Hope you love it. He's a different kind of artist. You can tell from his presence and his conversation on the stage that he really cares about the issues behind his music, and that he is there to reach hearts and minds, not simply to perform music. If you're familiar with his entire catalog, you will hear some things that maybe special to you, and you won't mind overlooking the fact that a few of the blockbusters are missing from the playlist. The performance of Aqualung at the end of the show was extraordinary, and was arranged to extend far beyond the recording, more like the overture at the beginning of a musical. Make sure that you're familiar with the lyrics, you'll be tempted to call them a libretto by the time that performance is over, and to be able to relate them to the video that accompanies the music performance. It's quite heart-wrenching in the way I think Mr Anderson intended the composition to be originally.
So good
My wife and I have tix to see them at the end of this month, October, in New Hampshire, and on our anniversary. Very much looking forward to it.
Congrats on your anniversary!
Hope you love it.

I was there last night! Good show.
Easily the best part of the concert imo
Ian fucking killed it at the end
I remember when Tull carried full production. How the mighty have fallen.
Well done and varied, but JT doesn't do it in E minor. They do the theme in A minor and the variation in D minor.
E minor? Isnt bourree in B flat major? hummmmm or E flat major?
I think the original song was written in C
E minor it is
