This reminds me of the story about Ulysses... The movie with Kirk Douglas... When Ulysses and his men finds a giant footprint, the men are frightened: "This must be the footprint of a giant!!" But Ulysses is unimpressed: "Or a man with very large feet..."

Very few Blodwyn Pig RoIOs exist; this is one I've had for quite a few years and can be found with alternative covers and set lists but this is one of the most complete recordings. The Only Solitaire blog at only-solitaire.blogspot.com/2013/08/blodwyn-pig-live-at-fillmore-west-1970.html has some detailed info about this recording which includes the following: "The album loyally presents both of the short sets that the band played on that day, opening for not-too-sure-whom, but the «official bootleg» tag should count as a warning, since the sound quality is that of a good front row audience recording — you can hear all the instruments, but there is no question of any sort of «mixing» present, and this, as far as I can tell, is the norm for most of Blodwyn Pig's non-BBC live recordings, so get ready to live with this if your soul happens to vibrate on the same amplitude with Mick Abrahams."   |

Funny how the Blodwyn Pig logo is so similar to not one, but two prevalant bootleg makers of that era.....that alone should have earned them more attention from the boot-makers, no ?

I really enjoy seeing these' I have a few. My ex's brother was a sound and later a film technician at the BBC and later worked at Pinewood and Shepperton and personally recorded a lot of shows he attended, including rehearsals, but only ever kept them on tape. I think he had them transferred digitally more recently and I often wonder how they compare quality wise with some of these as I always found the bootlegs to be lacking in quality. I would find it really helpful if you could remark on the quality of these if you have them in your possession and then if ever I come across them at collector's fairs I might have an idea as to whether I'd be wasting money or not. |

I would find it really helpful if you could remark on the quality of these if you have them in your possession and then if ever I come across them at collector's fairs I might have an idea as to whether I'd be wasting money or not. All of the bootlegs where I've posted the covers are ones I have copies of. These have been sourced mainly from the internet and, where covers have not been included with the audio files, these too have been found on the web. Up until two or three years ago there was a site called Takklesoft which held a vast repository of Tull bootleg covers and this was the main source to the boots I'd downloaded which had no artwork. Other sources include friend's private collections and some swaps. As a rule of thumb, the audio to all of the bootlegs which I have posted the covers of are worthy of finding - some may be "muffled", some may have a fair bit of echo and many are quality audience recordings. Any recordings which are of bad quality are not considered for my collection. I have almost 450 bootlegs and most are, for the moment, boxed up in anticipation of an eventual house move to the meaner streets of where I live in Cornwall. |

Two TMOQ (Trademark of quality) logos.   And a radio station in St Louis pinched the Blodwyn Pig logo as well    And just to confuse things somewhat, a third version of the cover of the mighty Pig at the Fillmore West  |

The Munich boot just tears off the scab of Tull songs attritioned from the set list. By the time that tour got to California only the title track and Crazed Institution survived. No sign of Big Dipper, Quizz Kid, Chequered Flag. I don't think Requiem was ever played on this side of the Atlantic either.

These Ian Anderson lyrics are not always that easy to understand...  |

When this was on the radio I recorded it on reel to reel tape. Years later it was transferred to cd.
One of the best radio gigs ever and the concert was outstanding!

Was that really all one gig or King Biscuit mixing and matching two tours? I think I have about half of it on a cassette....

From memory it was a King Biscuit mix 'n' match and more than likely has appeared as other boots. We've probably got a copy of the same cassette somewhere as I reckon I got mine from a fellow Tull fan in the States around the same time |

   Track 1-9 were recorded live in Southampton, February 19, 1977 for BBC In Concert. Tracks 10+11 were recorded during the US tour April 1979. Track 12 is almost an acapella version and track 13 was supposed to have been recorded for a Burger King jingle in 1979 - more likely a studio piece of "noodling". |
