Couple of interesting releases - especially the first one - via the following extract and link: "Jethro Tull – Live at Carnegie Hall (U.S. and U.K., 2LPs); Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson – Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland (U.S. only, 3LPs)" as taken from ultimateclassicrock.com/record-store-day-2015/No info yet on Burning Shed. Keep an eye on any release and sourcing information people! Regards to all Tullies! IcyL |

Is this the vinyl version of the recordings that were part of the 25 years box set? |

2.My God
3.With You There To Help Me/By Kind Permission Of
4.A Song For Jeffrey
5.To Cry You A Song
6.Sossity, You're A Woman/Reasons For Waiting/Sossity, You're A Woman

This CD omits "By Kind Permission Of" and "Dharma For One", due to CD time constraints. Both can be found on the Living In The Past compilation. This performance was later released again in an expanded edition of Stand Up. (60:28) |

Yes, I'd say they will spread the 60 minute recording onto 2 LPs.

I'd like to know about the mastering/pressing etc.
If they are just going to take the low res files and slap them on vinyl what's the point? If they aren't going to tweak it for vinyl what's the point?
Basically, if this is just a cash grab, how many versions of this show do I need?

Rhino sometimes gets things right. I found the vinyl Isle of Wight ("Nothing is Easy") underwhelming... but that was Back on Black. I have greater faith in Rhino doing this one. |

My daughter and I walked to the local record store in beautiful downtown Royal Oak. Hey, and what to my surprise! The very good (and wonderfully loud) Detroit blues-rock band The Muggs were playing in the back of the store, crammed into a space I would say was no larger than 5' X 8' (having played in spots that small, I can say without equivocation it is a real pain in the ass shoehorning all your gear in). We didn't buy any albums, but I pointed out the more important records to my daughter, and how James Cameron stole the look of the Avatar movie landscapes from Roger Dean (to her credit, she pretended to care), and we had fun listening to the band. She ended up buying an exorbitantly overpriced grey tie-dyed Led Zeppelin II T-shirt, which is hilarious considering she doesn't listen to them. But she has already stolen my Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Grateful Dead and Tull concert T-shirts, so she at least dresses the part.  |

I'm not sure who to reply to so I'll just throw this out. I just read a text of an interview with Peter Vettese who said IA exploded onto an audience one night going into the stands and giving them hell for blowing smoke at him. After that, Peter decided to leave Tull. He thought it was pathetic and said it affected the band in a bad way. I'm sure it was true and also pathetic in one sense, but in another, if you understand ian, it makes sense. Sure he plays flute and other instruments but singing takes up most of the song and without it those meaningful lyrics go unheard. Worse than that, if you can't sing to the fullest capacity of your voice, it takes alot of the joy out of performing. Matter of fact i think nothing makes a singer more unhappy than the incapacity to sing full-throated. Singing is one of the greatest joys in life if you are so gifted and inclined. ian never smoked pot, but cigarettes probably caused some damage, and if someone's blowing pot in his face, which hurts his voice, and it's already problematic, plus as he despises pot smoking and so-called hippies, he's going to be enraged, because they are diminishing his joy and his career, his very life's work. And also because he seems to have a great capacity for rage.
I saw Tull in Seattle during the tour when they were passing out a a cheap copy of Aqualung made in a local studio. They were supposee to be given to everyone in the audience before the performance. When he came out to start the concert he first asked everyone if they had their CD gift and drew blank stares. He immediately became furious and demanded someone from the stage crew come out and explain what had happened. A nice-looking young man eventually walked out to him and meekly explained the management had decided to give them out after the concert, apparently afraid fans would rioutously throw them around. Ian was like a child throwing a huge tantrum, self-righteously bitching about that decision as the audience sat dumbfounded and spellboundby his display of temperment. After a few moments he laughed it off saying it was okay to do the angry young man thing once in awhile and then pulled off his usual fantastic concert. But it ws clear that self-control and maturity were easily cast aside when the mood to go balistic overtook him.
Lastly, I saw him in concert in Seattle in the 80's and he was wearing a flamboyant black cape and a sort of black wide-brimmed gaucho type hat. He was intensely piping away on a solo on one leg when someone lit a firecracker. He stopped only momentarily to angrily say "Bloody fucking rude!" and then stormed away again on the flute. Quite captivating. i wondered if anyone else has seen him act out his famous flagrant temper so imperiously.

I hate the way Ian "goes off" on fans like that. I am sure that there are times when he's got a legitimate right to be upset with unruly and rude fans, but I know for a fact from having witnessed several of his outbursts, that there are other times when he was totally unjustified, like a recent example when he stopped in the middle of the flute intro to A Change of Horses to curse out a fan who had committed the crime of "talking." How unprofessional. FFS, it is a rock concert not a religious service....people are excited and you cannot expect utter silence. A true professional should not react in that way. I've told this story here before, where I took a girl that I was dating to the Little Light Music tour, she was a Deadhead, kind of hot with dark skin and curly hair....the librarian look. Anyway, we had smoked a little weed before going in, we were in the fifth row, dead center, Ian had a Persian rug on the stage, which if you remember had art-deco furniture and stylings. The first set of the show had an acoustic vibe to it, very Dead-like, and she was really enjoying it! Then, intermission came, there were long bathroom lines at the Beacon, it was only a 20 minute break, and some people sitting in the first few rows ahead of us were late in returning to their seats, due to no fault of their own. So during the middle of For 1000 Mothers, which opened the second set, Ian stepped back from the microphone and shouted "SIT THE FUCK DOWN" at them. You could only hear it if you were sitting up front, but it was very clear, she mentioned how uncool it was, and from that moment on she was completely turned off to both the show, and me also....because she knew how much I admired Ian as an artist. So basically, thanks to Ian, I didn't get laid that night! Jeff P.S. She did admit to me later how much she liked the first half of the show, and how cool she thought Martin was....and in the end she did succomb to my charms.  |

But a couple people wander in a little late because there's a line at the loo and he has a shit-fit? I feel like I'm on the "Trashing Jethro Tull" thread again. Good morning Weathercock-blocker! |

Just to clarify, the firecracker was not thrown at him nor in his vicinity. It was off to my right and I was about in the center and to the left a bit. it seemed to be some misguided person's way of breaking or celebrating the tension rather than just enjoying it. Ian actually sort of snarled "Bloody fucking rude" as only he can do with a certain eloquence and then continued on dynamically without missing a beat. He was also on one leg at the time and maintained that stance throughout the incident. I thought it was a beautiful display of poise and anger simultaneously and liked him all the more for it.

Back to Record Store Day: I didn't go as I was busy, and my favourite small record store closed since last year. So I just bought things on line later. Apart from Steven Hawking "singing" the Universe song with Monty Python, I ordered the Live at Carnegie Hall 2 x LP. I'm not bothering with the 3 x LP Iceland TAAB.
