So im a huge Opeth fan, and since Ian Anderson is on the new opeth album, which is a masterpiece, i felt like checking out some Jethro Tull.

Which album would you recommend for a Opeth fan?

As I said in the title, are you going, are currently present, or been to the Istanbul concert and how did you find it?

Next to Mikel's death metal screams on the new Opeth album.

Since the remix came out recently I've noticed how Ians performance is weirdly better than usual on it, he sings with a strength and confidence that is not present in most albums after his decline, his shortness of breath is gone, he's not keeping himself on that subdued corner of his range and his voice is clear.

What the hell happened there? What changed? Can he do it again?

I've been really enjoying The Broadsword and The Beast lately. I love how it balances 80s production with the folky style of the late 70s albums. Ian still had his vocal range and he uses it really well throughout the album. I feel like I could listen to this small era of Tull for much longer than just this album. Ian and the band were firing on all cylinders during this period (which is probably why there's a whole double album's worth of outtake material). On top of that, the album art goes hard.

How do you feel about this album? What are your favorite songs?

One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

Who is the guy in the beginning banging on the drummer's head who then teleports next to Anderson with maracas in his hands?

Also, what is this version of the song? It clearly looks dubbed/edited but it sounds distinctly different from the verion on 'Stand Up'

Someone in my party can't make it so I have to sell my tickets, face value. SRO, $53 per ticket.

How does the 50th Anniversary Collection hold up to the Steven Wilson remix of Aqualung? I'm having trouble deciding which of the two I should get, as they both have my favorite songs, but the anniversary collection includes The Whistler. I'm just not sure about sound quality.

I’m 17, started listening to Jethro about 6 months ago, and i immediately fell in love with them! When i heard they were coming to Naples, Italy for a live concert, i couldn’t resist buying tickets. Half an hour until the concert starts!

Does anyone know if the website 'A Cup of Wonder', which provided analysis of Jethro Tull lyrics, no longer exists?

In the Minstrel box set Jakko mentions the "code that had been stripped on one track for the film (now missing) sync that went with the concert recording."

The only song of this show we have on film is mitg, but, by the sounds of it, most of the show was filmed and is now (presumably?) missing.
If it exists and is just undiscovered or in bad shape, this would surely have to be the holy grail of Tull live videos as it is the only major live video to feature Jeffrey.

So my question is ultimately... Is the running story that the footage found, but unsalvageable? Or has the footage been misplaced (or even worse, destroyed somehow) and therefore are lost to time?

L.O.V.E Tull, don't get me wrong (listening now, in fact!), but what happened to Ian's voice? Just worn out? Cigarettes? Full disclosure, I'm 65 and really love the first six or so albums. My interest waned when Bungle in the Jungle hit the airwaves. Maybe my taste in music just changed. No disrespect to Ian, the group, or fellow fans. Rock On!
