Went to see Jethro Tull last night, and was once again, not disappointed.
Anderson's voice isn't what it was, but the musicianship of the band was incredible... They played a huge range of stuff, and as always, plenty of surprises. A good proportion of the songs, I had never seen performed live before, and that's no mean feat, considering this is the 10th time I've seen them.
the classics were (mostly) all there, locomotive breath, bouree, aqualung, songs from the wood, etc. surprisingly no Living in the past, or customary edit of thick as a brick, but I can't really complain.
a real gem, and not often played (in my experience) was life's a long song, a real treat.
As I said, Anderson's voice is a little more strained, but he still leaps around the stage like a teenager, stands on one leg etc.
One thing to moan about though, the support was godawful. This woman, who started off as a mediocre Kate Bush, descended into what sounded like a wailing pub singer, even with the help of Jethro Tull as a backing group through much of her material.... Left me gagging for a drink at the interval.
