This is more or less the set that would establish Tull in America later that same year, laying the ground for Aqualung's release the next and prog rock dominion thereafter. So, none of your fiddly time signatures or folksy foot-tappers here: this is a right old thrash, and it may be a surprise to some that they ever made quite this amount of noise. It's tight enough, but the band plays with real abandon, the powerhouse bashing of double kick-drummer Clive Bunker driving them on at a furious pace. Anderson's acoustic instruments hold up well, but John Evan's grand piano sounds more like an upright coming from a pub several doors away. And My God, there's an awful lot of noodling, with solos from everyone, Glenn Cornick included. Those were the days: plenty of time for pee breaks.
Of course, the festival was a complete shambles throughout, so it's a pity that a lot of Ian Anderson's hilarious onstage patter ("Tear down a fence and win a plastic ball") has been edited from this release. It would have been far better served as a document of the event keeping his quips and sparing us much of the jamming, as Martin Barre must surely concur.
An absolute must for fans and historians alike nonetheless. Thing is though, how much of Murray Lerner's film of the Tull set is there still in existence? Can we have that out on DVD next, please?
Check the DVD!
