Since he and Ian Anderson parted ways, Martin Barre has released not only a slew of studio works but also no less than four concert albums, his latest being "Live At The Wildey" from 2021, and there’s a new one on the way, titled “The Acoustic Trio & The Electric Quartet: Live In The USA & Europe” and scheduled for May 1st. Preserving for posterity the guitarist’s recent tour outings, in 2024 and 2025, it presents an interesting mix of his former band’s classics alongside pieces from Martin’s solo platters, and choice covers.
What’s also interesting is a ratio between TULL pieces and those done by Barre on his own – the latter category prevails, which makes this two-CD set so alluring – and the inclusion of THE BEATLES and BLIND FAITH tracks only adds to the record’s pull.
