Just woke up the day after the amazing tull concert in copenhagen last night. Which marks my first Tull concert ever! Sadly photography was not allowed but what an awesome concert it was! Saori Jo wasnt there for some reason, so Ian started it off by just appearing out of nowhere it seemed, and started the talking the intro of Dun Ringill. The set list was: 1. Dun Ringill 2. Beggar's Farm 3. Life is a long Song 4. Jack in the Green 5. Hair in the wine Cup 6. Eurology (amazing performance) 7. Nothing is Easy 8. A new Day Yesterday 9. Cross Eyed Mary 10. Songs from the Wood (One of my favourite tracks, though the vocals seemed very challenging for Ian ) 11. Bouree -- Intermission -- 12. A Change of Horses 13. Past time with Good Company (King Henrys Madrigal, in honor of King Henrys 500th anniversary) 14. My God 15. Budapest 16. Aqualung 17. Locomotive Breath (Encore) During the last two songs, the crowd (consisting mostly of people a lot older than me, no offense) went pretty crazy which was cool. And one drunken old witch suddenly starting sprinting down the corridor trying to get on stage.. She was tackled pretty badly by a Security Staff member and was then "removed". All in all.. absolutely amazing night with the best band in the world! Oh and I did of course aquire an aqualung Tshirt of the tour

Thanks for the info and set list kleynan. How was Hair/Hare? Sounded a bit under-rehearsed on the audio I've got. I must admit that the use of the accordion on songs is beginning to grate with me - should use the keyboard on them as Andy G used to. His use of the dreaded "squeezy thing from hell" was kept to a minimum.

Hair worked fairly well, being pretty early in the set it was refreshing, afterwards it stands in the shadows of My God and the 2nd part of the set in general And normally I would agree with you on the accordion, but I was actually positively surprised by it last night, he played it pretty well in A Change of Horses and King Henrys Madrigal. At some point O'Hara played the Thick as a Brick flute notes on the keyboard, I think it was during the piano intro of My God, and for a split second I thought they were actually going to play it! But they didnt.. but even without TAAB the concert was a great success!

Thanks for the review Kleynan but moreso for the image of the drunken old witch makin a beeline for the precious and gettin cleaned out Ronnie Lott (American football player from awhile back with superior tackling skills) style in transit. Had a surprising interaction with the all new SFTW from the Manchester show last night, that being that I really liked it, might have been my state of mind going off to sleep, might require a appreciation of a Thelonious Monk style of melodic interpretation but i now can see what I believe he is trying to create within the changes of the voice that created that 33 years ago. Not expecting to find much company down that corridor.

Looks to me like the set-list and the tour in general is steadily improving...all the more reason for dates to be added in the western US....kinda tempting to do a quick RT to Chicago...as much for the chance to go with Ray...but can't imagine how i could work the rubik's cube of time off work, custody schedule haggling, cheap enough flight and very small...but not non-existent risk that something goes awry on the Tull end by the last night of the American tour. I've travelled twice to shows that got cancelled (LA in 84 and San Diego, I think, in 88 or 89)...in each case, last nite of the tour..

Yeah Ravinia is one of the great ones, I did hear the pavillion was sold out a while back, but both times I saw them there I bought a ticket outside for shows also sold out. At the very least you know you have some place you would be encouraged to stay Bernie.
