Let's hear it for Jonathan Noyce, one of the bands most underrated bass players, pictured here on the Dot Com tour Not so sure about the "pyjamas" he seems to be wearing.

One of those wonderful IA compositions, with some marvellous understated MB guitar playing, which is a song often overlooked when talking about the Dot.com album

Thwe tour was 1999.. i think, sorta buried in between greatest hitsy tours....When i saw them they only played 3 dot.com songs ( Spiral, Hunt By Numbers and Dot.Com) and a song or two from SLOB ( water carrier and maybe Boris dancing). I was disappointed that better songs like Bend like a Willow and Gift of Roses didn't rate live showings....not to mention SLOB II which has lively live potential.

Looks like the English dates had the same trickle of new songs as the USA...but no AWOL by the time they got to the west Coast.

I have zero doubt that the reason those songs were ceased is IA could sense the response was less than enthusiastic. I believe their audience, not the band, or IA, have forced his hand as regards setlists. Though this past 20 years have seen the most varied in their history, no contest, I really wonder what people are talking about. But yes those 8 to 10 songs will ALWAYS be present as they are with any performer of long standing not named the Grateful Dead or their relatives, where a night to night different set list sort of is their big hit. And all that for an album I find very much the superior, on the whole, of all the following legendary Tull outings. Benefit, LITP, A Passion Play, War Child and Heavy Horses in a tie. People who complain about the set list and come clean that what they mean to say is play Passion Play, most of Minstrel and Back Door Angels. I even like Hot Mango Flush, its a curio, a little oddity in the sense of the Hare, and every bit as good, but does not sound like anything else in the catalog, can't have that. I would like to see them do Thinking Round Corners, seems to be in part an homage to Beefheart.

I do remember how great 1000 Mothers sounded and really featured Doane..of course i was blissed out by Passion jig...I mean...any millseconds of Passion Play were enough to make my night...as if any Tull gig wasn't great....but i do remember thinking that 6 songs from 'Stand Up' at the expense of absolutely NOTHING from Brick thru Broadsword except for aforementioned jig and hunting Girl...was kind of a shame. 9 songs from Stand Up and Aqualung and huge, huge, huge gaps in the rest of the Tull catalog was not a golden era, dammit.

I know the notion that year was the 30th anniversary of Stand Up, a record IA and a big swath of their older fanbase, and me, liked alot. And a couple tracks were already in the regular set, with Nothing Is Easy not uncommon making it an easy one to acknowledge. They were still doing the Passion Jig on that tour, or had brought it back. It knocked me out with the rest of the set list on, I want to say the 92 Light and Dark tour which I have raved about a little too much. At that point in time, hands down, no remote contest the most varied setlist of their 45 years, though much of it they have not fully stopped playing since, not that I think they should. In many respects I consider Bouree to be the penultimate, at least shorter Jethro Tull piece and I fully understand its regular inclusion in the set, and appreciate for years Ian always put it in different clothes, maybe a little less so in the past 10. In 92 about 3/4 of those songs I had never heard played live, certainly half, at that point not having missed a tour in 20 years. So that praddle you read in Tull net world about the set lists, save for them always to have been somewhat stagnant, is bs. In the seventies they always had a new album to represent, though the uneasiness in the crowd reaction in the new material was notable at points beginning with the Passion Play. I remember the Too Old tour mainly because I had not been floored Brick or Stand Up style by it to that point, over the years I recognize it as in the top quarter of their efforts, and after having been moderately disapointed by the second show in 75, more or less the Minstrel tour with only Minstrel played, they delivered all the goods in 76. "My name is Arnold Stirrup" Then something about playing a couple Jethro numbers and I am sure alot of the crowd believed him, as he looked so different from even a year earlier. Like the A or UW tour, more than I bargained for. Plus Jeffrey being gone and this new guy from a band I had not been impressed with opening on the War Child tour had my expectations lowered. And then he/they delivered ALL the golden yummies.

I closed my eyes and and picked out a CD and Dot Com was my random choice and I'm so pleased to have another listen to it after a long spell away from hearing it. Apart from "Hot Mango Flush" which I've never liked I really enjoyed every other track. Some might say it was a bit too commercial but for me it's a very good album.

Just my opinion but Dot Com is Tull's worst album, worst album cover and Dot Com worst song.

Just my opinion but Dot Com is Tull's worst album, worst album cover and Dot Com worst song. Well it's good that we're all different in our love of Tull. I've never liked 'Minstrel' but no doubt I know there's many here will say it's there favourite album.

Even with the "Hot Mango Flush" this album is worth the time to ROCK with. Also a cool bonus track... "It All Trickles Down" from me to you.
