We seem to have run out of things to vote on, so whilst the more knowledgeable members of the forum think of something even more obscure, lets have a go at the live recordings Usual rules: 1 point off least favourite added to your most favourite. I've split the CD and DVD versions of Living With The Past as they have different track lists. And I've only included releases that are (or have been) available on Amazon - official or otherwise. Bursting Out - 10 Slipstream - 10 Live at Hammersmith 1984 - 10 In Concert -10 A Little Light Music -10 Living With The Past (CD) -10 Living With The Past (DVD) -10 Ian Anderson Plays The Orchestral Jethro Tull -10 Nothing is Easy - Isle of Wight 1970 - 10 Live in Montreux - 10 Live in Bethleham - 10 Jack in the Green -10 Passion Flute - 10 btw edited the title - as obvious LwtP and JitG are not complete performances. The idea is the best CD/DVD

As a complete package, It's got to be Bursting Out - BUT - I love Jump Start from the In Concert CD, check out the false ending, after which MB shows his real talent when let off the leash

Shouldn't we also be including disc 4 of the 25th Anniverary Boxset - Live Across World/Years and Disc 3 of the 20 Years boxset? The Essential Tull. 12 of the 18 tracks on Essential are live.

The Essential Tull gets my vote today - some excellent live versions. I particularly enjoy the listening experience of Pibroch/Black Satin Dancer and the Wond'ring Aloud/Dun Ringill combo.

Montreaux gets today's vote because it's so well filmed and features Andy Giddings clearly enjoying himself. Living with the Past continues to get a point off because it should/could have been a good DVD but is ruined by interviews interrupting the concert footage. Passion Flute - 10

This ones as daunting as the romantic one, very nearly any could be number one depending on the day. I do have much warmer feelings for Living With The Past on DVD than many seem to, the interviews do not spoil my fun, and talk about a sight I never thought I would see, the original band. Many of the performances are jewels like Cross Eyed Mary, I love the way its filmed, many don't, and the acoustic pieces with Andy and the string quartet in IA's house. Oddly taking a point away from Light Music, likely my favorite Tull tour with the exception of TAAB and War Child. I believe some of the boots from this tour present a little better. I am fond of the Orchestral one too, that Eurology opener is very sweet, and marks an element of Ian's continued evolution to suit his years, and its a really good piece of music and another very deep color in his Tullish cornucopia from the voice that once sang with a Locomotive Breath. That recent collaboration with Miss Shankar and in specific that piece Celtic Cradle are on similar turf as Eurology (with sitars and tablas tossed in for good measure) and is one I think will pop up on the next Tull release. All those recent videos to my ears show him in very good voice as well, a voice I like just as well as his young one, and though I am some years shy of IA's age I can relate to the strains of time.

Slipstream is the best...for the majestic 'Black Sunday' alone...although the SFTW, Aqualung and Locomotive Breath are no slouches.

By 1978, Ian was 31, Tull was an established arena rock band, with nothing left to prove...their show was great, but it was all choreographed, rehearsed an polished down to the last note. If you go back to the Isle of Wight DVD and see how they were playing in 1970 before they made it big, they were just much more energetic. Their performance was much more improvised with that sort of youthful, raw, white-hot energy exhibited by a band with a lot to prove. Bursting Out is good, but Isle of Wight was freakin' tremendous, in fact it was widely acknowledged at the time that they blew the place apart. (Tull were the last act to perform at the festival.)
