Dave: Sorry you found the show disappointing. To be honest, I would not see any artist in concert 18 months or so after last seeing them. I figure the set list was probably the same. Ian is pushing 70 and probably is getting tired of performing. That's just speculation. There's quite a few reports that Neil Diamond is looking tired and at times in pain in his concerts this year. However, he is 7 years older than Ian. I saw Ian in Chicago in 2009, was a great show, and I think that will be it for me. I've been collecting the 40th anniversary releases that Ian is putting out of the Tull albums, so far I have Minstrel, Too Old, and Songs from the Wood. They are fantastic, well done multi-disc packages. Looking forward to Heavy Horses and Storm Watch.
