Good ear

Is Songs From Manchester a good recording?

The Manchester Feb 5, 1977 recording is mostly superb. It is a soundboard.

The first half hour, throughTAAB sounds as good as any officially released live album from the 70s. Songs from the Wood though Velvet Green seems to lose the wide stereo speration and depth, but the superb sound quality returns for TOTRR, Beethoven's 9th, Minstrel, Aqualung, Wind up and Backdoor Angels. Locomotive Breath again seems compressed. Not sure why the the sound gives way in certain parts. Also, no Crosseyed Mary! I can' imagine that they didn't play it as it is on every other 77 Tull show I've heard.

There is no other 1977 Tull recording that even comes close to this sound quality, not Hippodrome 77, Trousersnakes, even the next year's official Bursting Out doesn't sound as good. I tweaked it a bit with an equalizer to make it even better. Oh, and the band is ON, playing magnificently.

I used to say ''A Sackful of Trowsersnakes'', but now ''A Passion Play'' live. It lists under ''All your rich attainments are imagined''. ::)

Ripe with rich attainments, all imagined.

Here is a sample of one of the better Passion Play live recordings. From Seattle July, 25th 1973. I am currently working on a remaster (for my own amusement)

Thanks for the suggestion Mttbsh, I'll have to download that one.

Great video Tulltapes! Love the quality. I don't think I've ever heard this played live except in your videos.

Nice job on the Seattle show Erin, There is a decent recording of this entire show out there. You have done some GREAT work with the videos that you have posted..thanks

Kai there is are quite a few entire Passion Play show, another decent one is from LA July 20 73 and the one from July 12 1973 Fort Worth Texas.

Thanks for the info Derek. Glad to know people who are knowledgeable with Tull bootlegs. Will be checking the Passion Play bootlegs out--love hearing it live. A lot more exciting than the album, and I love the album.

Does anyone know of any good ones from the Broadsword tour?

I was in the audience for the Seattle '73 concert, opened by Robin Trower.

It was a great show, eclipsed only by the Seattle TAAB concert the year before (6-11-72) which was recorded and broadcast on KTAC FM a week later. That would hands down be the ultimate Tull bootleg if anyone has a copy - someone must have recorded it off the radio, I've been looking for it for almost 40 years!

Funny, there is a Zeppelin bootleg from that exact same date (6-11-72) of them playing in Baltimore. Pointless trivia.

For those interested in downloading some of the bootlegs there is a great website here:

http://worldofjethrotullbootlegs.blogspot.com/

It doesn't have all of them, and some of the links are broken. There are other places to find them, but this website has a lot of them. Including the aforementioned Manchester concert

I figure EMI or anyone else won't have a problem with me putting this here since they aren't official releases and nobody is making money off of them. One of the many good things about the internet (besides The Jethro Tull Board of course).

I've never heard that there was a recorded-for-broadcast Thick as a Brick concert, that sounds amazing!! Now I'll probably be expecting it to come out on the 40th anniversary reissue (and be disappointed when it doesn't =( ).

As for my favourite bootlegs:

Stockholm '69
Berkeley '71 - great stage banter and the band is on fire, I'm sure the tape recorder melted after this
Wolverhampton '72 - hilarious stage banter (and an interactive crowd, too!), frighteningly tight version of 'Thick as a Brick'
Fort Worth '73 (or Oakland, both are really good)
Tokyo '74 - bootlegs from Japan always sound great, it's amazing
Seattle '75
The entire 'Supergroups in Concert' boot from '82

Thanks for all the suggestions prompter. I've only heard the track "Song for Jeffrey" off of the Stockholm 69 bootleg--will check out the rest of it.

I forget the name of the boot but I also love the 'A' tour boot with Eddie Jobson's violin solo on Protect and Survive. I also love Watchers On The Storm. The boots I have heard from the Under Wraps tour are also fabulous.

Ticketron, Sackful of Trouser Snakes and one I picked up on cd in Jakarta Velvet Flute. I thought it was legit when I bought it. Sackful wins by a country mile.

This vinyl belonging to an old Tull bootleg was finally ripped for me not too long ago by a good and old friend from internet and after a big amount of requests of myself to do it. Today it has also been posted on the blogsite of another good friend, marabunta, in order to be shed along every all well-known worldwide Tull quarters around. To download it you'll just have to follow the Magic Words displayed on this long post. It also worths reading the enclosed review. The final quality of this rip is in WAV files. Enjoy
