MATRIX
Taper Notes:
"This is the previously unreleased matrix version of this great show. This 4 channel matrix is a definite upgrade from the previously released stereo version as it has a much more full sound and even better quality!
This was a great show in a beautiful venue with excellent sound. The crowd was pumped for this show but not outrageously loud. There were times where you could hear a pin drop. Ian's voice just kept getting better and better and I was very surprised by how good it was. Not sure why I was expecting to be off a bit but he didn't struggle at all. The band were tight and obviously well seasoned and Ian's banter with the audience was comfortable and not forced at all.
It's interesting to see how much Jethro Tull varied their set list at this show from a couple of other recent recordings that are out. Not just the order but also, some of the songs have not showed up lately. All in all, this is a great capture (just a bit shy of being a SUPerb capture) of a great show. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It was also interesting to see that Ian took out his right IEM everytime before he played the flute and then slipped it back in to sing or play the guitar. I guess he wanted to be able to hear his flute live as he was playing or perhaps, as someone mentioned, it may have just been too shrill coming through the IEM."
