JETHRO TULL: 'Bursting Out' Deluxe Edition | UNBOXED & REVIEWED

[@essenegnostic8711]

I saw this tour in Montreal. Best show I have ever seen, and I saw many.

[@hhpoa]

An extraordinary performance by one of the greatest bands in rock history.

What a band in the 70s love the sound of Tull with its intricate weaving of folk/rock vibes and almost medieval stirrings. Outstanding music from an outstanding era...

[@mr.bloodvessel260]

At their true peak!

[@michaelressner2425]

This was the ever best band setting of Tull. I have the vinyl and play it when I dream of the "good old days".👌

[@loucontino4804]

The quartet of Barre, Evans. Glascock & Barlow was absolutely impeccable and in my estimation the finest band playing back then. Of course, Ian was an immense talent as well, but just those 4 guys were jaw- dropping!

[@werdna9006]

When I was at college (many years ago) I cut my virgin rock concert teeth on this "Bursting Out" concert. They blew me away. Became a Tull lover ever since and this has to be one of the best live albums ever.

[@mcolville]

These are just the best Special Editions out there. The form factor isn't as spectacular as some of the big box sets with tons of replica tickets and posters, but the essays are all brilliant, tons of great info, and the amount and quality of music and concerts is amazing. And I love the bookshelf form factor!

[@mcolville]

Pre-ordered!

[@classicalbum]

Couldn't agree more!

[@63mckenzie]

I hope the remix is better than the CD I bought. Some idiot put a break between Quatrain and Aqualung.

[@duanedibley1455]

Totally agree. These box sets set the standards other bands should follow. Plenty to read on them, there as comprehensive as you can get. And, let's face it, it's always the music that matters.

[@marktait2371]

agree those are the best format ive seen many full size bocsets kinda overkill.these bookshelf much better store had heavy horses rather have nice text photos rather than poster stickers etc. i bougjt a blues cd book not as extensive same dont need all the extra stufffine for diehards though

[@jimfarrell4635]

One of my favourite live albums, and Steven Wilson's remixes are always special. I particularly like the 5.1 mixes. This will join my almost complete collection of Tull special editions, which are great value and a delight to own.

[@et2petty]

It was and now is a favorite

[@conanthebasset5792]

I can remember the days when "Bursting out" was originally released vividly. I was at boarding school then, and a lot of my fellow schoolmates were Tull fans. The album had heavy rotation on everyone's stereo system, many of us could imitate Ian Anderson's stage announccements. And we urged our music teacher to play it and do a special lesson about Tull (unfortunately he refused). So I'm really excited about the release of the Inflated Edition. Thanks for your preview-.

[@joemartucci4786]

Love Tull. Saw them on their Thick as a Brick tour with Gentle Giant in 72 in Buffalo. This album is one of my all time favorites live or otherwise. I hope this comes out on vinyl.

[@rightchordleadership]

Thanks, Barry. Ordered this the day I heard it was coming out. Tull at their absolute peak, IMO.

[@jamesstegemoeller9069]

I did the same thing! Wonderful album, and I can't wait!

[@kurtkensson2059]

First concert I ever saw, 4/8/1977, and despite all the concerts I've attended since then, no drummer I've seen has ever topped Barrie Barlow's solo that night.

[@Stonecutter334]

I was actually at that Garden performance on Oct 11 1978. I was 18 and a huge fan. Tull used to play NYC quite often back then and this was my 2nd time seeing them at the Garden , the first being on 11/30/77. Great band,great shows. To think Ian is still out there doing it is mind boggling to me. The man was and I guess still is quite a dynamo!

[@FuturePast2019]

8:10 You mean Oct 9 ?

[@Stonecutter334]

@@FuturePast2019 guess they played more than one night because my original MSG ticket stub says 10/11/78. My mistake. I still have both of my stubs.

[@FuturePast2019]

@@Stonecutter334 Yes, what I wanted to know was the film crew. It was live on "Old Grey Whistle Test" in UK. 9 Oct.

[@Stonecutter334]

@@FuturePast2019 its so long ago now. Id like to say I remember the shows but its all faded out. Cool that i can see that video now. Im sure i saw them a third time but cant find my stub for that one. Im sure the first lp of theirs i bought new was War Child. I would have been 16. So maybe then but i think it was later. People don’t really remember but they actually played Shea Stadium too.

[@clivesilver463]

I love what Tull have done to these remixes they all come as a hardback book format full of information and always with a surround mix, I have a few of these and they are always great value for money, the original album was always a great live concert, which caught the band at their very best, this is a must buy for me even if i have to sacrifice a few bingo nights.

[@mauharley]

The first vinyl album I bought. Brilliant album.

[@slowmarchingband1]

I bought the original on day of release, bunked off college and listened to it all day. That was a great time to be a Tull fan. I got the 'Stitch in Time' single on white vinyl just after, if I recall correctly.

[@jimfarrell4635]

I have that white vinyl pressing also. Great song. Need to play it when I get home.

[@Mr.Wrong1]

Oooh this looks lovely. Can't wait for my copy. I do hope they reissue more of these sets, just as they did at end of last year. Currently I am only missing 3 of the earlier sets, 2 of which are among my favourite Tull records. 🤞🤞🤞

[@BobbyBass-x6i]

Thanks for the review. I remember the kids at the corner playing this album all summer when I was a kid. I got the remastered version on CD. I have all the Tull box sets. They are the best IMO. Will definitely be ordering this one when it comes out. I’m also getting the Little Feat Feats Don’t Fail Me Now release and the 50th anniversary Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs release too. Ah the 70s are alive and well. Great to have new versions of classic albums on CD.

