Comentários: Esse ano Ian Anderson resolveu lançar Thick As A Brick 2! Álbum controverso, que dividiu os fãs entre calorosos defensores e irredutíveis críticos, e que eu pessoalmente gostei muito, apesar de admitir que certos importantes detalhes, como o baterista por exemplo, poderiam ter sido melhores. Anyway, o show apresentado nessa turnê (Ian Solo! Importante lembrar), conta com TAAB 1 e 2 tocadas na íntegra, com direito a revisitar as piadas e brincadeira durante o show em homenagem as apresentações originais dos anos 70. Gostei bastante, achei um show bem executado e tocado, e fico feliz do Ian ter tido a iniciativa de colocar outro vocalista no grupo, não só pra que ele ficasse mais livre na flauta, mas porque certas partes vocais estão fora de seu alcance há muito tempo. Recomendo!

This year Ian Anderson released Thick As A Brick 2! Controversial record which divided the fans between hot defenders and irreducible critics, and that I personally liked a lot, although I have to admit that certain important details, like the drummer per instance, that could have been better. Anyway, the show presented in this tour (Ian Solo, important to remember!) has TAAB 1 and 2 played whole, with jokes and weather forecasts during the show to pay homenage to the presentations of the 70's. I really enjoyed it, it's a well executed show, and I'm happy that Ian put another singer in the group, not only to be able to play more flute parts, but also because there are certain vocal parts that he just can't sing for a long time now. Recomended!
