Donde in Mexico viven usted? Probablamente debes viajar a Texas o California por concert este ano.

This is so great. I'm going to log onto You Tube later ( work won't allow it) and deliver praise.

No Ian, don't ever retire...but a little help around the store ( Ryan) doesn't make you less a hero !

I hated Nixon's 'silent majority'...but do we Tull fans have a much broader conspiracy than we think ?

Advice to self: Eat right, look both ways before crossing the street, take care, survive until June of this year and witness Ian Anderson playing and singing A Passion Play at two or more venues. I can do this, I really can.

VERY strong setlist

As expected, nothing on New Shoes as mind boggling as 'Old Aces' but a lot of new music, good moments, intersting variations and just plain TULL. Studio Quatrain sounds really good to me.

Looking forward to You Tube evidence of the APP edit. I wonder if this set list is taste of 50th year tour...uncanny that first 7 songs precede Benefit. Most recent song from Crest....I wonder if Banker Bets or Frankenfeld will show up at all.

Sounds definitive to me...How could one of us not remember if we saw APP once or twice...or if Tull played once or twice in any particular venue on that tour?

Ian's worst lyric is in Habanero Reel ( Goats and Pigs and Chickens , too)...or maybe, 'in the age of science, the complete appliance'...WHAT ? But that does not decrease my looking forward to getting home from work and, hopefully unwrapping my new 'Heavy Horses'. I have already accepted the unlikelyhood that there will be anything on it quite as stunning as 'Old Aces'...and speaking of complaints...why 'new shoes'? Why not 'Change of Horses'?

Though I cannot help exactly, I can advise you to throw out logic when it comes to that era Tull . They were ambitious to the point of illogical bookings. They added nighst very frequently, when gigs sold out fast, and sometimes it was not possible to keep the concerts consecutive...Playing in Seattle, dashing up to nearby Vancouver for a night ( albeit with border crossing complications) and coming back for an added night fits the pattern of those days. In 1975, when they added 3 nights in LA to the original 3 nights planned and promptly sold out, they used the 48 hours in between the LA shows to play single nights in Tucson and El Paso. Ian was a madman and did not hold with nights off if he was paying crew and truckers etc.

Always among the songs to introduce friends to Tull....or use as musical greeting card for variety of occasions. My favorite entry level Tull on dates is still Velvet Green. The middle instrumental part such a bullseye for description of how love feels without using words. Words describing love has been done to death. Ian plays it.

A few notes of APP are almost enough to make me add to the two dates I've booked. 2 more are within reasonable range and this morning's coffee is telling me. ' do it'.Thanks Geo and Backass for guiding me.

Between you and Remy, I have stolen a scandalous amount of work time on you tube. Sometimes I take a minute to remember how it felt in about 1974...when 10 minutes of Tull footage of any sort, anytime, any quality...would be BIG NEWS. Jeez, when Slipstream came out, in 1981, I would sabotage my own dates by insisting on crossing town on a bike or motorcycle to show some poor woman 'Black Sunday' so she would 'understand me'...yes, the alcohol made me do that.....and the result was numerous first dates that did not become second dates and eternal hate of my Tull friend's then girlfriend ( he had BETA and the precious copy of Slipstream). The Tull friend will be stopping by my office soon. I'm giving him my Dee Palmer CD and ordering another....he gets the copy signed to me but I want him to have it ASAP.

Non sequiter because I am too lazy to change threads and because I love the passion in this thread so far...guess what> Dee Plamer's album bursts out as a TULL album by about the fourth full listen. IT IS SOOOOOOO GOOD.

Sorry I panicked...I saw the tweet at work and could not listen to the podcast. Phew and thanks, Jim. No one loved Ryan more than me...but Ian retire or me retire from Tull concerts? Well, you saw my horror at the thought. Please sir, can we have some more ?

Plenty of sides to the issue...and no doubt in my mind that companies like Monsanto are greedy, unethical and profit-driven to the exclusion of all other considerations. I think Maddog is right...full assessment of so called progress and how science balances serving of mankind vs hastening catastrophe is a big and slow job and sometimes does fall behind during on the ground emergencies in food and water supply.
