I'll make this brief cause I'm on my way to Asheville. In a word- stunning. A most enjoyable evening. Brick 1 mesmerized. The crowd, much more involved than i've seen at "Tull" concerts in years was present to see a show! We did not let a chance go by to hoot and cheer approval. We geezers, and quite a few youngsters managed to be both raucus and respectful. Standing ovation at the end of the first half then intermission. The beautiful venue ( my first time) had a modern warmth and elegance and was about 90% full. Ryan's "theatrical" presence was the perfect touch. It just worked. Youtube don't do it justice. His voice was much better then youtube led me to believe. The choreography added greatly to the humour and drama of the night. Brick2 held the attention of everyone as well. Ian was in control. He did almost all of the singing of the new work, as designed, and the voice held up throughout, best in years. Huge ovation at the end and the over 70 couple a few rows over were finglly treated to some Tull when loco breath was played. They, i believe, were doing acid and shouting Aqualung and War Child throughout. But that was more humorous than annoying. Off to Asheville to meet some new friends. Go if you can and get the best seats!!!! Cheers from the deep south, now off to Asheville.
