Welcome to Volume 47 of the MRDR Master Series. Before the world came to a halt, the Martin Barre Band brought their "Celebrating 50 Years Of Jethro Tull" tour to the small village of Custoza in the province of Verona. MRDR were on hand to capture the night's performance.

Martin has assembled a spectacular band to pay tribute to the legacy of his old band. Dan Crisp, an excellent choice on lead vocals does an outstanding job filling in and replicating Ian Anderson's signature singing style without making it a carbon copy.

One thing that really stands out the is what an intrinsic part of the Jethro Tull sound Martin was.

The small venue, essentially a farmhouse, has excellent acoustics which resulted in a spectacular capture from MR & DR.

This close intimacy also resulted in some beautiful photographs from MR we've used in the covers.

Thanks to MR & DR for the fantastic capture, they are currently staying healthy and safe in scarred and wounded Italy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to country and the world in these uncertain times, hopefully this brings a little light to an otherwise dark time.
