Title: At the risk of making Sal jealous
Post by: Uisce Beatha on April 09, 2007, 08:54:13 AM
Jethro Tull comes to SLC in October.  Tickets go on sale Saturday.  It's in Abravanel Hall - the home of the Utah Symphony - and easily has the best acoustics in town. 

I've only seen them once and it was in a reasonably intimate setting.  Maybe only 3000 people.  Amazing stuff.

At the risk of making absolutely no one jealous: I'm going to see Ice Cube at The Depot on Friday.

On topic: I agree that Abravanel Hall is easily the best venue, at least acoustics wise, in SLC. I've seen many, many great shows there. Not a bad seat in the house either. I was saddened and disgusted to hear that Morrissey is playing the E-Center rather than Abravanel, though apparently ticket sales are not going well so odds are decent the show will be moved somewhere smaller.

My wife surprised me with Morrissey tickets on Saturday...I hope it gets moved as well.

My bet is that if it's moved it will go to The Depot or maybe Saltair. Neither are great venues but still better than E-Center. (We, and about 300 other people, saw him a few years back at The Zephyr before it closed its doors. Definitely in my top 5 shows of all time.)

I've only been to the E-Center and Saltair, and Saltair would be much better in my opinion.

According to the JT site it's Anderson and Barre at least. 

Rumor has it Cannibal Corpse is opening.

I only had a chance to see them once. ~1986. It was the 'A' concert. Had been a fan for many years before, and several years after.
I still like their music, but I remember when Ian Anderson said that JT would never make a 'Greatest Hits' album. It seems that was not exactly prophetic.

Oh snap, you know how we do it.  "Lethal Injection" was a classic album.  I'd see him for the nostalgia.
