* DentedIron: While on the ''Under Wraps'' tour, Ian Anderson suffered numerous throat problems, including multiple cases of laryngitis. He returned to recording and touring after a couple years off (his first break since the band began touring regularly), but his voice had lost its trademark fullness. Also, he now sings in a limited range in a higher key then on his older material.

* HoYay: For decades a live concert staple has involved Ian Anderson sticking his flute between Martin Barre's legs in a distinctly phallic manner, and fiddling with the protruding end of it for a while. Generally this ends with a disgusted look at the free hand, then wiping it as if now covered with something very sticky.
