Will there be an album associated with this tour?

Well, I was given tickets for a Rock Opera show for my birthday, and I must say that I am looking forward to seeing Ian play the flute again - that's the real reason I go to see him, that and his acoustic guitar playing. The concept of this "Rock Opera" with rewritten lyrics and virtual guests is something I am unsure of... Perhaps it is time for Ian to go all instrumental. I love the vast majority of his body of work and that is, after all, why I am a fan... He is an undeniable genius but he should really play to his strengths these days. I wish there was an adviser somewhere that he would listen to!!!
Conversely, I watched a pro-shot video of Martin's band on Youtube... Ugh. It reduced classic Tull material to bar band music. All the subtle touches and quirky things that make Tull songs unique was lost. Perhaps some people like this back to basics sound, but to me, it bleeds out all the individuality and spirit of the original songs. Sorry, Martin. I would go to see Martin play an acoustic tour, though.

Hi David,
Hope you're keeping well.
I had my doubts about 'the opera', and I have to say I had problems in trying to enjoy it to the full, some great pieces, Cheap Day Return and Requiem, but the overall concept for me just didn't work.
I'll add more tomorrow

Hi David, Hope you're keeping well. I had my doubts about 'the opera', and I have to say I had problems in trying to enjoy it to the full, some great pieces, Cheap Day Return and Requiem, but the overall concept for me just didn't work. I'll add more tomorrow Thanks for the perspective, Pat. The acoustic intro to "Cheap Day Return" has always been sublime, and that gets back to what I was saying about how IA should play to his strengths these days. Instrumentally, he is still phenomenal. Can someone please convince him to do an acoustic, instrumental tour?
