Jethro Tull at Shepherds Bush Empire.
Awesome gig. support was "Martin Barre and Friends". The Friends turned out to be the rest of Tull so in effect we had two different sets by Tull. The first consisting of Martin's solo stuff. He really is an amzing guitarist. He was also helped out by Willy Porter an american singer/songwriter who plays brilliant acoustic guitar too.
Tull's set proper started with Living in the past and was brilliantly played. Other songs in the set were, in no particular order: Aqualung, Loco Breath, Wind up, My God, Mother Goose, Nothing is easy, Farm on the freeway, a couple of songs from Rupi's dance, Beggers Farm, Songs from the wood, Too old to Rock 'n roll, Heavy Horses and a few more I can't remember. They played for a bit over 2 hours and we all had a great time. The chat between songs was as funny as I've ever heard Ian do.
All in all a great night out.
