Jethro Tull – In Concert (1991) (@256)
28 Sep 2009
(Review from progarchives.com)
Rather than “little light music”, in this album we are treated with a more rocking live experience, from the “Catfish Rising” tour.
The opener seems to be “Minstel in the Gallery” at first, but only for 25 seconds (much like a radio spot) then transitions into a harder rocking “Crossed-Eyed Mary”. “Heavy Horses” is a highlight, its acoustic passages are very well rendered, the vocal part being on par. As the song develops the band plays harder and harder without denaturalizing the song. “Still Loving You Tonight” from their then-latest album is a great song with a very strong guitar play from Martin. Slow-paced, just to cool down, very emotional solo.
A concert staple, “Thick as a Brick”, a bit too short for its fans is not forgotten. The band returns to its bluesy roots with “A New Day Yesterday” followed with a “Blues Jam”. A rocking “Jump Start” from the “Crest of a Knave” concludes this live affair.
Line-up:
- Ian Anderson / flute, acoustic guitar, vocals mandolin, harmonica
- Martin Barre / electric guitar
- Doane Perry / drums
- Martin Allcock / keyboards
- Dave Pegg / bass
Track List:
01. Minstrel In The Gallery / Crossed-Eye Mary – 4:08
02. This Is Not Love – 5:04
03. Rocks On The Road – 6:41
04. Heavy Horses – 9:19

(Review from wikipedia, progarchives.com, metaleater.com) The band’s first live album was recorded in Tampere, Finland on the 29th of December 2000, during the Wishmaster tour.

Matching Mole – March (Live 1972) (@256)
about 3 years ago - 4 comments
(Review from bbc.co.uk, progarchives.com) By the time this album was recorded (March 1972, a month after Sinclair’s departure) the band were playing continuous sets with much room for collective improvisation amid the more arranged pieces. “March” captures both the uncertainties and glories of this method beautifully. The material is drawn mainly from their eponymous first…
