Hi. I've not posted for a long time, but felt I have to tell you all how great tonights gig was. So here goes. It was superb. If you don't have a ticket, get one quickly. The first was excellent. Plenty of surprises through out. I won't spoil it for you, but Ian gets plenty of help with the vocals from Ryan which works really well. The songs from taab 2 stand up alongside the oridginal album very well and Ian sings great. Thought the whole show the band rock, with Scott the drummer a real highlight for me. Really want to go again. A must see show.

I was at Blackburn too - agree with everything Mikeytull says. Totally excellent, though just a little worried that Ian is still struggling with vocals (on TAAB1 only) and later on the tour might be tough. Ryan O'Donnell really helps - was a great idea. Afterwards I got to meet Ryan and John O'Hara for a quick word, autograph and photo. Pics to follow if I can get time to upload them. Won't say much more so I don't spoil it for those intending to go, except - if you haven't booked yet, why are you waiting? It wasn't house full tonight and it should have been.

Great to hear everyone is enjoying the show.
Sadly Brick has given Ian trouble for quite some time. There was point when I hoped he would just shelf it forever.
Maybe he can give more of the vocals to Ryan?

Maybe he can give more of the vocals to Ryan? Great idea Paul. I can enjoy a new vocalist on this tour as much as I enjoy watching Ian play his instruments. That is why this tour is so special. Fresh vocals for a new album and a new vocalist with style.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on Blackburn guys. I am still buzzing after Sheffield and am even missing my footie team Stockport County last homegame to get to Harrogate tonight Not really a sacrifice It s a pity the show was not full....I contemplated going but there did not appear to be any good seats left... At Sheffield the audience were bemused by the ending and clearly expected an encore. I can see where Ian is coming from on this .....but some how it did not feel right. I think this tour can only get better ..I would not be suprised if Ryan takes over an increasing amount of the vocal duties as the tour progresses. It may be the only way Ian / Tull will be able to continue as a touring band. Were you able to identify / remember Ians , JE , JHH position on the old school photograph. If you can please see my Sheffield thread as I was unable to locate them on the photo

Maybe a little bit " musical theatre" but overall a great addition.

nags, not scare the real fans off, but you would think ian would make a point of getting the venue poster ...for all to see ...right !!! no prob if florian and whatever the new drummers name is ?? cant quite remember it !! although he was good !! very misleading for some folk, personnally i already knew martin wasent gonna be there so dident matter to me..its the principal and not very..proffesional.

would you advertise ...led zep ...robert plant...jimmy page on a poster ? then when your at the venue having seen the poster with plant & page you buy a ticket expecting to see page and some other guitarist turns up on stage !! you would not be happy having paid to see whats advertised on the poster outside !! would you .

That poster was obviously printed by someone that got the old press photo from somewhere. Once they were printed, no one wanted to re-order the poster with a current line-up. Now for those who are into collecting rare and unusual things, this would be an excellent find. I assume the correct poster will be present at future gigs when the old one runs it's course. If anyone could find me a loose print, I would be forever greatful.
