Nobody Jethro Tulls Like Jethro Tull: You might notice that the photo at the top of this story is a publicity shot, rather than a photo from Jethro Tull‘s concert at the Greek Theatre on Wednesday evening. This is because photography was not allowed at the show — not professional photos taken from the front, and not photos or videos taken with a phone (at least, not until the last song). Frontman and sole remaining original member Ian Anderson announced that very thing just before taking to the stage, and then he enforced it throughout the show by pointing out and chastising people who were ignoring the instructions. Honestly, while he has the right to set the rules, it started to feel a bit silly. But hey, Anderson’s gonna Anderson.Jethro Tull is, and has always been, an odd beast. A proggy, folky, unapologetically weird band that has plowed their own field (almost literally, with the song “Heavy Horses”) since the This Was debut album in 1968.
