Yeah, true. Well, regarding the setlist, it's partly true; I would love to see "Skating away on the thin ice of the new day" performed again rather than the song that bears my name with its "legendary" flute solo... The problem, at least in some of these cases, I think lies in Anderson's voice, damaged by "Under wraps" before and the Australian fall afterwards. I think (it's just my opinion) that the old pieces are all or almost all incredibly difficult for him now: of course, people expect them, and so the choice falls on the masterpieces of a lifetime. When I saw them in Milan, aside from the usual tracks from "Aqualung," they played "Nothing is easy" and the stunning "For a thousand mothers," and good old Ian struggled immensely. On the other hand, there was a magical atmosphere during the more "recent" pieces (he sang "Budapest" and "Farm on the freeway" like a god). I repeat, maybe I've said something true; still, it's just a hypothesis of mine. Take care.

Wow, I feel important... so I might be less exhaustive than the other two illustrious Tullologists, because I'm not familiar with, given my recent '70s-'80s streak (but I’ll catch up, I will...) "Dot.com" and, as mentioned in the post reviewing "A", except for the beautiful "The Pine Marten's jig". "Roots to branches" is definitely a good work from the '90s: some truly remarkable tracks (for example, I find the title track, "Wounded, old and treacherous," and "Valley" to be beautiful, even though the voice in the latter makes me a bit sad thinking about what it once was). "Stormwatch" is the one I love the least from the folk trilogy, but only because of the overwhelming love I have for the other two (which I have reviewed); however, it is undoubtedly beautiful: to the songs already rightly mentioned, I gladly add "Orion" and the wonderful "Home," for which I yearn with a thousand shivers. And then the long and beautiful "Flying Dutchman"... Wow! Finally, "Too old to rock'n'roll: too young to die!". A bit "inconsistent in the middle part, but little gems like "Salamander" and "Pied Piper", and a "The chequered flag" that I, on the other hand, can adore in its lamentation that is anything but Tullian, I don't know why... but it is a Jethro Tull album from the '70s, that's enough of a guarantee, I think. I hope I was exhaustive, goodbye and thank you for your consideration, it was a pleasure.

Well... They are all six masterpieces, or almost... the review is more than justified, in my opinion. And I prefer it to the previous one. From the monstrous "Supper's ready" I would add "As sure as eggs is eggs (aching men's feet)", that is the last movement, with the tearful finale. Tearful, I swear.

Objective, it is objective...

Thank you all for the comments :D

I agree with shoot...

Good, ironic, and well-written.
