Anderson will also play Europe throughout April and during breaks in the North American schedule. The announcement recommends that all attendees be in their seats five minutes prior to the announced starting time, adding, "Latecomers may not be admitted to their seats until a suitable gap in the performance."

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
thx! I'm there. Noticed the keyboard player also orchestra conductor - will Ian have an orchestra with?
Just found the Thick as a Brick 40th Anniversary release on ebay after looking for quite a while. Now I have the full set of Steven Wilson surround sound remasters of Tull - and they are all phenomenal.... too bad he is only playing Ravinia in the Chicago area ..... hard to get there from where I live..... may have to check out New Buffalo - that is less of a drive for me....
wish he'd make up with some of the old members of tull

This isn't exactly raising the "Barre"

It isn't that bad. Can't you just come downtown, park and take the Metra up there? It lets you literally outside the gates. You don't have to drive there.
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
I just saw their show at The Beacon a few weeks back and it was a fun time. Not so great that I would go again in less than a years time, but good to see the Tull music and Ian Anderson perform it live.
