[David C]

Looks like this could be the one we've all been waiting for :-)

This superb set pulls together material from Jethro Tull concerts across their career and filmed at some of their many stopovers around the globe. It reaches back as far as the legendary Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970 and as recently as the Estival in Lugano, Switzerland in 2005. Much of the material is previously unreleased. The set is packaged in a 19cm x 14cm 32 page hardback book with 2 discs in each inside cover. Disc 3 of Around The World Live offers an insightful interview with Ian Anderson from the Hilversum 1999 session.

The book contains photos from Ian Anderson’s personal archive and a text on all the different shows by Joel McIver. Around The World Live charts Jethro Tull’s ever evolving music through blues to rock to folk to electronica with a frequently changing line-up anchored by the ever present frontman Ian Anderson.

Around The World Live charts the global success of one of rock’s favorite acts. Highlighting the band’s illustrious career and phenomenal concerts, this is treasure trove of Jethro Tull material.

Jethro Tull to Release 4-DVD Live Retrospective

It just keeps getting better for Jethro Tull fans. Fresh off a 40th anniversary reissue of ‘Thick as a Brick,’ and longtime frontman Ian Anderson’s ‘Thick as a Brick 2′ sequel project, Tull will release treasure trove of live performances spanning three-and-a-half decades from 1970 through 2005.

The massive four-DVD set from Eagle Rock, called ‘Around the World Live,’ will arrive on June 25. Favorites like ‘Aqualung,’ ‘Locomotive Breath’ and ‘Thick as a Brick’ are featured, of course, along with a number of other previously unreleased live performances.

Highlights include Tull’s 1970 appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, as well as selections from stops at Tampa, Fla. in 1976; a trio of dates in Germany between 1980-86 in Munich, Dortmund and Loreley; at Santiago, Chile in 1996; Hilversum, Holland in 1999; London in 2001; Montreux in 2003; and Lugano, Switzerland, 2005.

‘Around the World Live’ is packaged in a 32-page hardcover book, with two discs inside each cover. Photos from Anderson’s personal archive are featured, along with new liner notes from Joel McIver, who has written books on Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Metallica, among others. Disc 3 also includes an interview with Ian Anderson, from the Hilversum date.

Looks very very good. Im glad they kept the isle of white portion short. Tampa show is great, and I agree about the stormwatch tour, Paul--too bad there arent more Stormwatch songs.

[Mttbsh]

The way I could get excited about this release is if the "as yet unreleased" material - which I'm betting most of us already have - has been remastered. Obviously Tampa 76 is from the "Tull-a-vision" video screen and the sound quality is pretty rough, and Santiago 96, which is a good show (love the live version of Dangerous Veils) is taken from a somewhat dark television broadcast where again, the sound is just "OK", certainly not high resolution stereo.

If Eagle Rock has gone to the trouble of cleaning up the picture and sound instead of just slapping the rough broadcast videos onto disc, it will be well worth it to me.

"It just keeps getting better for Jethro Tull fans"...Yes! More OLD, re re re re re-hashed stuff

Amazon has the track listing for this, but no mention of the book:

I'm afraid I agree. I'd consider it if it was remastered for Blu Ray maybe.

Would Blu Ray make a difference with audio & video from the 70's?

If you give me a choice of current Ian vs classic line-up Tull, I'll take Tull everyday. The vocals are a serious issue.

Agreed, Geoff. I've felt that way for a LONG time. PS - Why has Ian gone out of his way to ignore the anniversary of Passion Play - Tull's last #1 album in U.S.?

[LJG]

No point in Blu-Ray if the source material doesn't justify it.

Kinda like making a vinyl record from a digital recording... pointless.

The 70's shows might have been recorded on film, which would make them truly BD-worthy.

Now, considering the many, many sources for this one, I'm afraid it'll most probably be just the different videos we have already seen, pasted into one set of DVDs. I believe that, if they were actually working from source tapes, the rest of that 1976 show might be featured, for example.

[skytzo]

Where's the Paris 1975 footage Ian?

APP has been remastered by Steven Wilson.

Here's a snippet from an RS interview with Steven last year:

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone India, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson said that you were keen to remix their 1973 album A Passion Play. He seems to have it in for that album, one that many prog fans hail as a masterpiece.

I think Ian is melting. I had the same thing with Robert Fripp. These guys were brainwashed for 20 years by the media. They were told that their music was old fashioned, that they were hippies, that they were irrelevant, that no one wanted to listen to that stupid pretentious music. We’re talking about a period from 1977 through to quite recently.

Things began to change very recently. The process began with Radiohead’s OK Computer and bands like Muse and The Mars Volta coming through. The media’s attitude to progressive rock began to mellow a little. It really began to kick in around five years ago. There’s never been a better time since the original era for that music to be accepted and listened to without prejudice.

One of the best things I can do is to take albums, not necessarily the established classic albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, and get people to actually take them seriously. I did that with a King Crimson record called Lizard. I think that is the greatest thing I did for a long time. One of the things that I am the most proud of was to take an album that everyone thought was a worthless piece of junk and make people understand it is a work of genius. That made me prouder than any of my own music. And I want to do the same with A Passion Play. I think that album is underrated, undervalued and I’m going to get Ian to re-evaluate it. It’s not the most immediate, but there is something about it that is pure intense art and it deserves to be noticed. I am really interested to see what people will make of it this time around.

Ian talked about removing the sax and I certainly hope that isn't the case.
I thought Steve did well with vocals and drum parts on TAAB but the guitar was almost non existent.

LOL.

Is Steve a member here? I need to ban his ass!

[Werbinox]

Very cool! I'm excited about this

[Werbinox]

I guess its time to re-buy that album

[Deleted]

The only performance on the DVD set list that was NOT video was The Isle of Wight and the only two songs included from that, My God and My Sunday Feeling, were the only whole songs that survived, oh and Dharma which isnt included, Nothing is Easy was only half there. On the Isle of Wight DVD the rest of the songs were pieced together with b roll and bits from the other songs, We Used To Know was completely gone.
Anyway the rest of the performances were all video and there's no reason for a Blu Ray. You cant up the quality. My only hope is that they remastered the audio.
Would've been nice for a Paris 75.....! (We're running out of time Ian, you'll want to get it out to the fans that would still want it before their all dead!)

"Interviewed in Rolling Stone - INDIA" a happenin' place, that India.

This looks great! The idea of Ian taking out ANYTHING on any of their albums is absurd. Leave it alone!
