Summary: This DVD Leaves Me With Just A Tempting Taste...
Review: After reading all the reviews of the DVD I still bought it because there was really no other choice. But putting it all into perspective I have to agree with most of the reviews except that I was left "not satisfied". Why you ask...because there is never a complete performance! What was the producer thinking? Why cut off the second half of every concert performance just to here the bands comments about the reunion? Couldn't the producer find a way to put the commentary AFTER the performance? Great "glimpses" of Tull, but any real fan or anyone else for that matter will feel unsatisfied at the end. I just want to lay back and see Tull in a complete concert perforance!

Summary: DTS AMISS
Review: I agree with one reviewer,too many songs broken with interviews..
And why the hell not in 5.1 or DTS format?? A big miss there

Summary: It's ok but nothing to get excited over
Review: I agree with other reviewers ; this DVD gives tantalizing glimpses of Tull but overall is barely satisfactory. The lack of material available limits the scope of this release; the interviews are as expected all very politic. Some come out appearing better than others. The video clips are mostly promos or tv mimes which are interesting to see once but not again. The glimpses of live stuff is far more interesting but are very limited in number.One for the completist only

Summary: Living in the past (and enjoying it...)
Review: I have recently purchased the DVD after not listening to Tull for few years, so this definitely was a catalyst to re-enjoy this great group. To add even more spice, I have seen them live in the Caesaria Amphitheater a couple of months after buying the DVD and man - they (Anderson and Barre) did not lose their touch.
The selection of music in the DVD is good but limited only to those tracks they played in various TV shows over the years before the MTV era. Since you don't expect a 5.1 sound mix you're not disappointed; However the editing could have been better; This DVD tries to be both a documentary and a collection of full tracks but at the end of the day it's neither.
Still - the mix of tracks is good enogh to urge you to take out their great albums such as Aqualung, Songs from the Wood, Thick as a Brick etc. and enjoy their great music.

Summary: Buyer beware
Review: I was astonished when the credits began to roll just forty-five minutes into this engaging documentary. What follows to make up the ninety minutes that the package advertises is extended footage of live performance and promotional video from which only segments had appeared in the main. It's all great stuff-- "The Story of the Hare Who Lost its Spectacles" and the promotional video for "Kissing Willie" are alone worth the price. But the "20 Years of Jethro Tull" video is superior and will hopefully be re-released in DVD format.

Summary: You can never have too much Tull
Review: It's worth buying this one for the "Kissing Willie" video alone! I love Ian's bawdy sense of humor. His onstage antics and crazy facial expressions are hillarious to watch. And he looks good in tights!
As a relatively new Tull fan, it was nice to see and hear interviews with Tull members of the past. Now it's easier to keep names and faces straight.
"The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles" is much more enjoyable as a film than simply hearing it on the CD.
The various performances and videos on the DVD provide a taste of Tull in all its various incarnations. I wish it could have been longer. Give me more!

Summary: Could've been more
Review: Just as I managed to find a new copy of the video on VHS a couple of yeqars before, '25th Anniversary' comes out on DVD. For the most part, it was worth the upgrade. Great sound, great picture and great music. It's great seeing a lot of the former members together and interviewed especially Mick Abrahams, Clive Bunker, Barriemore Barlow and John Evan. However it would've been nice to get a few words from Jeffrey Hammond (who is in the video but isn't interviewed) and also get the 70's band members' thoughts on the late John Glascock (R.I.P). Instead we have John and Peggy talking about Eddie Jobson's brief tenure in the band, which was funny but I would've rather have heard about Glascock since he was part of a more important period of Tull. The videos here are fantastic, but my complaint is why couldn't they have ALL the videos available to be seen alone without the voice-over commentary? I would've loved to see the complete performance of "Nothing Is Easy" from Isle of Wight 1970 and "Minstrel In the Gallery" live in Paris 1975 (the latter would've been great being that there's barely any footage of the mid-70's Tull so it would've been a treat to see concert footage of their over-the-top theatrics). Plus, adding another performance of Tull lip-synching "Witches Promise" as a hidden extra is kind of redundant. Despite the complaints (as you would expect from any hardcore Tull fan), this is still a good video worth buying. Happy 35th anniversary Tull!
