The Martin Barre Band will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Surf Ballroom, 460 N. Shore Drive, as part of its U.S. tour celebrating 50 years of Jethro Tull, a British rock band formed in the late 1960s. “We have an amazing show,” said Barre, who was a Jethro Tull guitarist for 43 years. The show, which is part of a two-month U.S. tour, will feature Barre and his touring band comprised of Dan Crisp on lead vocals, Alan Thomson on keyboard, Darby Todd on drums, and Becca Langsford and Ali Hart on vocals. Special guests Jonathan Noyce and Clive Bunker, both of whom performed with Jethro Tull for many years, will also be a part of the show. Barre said the show will highlight Jethro Tull’s musical career with a multimedia presentation that complements the rock band’s legendary sound. “It’s taken all the emotion and atmosphere of the early days and updated it,” he said. The Martin Barre Band’s performance will be jam-packed with Jethro Tull’s greatest hits and a couple surprises, Barre said, adding not every hit will make the list during the three-hour show, but he promised fans won’t be disappointed. Although it’s a rock show, it’ll offer softer ballads by Langsford and Hart that’ll serve as a nice contrast to the rest of the band’s set list. “What we do will make (fans) very, very happy,” he said. “Everything they want to hear, they’ll hear.” Barre played with Jethro Tull until its initial dissolution in 2012, and he considers himself lucky to still be touring today. “Performing is a magical experience, and it’s always been that way,” he said. “I love playing, and even after that many years, every gig is a better gig.” Barre, who’s known for his mastery of historic riffs, power chords and soaring melodic solos, was voted 25th best solo in the U.S. and 20th best solo in the U.K. for his guitar playing on Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung.” His playing on the album “Crest of a Knave” earned him a Grammy in 1988. In addition to Jethro Tull, Barre has worked with artists, like Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, and Chris Thompson, and shared the stage with legends, like Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Barre said he, and his band, are looking forward to playing at the historic Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake for the first time, and sharing Jethro Tull’s music with North Iowa. “I just want them to smile,” he said. “It’s as simple as that.” Tickets for the show are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. For more information or tickets, visit www.surfballroom.com, call 641-357-6151 or visit the venue at 460 N. Shore Drive in Clear Lake.

I've been there too... 1982... dancing with the former Sherifs daughter of Mason City Iowa, who were at the crash sight the 3 of february 1959 picking up the pieses of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens and the pilot... This was the first time I heard about Buddy Holly, and to this day I'm a big Buddy Holly fan...

Martin Barre Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour 2019 108 views Ear Responsible Productions Published on May 18, 2019 Why did Martin not play the original solo as on the Aqualung album He spoiled it by twiddling about and trying to noodle too much, IMHO The original solo was that good he was credited with the accolade of 20th best solo or whatever... .so why try to be clever, he just ruined it, for me anyhow. If he had played the original cut, and then did some noodling, maybe, but he didn't. Ian Anderson pays respect to his flute solo's in his live shows, from the recordings he stays pretty loyal to the parts in Locomotive Breath and Bouree and basically everything he plays.. I don't like this gig Martin is doing, all good musicians granted, but it still sound like a band doing some Tull covers . I know Ian's voice is gone, so Ian's band has it's faults too, but I still prefer Ian's band. The girl singers don't work in this context for me, OK, Ian has a lady singing, but only integrating with himself, this is not the same. Just my humble opinion, and I am a life long Tull fan.

It all makes sense to me in general because of what Martin Barre has become. At times he has expanded his set lists to include TULL songs that he really enjoys playing and avoids others. I enjoy his solo work as well but it has a different feel than many expect which has always been true.
What changed this year was the LIVE performance with Dee and Clive including Becca and Alex. Watching videos on You Tube is always awkward because of camera angles and sound quality. Being there in person becomes an experience many of us will be unable to see depending on location. I am praying that this tour will be closer later this year because I want to be there...

The female singers don't really work for me either imo, especially the use of the washboard - seems a bit lacklustre in some respects. And Dan Crisp's style leads me to wonder how long until he's standing on one leg I've got to agree, as well. I love Martin. LOVE Martin. Check out my current profile pic... you'll see. But this isn't doing it for me. He's a great guitarist. Hell, one of the best, no doubt. Everyone he's had in his band has been wonderful. But yeah, the shows are like a bar cover band playing Tull... a GREAT bar cover band, but a bar cover band nonetheless. Somewhere, I think I read Martin say a few years ago (correct me if I'm wrong... and forgive the misquote - it was something like this) - "There will be 2 tributes on the road from now on. My tribute, and Ian's tribute." Something like that. Well, Ian's "tribute" kind of feels like the real deal. Seeing Ian now feels like seeing Ian years ago (of course, nobody can replace Doane or Martin, but still). Even with Ian's voice, he is THE MAN. Dan Crisp does a good job, but it's nothing spectacular. Ian brought us the Rock Opera (with songs that Martin originally contributed to). He brought us Homo Erraticus (without Martin). He brought us TAAB2 (without Martin). Martin has brought us... um... Back to Steel? Yeah, it was nice. Just nice. I really hate the Martin's solo gig vs Ian's solo gig mentality. Really, I do. And I love Martin. Again, I LOVE Martin. ... But Martin's band is a Tull cover band. Ian IS Tull. This show that Martin is doing now w/ the ladies and the washboard... well, it's just not that good (in my opinion, of course). His unique arrangements of Tull classics are interesting, but not one of them comes close to what Ian and the boys are putting out now. If I were Martin, I'd chose some Tull deep-cuts (North Sea Oil, Cup of Wonder, etc.) and go around playing the underrepresented Tull songs for the die-hard fans who would kill to hear it live. Stick to the arrangements as they are on the album, and find a better singer. Ok, bring on the rocks and flaming arrows. I love you all, but I just had to say it. Martin, I'll see you in concert again, but I won't spend more than $20. Ian, I'll see you again, and I'll pay any price. End rant

I agree. He wrote 99% of the stuff, so it is his music and lyrics. I look forward to Ian's new stuff, he always comes up with something new, he has an amazing talent for writing music that is unlike anyone else....Martin however cannot match him in that department. New album Ian, please...

Haha. Born in 1988, raised by mom and dad (dad being a Tull fan). I just love Ian. He's the greatest.

Martin insists that his current band is the best he has ever played in. I admire his positivity and loyalty but I can't imagine how he could really believe that, having played with Ian Anderson, John Evan, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond and Barriemore Barlow. I was fortunate to see all of the tours by that lineup, and there has never been another band like them.
Martin has been my favorite guitarist for the past 50 years. I particularly remember the show I saw on the 1972 TAAB tour, I was stunned by the passion and intensity of his playing, but I'm convinced that it was inspired by Ian's music - Ian knew how to push Martin to his absolute limit. Although Ian IS Tull, the last half hour of those 70s concerts belonged to Martin and he always amazed the audience. However, as Tull's music toned down after the 70s Martin was more or less relegated to the background,and I feel he lost his confidence... it seemed to me during his last 25 years or so in Tull he played competently but pretty much the same solos every night.
Once Martin left Tull, I think he wanted to reignite that inspired playing that marked his early years in Tull, but he has to realize that he plays his best when someone else writes the songs and leads the band. I hope he finds someone that can coax the best out of him like Ian did. I love Martin and thank him for the many years that he has inspired me with his wonderful playing.
