73 years old and still has that same infectious energy ! What a great guitarist and a very personable guy.

can't listen to tull now without martin, fabulous player + personality.

Martin Lancelot Barre. What a cool name for a British guitar god. What a cool name period. He really got better with time. Surpassed many of his fellow guitarists from his generation.

Clive Bunker is still a fantastic drummer.

I went to a school dance in 1971 (I was 15). The local band, Smoketree, played a cover of "With You There To Help Me". Went out the next days and bought "Benefit". Never looked back. Favorite band for 50 Years!!

Absolutely! When you're that age {me too 15} first impressions set you on a path, although you don't have to stay on it. I saw YES on the 22nd of Dec 1970 in Shrewsbury so that sort of set my prog rock course although I'd already heard 'This Was' at my mates house when we used to go through his big brothers record collection.

Wow!!! Benefit was my intro into all things Tull. Saw them many times since TAAB on. Looking to see Martin Barre come to Chicago area with this incarnation. Very impressive already. All hope is not lost. This band does it for me!

What a great show! The singer was close enough without mimicking Ian. Well done and great band, especially with Clive Bunker in the mix. Barre, well, he's a legend and one of the most underrated guitarist ever...period.

It should be mentioned here that one of the drummers is original Tull drummer Clive Bunker and the keyboardist is Dee Palmer, Tull keyboardist on Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, & Stormwatch. Dee also did all of the orchestral arrangement on every Tull album up thru Stormwatch.

Love the song choices. Ian wouldn't live in the past with all the great tunes from the first three lps. Loved hearing the tunes that put Jethro Tull firmly on my radar back in 1968-9

Great to see Clive behind that drum kit!!

Very well done ! As a Tull fan,I would go to a Martin show before Ian.I like the addition of Clive, Dee,and the ladies,not to mention the rest of the band.

Martin is still just phenomenal

Martin Barre is still my favorite rock guitarist in the world!

Thanks! I was the video narrator. It's great to finally catch a bit of my stuff. LOL

Going to see Martin + band, Clive and Dee this weekend, looking forward to it...Dan Crisp, the front man, seems to have adopted Ian's mannerisms and range pretty well as unfortunately Ian cant hit the highs anymore...always a great writer, acoustic guitarist, and flutist tho. Looks like Martin still has his chops and amazing energy for his years, nice to see and hear. Saw Tull many times in the 70's so this band should be fantastic to see at the small intimate Narrows Center in MA.

Pure progressive rock , excellent Martin one of the best guitarist ever existed .

Love Martin's playing. Love Tull. All I can say is: "Get that up ya, Florian...!"😆

Last show I saw before the Pandemic in São Paulo, Brazil, March 2020. Spectacular, sensational. Martin Barre is of extreme professionalism. Flawless show!!! Return to Brazil Martin Barre!!!

It's so strange to see and hear Tull tunes without Ian onboard, I just shut my eyes and envision him onstage without his flute as the singer is quite reminiscent of Ian's vocal demise. The background video was an interesting touch, similar to the failed Tullavision screen in the mid 70's. Long live Martin Barre and those of JT still left. Adding Clive and Dee to the ensemble was awesome!

Great to hear this music live again. Nice also to have someone singing Ian's parts so well. The last Tull concerts I went to (with Ian) showed his voice wasn't as strong as it was in the old days unfortunately. Still great musicianship of course. Martin hasn't lost any of his magic and what a great line-up.

Please power on. We can't get enough. Thanks Martin and Band Love you all.

Fabulous - cant wait for gigs to start up again so I can travel to see such talent!

Just saw them front row last night in Arlington, TX. Crisp was spot on except when his guitar strap broke and he didn't miss a beat singing. So many of Ian characteristics and great job with his singing...great guitarist as well. Of course Martin is so talented. What great guitaists I saw!!! Full of energy and humor. Fabulous show!

Martin Barre - one of the most unterrated Guitar Players of all times !

Es que no se puede entender lo que hizo Ian Anderson destruyendo Jethro Tull . Es incomprensible botar a Martín Barre A Giddings D Perry y J Noyce para formar una banda totalmente insípida sin fuerza ni personalidad con músicos de muy bajo nivel . Lo único que puedo interpretar porque deshizo a Jethro Tull es que Martin Barre ya lo estaba opacando con su guitarra ya que Ian Anderson no podía cantar casi y tomo la desicion de salir de los miembros de la banda para trabajar con músicos que el dominara a su antojo . Que miserable fue Ian Anderson.

Can't wait to see him in Florida !!!

@@thommyh.4492 Yes Ian Anderson IS Jethro Tull. It's hard not to focus on the crazy looking freak on stage. I certainly am no fan of his decision to fire Glenn Cornick. He did write some very original and unique stuff in their first 5 lps though. The rest not so much. But their live shows I always thought were entertaining except for the Passion Play tour....that sucked. Got dragged to two other shows after that. Both thankfully better because he stopped playing crap from Passion Play

This Martin Barre band is fantastic to listen to. Nobody is trying to steal the spotlight every second while on stage. They are well rehearsed. Dan Crisp has come into his own as the lead vocal. He doesn't have to strain to be heard or have the songs transposed down to be vocalized by a dead voice as Ian Anderson. All of the members are friendly to chat with during intermission or after the concert is over while signing merchandise, posters, CD's, etc. Darby Todd matches the old master Clive Bunker quite well on drums. Alan Thomson is quite adept with backup vocals and bass. He even provides keyboards on the recordings. Adding Dee Palmer for keyboards for the tour was a bonus. Dee is quite a sport for an octogenarian. It's pleasant to attend a concert where you don't cringe every few minutes from a dead voice box. Jethro Tull is never to perform again, but Martin's version certainly keeps the spirit alive and well.

Read interviews with some of the old members, not everything came from Ian's mind, he had plenty of help from the likes of Martin Barre, John Evan, Dave Palmer, etc. The way it usually worked was Ian would come to the band with a bare bones song (usually just acoustic guitar and lyrics/melody), and then the entire band would sit down and develop the songs, including adding their own musical bits and pieces into it. It's true that Ian was the spark that lit the fire and should always be considered first among equals in Jethro Tull, but the music would not have been the same without the input from the other guys.
