  July 15, 2012 Sant Feliu, Catalonia Festival Portaferrada Porta Ferrada Festival, the oldest of Catalonia, was founded in 1958 around the Monastery of Sant Feliu on the Mediterranean coast, is a fishing village, over the years become tourist town of incomparable beauty We met a group of 50 Tullianos thanks to Ian made us a great discount on the tickets of one row, also sent us backstage passes, and press photographer for the entire tour in Spain, thanks IA! I'll try to summarize with pictures, videos and press links it went a great summer night I must say that my location was privileged 1st line, which rather than benefit me to take good pictures I have injured because Ian does not allow the use of cameras during his performance, it is very hard on that, just 10 minutes to the photographers and press I got 3 warnings to photograph but I ignored all I could filming without problems and take some pictures I will not discover anything new, Great show with 2 encores My God and Locomotive Breath As you have found my English is very far from being good I will divide this post into 3 or 4 parts...due to the many picturesA picture is worth a thousand words, let's go!

Jethro Tull, who have sold 80 million albums over 45 years of career, they presented a renewed formation, but its historical leader at the helm, Ian Anderson. The band made a full revive a nearly total disc that marked an entire era. With an elaborate staging, sound and compact Ian Anderson fit his 64 years, Jethro Tull intertwined parts of the two albums. So dense electric crescendos and drops of humor that delighted the fans group. "Thick as a Brick", with its famous cover and one song split into two parts, was the first number 1 for Jethro Tull. A milestone of progressive rock that sold millions of copies and strengthen banda as one of the most popular of the time. The particular band's sound, blending blues, hard rock, English folk and medieval touches, this work came to one of his high points. The distinguishing feature, however, was the flute from Ian Anderson, around which always turned the banda. "Thick as a Brick" was organized on the character of the poem, the boy Gerald Bostock, now as an adult has already recovered in the second part of the album which presents the various paths that may have taken his life. "I did not want 'Thick as a brick 2' to have a reason, a good way to do it, because they wanted to make that album would have been a failure, a disaster. So we needed a strong concept, something that would allow me to make music the way I want now, "said Ian Anderson TV3. |

Wootton Bassett Town  Shunt And Shuffle, A Change Of Horses.   Banker Bets, Banker Wins live in Sant Feliu with effect posterized  End of TAAB 2  1st encore My God   2nd encore solo flute and Locomotive Breath   Set-list Sant Feliu 2012  Personally I would have preferred the 2 TAAB's complete but... It was really one of the best shows I have attended to in years  BackStage     I.A. with Tullianos president Albert Villanueva  Goodbye Sant Feliu, Jethro Tull's I.A. see you in Barcelona February 6 2013   Press:TV3 Televisió de Catalunya Interview with Ian Anderson www.tv3.cat/videos/4180031/Jethro-Tull-al-Porta-FerradaThe British band Jethro Tull, led by Ian Anderson, gave a brilliant performance on Sunday the Festival Porta Ferrada Sant Feliu de Guixols. The concert, which focuses on classic Thick as a brick, showed a group full of energy that do not live past glories or incomes, and triumphed in his own right. www.bibgirona.cat/biblioteca/sant-feliu-de-guixols/documents/103251El Pais Energy in a pure state Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, takes forty-five years in the stage and does not smell of mothballs Carry forty-five years without setting off the smell of mothballs and has merit. A great merit who are not most good bands that were big time and now are just simple imitators of themselves. The Secret of Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull is he and he alone) is the energy that is able to distill and share on the stage, a pure energy that avoids any kind of nostalgia though, curiously, much of his work based on four decades of music behind him. On Sunday at the Festival of the Porta Ferrada Ian Anderson, about to turn 65, he returned to spread that positive energy with both hands in the audience that nearly filled the stands at the port of Sant Feliu de Guixols. There were many Boomers, of course, but also many young people who vibrate at the same rate at present. This time Anderson's bid had much more merit as it was to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of one of her most notable Thick as a Brick. The concert began with the full understanding of the actual disk drive, a single track undulating over forty minutes. In 1972 the small Little Minton looked around with early awareness of his eight years involved in what was then called progressive rock. Today his words still sound fresh and progressive and not afraid of anyone, quite the opposite. The review of Anderson and his new band (solid and powerful as many) was simply brilliant in all aspects but especially in the cool of melodies (you still owe much to medieval music) which does not pass the time. There were three quarters of an hour of pure instrumental virtuosity dominated throughout by the personal and communicative leader's flute. Followed, also played in full, Anderson's new album, Thick as a Brick 2, in which the same young man has already turned fifty and look at the world differently, a little more acidic, but with the pace and momentum of then. Finally, to round off a very long a (more than a quarter of an hour), which merged two of the most poignant of Aqualung: My God and Locomotive Breath. Ending on a high, sparks flew from Anderson's flute. The public, of course, cheering standing over more than deserved a more comforting shows that the same Ian Anderson was wrong when, in the late seventies, wrote that from too old to rock and roll: too young to die. ccaa.elpais.com/ccaa/2012/07/16/catalunya/1342468387_519199.htmlEl Periodico Newspaper headline:Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull's memory The singer played 'Thick as a brick', totem of progressive rock, in Porta Ferrada www.elperiodico.com/es/noticias/o....ro-tull-2091949The official video Festival Porta Ferrada More pictures in high definition on Tullianos www.tullianos.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825Click where it says aqui |
