Haven't seen them since probably the late 70s, but I heard some good things recently about Ian Anderson "solo" (I think there was a band, so not solo as such). The comments were good enough for me to go hmmmm....
Just wish I could remember where I read what so that I could throw you a link.
Anyone seen them lately? They are coming to Red Rocks next summer, I used to really like them. They backed out playing here what was it last year or the year before ... can't remember but wondering if anyone has any reviews... thanks ...

Announcing the release of RECOIL: John Cipollina
In his style and sound, John Cipollina represented the archetypal 1960s musician. His unique guitar tone, one-of-a-kind sound delivery system, classic longhaired rock ‘n roll look, and charmingly humble personality made this former Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar player an inimitable figure in the musical landscape of the 2nd half of the twentieth century.
Recoil: John Cipollina is a 3 DVD box set that provides an almost six hour journey through the rock ‘n roll life and music of John Cipollina. Along with the 1991-produced one-hour re-mastered “Electric Guitarslinger”, this captivating rockumentary features interviews with Jerry Garcia, Bill Graham, Barry Melton, David Freiberg, Nick Gravenites, Gary Duncan, Nicky Hopkins, Greg Douglass, Merl Saunders, Dan Healy, Terry Dolan, Martin Fierro, Rocky Sullivan, Joel Selvin, Charlie Deal, Michael and Mario Cipollina and more. Also included are interviews with John Cipollina from 1984 and 1989.
The Concert DVD includes 17 previously unreleased songs performed by Quicksilver Messenger Service, Copperhead, Link Wray, Thunder & Lightning, Terry & The Pirates and Dinosaurs.
Director/Editor Jesse Block
Producers Antonia Cipollina, Steve Keyser, Mike Somavilla,
& William Dire Wolff
