Jethro Tull Reviews

SHOW NOT WORTH IT

It was a terrible show. First it was said through a video announcement that no picture taking during the show is allowed until the encore. The band as whole just seemed to be going through the motions. The only bright spot was the bass player & key boardist. Ian Anderson seems to just be going through the motions. He really didn’t sing the songs, was more like saying the words. His voice seems shot. Just seems to want to do the shows for the money. There was no connection from the band to the audience. It was a video screen with band playing in front. No announcements of songs were made, nor any introduction of the players of the band. Felt like I was watching an extended version of a video. At the end, a picture of the player in the band up on screen with their name underneath the picture as the actual person walked across the stage. No thank you to the Audience for being there. No “Thank you” Boston. I will never go see them again!!!

NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR!

Came full of enthusiasm, left almost crying with disappointment. One of my favorite bands now plays songs about social media. Wow exciting. Wasted my social security money on a lame ass concert. I want a refund. Ian can go to hell.

BORING, SAD, DISAPPOINTING

Saw them a couple nights ago at Mohegan Sun and it was terrible. Lackluster, thin vocals, way too many obscure odd songs, and the songs we did know were "re-imagined" to the point of being unrecognizable. Sure, he can still play the flute and dance on one leg, great. The venue was packed, yet nobody stood or danced or even clapped between songs. I was so confused. It was the weirdest vibe of any concert I've ever been to. My kids Elementary School Christmas Concerts were more entertaining than this, at least I could sing along. I kept praying for a face-melting Aqualung or Locomotive Breath, hoping he would try to redeem the night, but I only got 20 seconds of music I could dance or sing to the entire night. I found that I could kinda do some yoga to the encore. Later, we bumped into several other people that had attended, and they were equally disappointed. Even someone who had gotten free tickets wished they hadn't gone. Do not waste your time or hard-earned money.

HITS?

The whole first half only one song we recognized; 2nd half started the same way. I left for the train when the 3rd song was another unknown. The dorky videos didn't enhance the music. Big Dud.

BORING

Ian Anderson, the only original member in the band, obviously only wants to play what he wants to play and doesn't respect that his audience wants to hear old familiar songs. There were only 4 songs from the classic Tull albums (and none from Benefit - my favorite) in the 90 minute set. The only reason to see a legacy act like Jethro Tull is to re-live one's youth, not to be preached at by an aged rock star. The band was competent but uninteresting. Ian's flute playing was good, but his voice has faded and it didn't help that he wouldn't sing into the mic and every time he hit a high note, he pulled his head away from the mic. The video wall was distracting and annoying and didn't make up for the lack of energy on stage. It wasn't even loud! Dull, dull, dull. Hang it up Ian, or do a greatest hits tour.

MINSTREL

The guy in front of me fell asleep early. If I knew what he didn't play, I would have fallen asleep too. Total bomb of a concert. It's a shame because he has such great music.
