Summary: SIEMPRE TAN ESPECIAL.
Review: AUNQUE JETHRO TULL ES UNA BANDA DE ROCK AUTENTICA, POSEE ADEMAS
TAL CALIDAD DE CONOCIMIENTO MUSICAL QUE PODRIA ABARCAR DIFERENTES ESTILOS.
UNO SE MERECE PODER VER A ESTE GRUPO LEGENDARIO EN VIVO Y ADMIRAR SU DOMINACION DEL ESTILO QUE ELIGIERON SEGUIR.
ESTA EXCELENTE.

Summary: OK, but kinda cheesy!
Review: I was expecting a little more. Overall I'm not that impressed with this DVD

Summary: it's awesome, however..
Review: I will say exactly what I think, and its up to Ian and Martin to decide the rest.. I'm not very comfortable criticizing fellow musicians, especially in a public forum. But why not. Maybe good things can come of what I have to say. All I have to say is this. Get rid of Jon and get a real bass player who can bring out more in the band. Outside of that, everything in the band is fine.

Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: There's too much switching from the concert where the recording takes place to an electronically enhanced image, to a different outside concert (while keeping the same sound track), to a video clip, back to the enhanced image, back to the outdoor concert, back to the original, etc.. It drove me nuts. Also, they have too many interviews in this. The lead in for every song is a series of interviews. They even put interviews in the middle of Bouree and New Jig. Yes, right in the middle! On the bright side, Wond'ring Aloud and Life Is A Love Song are recorded as acoustic versions done in a parlor setting with two violins, a viola, and a cello accompanying the band. For me, the two acoustic numbers alone are worth the price of this DVD. I can always fast forward through the interviews and just listen to the rest. Remember, it does sound great! Just for the record: I own a fairly good 2 channel stero and not a home theater setup.

Summary: Ian shouldn't mix a live JT album!
Review: I'm frustrated, folks. Why, oh, WHY, do they allow Tull's Ian Anderson to mix a Jethro Tull live recording?! The drums are neutered to the point of almost being nonexistent in places! If it's possible to take the "oomph" out of a drum, Anderson does it like nobody else...it's all the more unfortunate given that Doane Perry is a superb drummer ( does America proud! ). He's got some awesome yet tasteful stuff going on...and it's all but buried on this DVD. I would think you'd have to work on making drums sound this thin, but Anderson's a pro at it!
My other complaint is that for some unfathomable reason, they couldn't just give us unedited, unadorned concert footage. It had to be interspersed with interview "nuggets" Fine, great idea...but why not offer this stuff among the "extra" features section of a DVD? Do we really want to hear Martin Barre's philosophy or favorite song list for the fourteenth viewing? What were they thinking, having the bass player's comments ON TOP of his bass solo?! If there's a way to turn it off, someone please tell me!
Guys...we aren't that stupid. We won't get "bored" with simple concert footage; trust us!
It's a good release overall, but if you're like me, be prepared to do some editing of your own, to make for a watchable performance without getting Ian's witticism for the umpteenth time...

Summary: Thank goodness for the acoustic songs, otherwise.....
Review: Man - this has to be one of the lamest rock concerts ever filmed.
I'm a huge fan and have seen Tull several times in the good old days (when they played music with PASSION) - but I don't know what was worse...the "don't dare get out of our seats, for we may not be able to find our way back" crowd, or the "make sure we play this song the same way for 20 years and try not too look like we want to blow our brains out" band. The two acoustic songs with strings in Anderson's living room save this DVD...a real intimate musical moment of two great songs.... if only there were more of that.

Summary: AUDIO DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: I have been a big fan of JT since the early 70's, so I was excited to hear that this concert disc was being released. I was very pleased with the picure quality & music content, but the sound was somewhat disappointing. Ian's mic level, in my opinion was to low. I found myself straining to listen to his vocals on many songs. The recording also lacked a solid low end, at times the drums & bass seemed to be pushed to the back of the recording. I would still recommend this DVD to all JT fans, I just wished the sound was better.

Summary: Captures the Tull concert experience
Review: I love Tull albums, but the real magic of the group can only be experienced by seeing them live. I've taken several people to Jethro Tull concerts over the years, and even those who were lukewarm about the band beforehand came away really impressed. The group's musicianship, dynamics, and charisma shine in concert, and this DVD really does capture the unique chemistry of this long running, award winning, often misunderstood group. The sound mix is great. Ian Anderson excels on flute, guitar and vocals, and longtime stalwart Martin Barre turns in an impressive performance on the electric guitar. Tull veterans Doane Perry and Andrew Giddings are superb on drums and keyboards (respectively), adding a wide range of textures and tone colors to the often complex arrangements. "Newcomer" Jonathan Noyce (on bass for the past seven years) shows what a find he really is. The short interview segments leave this viewer wanting more, and the "novelty" segments involving a string quartet and the reunion of the original Tull lineup (Anderson with Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick and Clive Bunker) add just enough variety without detracting from the flow of the main concert footage. Even the brief "special effects" shots are amusing - I don't understand why so many people object to them as (a) they feature in only two songs, and (b) so many other, lesser groups make far more excessive use of even cheesier special effects shots in their videos. This DVD is a treat for long time Tull fans and ideal for introducing novices to a band about which they might have the wrong impression. Check it out.

Summary: What kind of fans are you?
Review: I can't believe people are giving this DVD one star simply because of a few goofy special effects and some interviews that briefly interrupt the music. What kind of fans are you, anyway? I mean, this is a band that has a guy dressed in a rabbit costume prance about on the stage - and you're condemning a few brief special effects? Tull has always done goofy stuff, some of it effective, some not. But why trash the whole DVD over a few special effects you didn't care for? In the Slipstream video, Ian runs around dressed as Dracula, for Pete's sake. If you were a true fan, you'd know Tull has always had a penchant for odd visuals and little throwaway skits, etc. That's all these special effects are, just little visuals to enhance the music. It's fine if you don't like them, but to say the DVD is therefore worthless is ridiculous. For the record, the DVD is great. Great music, great interviews, etc. I guess the "pseudo-fans" just didn't get it.

Summary: Take Heed! It IS visually annoying
Review: I think Jethro Tull fans are a bit more sophisticated and deserve a little more respect than this DVD offers. I couldn't watch this without think "Ok when's the next silly special effect coming or are they going to switch to that cheesy outdoor concert....". You can't listen to it because of all interviews between the songs. It's very annoying. Why did they even attempt to but in the Brittney Spears-like effects in the first place? It's a concert, let them play. The thing that surprises me is that all the interviews and non-concert songs could have been put on at the end as extra bits, it's a DVD for crying out loud, that's what you do! The music is WONDERFUL but seriously I can't say if I'll every 'watch' my copy again.
