That's the pigeon one, isn't it?  Beautiful song.

Yes, they played King of Rome at the end of their set.  Wonderful!

I must agree with you David, I have also seen them many times and have never failed to be enthralled.

I will be seeing them this Thursday headlining the Woodland Stage at Bearded Theory Festival and am genuinely excited.
I believe King of Rome is back in the set which could be embarrassing for me as whenever I have seen them play it I have started bawling my eyes out!!  

Sounds like a fine result.  I don't understand extreme negative views (like Nick's) of the band.  I've seen them a dozen times or more and I think they're one of the best bands I've ever seen live -in all their formats - 4 piece, 5-piece, 7-piece, 12-piece, with Orchestra etc.  As always, horses for courses, I'm sure.

The only time I saw them they were a pretty miserable bunch (from what I could see). They were sat in a semi circle , way back on the stage , and were bathed(not sure if thats the right description!) in a dark blue light and were barely visible. I wont describe the music, i left after about 10 minutes, suffice it to say, never ever again..

My copy of Jethro Tull's Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition arrived yesterday. It has been some years since I have heard either Under Wraps or Fly By Night, so I'm taking a listen and finding I do still enjoy them. They are quite different from much of what went before, and Under Wraps was definitely 'marmite' for many JT fans.  

Like all of the boxsets, it is a lovely job, with a lot of information about the albums, interviews with Ian Anderson, Peggy, Martin Barre and others aboutt he making of, etc.  Each album is presented with the original programmed drums and with updated drum programming (apparently they thought about getting a real drummer in to redo them, but it didn't work).  And there's a live BBC recording from Hammy Odeon (the day after the one recorded on London Fields), and a Bluray with all the music in 5.1 and a couple of videos.

I'm hoping that Crest of a Knave will be the next one out, and then I think I'll have all I want - JT wise, anyway! - to the relief of my wallet!

But these Tull boxsets really are pretty much the gold standard for presentation at a pretty reasonable price, compared to what some people ask for sets with much less quantity or information.

We have a guy who sells records and CDs at the market in Okehampton every Saturday, and our Tuesday market here in Hatherleigh. After seeing him at the Lindisfarne gig recently I got chatting to him about music and after mentioning that I was going to see Steeleye last week, he pulled out a bunch of Steeleye albums (had them all) and Maddy Prior ones, so I have picked up Year, 3 For Joy and Hooked On Glory (the two Maddy Prior Band albums from 1982/3) from him over the last couple of weeks (and Yes' 90125 too) - all for a tenner.

He held it in, but you could tell he wasn't really. They ended up switching out one song because he didn't think the piano could cope with whatever they were planning to play and we got Here's The Tender Coming instead (I wasn't unhappy about that).

Good lord! RT playing a Gibson SG! May not mean much to civilians, but for Thompophiles it’s astonishing!

Can't imagine Adrian was very happy about that!
