I just read this article. I have always been so amazed by how some bands sound so awesome in places where you least expect it. I know it all comes down to science and innovation. I love this kind of stuff. It's what it's all about to me, and Ian Anderson has always been one of the best at finding the people to get it done.
Thanks Jim, I did really rock as a young in the old days last night in San Javier I've never been before at this venue and now I can say that the place and the organisation are excellent. The second row We got it was then a big surprise for wife and me; I said the women, who gave the tickets which we previously booked by online means, as a joke that !we'd like first rowssss!, and she charmingly told me YES, that some season-ticket holders were going to miss, GREAT I told her, and finally so it was how we got two second-row seats, a complete unexpected fact. All was going OK.
The hot evening concert at the open air venue of San Javier will be unforgettable for all who attended the show. Before gettin' in the venue I came upon some Tullianos I met in Gavá, incredible fact!!, they drove 800 kms to see Ian, othe hard core Tull fans to go by, Great. They also owned some press cards that Albert gave them in Gavá, and they friendly gave us two but this stuff will come later.
The band ,without Ian, first came out to the stage dressed in brown light boiler suits doing houseworks duties what it was very funny for the whole audience, and after this scene Ian suddenly came along at the right side of the stage turning the audience into a mad state of excitement. Then and amazingly the only light on stage just spotted sparkling over Ian's figure. The next thing happened is quite tough for me telling of here in just two words . So hence let's begin and enjoy my pics and vids with this short tube I finally got to upload on youtube. (They are too long failing my first three throws of them as yet)
sit down , relax and make yourselves comfortable
The next one, a much more longer, hope it will be ready in the afternoon. Don't go away from your seats.

For those that missed it, this is a throwback to the original show. When I saw the Thick as Brick show in 1972, Ian and the whole band came out on stage dressed in trench coats and hats with brooms sweeping the stage. Then they took their coats and hats off and hung them on a conveniently placed coat rack and began to play. This is good stuff. Can't wait to hear and see more.
Thanks Jim magnificent presentation of Festival de la Porta Ferrada - Sant Feliu de Guíxols! I'm just going to add a photograph of advertising on the streets of San Feliu de Guixols (courtesy of the organization to request mine)
