It is with great pleasure I can write a glowing review of a new release from the Tull after the half hearted Christmas Album and Live with an Orchestra. I have bad memories of this particular tour nevertheless the album starts spritely enough, although With You There To Help Me will never match the orignal from Benefit. We are taken for an amble nicely enough though Pavane, Empty Cafe, Eurology and why on earth include God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen?
Things start to get really tasty on disc 2. Beside Myself is worth the price alone a masterpiece stunningly played. Some minutes later the brooding drone of the intro to Budapest promises classic live Tull. Indeed brilliant it is and then at about 8 minutes 30 seconds Ian and boys kick the carpet slippers off and right out of the window. This is Tull absolutely flying, reminding us why they the are the best rock band in the world by a hard track mile, bar none. I was listening to this driving to Glasgow left hand cleched fist punching towards the sky (fortunately the sun roof was open)the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end!
New Jig works an absolute treat and on to the standard show closers of Aqualung and Locomotive Breath. Both of these songs are delivered with fresh energy, loads of power and subtle as a Hummer, cracking stuff.
Bursting Out was the benchmark for Tull live albums this matches it and there are moments when it is way out in front. This is nearly as good as the legendary bootleg A Sackful of Trousersnakes and that really is saying something.
Great news for Tull fans makes you think Ian must have at least one more blistering rock album in him.

For die-hard Tull fans this is an excellent addition to your collection. The track selection is at times a bit eclectic (it includes an IA solo track as well as a Martin Barre solo track), although we see some 'classics' as well that are almost always played live - Aqualung and Locomotive Breath. Yes, Ian's voice is a bit weaker than it used to be, and he occasionally struggles on harder songs. BUT - the band appear to be on fire on this recording - Doane is awesome on the drums and Martin was having a blinder - storming performance by this under-rated guitar player. Overall, a very pleasing live album - for me, one of the best things about it is the sound quality - it has to be the best sounding tull live album on this dimension - it is a phenomenally clear recording - a good test CD for any decent hi-fi. So, no it is not as good as the seminal "Bursting Out" but it is very enjoyable and all of the band members are on great form in my view.

Well I have always rated Bursting Out as the definitive live Tull but this runs it close. The classics are given some nice re-working without losing anything and the Christmas stuff, newer tracks like dot com and the IA solo work are all great in my view. I think the band are enjoying themselves here and if you like Tull this is worth it.

They may not be the newest kids on the block but Jethro Tull show they still have the energy and passion that made them special in the first place. Read more
