Setlist
1. "Regis & Kathie Lee" 11-15-95 (10:03)Hosts:Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee GiffordAn appearance on the morning talk show to promote the newalbum "Roots and Branches". Ian Anderson sits down for aconverstaion with clueless hosts. A quick series of classichits - "Bouree", "Living in the Past" and "Thick as a Brick"are performed with Martin Barre (Guitar, Bass) and Andrew Giddings (Keyboards). Together, the trio ends the visitwith a perfomance of "Rare and Precious Chain". 2. "Mike and Maty" 11-29-95 (13:54)Hosts:Michael Burger, Maty MonfortAnother stop on the morning talk show circuit to promote"Roots and Branches". This one is a wee bit better than thevisit to "Regis and Kathie Lee" two weeks earlier. Ianseems to know what questions will be repeated, and gives almost identical answers. Mike and Maty seem a bit moresincere, and interested in what Ian has to say. The same trio performs. Again, the walkthrough..."Living in the Past"and "Thick as a Brick". Again, the obligatory promo forthe new album, they close out with "Rare and Precious Chain"3. "The Tonight Show" 4-28-93 (7:00)Host: Jay LenoAfter a nice version "Living in the Past" performed by the entire band, Jay Leno conducts a fine interview with Ian Anderson. Good questions and some humor make this one a lot of fun.
