Good show but could have been great...Excellent supporting band...1st half of show slow and a bit disappointing, 2nd half started to really get going... Never really felt that he loosened up to really jam, and his band could have supported it if he had....Written on Nov 15 2009

A good concert, but it could have been great. Ian had a race horse band that spent most of the night being used to give kiddy rides around the ring. A jazz musician of Ian's caliber would have exercised and stretched the limits of his fellow musicians. Ian appeared to need control and the spotlight at the same time. The other musicians were rooted to their stools while Ian cavorted about like a nymph. Ian's singing voice is non-existent and no one else had a microphone. The relatively few numbers when he used the flute and allowed the band to soar with him were spectacular. Also, we were also teased and taunted by the excellent solo outings of band. Too bad Ian could not get out of his own way.Written on Nov 10 2009

Description
Ian Anderson is known throughout the world of rock music as the flute and voice behind the legendary Jethro Tull. Tull formed in 1968 out of the amalgamation of the John Evan Band and McGregor's Engine, two blues-based local UK groups. Still enjoying a lengthy and ongoing career, Jethro Tull has released 30 albums, selling more than 60 million copies since the band first performed at London's famous Marquee club. After undertaking more than 2500 concerts in 40 countries throughout three decades, Tull plays typically 100 concerts each year to longstanding, as well as new fans worldwide.
Widely recognized as the man who introduced the flute to rock music, Ian Anderson remains the crowned exponent of the popular and rock genres of flute playing. So far, no pretender to the throne has stepped forward. Ian also plays ethnic flutes and whistles together with acoustic guitar and the mandolin family of instruments, providing the acoustic textures which are an integral part of most of the Tull repertoire.
Anderson has recorded four diverse solo albums in his career: 1983's eclectic-electric "Walk Into Light"; the flute instrumental "Divinities" album for EMI's Classical Music Division in 1995 which reached number one in the relevant Billboard chart, and the more recently recorded, and critically acclaimed, acoustic collections, "The Secret Language of Birds", released in 2000, and "Rupi's Dance" in 2003.
