Being a huge fan for most of my life it was just another one of those bands that I wanted to see but never thought I'd have the chance considering I was born in 1981 and lived in Perth, the most isolated city on Earth, to which no band ever visits. So when I heard JT were touring Oz there was no way I'd be missing it. 5 hour flight there for three nights to see JT with my dad. They played a two hour set with a 5 min break. there was a good selection of mainly their early releases all was pre-too old to rock... The aqualung album featured heavily with nearly the whole album being played throughout the set. A 10-15 min Thick as a Brick was played and I must say that it was flawless. Ian delighted us with some of his solo work as did Martin (Martins solo song was a real highlight). Overall I was glad I forked out airfare, accomidation and all the other costs to see JT because for a bunch of 'old' guys they rocked harder than many of the bands of today, they could take a leaf out of JT's book. If you get a chance to see them and you never have it would be worth your while.

I saw them performing live, in Mantua (Italy) the 16th July 2005, the same selection of songs...they're great!!

Seeing them tonight for the third time. I saw them in '92 on the Little Light Music tour, and again in '02 with Saga opening. Looking forward to my third installment, I love the mighty Tull!

Hoping to meet Ian and Martin before the show if I get there in time.

Toronto show was cool. Met Ian before soundcheck (he was running late...excuses excuses :p) but I managed to get my copy of "A" signed, and I told him it was one of my favourite albums and that nobody ever talks about it for some reason, to which he replied, "Don't they?"  Got my pic taken with him, so that's 2 heroes in 3 days (S. Hackett two days before Ian)!

Anyway, Tull played the entire Aqualung album (yes, every song) as well as:

Lifes A Long Song

Skating Away

Jack-In-The-Green

Budapest

Kashmir (yes, the Zeppelin song! - instrumental only, also contained Whole Lotta Love solo)

Bohemian Rhapsody (solo/instrumental)

Serenade To A Cuckoo

Beggars Farm

Bouree

Weathercock

and a Martin Barre piece.

...but not in that order. Quite the bizarre song selection. They had a girl with them who played violin. She was trained at Juliard and is one of those child prodigy types. She likes classic rock and it was her choice to do Kashmir, etc.