[@johnwolcot]

This all seems very exciting.

[@zachwalentiny]

No artist does super deluxe editions as good as Jethro Tull does. I have all the other ones released so far and can't wait to get this one too!

[@MikeHunt90731]

Well Live at Leeds holds that distinction 😊

[@Smedstack]

Really pleased that this has been released - I think all the Steven Wilson remixes are excellent. (I am sure that I read a few years ago that the master tapes had been lost so a Steven Wilson remix of Bursting Out would not be possible?)

[@samuelecallegari6117]

This happened also with Stand Up which actually wasn't originally remixed. Then they found the multi tracks so they could remix it properly in 2017 or something

[@stevepyle5080]

Thanks for the review. Being a Tull fan for many years, this is definitely a must have. I'll be purchasing asap.

[@davidsimon2096]

Thanks for the review. I can't wait to get this one.I really think Tull were at the absolute peak of their powers when they recorded Bursting Out. My only gripe was the version of Songs From The Wood on the original Bursting Out was half the studio length but the expanded version appears to be including the full version so big thumbs up for that. The additional tracks make this boxset an absolute must have.

[@guadalahonky4002]

Was tripping on mushrooms, washed down with cognac, at my friend's house during a fierce blizzard at-night in 1986 and another friend put this live album on. Heard 'Hunting Girl' and was never the same.

[@63mckenzie]

Quite simply the greatest live album ever. I'm sure the concert used for Bursting Out was broadcast by the BBC. Was that live footage lost or never recorded to video tape? Sacrilege if it wasn't.

[@mccallosone4903]

wow! thats my alltime favorite live album. i had no idea this was coming out

[@mccallosone4903]

.....and just ordered

[@TuckerSP2011]

We loved JT here in the States especially in the 70's. It's a big regret that I missed out on that show at Madison Square Garden. At the time concerts there were extremely expensive and tickets hard to get, I usually had to resort to scalpers. Unfortunately at the time I could not swing it. I'm sure this box set would be wonderful but pricey again. Actual $59 USD is really not bad.

[@TZ1000-zu7ki]

I'm looking forward to adding this set to my JT collection of box sets. These sets, along with Dylan's Bootleg Series, are the best of these sort of things. Thanks to Ian Anderson and Steve Wilson.

[@Mark-dx8rr]

I've really enjoyed the Anniversary Edition sets that have been released, although I have only This Was and Minstrel in the Gallery so far, I am super looking forward to Bursting Out!! One of the best live albums ever made and certainly one of my favorite live albums.

[@chrismcgovern6514]

Never the biggest Tull fan but I've always been interested in this album because 16 year old me attended this show. Uriah Heep opened and coincidentally I just saw them (well Mick Box at least) for the second time ever just two weeks ago. Interested to hear what Wilson did with this.

I'm so happy about this. I'm so excited to receive mine. Now, the best possible news that could come next would be an announcement or UNDER WRAPS, because regardless of one's opinion of that album (mine is quite positive), getting Under Wraps next would mean that CREST OF A KNAVE would be sure to follow at some point! Here's hoping!

[@michaellord9745]

The announcement of this set was a pleasant surprise to me. I assumed that once the Broadsword set came out these were finished. Would be nice to see a similar treatment for Under Wraps and Crest of a Knave.

[@martins.7060]

The first concert I ever saw was JT at the Nassau Coliseum ,the War Child tour in spring 1975. Its was amazing. The second time I saw them was in 1978 in Providence Rhode Island Unfortunately Ian was wearing an eye patch as he was still recovering from being stuck in the eye by a rose thorn thrown on stage a few weeks before. I think the performance suffered because of his unfortunate injury.

[@judmcc]

I'm looking forward to getting this. I wasn't expecting it, since it was skipped chronologically. I hope that they don't wait until the 40th anniversary of the rest, since they were much more spread out. When I get Crest of a Knave, I'll be a happy person, but its 40th isn't until September 2027.

These are great for collectors, publisher's and the uber fateful. Hated by relatives that have to get rid of all the stuff after you kick it.

I saw Tull at MSG in 1978. He had an opening act which was not real unbeknownst to us. His name was Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He came out sang 5 notes. Left the stage. & Ian came out & sang by himself Wondering Allowed. Why r they NOT in the hall of fame. Love Bakers Street Muse off of Minstrel.🎸😎

Thank you so much for this review! Gosh- my favorite period of the band . Just magic .nutty and larger than life. I wouldn't have minded if they continued on a varition of "songs from the wood" and "heavy horses " for at least a few more decades. And im also a fan of punk and new wave! I just wish this set added a few more oddities and rarities. For a serious fan like myself ,it seems like i already have most of it. And im so disappointed in the lack of more new visuals. Question: its been covered that some live concert repairs were made in post production ( i dont really care , i adore the original " bursting out" ) .one: as a fan it might be fun the hear the " mistakes" and ,two: can steven wilson hear the repairs when he's remastering?

interesting but never understood why we have DVDs as audio only.

[@johnreuter4916]

To hold the extra data needed for the Surround Sound. A Super CD can hold it as well, but far fewer people have a Super CD player than have a DVD player. The vast majority of home theaters include a DVD player. There are many Audio DVDs and Blue Rays available with Surround versions of classic albums, there are surround version of Beatles, Tull, Yes, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Doors and a wide range of big selling artists. The focus is on well recorded records that are popular enough to sell in a Deluxe format. Prog is particularly well represented among Audio DVDs.

[@jimfarrell4635]

​@@johnreuter4916Nicely explained. And Steven Wilson is a master of high resolution aurround sound mixes.
