Looks good...I'm gonna buy it on principle...I mean...I've already watched it multiple times on You Tube but I need to put my money where my mouth is and support Ian/other guys/record company etc in hopes they don't go all metallica war vs you tube.

That's a great point Bernie. I believe You Tube is wonderful to increase awareness of many live performances that are current. The Record companies get nervous and want to blame someone when things are not sold in large numbers. Most Tull fans would always prefer the official release due to fidelity and special features. Just add a few interviews or backstage moments and it always makes it a must have! God Bless RUV T.V. for doing such an excellent video.

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson to Release Concert Video and Album from "Thick as a Brick" Tour 10 June 2014www.classichitsandoldies.com/v2/2014/06/10/jethro-tulls-ian-anderson-to-release-concert-video-and-album-from-thick-as-a-brick-tour/In 2012, Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson released a sequel to his band’s classic 1972 concept album Thick as a Brick that imagines what paths Gerald Bostock, the precocious fictional child whose story was the basis for the original recording, may have taken over the ensuing decades. Anderson supported the new record, Thick as a Brick 2: Whatever Happened to Gerald Bostock?, with a tour that featured full performances of both albums at every stop. Now, a concert video and album documenting a show that Anderson played last year in Iceland is scheduled to hit stores on August 26. Thick as a Brick — Live in Iceland will be available as a DVD, an Standard-Definition Blu-ray, a two-CD set and as a downloadable video and album. Speaking with ABC News Radio in 2012 about the concept behind Thick as a Brick 2, Anderson said, “It’s looking at a snapshot of various aspects of today’s culture, society, economy [and] religion. Taking a look at how things have changed in 40 years, and what a different world we find ourselves in, for the most part due, if [for] no other reason, than the enormous growth of technology.” Anderson again revisited the Bostock character for his latest solo album, Homo Erraticus, a collection of songs with lyrics supposedly penned by Gerald based on the writings of a fictional amateur historian named Ernest T. Parritt who died in 1928. Ian will be playing the entire new album, as well as a selection of classic Jethro Tull songs, on his next U.S. tour, which kicks off September 12 in Seattle.

This is the first time Thick As A Brick and Thick As A Brick 2: Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock? have been offered in a combined set, resulting in a superb presentation of the complete story of Gerald Bostock. Jethro Tull's famed concept album Thick As A Brick was originally released in 1972 and featured one continuous track spread across two sides of an LP telling the story of a young boy named Gerald Bostock. 40 years later in 2012, Jethro Tull's founder and leader Ian Anderson continued the story, with the creation of Thick As A Brick 2: Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock?. Following this release, Anderson took both albums on the road to present the complete narrative live. This show, filmed in Iceland, brings Gerald's tale to life as never before and creates the definitive presentation of Thick As A Brick. Ian Anderson recently released the very successful solo album Homo Erraticus, and is currently on tour across Europe from June to September (full details at http://www.jethrotull.com). Underlining not only Ian Anderson's importance as a songsmith, Thick As A Brick – Live In Iceland also showcases this consummate live performer.

Uhmm... not that this is a bad news at all (I LOVE the circulating bootleg!) , but since the moment they announed that this show was intended to be (video) recorded, as per the following Montreux show in july was, I HOPED that the release choice would have been on the Montreux show together with the whole workshop footage from the day before as a bonus. Instead, we will get only two tracks (+ interview) from Montreux as a bonus; and this mean that, probably, we will never get the whole Monterux footgae (which, by defintion, as a Montreux release, it would have been in HD opposite to this SD release). But, you can't always get what you want..... (and there is plenty of exciting Tull related releases coming out during these months). Mixed emotions !

rockunitedreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/jethro-tulls-ian-anderson-thick-as.htmlTuesday, August 12, 2014 Jethro Tulls Ian ANDERSON: Thick As A Brick - Live In IcelandRating: Live 2CD Label: Eagle Records 2014 Review by: Urban "Wally" Wallstrom Oh Ian Boy! The flute, the flute is calling. Standing on one leg and playing that darn thing for 46 years is no child's play. Anderson is the right man for the job though. Some would say it's the very definition of Thick as a Brick? Let's not go there but rather back in time as Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson visited Iceland for concerts at the Harpa Hall during the early leg of the TAAB 1 and 2 tours of 2012 and 2013. This is the first time Thick As A Brick and Thick As A Brick 2: Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock? have been offered in a combined set, and the quality is sustained throughout both parts. On part:1 The instruments remains the same as in 1972 (the original release year of TAAB 1) with Hammond, Fender Jazz Bass Gibson Les Paul, etc. However, Anna Phoebe add some violin and Ryan O'Donnell add vocal content that Ian couldn't achieve while playing various instruments. It's one of those big 70's concept albums which featured one continuous track spread across two sides of an LP telling the story of a young boy named Gerald Bostock. Thus why CD one is merely one massive long track and probably not intended for the fan of 3 minute long songs. This 2CD live release may just lack the feeling of upfront and raw live music. It's perhaps just too perfect and neat as everything shines like a burning star. I quite like it though and you can't blame the musicians for being sloppy or out of order. The whole prostate awareness banter and interlude is just way too long and out of context, even if the Icelandic audience might find it amusing? TAAB part 2 is clearly not quite up there with the first part, but several sections are great and the progressive folk-rock is dead on English and wacky fun. The 2CD set stand on its own, however, I'm sure that DVD or Blu-ray is the way to experience the show. www.jethrotull.com

somethingelsereviews.com/Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson – Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland (2014)AUGUST 20, 2014 BY NICK DERISOStarted as an impish parody of the genre, Thick as a Brick has grown to be much more than the title of Jethro Tull’s 1972 single-song prog-rock opus. It’s become a kind of life-long meditation for songwriter Ian Anderson. He returned to the theme for the 2011 solo album Thick as a Brick 2, combined the two albums into a mammoth stage show, and then explored still another of its angles on Homo Erraticus, released earlier this year. Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland, set for release on August 26, 2014 via Eagle Rock, illustrates just why. Of course, performing the two albums back to back — first the original project and then the follow up — helps connects the dots throughout Anderson’s lengthy and involving musical narrative. But it also highlights the complexities lying just beneath the surface for main character Gerald Bostock, a figure who at first might seem to be nothing but this caricature of an overactive prepubescent imagination. Instead, Anderson uses this new project (offered in DVD, Blu-ray and CD formats) to help peel back layer after layer, revealing a figure caught within the larger forces of late-20th century England. He wants to believe in the grandeur of history, in the might of a military tasked with greatness, in his own kind of manifest destiny. But those days were, by then, most assuredly gone. In a way, we watch — we feel — them die all over again during Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland. And you thought this was supposed to be funny? It is, of course, in its way. Anderson’s grand intellect is just as sharp in the sequel as it was in the original, even as he lays out five possible fates for our young protagonist — again over a continuously evolving piece of musical landscape. What’s missing, on the other hand, is the rest of the old band — something made obvious in the official artists designation of “Jethro Tull’s’ Ian Anderson.” But, to be truthful, there is little time for the kind of improvisational flourishes they were known for here, as much of the content has been structured to the finest click. With the exception of Ryan O’Donnell, who steps in to help our flute-playing frontman achieve some of the early vocal calisthenics that are now beyond his range, Anderson’s new collaborators do little to distinguish themselves as anything other than the sidemen they no doubt are. Besides, the star of this show — whatever the album cover says — will always be Gerald Bostock, anyway.

Sound and picture quality excellent on the DVD. I did find the interview a bit annoying though as it is, in my view, very stop and start with the interviewer asking the same questions again.
A great momento of the tour for all those of us who went to see the concerts and hopefully anyone with blu-ray will give us their thoughts on the release.

