    Irrelevent Music Part II

    Saw Ian Anderson last night.

    Backed by the usual guitar, bass drums and keyboard...
    ...as well as a 12 piece orchestra.

    The good: He played what he bloody well wanted to play and how he wanted to play it. Much classical music in the first act. Much Tull in the second act.

    The bad: His voice is shot. Sylables trailed off into silence. Might have helped if they had him miked a bit stronger.

    The sublime: He winked and laughed then they launched into an instrumental version of Zepplin's "Kashmir" in which his very talented and very beautiful lead violinist, Lucia Micarelli*, practically set her strings on fire. A ripping good piece which resulted in a tumultuous standing ovation. Clearly the highlight of the night.

    You lucky Dog! I'm jealous.

    I've seen Jethro Tull in concert several times, but never Ian by himself. I always thought he would be awesome in an unplugged concert in the round kind of situation.

    I saw Tull several years ago in Indy, and his voice was not in good shape then. At first, I thought he was just having a bad night, but later I heard live recordings of them from that time period which showed it wasn't just a one night thing. I was very sorry to see that, because I really liked a lot of Tull's music. Maybe Ian really is too old to rock and roll, but too young to die!
