reviewedmusic.com/2011/live-music-review-byron-bay-bluesfest-day-5-25-apr/Tonight there was a decision to be made; a choice between seeing Bob Dylan and Jethro Tull. While a great many opted for the former, given that I’m going to have the chance to see Dylan on the Tuesday night, I’ve chosen to stay in the Crossroads Tent for the Tull. I’m the youngest person that I can see in the general vicinity, but the groups of 50-something men standing around me, passing around a spliff, don’t seem like terrible company.
Flute-wielding front-man Ian Anderson doesn’t appear to have lost any of his energy or charisma in the years since the group’s 1968 debut album, and frolics Pan-like around the stage while cymbals crash and Martin Barre’s guitar wails around him. After cheekily slagging off prog rock acts Yes and Genesis, the band launch into a (somewhat redacted) version of their 43-minute 1972 classic Thick As A Brick.
Given the band’s sound, I’m not quite sure how they wound up on the Bluesfest line-up, but as they move from their own work, to a flute-centric cover of J.S. Bach’s Bouree, such musings are forgotten as the folks in this tent start getting to classical music in a way that the original composers likely never even imagined.
The band too are having a great time; Anderson grinning widely whenever his signature flute isn’t at his lips – and occasionally when it is, Barre stepping up to the front of stage to launch his electric solos over the greying, but jumping and fist-pumping crowd. With the end fast approaching, all stops are pulled out for a towering rendition of 1971 hit Aqualung and any twinges I felt about not taking the chance to see both Bob Dylan sets have been well and truly put to bed.
