Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars An excellent live album !.......2004-03-06

Highly recommended. The guitar work & drumming are excellent and it covers most of Tull's major hits including a nice concise version of Thick as a Brick.

5 out of 5 stars Good News.......2004-01-04

It's a shame that 3 songs were cut to get this album on one CD. Some of Ian Anderson's banter is also missing, such as his reference to "young American boys" in the audience.

But this is still the best live rock album since "Live at Leeds" (maybe better). It has an excellent acoustic set near the start of the concert. Near the middle is a 12 minute version of "Thick As A Brick"; the best version of this song that I've heard. "Hunting Girl" has some excellent guitar work by Martin Barre and bass by John Glasscock. "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath" make a fitting wrap up. Notice how Barriemore Barlow's percussion sounds like steam on the latter song. All of the other songs range from solid to excellent.

The good news is that Amazon's UK site will offer a remastered version in February 2004. And it has 2 CDs!

5 out of 5 stars the gift.......2003-09-28

This live is superb with a good choice of songs ( from the songs from the wood, heavy horses, aqualung ... years ) It will avalaible in november with the remastered version ( very good ) with at the same periode "stormwatch" and "A".

5 out of 5 stars Wow! What took me so long?!.......2003-07-10

The unavailablity, of course. As a Tull diehard I have been looking for this album for a long time. Thanks to the joys of shopping on Amazon all these goldies for us not-so-oldies are now so readily available.
This has got to be their BEST live album. Great sound...so different from the studio albums. It is like listening to new songs but you know them so well!
Excellent flute work....this album has one of my favorite renditions of Bouree. You've gotta hear it!

5 out of 5 stars Hard-Rocking Live Album.......2003-07-02

I am not a big fan of live albums. Often the songs are poorly recorded live versions of what is already available on studio albums. Even when the music is recorded well, why have a live version when the studio version is better? However, there are a few live albums that present recordings better than those from a studio, or show a different side to a performer or group than the studio albums. This recording falls into the second category.

Jethro Tull has presented many stylistic faces during their lengthy career. There has been blues/English folk music, jazz-flavored music, and the rock that has gotten Tull classified as a hard rock group. The wonderful feature of this recording is that Martin Barre's lead guitar put a harder edge on many of these songs, making them sound harder than the original studio recordings. Often there are extra riffs that flavor more staid recordings; other times there are extended instrumental portions where the lead guitar screams hard rock. As an example, while "Locomotive Breath" was never a pop song, the enhanced guitar work and extended intro change the character of this song significantly from the studio version. This version is better.

A classic already considered hard rock, "Aqualung," clocks in at over eight minutes, adding substantial length to the original. Much of that additional length is in an extended bridge and a lengthened ending that features pounding piano, drums and guitar. It is songs such as these that threw Jethro Tull into the hard rock/metal category, though Jethro Tull has a range far beyond this category.

This 1978 release is a very good cross-section of Tull's first ten years, better than the numerous compilations that are purported to be "best of" or "greatest" hits. It is unfortunate that the available version cuts three songs from the original vinyl release to fit a single CD. It is unlikely the original version will be released in a 2-CD format, but we can always hope.
