Jethro Tull to Play Moore Theatre on October 28th, 2016
Live Nation Presents the wonderful Jethro Tull: Written & Performed by Ian Anderson at the Moore Theatre on Friday, October 28, 2016.
Ian Anderson celebrates the life and times of English agriculturalist Jethro Tull in this new concert tour. Anderson is known as the legendary frontman for the classic rock band Jethro Tull, and re-imagines his namesake with a narrative set in the near future. The show presents some of the best-known songs from the repertoire of the band Jethro Tull.
In Jethro Tull, Anderson touches on topical issues including climate change, intensive food production, and population growth. New material specially written for this show includes “Prosperous Pasture,” “Fruits Of Frankenfield,” “And The World Feeds Me,” “Stick, Twist, Bust,” and “The Turnstile Gate.” Jethro Tull features, amongst many Tull favorites, “Heavy Horses,” “Farm On The Freeway,” “Songs From The Wood,” “Aqualung,” “Living In The Past,” “Wind-Up,” “A New Day Yesterday,” “The Witch’s Promise,” and “Locomotive Breath,” sometimes with slightly re-written lyrics to better tell the tale. The show has already played in the UK, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, and the US to widely encouraging reviews. The Oakland Press writer Gary Graff offers: “A characteristically exceptional Tull concert… entertaining and original.”
Anderson is accompanied by David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums), and surprise virtual guests on screen includingRyan O’Donnell, who shared the stage with Anderson in recent tours for Homo Erraticus and THICK AS A BRICK, and Icelandic singer/violinist/actress Unnur Birna Björnsdóttir, who appears on screen throughout the show.
