Special CD/DVD tour edition of the acclaimed hit album from Jethro Tull frontman

In 2012 Ian Anderson released Thick As A Brick 2, the follow-up to Jethro Tull's legendary concept album. The album was a critical and commercial success, charting around the world. In April 2014 he returned with the Top 20 UK hit album ‘Homo Erraticus’.
The original Thick As A Brick album, released in 1972, was based around the poem of disgraced child prodigy Gerald Bostock. For Homo Erraticus Anderson is reunited with Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer a number of prophecies for the future.
Suitably dramatised and exaggerated by Bostock as metaphors for modern life, he presented Anderson with ideas for 14 songs, which have now been set to music. The result is Homo Erraticus. The CD / DVD tour edition of the album will be released on Anderson's own Calliandra Records label in conjunction with Kscope on September 22nd Following the release of this “Jethro Tull album” in all but name, Ian and his band embarked on an extensive UK tour, playing the album in its entirety followed by a selection of Tull classics. This show now moves on to Europe & North America.
