Unfortunately, Pat was unable to make Ian's Canterbury Christmas show Saturday night, which featured Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, but he was able to get ahold of the setlist for the show. Interesting to see son-in-law Andrew Lincoln take a break from zombie-fighting to do one of the readings! Also, it is my understanding that, despite the indication to the contrary, Anna Phoebe was not present. And here's a video from the show, posted by youtuber Aimeemumdad: Jeff

Looks like Bruce made a real effort. He needs to smarten up, rehearsal wouldn't go a miss too! Ian on the other hand was looking rather swish

I reckon you could be right Quizz although I was wondering if by asking Bruce Ian was maybe considering getting a vocalist for the future

I'd say Bruce failed in more then one way.

Yes Bruce did seem a little underdressed but that in no way detracted from his performance and they all seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, especially Ian who danced down the aisles on more than one occasion ;D Anna Phoebe was not there, she had started contractions earlier that day apparently. John O'Hara was also missing having just had an unexpected hospital visit. Ian also paid tribute to Jon Lord who had originally signed up for this but had been taken ill with pancreatic cancer, he wished him well. Interestingly, when one of the clerics introduced the opening of the show he said that Ian had specifically requested that he note that this was in no way a Jethro Tull show (but added that Ian runs a rather good tribute band). I found the whole gig spellbinding from start to finish. I sat about 10m from the stage, the venue was just awesome, the musicians all excellent - maybe not rehearsal-polished but personally I feel that the odd slips by the guest performers just added to the uniqueness of the night. Both my friend and I were speechless by the end of Locomotive Breath and Bruce's powerful vocals made my hackles rise more than once during the evening. 'My God' coming straight after the prayer was a masterstroke IMO ;D Having taken notice if the 'no photographs/mobile phones' instruction on the ticket I didn't get any pictures but there were plenty ignoring that thankfully - a few videos have been appearing on Youtube as you have seen. Someone did come round once telling off the people with cameras but they just carried on a few minutes later Given the various factors involved I had anticipated that this would be a special experience but it waayyy exceeded my expectations. More please

What are the odds that this was possibly a test gig for Brucie and Justin to be the 'guests' on the TaaB tour? Shared vocals? That would be a trip! I love Maiden and Bruce still has full command of his vocal prowess after all these years of touring. Singing down lower in Ian's range would be a piece of cake for him. ;D

Steph Thanks for posting the review, it's much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the show and wasn't disappointed. I wish the circumstances were better and that Mrs Q and I could have been there to share the experience of the gig and to meet up with a fellow member of the best Tull chat board around. If anyone wants any posters, programmes or tee shirts from the gig PM me, I have a special relationship.

Singing down lower in Ian's range would be a piece of cake for him. ;D I thought that Ian would opt more for vocalist guests rather than instrumentalists other than the odd violinist possibly. However, having said that I've never considered TaaB to be the sort of composition that would easily accommodate or have been written to allow scope for several vocalists in the same way that maybe other "concept" albums such as The Wall, Tommy or Quadrophenia or some other pieces would. But the again I may be wrong.

Thank you, a, for the reviews, photos and videos. It was an incredible experience, worth the effort and expense many times over. Having been out and about all day, I had my camera with me. However, I'd been told that there would be no photography allowed, so I didn't have my telephoto lens with me. Before the event began, they announced that the artists had requested no flash photography, and at that point out came my camera....along with many other cameras. Sorry about the quality of the latter photos, but I did try to respect the people behind me by not blocking their views. A quick photo snapped above my head or with camera held to my side in the aisle was all that I coud manage. And most of them ended u with a curious tilted image despite my best efforts.
