974 and 1975) tours. Can you believe it?? Let's add 1976, 1977 and 1978 in the mix too. There is some decent stuff from 76 and 77 on youtube. The 1970 Isle of Wite DVD was released a couple of years ago. I only own the audio and quite enjoy it, warts and all. Everything Tull seems to release on DVD gets spliced and diced with added commentary by band members injected in the middle of a song. Ian thinks it would be boring to watch a performance start to finish. Back to your question, I would stick to the 20 or 25 year anniversay collections and I'm not even sure if both are on DVD. I suspect they are not easy to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
