Friday, april 7th I had the pleasure of hearing JT in consert again. Since they are one of my all time favorites in prog it was a very enjoyable evening. This was my second meeting with the band, (The first was in 79 !) so it was about time to meet with Ian Anderson and company again. I must admit this was almost like seeing the DVD "Living with the past"

As expected they were playing mostly oldies but goodies! 6 songs from Aqualong was among the best ones. Martin Barre did also perform a solo from one of his album, but the audience did not get to excited about this one.

The set list:

1) My Sunday Feeling (1968)
2) Cross-Eyed Mary (1971)
3) Beggars Farm (1968)
4) Boris Dancing (2000)
5) Thick as a Brick (1972)
6) Up to me (1971)
7) Farm on the Freeway (1987)
8) Bachs "Bouree" (1969)
9) Mother Goose (1971)
10) Morris Minus - gitarist Barres solospot (1994)
11) A New Day Yesterday (1969)
12) Hymn 43 (1971)
13) Budapest (1987)
14) Aqualung (1971)

Ekstra:

15) Locomitive Breath (1971)

They are amazing to see (still). I've seen JT 4 times since the 70's.

I saw Jethro Tull live in 1971 (Aqualung), 1972 (Thick as a Brick) & 1973 (Passion Play). They were the best 3 concerts that I ever saw and that includes Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Procol Harum, Pink Floyd & The Mahavishnu Orchestra.

They were amazing then and it sounds like thay are still amazing. Ian Anderson is an incredible talent and Martin Barre is one of the most underrated guitarist!

It's good to hear they can still do it today!

Vinyl just sounds better!!
