Many thanks for your interest, and to all who entered this contest, and also thank you to the board moderators for putting this all together. We will send out the DVD CD set pronto once we get your mailing addies.
On behalf of Peggy and the LWTP band, I hope you enjoy our humble offering in tribute to the best band of all time. We had a blast playing this show, and Dave was in his usual rare form.....he hadn't performed "Broadsword" since that tour, but yet he played it flawlessy despite the tricky bass runs in the tune. Amazing player, and we were honored to have him fly cross the pond to join us for this special event. I think you'll get a kick out of his intro comments to Budapest!
I agree that no one could possibly come close to the mighty Tull, but I think you'll find that this show was indeed a very heartfelt tribute by fans, for fans, honoring this wonderful group of merry men that we have been so honored to have had as a part of our lives.
Cheers, and have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year.

Hi Tull Folks,
Copies will be sent out this week to the winners so they will arrive in time for Christmas vacational viewing.
I'm glad to hear that we have Tullians out there that are excited about our tribute project to our favorite band.....it's worth it alone just to catch Peggy in some very rare moments and to see/hear his great bass work on Budapest, Broadsword, and all the rest he played on.
With two fine lead guitarists in the band, we try to duplicate the original studio sound of Tull, guitar harmonies, etc. We do not try to "be" Tull in that we don't act, dress, stand on one leg, or otherwise attempt to mimic the boys. Instead we concentrate on the music....which is a major chore unto itself! We did the entire side one of TAAB and as you musicians and music fans know of course, it was one of the most difficult endeavors any of us could ever attempt!! What really boggles the mind, is that Ian wrote this amazing piece when he was just 25 years old! Yikes! The word genius surely comes quickly to mind, eh?
The band and I will go into NY rehearsals next week to prepare for a few upcoming shows in 2011, with some "new" Tull things to be inserted into the show, such as Thousand Mothers.....fun!
We are even considering a long overdue Tull fan convention, so we will keep you posted on those developments. The last time with Peggy we had some folks come from all over the US, and even a few from the UK (and Keith from Sweden).....life's short, so let's have some fun and further celebrate the finest rock band of all time.
Best wishes to you all, and thanks much for your kind support and encouragement. Happy Holidays!
Ray - LWTP

Just remembered that I hadn't posted a review of the LWTP CD/DVD which I was fortunate to get as a competition winner. Fully agree with the comments on the performance made by essan. Thoroughly enjoyable show. Thanks to Maddog for organising the comp and to Ray at LWTP for sending the DVD which I got a few days before Christmas.
PS. Off to see Roxy Music at the LG Arena next week. If anyone is interested in Roxy I'll post a review!!??