A coincidence ? Iceland issues Bardarbunga volcano red alertIceland has issued a red alert to the aviation industry for the Bardarbunga volcano, meaning significant ash emissions are likely. The Icelandic Met Office has warned that a small sub-glacial eruption is under way at Bardarbunga. More at www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28913165

Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland Blu-rayReviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, August 24, 2014 www.blu-ray.com/movies/Jethro-Tulls-Ian-Anderson-Thick-As-A-Brick-Live-In-Iceland-Blu-ray/105893/#ReviewMost people associate the term "rock opera" with groups like The Who and their epochal Tommy, but the "court jester" of that era's rock scene, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, could probably make a case that his 1972 effort Thick as a Brick qualifies, especially since it was written with a touring performance clearly in mind. The original Thick as a Brick album was famous for only featuring one track that spanned both sides of the LP. Some 40 years after Thick as a Brick topped the charts globally, Ian Anderson, puckish as ever, revisited his concept and released Thick as a Brick 2: Whatever Happened to Gerald Bostock?. This invigorating 2012 performance in Iceland (a place Anderson has made a regular stop on his tours) offers both albums as one complete theater piece. Anderson has always been one of the more theatrical rock stars of his generation, and this multimedia presentation offers weird little Andersonian snippets of video, mime and, of course, fantastic music. Why this relatively recent offering should have only been shot in standard definition is another matter entirely, but Eagle Vision is at least to be commended for its "up front" way of labeling this release as a so- called "SD Blu-ray". Anderson is joined by John O'Hara (keys, accordion), David Goodier (bass guitar), Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums and percussion) and Ryan O'Donnell (vocals, dance and mime) on the following songs: Thick as a Brick (entire original album) From a Pebble Thrown Pebbles Instrumental Might Have Beens Upper Sixth Loan Shark Banker Bets, Banker Wins Swing It Far Adrift and Dumbfounded Old School Song Wootton Bassett Town Power and Spirit Give Til It Hurts Cosy Corner Shunt and Shuffle A Change of Horses Confessional Kismet in Suburbia What-Ifs, Maybes and Might-Have-Beens Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland Blu-ray, Video Quality Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick Live in Iceland is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Eagle Vision (an imprint of Eagle Rock Entertainment) with an AVC encoded 1080i transfer in both 1.74:1 and 1.78:1 (the live concert footage is in the former aspect ratio, while some of the interstitial material is in the latter). Why this relatively recent performance wasn't captured in high definition is a debate for another day, but what's here is about what should be expected from an upconvert. Close-ups are at least reasonably decent looking, with okay color and a smattering of fine detail. Midrange and wide shots are often little more than blobs of inchoate color. Black levels are somewhat variable as well, and contrast is middling. You came here for the music anyway, right? Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland Blu-ray, Audio Quality Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick Live in Iceland features both a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and an LPCM 2.0 option, and both offer excellent fidelity and very clear reproduction. My one niggling qualm with the 5.1 mix especially is that the extra oomph in the lower registers sometimes tends to slightly bury Anderson's and (especially) O'Donnell's voices. Otherwise, though, there's a lot of nice separation and good hall reverb on the 5.1 mix, and it's especially fine in reproducing the huge gamut of instruments (including some vintage ones) that Anderson exploits during this concert. Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras Interview with Ian Anderson (1080i; 14:16) Ian Anderson and Claude Nobs Workshop: 'Someday the Sun Won't Shine for You' offers the rare sight of Nobs trying to play an instrument. (1080i; 9:32) Live at Montreux 2012: 'Upper Sixth Loan Shark' and 'Banker Bets, Banker Wins' (1080i; 7:12). (This one does not look like an upscale). Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick - Live In Iceland Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation Anderson is still as spry and winning as ever, and he's in top form here, chatting with the audience and leading the band through its paces with aplomb. It's a real head scratcher why this ended up in standard definition, and so prospective consumers need to come to this with expectations firmly in check, at least with regard to the video quality. Sonically things are much better here, though some may feel (like I do) that the voices could have been prioritized a bit better in the mix. Still, it's a joy to see this "theater piece" in all its weird but enjoyable glory. Recommended.
