Yes, the multi-platinum Aqualung album. Only Ian and guitarist Martin Barre remain from the original line up who recorded Aqualung back in January 71. Most of the current band were babes in arms at the time or in the case of bassist Jon Noyce only a mere twinkle in his parents eyes. Both Ian and Martin were initially against the idea but when persuaded they agreed to recreate one of their most important recordings in a live format on the grounds that the live recording gave both the band and its ever loyal audience a chance to re-experience it.

Jethro Tull, or more precisely the remaining members, Anderson and Barre, augmented by some very fine young musicians, authentically reproduce their former glory - live! Complete and with additional dialogue at the end of the CD in order to avoid interrupting the flow. You are undoubtedly reading this because like many of us old 'wrinklies' you owned and loved the original and are intrigued about how well it has survived the last 30-odd years. Even if you have the excellently re-mastered original version on CD, you will want to own this live event as well because it really does not disappoint at all. The execution by the band is flawless. Whether or not you agree with the content of Anderson's transparently cynical and hectoring message about organised religion, the quality of the music has a timeless feel and stands up against anything from the current cadre of angry young men on MTV2. Of course, you try telling younger people that nowadays and they won't believe you! Listening to Ian Anderson in full flood on either flute or acoustic guitar I am reminded again that he is a musical virtuoso. The solo acoustic guitar introduction to 'My God' is a wonderful piece of composition for guitar in its own right. This particular version of Aqualung, is required listening for any serious appreciation of how to compose, arrange and deliver first class adult orientated rock music, with a message.
