I was at the Jones Beach show as well and wholeheartedly agree with what Tom had to say in the original thread post. I haven't seen Jethro Tull for many years... maybe the last time was as far back as mid-1980's? I have to say that Tull has been better in all of the other (3-4) performances I've seen them in over the years, but the show on Friday night was still a very enjoyable one.
I do have to admit that Ian Anderson's limited vocal abilities came as a bit of surprise to me, but when you think of it (as much as everyone will hate to admit it) I'm sure a good majority of us reading and writing on AN aren't 20 years old anymore either!
(FYI - Ian Anderson will be 63 years old, come this August.) He still is an incredibly talent flautist, guitarist and most of all a great showman.
There are some lyrics that I have to disagree with Mr. Anderson on though... he's
NOT "too old to rock and roll".
