    That should be great. I've seen one of Martin's solo shows and really enjoyed it. There is some controversy over the way this is being promoted.

    Performed by original band members:
    Martin Barre
    Clive Bunker
    Jonathan Noyce

    When asked about it on the ROSfest Facebook page, this was the response from ROSfest:

    They are not all the first original band members, but they are all confirmed by The Jethro Tull group as original members. Click the link and read the bios. ... This is the official language that the Jethro Tull management groups approved to post. This is not for us to decide.

    This is no doubt the greatest lineup to ever play ROS. Kudos.

    Well if Ian can perform a 50th anni "Jethro Tull" tour, no reason Martin can't as well. But the "original" members thing? That is indeed odd.

    Lmao. Noyce was born in 1971, and started playing with the group in 1995. How he qualifies in any way as an "original member" is absurd.

    Ah, let them have their spin/fabrication. They need all the help they can get selling those tickets anyway.

    Martin Barre isn't an original member either! Great lineup in any case and probably a livelier evening of entertainment than the current version of Tull.

    If I squint and stand on one leg I can just barely see how they could be using the word "original"...this is a spin-off band, but features three members from Jethro Tull, which is the original band...so they are original members. See?

    I'd love to see Clive performing Tull music. Even if he's not the drummer he once was, it would be a treat.

    LOL! It took me a while to get your point... But it works: they just need to very craftily insert a hyphen such that "original" is modifying "band" as opposed to "members". Original-band members.

    And yes I would love to see this outfit and I would love for them to sell a lot of tickets. I've seen Martin 3x and he's been great. But I don't think they need these shenanigans to put butts in seats.

    Curios though - who is the first headliner?

    Yeah, I know that, but he was a signature core member of the band during their most important decade and album output, ie similar situation to Steve Howe, and was the longest serving member aside from IA of course. Far cry from calling a guy who wasn't even born when Tull formed and put out their first few albums an "original". I am seeing Barre play in November, and I skipped the Ian Anderson croaking tour, so I agree with the latter part.

    Bootstrapping from Mister Triscuits comment, I can see why they inserted the word "original" so as to emphasize these guys were really in Tull and are not just a tribute band, ie for the casual fans who might not recognize the names. But they still just could have more accurately said "performed by Jethro Tull band members" to get that point across (or even more accurately, "former JT band members").

    Utilizing that theory and all the members who’ve been in Tull we could technically have numerous versions of the band touring for the 50th anniversary

    Seems like they could have used Classic Lineup Members instead.

    Who's the Ian clone?

    Seriously, though, I would like to see more dates.

    Most of them no longer play. Mick Abrahams, I believe, had a stroke and can't play anymore. Glenn Cornick and John Glascock are dead. John Evan and Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond haven't played in years. That leaves Dave Pegg, who I kind of was expecting; Barrie Barlow, who is not needed since they already have Clive; and Dee Palmer, who is just not the man she used to be.

    I meant they could advertise "Classic Lineup Members" instead of "original."

    Oh. Duh!

    Of course Jonathan Noyce is no more a "classic" member than he is an "original." So we'd all be picking the same nit!

    Well one definition of original is "not a copy or a fake", using that definition none of them are fake Jethro Tull members.

    Interesting that Noyce and Bunker are playing together - from very different generations of this band.

    They are the original guys as apposed to the new guys.

    Makes perfect sense to me. Why do advertising blurbs bother people so much?
