NOTES:
Very nice show. A great example of the old saying in underground taping circles...LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!! lol. There
is a shit ton of banter and song introductions in the first set, it was hard to track, I did my best to try and keep
most of that on the end of the prior song. Ian was in a pretty good mood until he got some serious feedback in his
in-ear monitor during Beggar's Farm. Holy fuck was he pissed. I guess the PA was being run from a local company.
He literally ran to the soundboard off stage during the song to get it fixed...pretty wild shit...jumping up and down like
he got stung by a bee on his head. Suprisingly, this did not disrupt the song at all really...and he shook it off pretty good,
the rest of the show went off ok. I think this led to the dropping of two songs in the second set (Farm on the Freeway
and Wind Up). Both songs were played at the other show I attended and seemed to be staples in the set during this time. Too
bad really, as this show is pretty fine IMO and the set was stellar and could have been INSANE. An incredible version of A New
Day Yesterday, I love Ian on harmonica and he nails it during this song...the rare Up The Pool is STELLAR...and I'm pretty
sure Ian played Mando during Weathercock but I could be wrong since I hear a good bit of flute in that song now...The acoustic
first set and electric second set was a great way to present TULL IMO, I loved this format and we truely get some great tunes
this show (and during the entire tour - the rotations in the other show I taped during November are amazing). I'm sure most of
you probably don't have this one. I know some do, I've seen it on some lists but this is an upgrade in sound for sure (if its
mine and I'm pretty sure it is, since I don't remember any other sources) so grab it, its worth the bandwidth.

This was seeded a long time ago on DIME but this is a different mastering, the other is lacking (can't remember who did it
but it wasn't sj). This is the first of two shows I taped in Nov 2004 and clearly from what I remember, and from listening
back to this and the other, these are some of the best gigs of "later" day Tull I've seen. Ian's voice was really good and he
was singing like in the old days...the band was supremely tight also. This was shortly before Ian changed the lineup again,
for the worst IMO. I'll upload the other show shortly. No major EQ, just a small bump on the low end, and frankly it could use
more so you can adjust to taste if you so choose.

Repost if you like, but please keep info and file set intact.
