  • August 20, 1991 ... Ian & Martin & Dave Pegg sat in with Paul Shaffer & Company playing "Rocks On The Road", "Like A Tall Thin Girl", "Mother Goose/Jack-A-Lynn", "Bourée" ... and what actually was broadcast that night: A Medley of Aqualung/Locomotive Breath/Black Sunday... on "The Late Show" with David Letterman.

    Letterman rocks, if for no other reason, he has had Tull the band, and Ian the man, as guests both in the 1980s and in recent history. Ian was the "guest" musician about 2007 or 2008, if I am remembering correctly. This was strange to watch, but I appreciate Letterman inviting the greatest rock band on, when so few other main stream media even recognize them.

    I feel like this is a pretty good performance for Ian after the 80's stuff. It's a good mix of his old voice and the voice he has to live with. It sounds mature almost.

  • @4TuLLHEAD
    @4TuLLHEAD  15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's "Black Sunday" from the "A" album. It's also the opening song from the 1980 Video "Slipstream" ... because they opened the "A" tour with that song. It's a great tune... and very difficult to play. As Ian said, there's no place to take a breath.

    What I could never understand is why Ian's speaking voice still sounds the same, but he's lost all his nasal resonance when he sings. Theoretically his singing voice should sound the same, despite his age. His voice sounds constricted and stuck in his throat, almost like he's had a perpetual cold. I know that he blew his voice out on the "Under Wraps" tour, but one would think that it would have recovered with rest and therapy. Perhaps he did permanent damage, I don't know. Still love him though

      Yeh ive followed Tull over the years and his voice seemed to get more strained with each passing decade .
      I'm a singer and to be honest none of Tulls songs were especially in a high register.He's only 44 years old here
      and shouldn't really be having voice problems just yet.I don't think he was or is a heavy smoker or drinker and definitely didnt take hard drugs so its a bit of a mystery to me as to why he had voice issues at quite a young age.
      Flute playing just gets better though.I saw him about 5 years ago and i thought his vocal performance was pretty awful.Luck of the draw i suppose.Shame but one of the all time greats as far as i'm concerned.

    • @justgivemethetruth
      @justgivemethetruth 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say Ian is a businessman first now, and probably since he became a big success. He tries to cram too many shows into too few days and overstrains his voice and ruined it. Plus, he did smoke a lot, and for someone who is so priggish about never having taken a drug it seems kind of hypocritical. I just wonder if Ian not taking drugs is more about being a control freak and in control than any medical or philosophical reason. The control aspect is one thing that has rising in proportion with the decline of Jethro Tull's music, especially its feeling aspects. Ian's music these days is wonderful technically, but it is dry and empty of emotion.

  • @justgivemethetruth

    Aqualung, great song, but not exactly the song you want to go on to Letterman to perform? Weird. A middle aged man singing about eyeing little girls with bad intent while snot runs UP his nose ... why, is he hanging upside down ?? ;-)

      It's nice when long time fans try to put a positive spin on things. I've seen lots and lots of Tull concerts and Ian hasn't really put on a good show in decades. You can see that by looking at all these great videos out there and noticing that neither Ian or the band ever smile or seem like they have having a good time ... they hate it, but it is their job, for money. Ian has made his "art" all about money, and like lots of things when they become products, the ingredients get cheaper and adulterated.

    • @MikeBelmes
      @MikeBelmes 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, he made his art when there was no guarantee of money from the recording and the tours paid for his art. As far as I'm concerned he can not smile or seem like he's not having a good time until his dying day. Their music is in the soundtrack of my life and they can do whatever they want with their songs. Too bad his voice is gone :(

    @Howardtripper That might be what it means in other countries, but it's not what Anderson meant. He was using it in the British slang sense, where a "dog end" is the discarded stub of a cigarette. Tramps are closely associated with picking up and trying to smoke dog ends.
