Thank you Ian Anderson for all the great music. I first heard Jethro Tull in the late 60s and have been enjoying the music ever since. Head and shoulders above any other band IMO.

[@sandyaw3057]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@ShaareiZoharDaas]

My favorite group from childhood🎉

[@escapeinto4khd319]

Die hard fan and will be adding this to my collection, one of the best live albums ever released

[@slideguitarblues]

Thank you Ian. I am listening very often to this wonderful album in my car. I am German and 72 years old now and it brings me every time nice memories. Regards.... and keep rocking!

[@candelise]

The series of Jethro Tull album releases in this format are great and, possibly, the best examples of how to really present the music to the fans. I look forward to this album as I recall watching the broadcast from Madison Square Garden. The performance made me an instant fan of the band Jethro Tull.

Madison Square Garden is an amazing show! I'm definitely buying this!!!!

I don't like the dry Wilson sound and stick with my remastered version of Bursting Out, and with my MSG version which has also been released already.

I'm getting it as it in 5.1 and since I don't have the MSG show. Thanks Ian for the unboxing!

Thank you Ian Anderson for nothing in particular, but everything in general, as written on the Rock Island album label

[@Peter7966]

You don't play this kind of stuff? Ian, what on earth and beyond. This is some good music. You should pour yourself a pint and give it a listen. The young guy playing the flute is a bonafide character, a real showman of sorts with some musical skill.

[@obsessedwithcats]

Seeing Ian in front of a camera talking about his work is a treat-I’d absolutely love to see more like this. Definitely considering buying a copy!

[@jeffreygould101]

A great album, but the highlight for me is Conundrum, documenting the great Barriemore Barlow's drum techniques. Of all the great drummers of the 70's, prog or otherwise, he's probably at the top of my most-underappreciated-drummers-from-the-period list. Glad to have this performance to listen to!

[@peterdelaney7061]

Totally agree. His "call and answer" between snare and bass drums was ahead of its time, only rivaled by Terry Bozzio. Brilliant drummer

[@dagmark.2738]

I absolutely agree, and i'm wondering if there is actually another drum solo on the soundcheck version of 'Conundrum', would be amazing

[@peterdelaney7061]

@@dagmark.2738 Indeed there is. And the sound is as good as if not better than the performance version.

[@hydrogreen1111]

Thank you, Ian. Grew up on your music. Living in the Past broke me in way back in 1975. All the best.

[@paultanker5606]

G'day Ian, when I first heard "Living in the past!" I was totally blown away, the whole sound, and the Flute wow, instant Fan,I still have the Ticket from the first Concert I saw of the Band, Tues. 11 July 1972, brilliant ,I was most impressed at you telling a Young Mother to leave as she had a Baby with her, of course I have all your albums, I am now 74 so have ben following the Band for awhile! from Perth West Aust.

Woah amazing you were at that concert!! I wish I was born then so I could have seen them live 😎

[@handebarlas6248]

Wow how lucky to have been able to see them during that time!!!! I suppose Ian told the mother the concert hall was not suitable for a baby, is that so? How interesting to bring a baby to such a place, with all the loud noise! Honestly...

[@handebarlas6248]

By the way, I also heard Tull for the first time through LITP album. The clearest notion for me was "This must be real music!! What was I listening to before???". I also became an instant and a loyal fan. The earliest I was able to see them live was during Under Wraps tour in 1994 though. I have all their albums of course. Thank you for sharing your memories. Cheerio.

[@clevebaker8399]

Jethro Tull/Gentle Giant 1972! The concert that changed the way I perceive awesomeness!! The greatest concert I’ve ever seen! Virtuosity, skill and music above all others!! Love you Ian!!

[@gibsongayle823]

My favorite group from childhood as well. Great live band, note for note like the LP. I have most of the J.T. offerings so I will probably buy this offering. Also have all the ticket stubs from all of the Tull shows I attended starting in '69 and running through '82 or so.

[@jamesbowen8960]

Hello my dear Ian. Detroit guy here. I've seen Tull 8 times,never in the same venue. Cobo Arena,Silverdome,Masonic Temple,Pine Knob, Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, the Palace of Auburn Hills,the State Theatre and the fabulous Fox Theatre. Thank you for all the great music and wonderful memories.I hope history is very kind to you and your band. I hope you and Martin are on positive terms, he's really great too!

[@tinostabile3256]

Thank you Mr. Anderson... for these marvelous reissues. Your writing and your intelligence is something to behold. I am investing in all of these sets. You have set the standard. Thank you. I would pay even to listen to you speak. God bless.... Wishing you a long life. I am a lifelong fan. Thank you for your incredible catalog being produced with class and respect it so deserves.i will keep buying these box sets as long as you are releasing them. Thank you.

[@apollomemories7399]

I can vividly remember the excitement of sitting waiting for the 1978 satellite broadcast to begin. I was at my friend's house and had his dad's Sony "Music Centre" on tuned to BBC Radio 1 FM. Stereo broadcast TV in 1978! Amazing!

