Jethro Tull at their prime. A fantastic live act, with showman and band leader Ian Anderson putting on his usual incomparable performance. Those who have yet to be introduced to the Tull canon have a treat in store. Ian Anderson is a musical genius, and Tull are one of the greatest rock bands produced by this country.

I agree BUT. Holy shit. I have been looking past the Tull band play live from 1980 to 1987 those 7 years, How the Fuck did I not know how many great songs Ian had. . It wasn't until a year ago that some 15 year old girl started to make You Tube videos of her playing her bass guitar to Tull songs " and she is great" she would play these great jams and I am like what Tull song is this, songs like Black Sunday and another song that slips my mind now but anyway I started to go back and because of her listen to all these great songs on albums I didn't like from Tull and ya know what? I WAS FUCKING WRONG!!!!!! They are great songs on these 1980's Tull albums I never liked when they first came out. And I see them playing them live on You Tube video's like this one, some guy playing Keboards and Violin I dod not know who that drummer was but he was fucking great!!!! The A album, Storm Watch, Crest Of A Knave, Ians first solo album with songs like " Trains".

I am so mesmerized by the Celtic themed songs Ian has composed. Such a mystical sound, and a very insightful protrayal of the war-torn history of his Scottish roots. Many of his songs such as "Jack In The Green" and "Solstice Bells" should be adopted as modern folk songs worthy of being passed down.

John Glascock, the bass player, died of heart failure in 1979 which lead to the drummer, Barimore Barlow, leaving too hence the break-up of this line-up. This video cannot be from the Stormwatch tour as Glascock was already ill and had to be replaced before the start of it. He left during the recording sessions for the Stormwatch album after just 3 songs recorded.

I saw the Stormwatch tour October 22, 1979 at Uniondale, NY. Ian wore a pair of goggles over his eyes for the whole show because a few nights before he was hit in the eye from a thorn from a rose someone threw to him. I wish I had taken a photo or some other photos or videos exist from this concert, but our phones were connected to our kitchen walls and didn't have cameras back then. Who ever took this video did a good job, it's captures what it was like to be at that performance back in the 1970's. Ian/Tull always put on a great performance even for the few in the lousy seats.

This was before the track had been recorded - Anderson says it's so new they can't even play it - so it was still in its infancy with ideas being tried, kept or let go which is why John is in the performance. He wasn't around after this tour and had, of all things, developed endocarditis, something an infection in a tooth can send bacteria by blood to the heart that attacks the heart function and if not caught quickly enough with antibiotics will end in full-blown surgery which he did not survive. It's an ironic thing that teeth health actually affects the health of the heart. Stormwatch was a great album.

Isn't this early 1979 and, technically, the end of the Heavy Horses tour? 1979 began with the continuation of the Heavy Horses tour but they inserted the as yet unrecorded Dark Ages into the set. John was still playing bass and would do so through the last show of the tour... 1 May, 1979. Stormwatch was recorded mid-1979 and the Stormwatch tour commenced - sadly, sans John Glascock, in the fall.
