I was at this show which was dubbed the "Rubbing Elbows" tour. I was sitting very close to the guy who shot this video. They had a sofa off to the right side of the stage and some lucky guy got to sit on stage with them and watch them play. It would be like having Ian Anderson in your living room! It was awesome.
As a Tull fan for the past 30 years, I have to say that this is Gahdawful. Is it possible that, perhaps, the vocal melodies are written on the flute, which is why they sound so contrived and pathetically forced? And you wise men don't know how it feels, indeed!
I agree that musically as a player myself it falls flat and on boredom. It sounds like a warm up exercise or something you would fart around with, I mean it's an unfinished work at best one can hope.
Just got home from seeing this show at the Keswick near Philly. What an amazing show, but this song was simply mind blowing. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up hearing the viola and Mr. Anderson's flute play so fluidly together. Thanks for the upload. Loved it.
a new official cd in spring 2012 with this song among others of course !

Perhaps you need another God besides Ian. Perhaps one that isn't so hypocritical and/or a liar.

@malrubius :(! Indeed! :) over 40 years for me. Ian is milking the bank (US) for all it's worth.

Is it a new Jethro Tull song or Ian's solo carreer? As well as 'Change Of Horses', it's pretty boring.

@MrsKevinsmith Since Ian wrote the music, I think he has the right to play it whenever and whereever he pleases. Don't be so friggin shallow.

The viola player is Meena Bhasin. Check out her solo -- Driving Sky -- really powerful music!
