Post Description

Tull are a musical powerhouse driven by the distinctive flute and wonderfully crafted melodies of Ian Anderson.
Jethro Tull have now performed almost 3000 concerts, featuring a powerful repertoire of classic material sprinkled with the latest gems from a string of vibrant new releases. Living with the past is the definitive record of Jethro Tull live. This stunning concert film, captured on the British and American tours in 2001, also features a unique reunion performance by the original Jethro Tull line-up which made the very first album back in 1968.

This disc is a concert and interview program laced together as a tastefully done ongoing commentary but, unlike a lot of commentary type concert DVDs, they seldom actually cut into or miss any of the music throughout! Camera angles are excellent, no person is favored over others in the band camera wise (although, Ian Anderson remains the obvious front man), and the song selections cross the entire history of this versatile band. If you need to see a refreshingly professionally done concert DVD, buy this! Solid, interesting, musical, and pure Jethro Tull from beginning to end. You even get to glimpse a reunion of the four original band members in an intimate present day performance of some vintage Tull. The only reason I gave this DVD four stars out of five was that toward the beginning of the disc they get a little carried away with switching scenes between concert settings. The musical track is steady and uninterrupted but the scenery changes get a little tiresome while one is trying to focus on the concert at hand. Still, absolutely worth it!

Persoonlijk vind ik dit een prima DVD al zal niet iedereen gecharmeerd zijn van het feit dat hier in feite twee concerten tot één worden gemaakt, te zien aan de afwisselend kleur en zwart-wit beelden, toch is dat met veel precisie gedaan en een en ander gaat naadloos in elkaar over.
Ook zitten er interviews tussen de nummers waar ik zelf totaal geen fan van ben maar hier is het niet zo storend.

Jullie zijn dus gewaarschuwd!

Voor de echte Tull fan zal het weinig uitmaken, die geniet gewoon van een eersteklas DVD met als bonus het optreden van de band in originele bezetting uit 1968 in een kleine zaal!
