skidder652003 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) So I'm on me holibobs this week and a very pleasant week in Italy it is too except we leave Florence Monday morning only to see that Jethro Tull are playing outside around the corner Monday night followed by Chick Corea on Tuesday night with some John Pattagoochie or something similar on bass! What a bummer!! Edited July 21, 2018 by skidder652003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I wouldn`t worry about missing Tull too much. Ian`s voice has been shot for years and Martin Barre ain`t playing guitar so it`s not Tull for me. It would be like Yes touring without Jon Anderson! Oh, hang on a minute 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 As above, you're probably not missing much. I skipped a few years but touring Roots to Branches they were brilliant (Jonathan Noyce on Bass). Caught them at a couple of festivals since, the first time before they brought in the new singer, when they were just a half-ar5ed parody of themselves, then just after the new singer came... that was as bad. It made me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyP Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 A few years ago we were on holiday in Locarno, Switzerland and a stage was erected in the town square. As dusk fell the music started and I found myself at a free open air concert by Al Jarraeu! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 We were in the south of France a few years ago, and walking along The Croisette in Cannes there was a large marquee on a private section of the beach, with a band soundchecking - soon realised it turned out to be John Legend doing a corporate gig.

yorks5stringer Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I was at US Disney in Florida at the big water park and there was a big stage. The day before I visited the Neville Brothers had played...😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bummer!! JT and in Florence? I feel your pain. Abscond and claim that you were on the run from Zebedee when the dust settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bummer!! Where are you going next ? Home ? Then the Rai 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ... will certainly broadcat the concerts. Check it out. I've seen Chick Corea twice, the first concert was really great, we left the second one after the second track as it was so boring : not sure you are missing something extraordinary.

fiatcoupe432 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Summer is great in Italy as there is live music out on the square every night ! If you into jazz next time visit Perugia or anywhere in Umbria ! Also another great place to be for live music is the buskers festival in Ferrara ! Unbelievable talents out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I'm in Venice tomorrow for 2 nights I'm gonna see if there's anything on, The Tull says its with Ian Anderson, is his voice really shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) For around 20 years I was a big Tull fan but like another of my favourite bands - Rush, time has not been kind to the singers voice. One person described Ian`s voice as sounding "like a drunk uncle at auntie Flo`s 80th birthday!" And Ian said in an interview a few years ago, without Martin Barre, it`s not Tull. Oh how right he is!

Unbelievable talents out there We played at the Onda Rd in Passingnano Sul Trasimeno last summer as part of the summer music festival. Going back next year where we'll be playing in both Tuoro and Assisi. Beautiful part of the world and some smashing backdrops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
