TT that's seriously one of my all time fav songs although maybe not that version and that's seriously one hell of a scary avatar you've go there. They frighten the bejesus out of me. Imagine that sitting on a chair next to your bed when your sleeping. Mind you the original Victorian ones were even worse i45.images obliterated by tinypic/suyasg.jpg[/IMG]

Even dummies pretend.
The truth is so hard to deny. The answer is here. The screen never lies.-Ian Anderson

It's cool that Martin is doing publicity and obviously 'trying'....I really hope his shows are well attended and successful...the man deserves it for his skill and the person he is. I have not been impressed with anything I have seen on you tube from his solo shows earlier this year but hold out hope that his gigs will evolve into some kinda 'best possible' stage...for me it would be Tull songs where his lead guitar replaces flute and vocals like in Tull show Pussy Willow and Pibroch and slower ones like Under Wraps and Nursie sans vocals. There have been many moments in Tull shows when Ian was offstage and different iterations of the Martin Barre band absolutely maintained the quality and heat of the with-Ian material ( MB, Allcock and Perry in 88, The guitar solo in 1972 during the Loco/Wind up encore)....can he pull it off for a whole set? Well...first let's see if he can get there at all ! The bar band blues I've heard so far did not boil...barely simmered. Martin needs to listen to some old Tull boots to find his way to the Martin Barre solo show!
A two hour compilation of the very best material with Ian offstage would be a good place to start...who's gonna make the mix CD for him?
BBC Radio Bristol Monday 5th November. The afternoon show with Elsie Rayner, approx 2.35pm.

I've been looking at Martin's website to see what the lineup might be in a hope that it will be better than the last few gigs but alas, no news of any new musicians. While I was browsing his site I was pleased to read this.. "Best recording ever: Mover and Shakers; title track with Vikki Clayton." So here's a reminder of that song with Martin at his best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm4vFDkRANc

I think he played safe and I agree it hasn't worked. A wee bit more imagination needed.

All he has to do is read my post and follow instructions...If he can do it with Ian offstage....he can do it with Ian not in the building....or are we so worked up at Tull gigs we'll consume anything with a familiar Tull melody?

I think Martin was better playing with a tribute band that currently. Need urgently for a vocalist, MB is testing Dan Crisp, was already in Tullianos Convention 2012, I personally think that Dan is not ripe to accompany MB, but it's better than the current to the music of Jethro Tull

To get away from the tribute band sound/look he should do something different. Female lead vocalist? add new instruments although maybe not the squeeze box? different versions of Tull classics? Is he writing new material? That could be added.

Martin can put a cardboard cutout of Ian next to the drum kit drinking a bottle of water...and let loose with some Tull instrumentals: Pussy Willow, Piobroch, Black Satin Dancer are stage tested...I'd add; Jump Start, Back Door Angels, Nothing to Say and some Passion Play and Brick extracts as a start.

I think a nice fit for him would be the Minneapolis based Boiled in Lead, I think Martin is/was in Alberta, so only 1000 miles or so. Folks who know their early material like Old Lead and From the Ladle to the Grave will know exactly what I mean. I know Ken Nicol left Steeleye Span a while back, not sure if thats been filled or not. Or Fairport. O my gawd. It was discussed on the Talk Awhile board briefly with positive response I recall. Frankly I think FC could use Martin. Problem is getting him back. So not a good idea.

Martin Barre's New Day Liz Crosthwaite • Published 22 Nov 2012 www.windsorobserver.co.uk/theguide/goingout/articles/2012/11/22/64584-martin-barres-new-day/REVERED Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre's project, New Day, may be named in reference to a song, but it's also a telling statement. The apparent rift between Tull frontman Ian Anderson and the guitarist seems unlikely to be bridged any time soon, and so, for Martin, now is all about new beginnings. "[Jethro Tull] is broken," Martin told me, as New Day rehearsed for their UK tour. "Sometimes I feel quite empty. Something that supported you for that long… it becomes second nature. Then it's gone; you can never prepare for that. It's like someone retiring, and they feel the ground's been taken from under them. "That's one side, but on the other side I have got total freedom; I get to set my own schedule. It makes my life a lot more happy because I'm dealing with things that I'm in control of." The seeds of the apparent demise of the Anderson-Barre partnership were sown this year when Ian took on tour Tull's seminal Thick As A Brick album alongside his solo sequel, Thick As A Brick 2, without Barre or Tull drummer Doane Perry. It was a decision which surprised many fans. Martin said: "It's difficult, it's not just something that you take for granted, that [the band] can end and you can go on and do other things. You stop doing this huge entity that's supported you so well… It's really starting from absolute scratch." Starting from scratch, for Martin, doesn't mean chucking away the 40-plus years of musical history he made with Jethro Tull. Instead, the 66-year-old has put together a band to play blues favourites and older Tull tracks, with a group of younger musicians, for an intimate tour of venues round the country. Martin admitted that during rehearsals with his band - made up of drummer George Lindsay, guitar player Pat O'May, bass player John Noyce, sax/flute player Frank Mead and singer Dan Crisp - he discovered that teaching others how to play Tull's often complex prog folk wasn't always easy. "The music is pretty complicated; I guess I have taken it for granted, being brought up on it for 40 years," he explained. "And then you start involving people from outside and realise how difficult it is. They have problems learning it and understanding. It's quite difficult and it takes a lot of time. "The songs we are doing, probably about eight or 10 are Jethro Tull bits of music, but songs that have not been played for 20 or more years because they are the more rock-sounding side of Jethro Tull. "It's exciting to do those things. And the rest of it is made up of my favourite old blues standards. I love being able to arrange music and organise it. It's the cream on the cake. It's so much fun to do that." He revealed that getting to play the rockier Tull tunes was liberating: "It's a very exciting show, musically - it's heads-down and enjoy the music. It's a good atmosphere and that's something that's been missing from things I have been doing for the last few years. It was getting more and more similar and safe and quiet in Jethro Tull. [This is] back to the roots of being in a band." Martin Barre's New Day play Arlington Arts Centre on Saturday, at 8pm. Tickets cost £17.50 This article appeared in Royal Borough Observer 22 Nov 12
