Okay, help me out here, folks... Reading MArtin's website, do we reckon that this 'New Day Band' is the 'second band' that Martin mentions on his news page - i.e. the one that isn't the tour with Pat O'May, that will do the full-on Tull show, and that we all hoped might have some Tull alumni in it? Or is there a third, O'May-less band, yet to be announced 'in december' that will do that job, in addition to this band, and the 'legends' band that will spend October in France?
Cheers, Greg

The Borderline London April 22nd. The Wharf Tavistock Devon September 1st Weyfest. Legends ie Fleetwood Mac etc ; JUNE....5th. Parco Expo REIMS...6th. Zenith AMIENS...7th Zenith ROUEN...9th Zenith CAEN.

Cheers, Greg You're confused, I'm confused. His web site could be clearer about all this. I've got a ticket for Tavistock in April so I may (no pun intended) find out more then.

Thanks guys. I'm glad it's not just me who is adrift and dumbfounded. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that third band with Barrie, Andy and Peggy then! Cheers, Greg

There's going to be 3 Tull versions on tour in 2012? Thick as a Brick, Thick as a Fridge and Thick as a Bridge? Las Vegas heard of this and has made a video with a fourth band, Thick as a Prick. Having been inspired by the looniness of the Vegas band's concert poster, Crosby Still Nash and Young are going on tour with Shirley Jones as Thick as a Partridge. Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork, not to be out-challenged, are taking their response on the road as Thick as a Mickey. Brian Wilson, neighbour to Davy Jones, laughing hysterically at the Mickey tour launch, decided to rearrange a new work called Thick as a Stick. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, jealous that Wilson got the lead on them for the nTH time, hurry into the studio to record Thick as a Hick, which is nailed by the St. Cleve Chronicle as being "uninspired, silly and quite official sounding traffic ticket toilet paper.". Ringo leaves again.
All the while, Elton John still can't write anything but Coke-Cola commercial ditties and Keith Richards figures he'll proceed with Memoir 2.0 after starting a new band and telling Mick Jagger he has no talent. Richards on tour as Thick as a Riff.

This "Legends" tour that MB is on seems to be in some large stadiums in France. Some interesting names involved too. i looked at the Reims concert advertisement and this is what it says
Names involved in the tour (so far) from MB's site

If I were old Marty Barre's muse, I might tempt him with the notion of doing at least some trio dates with Doane and Jon. I believe this would hold some real possibilities, additionally I have a higher opinion of Jon, who was guilty only of not being Jethro Tull rock star during his ten years on the job. He otherwise did his job outstanding, gold star. Can't say I'm enthused by the likes of Pat O May, but I suppose that's an area of music I don't know that well. (u know, the kind that sucks)Would rather see him working as a one off with someone like John Renbourn or maybe even Ric Sanders, or my surrogate Martin Barre, with his other talents, Maart. Or even again with Willie Porter who did such a good job opening on some of the Tull dates in 04, using Tull as his band. Some of those songs of his are damn good, so I guess Martin would have to share, which would defeat some of his purpose on what I have no reason not to believe is nothing but a very understandable look into other directions for a minute. Have not heard the first peep out of Ian or Martin that indicates otherwise, just random drama in Tull land. The single most noticable thing is that Ian Anderson, who would be full blown justified in referring to what ever venture he undertakes as Jethro Tull, does not refer to this current venture under that title. I am inspired by my notion of trio dates for Martin by reading of RT doing the same thing in Cali recently and currently, himself, bass and his killer drummer. He says its a cross between Peter Paul and Mary and the JHE!

Good self-assessment by Richard Thompson but I would amend it to be not a 'cross' but an addition...anytime I've taken someone to see RT I make them close their eyes and tell me how many distinct guitarists they hear ( 2 ? 3? 4?) when RT plays alone...that's what makes him so amazing in a class by himself.
Is Martin Barre sounding a bit confused of late? Band forming and gig planning is cleary not second nature to this brilliant musician who has been a foot soldier more than a general thus far.

Who's up for hearing some more Martin Barre solos? The live Tull show didn't give much opportunity for that, but let's remember that each Martin solo pretty much became a pivot point to a major song with Tull. I just listened to Minstrel In The Gallery, title track. Now the work of Martin and Barriemore Barlow on that track is magnificent.
There was a time when that hard edged guitar sound came from the guitar working with the amp, and processing pedals had nothing to do with it, except perhaps some overdrive power. Oh for that tone!

Yes agreed Martins guitar tone in the 70's takes some beating Les Paul/Hamer Sunburst into a pair of Marshall 50's through Marshall 4x12's. Havent heard it sound anywhere near as good since!!!

I apologize in advance for being a bit of a dick...but someone has to say it...a bit quiet over here in Martin Barre-land today, no?
PS-I'll be at any MB gig I can get to, I promise....unless they are booked on days of Ian Anderson band gigs nearby. If they both play a week...I go ian 5, martin 2.....fair ? But I can change my mind if need be, okay ?

Today's edition of A New Day also states "...the worst Tull news of all I guess; in short, it appears to be the end of Jethro Tull as we know it."
This, of course, is contrary to what James Duncan put in his communication with the Forum recently. So who knows? The interview with Martin Barre suggests the end without being definitive & the interview with Ian keeps pretty much off the subject.
What's the betting that, in line with past form (1979/80 & the "A" album):-
1. TAAB 2 is released under the Jethro Tull moniker. 2. The Ian Anderson band is renamed Jethro Tull.
We shall see....

Interesting theory sealion. To many people who are not fans of Jethro Tull, but have heard of them continue to believe that Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull. So I suppose anything's possible.

One area for which I hold nearly as high a regard for Ian Anderson as that of his musicianship is his honor. Probably the single most enlightening development for me in the internet age as regards Jethro Tull is the contempt and lower to upper case innuendo or outright condemnation of the man exists within what would seem to be his most ardent fan base. And all from people who, on a personal basis, no him not a whit. On the breath and focus of his world view alone I would extend him alot of rope. And then there's that music where, even if he were a git, I would still like the music. But I do believe he is anything but. Not pointing to this post in particular, but in general, off the top of my head concerning how much the other musicians are paid, whether he goes on the cheap to find this quality of musician, whether this or that individual who have left the band did so by guilt of the evil headmaster, virtually all with the exception of Cornick 42 years ago not born out by fact, people ready to end their association with him over an impending gig in Israel that he had BETTER play, and he did with a statement of eloquence that should have shamed all his detractors, whether or not he is stewarding his 44 year old enterprise in a fashion suitable to what are "doubtless" his greatest hours at Passion Play or Baker Street Muse. I mean I know the rest of the world who maintain any knowledge of their existence often trivialize them, those later codpiece pics don't help, I mean, I expect that in the real world, was a real surprise to see so much of it in here and other outposts. But I am the guy who was once labeled an Ian Anderson syncophat, the delightful gentleman who used Jeffrey's Play pic at another outpost, once a denizen here. Also he did have a point in going at me about the length of my posts, that the point of boredom is reached well before their conclusion, a blow I am willing to take. IA still remains the man to me, as I have noted on here at least 7 times, of whom Ian Mackinnon, Strathaird farm manager told me, "I could not imagine working for a finer gentleman." And he, unlike Tull forum posters, would know. No he ain't God...not close. But he is that increasingly rare article known as a gentleman.
