Well it seems Jethro Tull have hit the continental part of the tour in their stride with a slightly re-vamped set list to accommodate a new song “Hair In The Wine Cup“. Of the songs as a whole, “A Change Of Horses” has now become an established fixture and is even more the epic that I had hoped it would be from when I first heard it last September in Yeovil, Somerset. It’s also good to report that the short rest between the UK and continental legs of the tour have benefited Ian’s voice - maybe this is the way forward with more rest days and fewer concerts. No real surprises in the set list although “My God” continues to send shivers down the spine and “Budapest” is as majestic as ever. The new song “Hair In The Wine Cup” is in its early stages of development. My impression is that it needs additional rehearsal which will obviously happen the more times it’s performed in concert as it seemed a bit ragged in parts. It’s in the Rupi’s Dance/SLOB mould with accordion from John O’Hara, bongos from Doane Perry and some nice bass playing from David Goodier. Martin Barre’s playing is subdued but hopefully he’ll crank it up to eleven once the song becomes more familiar to the band. Set List: Dun Ringill/Beggars Farm/Life Is A Long Song/Jack In The Green/Hair In The Wine Cup/Eurology/Nothing Is Easy/A New Day Yesterday/Cross Eyed Mary/Songs From The Wood/Bouree/A Change Of Horses/Pastime With Good Company/My God/Budapest/Aqualung/Locomotive Breath

Interesting changes. I for one would've liked to have heard them playing My God at 1 of the UK shows. Where did Hair In The Wine Cup and Pastime with Good Company come from? Surely there must be enough material for Tull to put out another studio album. Can't say I've ever heard of these 2 tracks. Still looks a good solid setlist though.

Hey now Spenny, Past Time With Good Company is merely the actual title of a piece originally titled King Henry's Madrigal that first popped up in 78, has been on a few commercially released items. This new title is in fact a centuries old title and its actual original, one of I understand 2 penned by none other than King Henry VIII, the other the far more well known Greensleeves. (A few versions of which have been recorded by John Coltrane, highly recommended) That other one the Hare in the Winecup you have not heard of because nobody has, its brand spankin new. Agreed I think they have a record that to me will be a monster but of course will not sell very well, unless they get Lucia to do that monumental version of Kashmir, which I believe puts the original to shame and ends up with Tulls stamp all over it. I am counting on they're using all the people who have had a go with the band or Ian in recent years, would be a shame to leave any of it out, including the individual's own pieces, and there have been alot of them, not the least of which was Ann Marie Calhoun's Bluegrass in the Backwoods I think it was plus her additions to the King Henry piece and My God, she is a born again Christian, and having the chance to converse with her back then, it was something of a step for her to even be at peace performing it, only after gaining full understanding of the lyrical intent. They to my mind have potentially a double cd with not a duff track on it. In fact I think its years since they have recorded a duff track, solo or otherwise. I am probably the only demented soul who would want to see another version of Grimminelli's Lament, which I believe was dead beautiful with Lucia, and certainly the Moz'art Medley w Lucia, damn nice. East Kilbride, cannot say I know that one, and I did a fair bit of traipsing around Scotland, some good part on foot, in 82, 3 and 5 particularly the central and west highlands, it is deep in my bones, in fact I even call myself Skara Brae on a different site, a neolithic age settlement up in the Orkneys where all kinds of crazy white man rituals were goin down about 3000 bc, I think I was a centaur at the time, and I would be a very sad boy if I thought I would never see it again, Love it deeply.
