Format:DVD
We've been waiting 20 odd years for this! Why Ian has to ruin the viewing of previous DVD releases by putting interview segments between the songs only he knows ..... Hopefully the success of this DVD will show him the error of his ways!
The first half of the concert is mostly acoustic songs and instrumentals - in the midst of which the hard rocking 'Hunting Girl' sits a little incongruously, but is nonetheless (for me) the highlight of the concert. Although not listed, the set ends with the usual brief segment of Protect & Survive (with balloons) and Cheerio.
My only gripe is that, according to ministry of information, the concert included the Songs from the Wood/Too old to Rock & Roll/Heavy Horses medley that was a mainstay of the setlist at the time. Maybe it wasn't played? But in any case, it would have rounded the concert off much better. You just feel something is missing without those 3 classics ....
Now, if Ian's reading this - get out a torch, brush away the cobwebs, delve into the deepest, darkest corner of your cellar, and find us the tapes of a gig from the mid or late 70s to release as a 40th anniversary pressie. Go on, you know you want to!

At last an up to date LIVE Tull DVD, with no distractions just the whole concert with no annoying extras bolted on in superb 5.1 sound. This is the one to buy if you want a no nonsense record of recent jethro tull live with a good variety of tracks, ones that stand out are 'With you there to help me' which is one of the best tracks on the DVD also 'Budapest' and 'Beside myself' being some of the newer featured tracks as well as a selection of IA solo tracks and a few from the Christmas album, Martin also gets a chance to perform one of his solo tracks (Empty Cafe) overall an essential DVD purchase. Look out for the blooper in the encore track ' Locomotive Breath' which also gives Martin a smile.

Format:Blu-ray
I'm so glad that eagle vision have decided to release the 'Live in Montreux' series in HD (I also own the Tori Amos DVD from the series). The picture quality is excellent, as is the sound. A large percentage of my CD/DVD collection consists of 70's rock bands; from Black Sabbath through to Yes. The problem is that only a handful of these bands are still going and lets face it some should have hung there instruments up over a decade ago....
Not so with Ian Anderson and co. Like many other bands of the era they've gone through many personnel changes over the years (Only Anderson and Barre are here from the early line up) but once you sit down and press play it doesn't seem to matter. Regarding song choice, admittedly I always crave more of the earlier classic stuff but I guess you have to have a good mix to cover a somewhat lengthy career - Living in the Past, Aqualung and Locomotive Breath are all present and correct to satisfy the nostalgic amongst us. What strikes me most about watching this gig is how tight the band are. The arrangements are fantastic and the musicianship is second to none. Mr Anderson jigs around (almost) as nimbly as he ever did and the DVD seems to have captured the feeling of energy perfectly. If you have a Blu Ray player and can stretch the budget a bit, it's well worth the extra cash.

True hi-def piece
Great audio and video quality, pushing the boundaries of the blu-ray format. I recommend this disc to any hi-fi enthusiast! You don't even need to be a Jethro Tull fan :)
