Again, superb review! This has always been my favorite live album. I bought it when it first came out on vinyl, when I was 15! I've always considered it an amazing introduction, to anyone not familiar with Tull. These songs just represent such a great collection of their catalog, up to that point. I have only listened to the BO 5.1 once, on this, but I really need to dig in and devote more time to it.

I played the shit out of BO when I was younger. Haven't heard a better live album, original mix notwithstanding. Looking forward to hearing this new version.

Great, enjoyed that. Totally unfamiliar w/ “Bursting Out”. Now I’m going to go back and listen.

A friend to Jethro Tull is a friend of mine. Subscribed and looking forward to checking some, or all, of your other video. Greetings from Belgium. Cheerio.

Love this Live Album. Was listening to it the other day.

Great video! I have my surround sound up front. And your right it feels your sitting at the stage watching Tull . Steven Wilson mixed it great!! In 5.1 it does float around you

Very good review - thanks

Nice review I’ll pick this up according to your review and BTW I have the same Stand Up tapestry hanging in my man cave media room 😎✌️😎

Great review I'm a huge Tull fan.First time I saw them was in '73

The Tull boxes are a triumph in every regard. And don't forget the price point of these boxes compared to say Pink Floyd with the marbles and scarfes. Very reasonable.

Thank you for this really helpful review ... just got my copy today and going through the mechanics of ripping to .flac ... I'm pretty anal doing that - making sure I get both Parts 1 and 2 aggregated as a single "album" with tracks numbered sequentially ... and also doing a "rip as one" (using DBpoweramp) to get Part 1 and Part 2 each as 2 x single, seanless, complete tracks ... and aggregating the soundcheck tracks as a single "soundchecks" album in its own right with tracks renumbered appropriately. A "definitive" track listing of the MSG DVD 3 would be helpful ... I believe Locomitive Breath was played mid set (for broadcast) as well as in its usual place... still to watch it. These sets are fabulous and, like you, I would like to see Under Wraps given the full treatment ... including a remix with "proper" drums as well as flat transfer. Ian has suggested that it would not be cost effective ... but if he opened a crowd funding to pre-pay for getting it done then I'd be in .... thanks again for video ... enjoyed it ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland .. p s. the Tull gig in Aberdeen a couple of months back was excellent... great set, high energy, great playing and sound .... maybe a live document of the tour will appear sometime - if so, it would be worth getting.

Thanks for the detailed review. Matches my experience, with the added expertise of a sound expert which I am not. There are just two things I was slightly disappointed with about this release. First, I wish it were on Bluray rather than DVDs so we would get the entire album on one disc, as opposed to having to change discs in the middle. Second, because there are no notes by Wilson or an actual "Tales of the Tapes" type text, it's a little unclear why we don't have details of which German gigs the no-Bern tracks come from. Were all the reels unlabelled to the extent that not one of these tracks can be ascertained to be from this or that performance ? Are there no bootleg recordings to compare them with ? I hope maybe diehard fans will help determine at least some of the sources, because I was really expecting to know every last detail about where and when this album was recorded.

It’s a little different than my first copy which I bought on cassette when released!

Not bothered at all about this, the tour show is in the Heavy Horses box. Tull don't change the performance at all so the tracks will sound exactly the same. The video would be nice but let's be honest, you'll play it once in every five years or even longer. So, it's the first one I've not got and won't bother getting. I've even got the original Aqualung box with the vinyl. Won't get Under Wraps either, might get Crest of a Knave, not sure yet. Most Tull albums after Broardsword aren't worth bothering with. The best Tull finished after Stormwatch. If it was around £30 mark I might have got it, for the memory/nostalgia but no way at the current price. I have the music, have the tour, so just not worth the money.

it would had benn coolo if the live incomplete verison could of (To cry You a song ) had benn included but im not surprised it wasent needless to say why!
