People Would Say That I Was Just Good Fun

Another Harry's Bar is a song that I find to be very pretty. It's one of many acoustic Jethro Tull songs, which always seemed to me to be his strong suit. He recently said that he's an acoustic guy with a lot of noisy friends. He didn't bring those friends to the show I saw tonight. He didn't do Harry's Bar, but this was the general style of this unplugged set. He did do this one, which he said has come back to bite him. Though he admits that his he's not that heavy he said tonight that his waste has grown enough to cause him to lie in bed and experience abject self loathing.

He played Serenade To A Cuckoo and it looked and sounded very much like this video (except that he was dressed more conservatively). He did Rocks On The Road, which I was unfamiliar with, and it looked and sounded very much like this. The second set opened with this blues number, Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You. They also did Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square. March The Mad Scientist was another nice acoustic song they did which is on the other end of the spectrum of the stereotype of the Tull sound.

He didn't have an orchestra for Griminelli's Lament but did have another flautist to play off of and it was a beautiful. He played 19 great songs, I'll just mention one more - and I'm purposely singling out the more obscure and less stereotypical ones. Here's Mother Goose sounding in a very similar setting (though a smaller group of players).

There's much to say about why I went and what it meant. It's here, in the white spaces.
