I always liked Stormwatch.. Orion and Home are some of my favorites. It is also a very dark and sad album as it was this time that John Glasscock was very ill and later passed on. Ian plays some bass lines on this album as well. Also it was the last time the "classic" and some might say the "best" Tull line up ever recorded, together. John Evans, Barrie Barlow, and David(Dee) Palmer leave after this tour, not of their own wants. On tour it brought us Dave Pegg and that wonderful costume. Some great songs are on that album...as well as the ones I mentioned above...Dark Ages, Flying Dutchman, Dun Ringil ...some great stuff I am not sure why you say that Barrie and the others were gone "not of their own wants"? On the 40th Anniversary DVD, Barrie states clearly that he and Glasscock were gonna leave to start their own project. Ian got out ahead, but it seems Barrie got what he wanted. No?
