An unboxing video of the new set. Thanks and acknowledgement to the original uploader.
Not one of my favourite albums - I'll be giving it a miss. Usual nice presentation though.
Don't fancy the UK tour either. Can't stand the background videos.
Best regards to all.

Icy L I have been passing on the box sets that don't include at least three or four previously unreleased tracks....this one I bought because it does seem to have some new stuff, although I suppose it will all be readily available on youtube in a few weeks. I totally agree with you about the 25th Anniversary tour, Bob....it is a continuation of the Rock Opera tour in that there are tons of prerecorded videos, as you mentioned. Not my cup of tea either.

Great album. The 2 living in these hard times sound awesome. Both are Classic Tull quality tracks after the great remix. The other bonus tracks are solid. Beltane and Everything in our lives are probably the best of the others. Pretty decent tracks. The 2 Botanic man tracks and Horse hoeing and Quatrain are good. Jackalynn isn’t as good as the 1981 home version. Living in these hard times version 1 should have made the album. It’s become a Tull great imo.

Another unboxing video in which the presenter - who has his own, er...unique approach - makes, as a non-Tull fan, some very valid observations. Acknowledgement and thanks to him as usual.
In addition some of the tracks are already appearing on YT e.g. here
And footage of the 'new' tour which imo doesn't look especially new at all is appearing now. Here is some from Helsinki
Much the same backgroundvideos are being used (f... me, I know what a Locomotive looks like), and in other clips even stuff from Slipstream appears. Perhaps this disguises the need for some as opposed to No Rehearsal. Pun intended. It all looks like its being done on the cheap. indeed Florian just looks plain bored.
If it was a real Heavy Horse I'd be tempted to call the glue factory.
The other two things that have annoyed me recently were IA's risible appearance on UK Breakfast TV and his implication in an online article, I've forgotten the source, where the UK tour was something he felt an obligation to do rather than wanting to do.
Give us the Stormwatch set Ian, and then hang up the flute.

The mystery continues on why IA breaks up a band to start afresh, with the time he has left, only to continue (live) doing the old routine with a net loss in performances. That drummer would put me to sleep. Icy, what about the Martin Barre show next month in Glasgow? A better proposition altogether. |
