Aqualung - 40th Anniversary: Tour and Steven Wilson Remix
Two items today related to Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" celebrating its 40th anniversary. First, Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree has just announced that he has done a remix of Aqualung for a September release:
Since Ian Anderson has been talking about this, I guess it's now official. I recently completed a brand new mix of Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" for a 40th anniversary edition. As always the remix is super faithful to the original, but with much improved sonic clarity (something that just can't be achieved with remastering). Also remixed for inclusion were many other studio tracks from the 1970-71 period (several previously unreleased), and a 5.1 mix. It should be out on EMI in September. -from his Facebook page
Second, Tull will be taking the album on tour. I will be at the first show on the tour with some friends.
Jethro Tull 'Aqualung' is 40 years old and Ian Anderson is taking the album on the road.
Jethro Tull has announced a 16-show tour of North America on their world trek for "the snotted one's" 40th anniversary.
"The Snotted One" is, of course, Aqualung, Tull's 1971 album that moved them from cult group to FM radio stalwarts.
The LP contained a number of songs that went on to become classic rock standards, including the title song, Hymn 43 and Locomotive Breath, and was the group's first top ten album in the U.S., reaching number 7.

Roger Waters & David Gilmour on stage together for Comfortably Numb (5/12/2011)
This is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s6P2pkXpG0!
This is Comfortably Numb from Roger Water's recent (5/12/2011) performance of The Wall. On this night only, David Gilmour appears unannounced and performs Comfortably Numb with Waters. The moment the crowd recognizes Gilmour gave me goosebumps. According to Roger, this is 29 years and 329 days since they last performed The Wall in London together. And Nick Mason even appeared on stage at the end show.
