Watch the whole concert Thanks a lot bunkerfan. Pretty good performance but no acoustic guitar? C’mon Ian, the flute is great and all but the acoustic guitar is a pivotal piece of Tull. Dump Clasp and SFTW ( just can’t pull it off vocally) for Thick and My God at the very least. Then dump For a Thousand Mothers for Budapest. Also dump Love Story for something like Dangerous Veils or anything off RTB. Think that the new stuff is really good (includes Hunt By Numbers) but IMO you should exclude the political remarks, that’s a turn off. Remember you recently (pre ZG) scolded an interviewer who tried to bait you with a political question in referring to a song in which you replied “ Nice try… I don’t do politics.” You should keep to your word. Budapest would be great but I still like Clasp and Love Story. The others you mention, I agree with

Cheers Ron and as you can see, I'm back posting again Did you have a good birthday? I'm glad you are back sir! Yes the birthday was great. I had some ice cream cake, with Guinness drizzled over the top of it... after I ate it of course. Glad it was only a short break! Internet stuff can be finicky for sure. Was it this type of ice cream cake?

Because of a distribution dispute, The Troggs' single was available on two competing labels: Atco and Fontana. Because both pressings were taken from the identical master recording, Billboard combined the sales for both releases, making it the only single to simultaneously reach No. 1 for two companies.