[@paulvalois2300]

I saw Jethro Tull for the first time at the Providence Civic Center in 1973 and most recently last November at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. I’ve worn out vinyl, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs of many albums in each era. I listen to many other artists and genres of course, but often pop in my AirPods and crash for a while listening to classic and more recent Tull.

[@Stevew443]

I had the pleasure of seeing the Thick as a Brick show at West Virginia University so many years ago. Has it been over 50 years now? I was a young university student in those days and now I am an old man still listening to Jethro Tull.

The "inflated" version. That's funny! O' course I gotta go get it. It will be the third time I will have possessed this music. It's just that great. Thank you, Sir!

[@ivanjovanovic4728]

"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Festhalle Bern. Sit back, relax and enjoy the evening with..." Hello Ian, I'm what you might call a lifelong fun of Tull. This video just reminded me of mid 70-ties when Tull gave their first concert in Belgrade. Then I acquired Songs From The Wood which is to this day my favorite, together with Heavy Horses and Stormwatch. From that point on I researched Jethro Tull backwards in time and collected everything the band (in all its incarnations) published afterwards. Funny thing is that the Madison Square Garden concert (together with the famous "Russian microphonics" 🤣) was about the first thing my family watched on our brand new color TV. As for Bursting Out I heard it so many times I think I can sing or whistle every single minute of it even today. So thank you Ian and the guys for improving my life with your inimitable music and super-funny shows.

[@anguslean4058]

Bursting Out was brilliant The whole live album was great My two favorites are Aqualung - Amazing lead guitar And second was Locomotive Breath The intro hops It is one of the best guitar piano combo ever written and played. Well done !

[@user-tf9en1lo3c]

A truly great live album with some outstanding, tightened up performances of songs like Thick as a Brick and Minstrel in the Gallery.

[@michaelmclarney1994]

I was there for the Montreal concert, went front row , stood on a chair for a bit (conveniently supplied by the security team) and saw Ian's amazing antics, playing, sweat and dirty spot on his left leg .. up close He smiled and i was in a trance One of the best concerts i ever witnessed and as a musician these guys were the cream of the crop .... phenomenal in all aspects 🙏

What an honor to hear this directly from YoU sir, the guy who first blew me away live in ‘75 in Minneapolis and continued to be a source of original excellence since! Bless you and all your various musical compadres for blessing US with your work! Back then, in High school, the cool kids were into “Tull, man!” I don’t know how cool we’ve remained, but I know you had broadened my musical horizons by age 15. Thank You doesn’t begin to cover it! ✌🏼

Ian, I saw this show. You were the greatest showman I ever saw. I think it was Songs From the Wood tour. The best was the joke at the beginning your opening act was Jonathon Livingston Segull, sand 3 notes. And then there you were doing wondering aloud acoustic by yourself. The Giant ballons at the end of your shows was great. 😎🎸

[@KevinSnodgrass-p5k]

MY #1 LIVE ALBUM FROM ANY GROUP EVER!

[@jreuing4043]

I would love to hear an in-depth talk on how Mr Anderson developed his breath control. He managed his incredible pitch and tone while actively moving on stage also being on one leg. Switching between flute and singing without time for a proper inhale. I just don't understand his breathing muscles or how he controlled them. I have seen other performers manage this well like Axl rose and freddie mercury but non come close to being as proficient as Ian Anderson in this regard

[@howarddare192]

Hello Ian Anderson and thank you for all the wonderful music. And thank you for the KZbin videos as well. Good to see you Sir.

[@coolstuff4011]

A truly wonderful record. One of the very few “ live” albums I can listen to. Incredible in all respects- what musician -ship to behold!

Man, I discovered Tull later in life (had always heard them as a kid, but it never stuck), and I have to say this is exciting! Not a week goes by that I don't fire up some Tull and spend some time on the road or chilling out in the garage (and, on occasion, dancing like a fool in the living room). Great to see!

[@thevalveman9636]

My first concert ever in the Apollo Glasgow ( or as it was the known....Greens Playhouse). Magical, anarchic, loud, theatrical, mesmeric and animated with some of the best insightful and telling lyrics ever written with musical dexterity, fluidity and panache. So much joy from one band...thank you!

Ian is still a most brilliant clever man. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2002. He does not shake hands for fear of being injured by a too-tight grip by an enthusiastic fan --- He taps elbows. Then he did a solo tour called, "Rubbing Elbows With Ian Anderson" and everyone in the audience got a free autographed kazoo. (Anybody can play a kazoo --- Why not you?)

[@pd9121]

Been a Tull-ite since the early 70s but we caught the Rubbing Elbows stop in Chicago with our son. Ian handed down *his* kazoo to our son who was around 10 at the time. It was a special evening and still is a nice memory!
