St. Petersburg, Fla. (March 13, 2017) – British rock legend Ian Anderson will visit The Mahaffey for the very first time, presenting JETHRO TULL by Ian Anderson Thursday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.
The concert will feature a solid collection of the best-known Tull repertoire from 1968 to date. Fans will recognize the key songs from various albums – songs which put Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson on the map in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s – with most of them accompanied by big screen HD video elements to enhance the concert experience.
Favorites include: “Dharma For One”, “Bourée,” “Nothing Is Easy,” “A New Day Yesterday,” “Living In The Past,” “Aqualung,” “Locomotive Breath,” “My God,” “Aqualung” and on through to “Thick As A Brick” and material from the albums of the next three decades. A couple of recent works round out the concert selection – which may vary a little from night to night.
Ian Anderson (flute, acoustic guitar, vocals) is accompanied by Tull members David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar) and Scott Hammond (drums).
