On August 26, 2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson on 2CD, DVD, SD Blu-ray and digital formats. This is the first time Thick As A Brick and Thick As A Brick 2: Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock? have been offered in a combined set, resulting in a superb presentation of the complete story of Gerald Bostock. Jethro Tull's famed concept album Thick As A Brick was originally released in 1972 and featured one continuous track spread across two sides of an LP telling the story of a young boy named Gerald Bostock. 40 years later in 2012, Jethro Tull's founder and leader Ian Anderson continued the story, with the creation of Thick As A Brick 2: Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock?. Following this release, Anderson took both albums on the road to present the complete narrative live. This show, filmed in Iceland, brings Gerald's tale to life as never before and creates the definitive presentation of Thick As A Brick. Ian Anderson recently released the very successful solo album Homo Erraticus, and is currently on tour across Europe from June to September (full details at http://www.jethrotull.com). Underlining not only Ian Anderson's importance as a songsmith, Thick As A Brick – Live In Iceland also showcases this consummate live performer. TRACKLISTING 1) Thick As A Brick 2) From A Pebble Thrown 3) Pebbles Instrumental 4) Might Have Beens 5) Upper Sixth Loan Shark 6) Banker Bets, Banker Wins 7) Swing It Far 8) Adrift And Dumbfounded 9) Old School Song 10) Wootton Bassett Town 11) Power And Spirit 12) Give Til It Hurts 13) Cosy Corner 14) Shunt And Shuffle 15) A Change Of Horses 16) Confessional 17) Kismet In Surburbia 18) What-ifs, Maybes And Might-Have-Beens

I've been waiting SO long for this! Now Vaughan will be experience it too. I really do hope that HE ends up on DVD too. What a year we're having so far?! :-)

I read somewhere that this is the first time TaaB was performed in it's entirety, as the "do you believe in the day?" part was omitted from the original 1972 tour. Is this true?

Is it possible "do you believe in the day" was played once or twice in 1972 and it just didn't work? I used to wonder, but I think it's very unlikely. Nobody has ever said they heard "do you believe in the day" live.. and it's not on any unofficial recordings. Which is odd because it's such a great section and not impossible to do live.

Perhaps it's because there is a great deal of that section with flute and voice happening at the same time?

It just wouldn't be exactly like the record which is no different than many other songs Tull have performed which have flute (or other instruments) over the verses. I know Ian will say that is why they didn't do it.. but it never made too much sense to me.
