Ian Anderson
Peabody Opera House
St Louis, Missouri
July 14, 2013

I wrote a mini review for a Tull discussion group which I have pasted below.

Ian was wonderful! I had a less than wonderful experience last year so it was so
nice to have them in my own home town. The sound mix was great. All the band
members played their parts very well. I'd like to mention John O'Hara on keys,
really did a great job. I think David Goodier is a great player and Scott did�
a great job on the drums- I nudged Anita just before Scott's big solo opening
side 2 of TAAB (she's a drummer you know!). I have said before that Florian is a
great player and when they were playing the 13 or so minute version of TAAB a
couple of years ago I really thought he nailed it, no exception this time. He is
a great talent but I run across Ian doing Tull classics at some of the festivals
and there you really miss Martin (I'm so glad I can say that!!)

The venue they played here is great, I've been there a few times since
renovation and hope to go often. The sound was perfect- thanks to venue and
crew. Interestingly, I thought the band was more into the second TAAB. They
really tore it up. St Louis Post Dispatch gave the show a great review also-
I'll post that in our files probably tomorrow. I took a lot of photos, I seem to
watch shows through a lens now- I took over 1000 at McCartney last year, that
was just the biggest show ever! I'll post some of my Ian shots tomorrow also. It
is a bit disturbing to me that the band does not get much light. I could not
Shoot O'Hara until� the second set, he did get the spot a bit then. There were
also less great moments with Florian to shoot, last year I got some really great
ones of Ian and him and this year I got some nice ones but not so hot as last.

We came in maybe 15 minutes to show time, I headed for a bottle of water and
while going that way ran into Ryan, I called his name and he stopped for a
minute, I told him I'd seen the Chicago show and really looked forward to this
one. He was very nice. His performance was also great. Ian's voice was in good
shape for Ian and he and Ryan went together well. Ian is of course such a great
performer and Ryan sometimes matched him move for move. I like his theatre
history and think it adds to the band. I'll be interested to see if he still
tours when TAAB is done.

Don

Thanks to Humbug for Sharing his great recordings. I have very lazily copied some of his
text- performers to be exact.
I also stole his set list and tweeked slightly to match mine!

One last bit from me- I have been a Tull fan since 72 when my older sister gave me Living
In The Past.I have seen them whenever I could and bought all the records. I think this is
a great and historical tour, I wish we could have had this sort of recording stuff for
those Fabulous 1970's shows!!!

Something else to note. I took some 500 photos at the show. I have included quite a few
and that will require some download tics,if you don't want them I imagine you can set
your software to not download them.
