An October's day, towards evening. Em C D G C D Dsus4 G Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough. Salt on a deep chest seasoning. Last of the line at an honest day's toil, turning the deep sod under. Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone, flies at the nostrils plunder. C D G C Am D Dsus4 Em The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie with the Shire on his feathers floating. C D G C D Dsus4 G Hauling soft timber into the dusk to bed on a warm straw coating. CHORUS: F#7 Bm G Bm G A Heavy Horses, move the land under me. Behind the plough gliding, slipping and sliding free. F#7 G D Bb F C Em D Bm Now, you're down to the few, and there's no work to do, the tractor is on its way. Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed to keep the old line going. And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood behind the young trees growing. To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth, and your eighteen hands at the shoulder. And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry and the nights are seen to draw colder. They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power your noble grace and your bearing. And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls in the wake of the deep plough, sharing. Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill ip into the cold wind facing. In stiff battle harness, chained to the world against the low sun racing. Bring me a wheel of oaken wood, a rein of polished leather. A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky brewing heavy weather. Bring a song for the evening, clean brass to flash the dawn. Across these acres glistening like dew on a carpet lawn In these dark towns folk lie sleeping as the heavy horses thunder by To wake the dying city with the living horseman's cry At once the old hands quicken , bring pick and wisp and curry comb. Thrill to the sound of all the heavy horses coming home. CHORUS: .

  • Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lacey Leffler August 26, 2013 Marketing Director 253.573.2360 [email protected] Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson Plays Thick as a Brick 1 & 2 October 27 at Tacoma’s Pantages Theater Media sponsor: Capitol City Press Tacoma, WA – Broadway Center for the Performing Arts presents Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson on October 27, in an evening of rock at the historic Pantages Theater. Known throughout the world as the voice and flute behind legendary rock group Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson will expertly bring audiences back to rock’s heyday with his performance of THICK AS A BRICK in its entirety for the first time since 1972, then bring the evening full circle with his new album, THICK AS A BRICK 2. Jethro Tull’s progressive rock era peaked with 1972’s THICK AS A BRICK, a revolutionary 45-minute continuous piece of music charting the difficulties of a child growing up and confronting a frightening and unfair world. The album was a worldwide success, including a #1 spot on the Billboard chart. Forty years later, Ian’s new sequel has very deliberately echoed the feel of the 1972 album by using many of the same instruments - including acoustic guitar and Hammond organ - by recording the continuous 53-minute piece of music to a large extent with the band all playing live together. In Ian’s words, “The theme of this anniversary ‘part two’ album is to examine the possible different paths that the precocious young schoolboy, Gerald Bostock, might have taken later in life.” After 45 years of leading Jethro Tull through 54 countries and over 60 million albums sold, Ian Anderson celebrates true progressive rock classics with old and new fans alike.

  • Hi Marc, This Is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q
    IA: Hello, Marc Allan please. Q: This is Marc. IA: Hi Marc, this is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q: Hi Ian, how are you? IA: I'm very well, I've just been speaking repeatedly to a young lady, I mean quite a young lady from apparently on a phone number that's calling for the last 10 minutes. (laughs) Q: Oh wow. IA: And finally had to explain what I was trying to do and that her mom looked up your telephone number and I'd got the, well, whoever gave me the phone number had got it wrong. So somewhere out there in a suburb not too far from you is a young lady who is very bemused by the fact that some strange English person from a rock band called Jethro Tull, which she'd obviously never heard, (laughs) trying to reach her to talk to her about our forthcoming tour. Q: Gee, would've been kind of exciting if you had reached a fan, you know, and then somebody was really thrilled and kept you on the phone. IA: Actually, I think the girl had heard of us, but when she said to her mom, she said, "What's that, a delivery service?" (laughs) 'Cause I thought it was gonna be like she was gonna get through to her mom, I said mom, Mom said, "What, let me speak to him." But no, Mom hadn't heard of us but little girly had, maybe little girly wasn't so little but she was, you know, we're talking teenage.

  • JETHRO TULL by IAN ANDERSON – 50Th Anniversary Tour – 23
    JETHRO TULL by IAN ANDERSON – 50th Anniversary Tour – 23. November 2019 – Berlin, Theater am Potsdamer Platz Text: Holger Ott Kaum ist ein Jahr vergangen, so schlägt der Altmeister des Progressive Rock im Rahmen seiner fünfzig Jahre Jubiläumstour erneut in Berlin auf. Dieses Mal im Stage-Theater am Potsdamer Platz, in dem bis vor einiger Zeit das Musical "Hinterm Horizont", über das Leben von UDO LINDENBERG, mehrere Jahre erfolgreich lief. Nun gibt sich IAN ANDERSON im passenden Ambiente die Ehre, immerhin eine Spielstätte, die er in Berlin noch nicht kennengelernt hat. Nach einer langen Konstante in der Besetzung der Band, kündigt der Altmeister an der Querflöte auf seiner Webseite an, dass Gitarrist FLORIAN OPAHLE die Formation zum Ende des Jahres verlassen wird. Sein Nachfolger steht mit JOE PARRISH bereits fest und mein Kollege MIKE und ich sind gespannt, ob dieser heute bereits die Saiten zupfen wird. Beim Betrachten der Setliste, im Vergleich zum Vorjahr, gibt es nur kleine unwesentliche Veränderungen. Somit komme ich, als alter TULL-Fan auch in den Genuss, der Jubiläumstour beizuwohnen, die ich ein Jahr zuvor krankheitsbedingt sausen lassen musste. Sicherlich hätte Mr. ANDERSON deutlich mehr zu bieten, als die Auswahl der Songs verspricht. Betrachtet man seine letzte Best-Off CD "50 from 50", und vergleicht das mit dem heutigen Konzert, so stellt der wachsame Konzertbesucher fest, dass das Programm eigentlich nichts anderes ist, als das, was ANDERSON bereits seit vielen Jahren immer wieder auf die Bühne bringt. Natürlich will der Fan so viel wie möglich bekanntes Material aus fünfzig Jahren hören, aber wo sind dann Songs wie "War Child", "Bungle In The Jungle", "North See Oil" oder Auszüge aus den jüngeren JETHRO TULL Werken? Gerade als bekennender Verfechter von Umweltschutz, wundert es mich, das sich ANDERSON nicht aktuellen Themen widmet und diese mit Auszügen aus der, soeben durch STEVEN WILSON restaurierten CD "Stormwatch" anprangert, die sich ja bekanntlich als Konzeptalbum dem Umweltschutz widmet, bzw.
