I've mentioned these albums just for guessing on which live album e21 will review next. I never heard that one. Progarchives' rating is 3.43 for 115 votes, so I guess it's great.

@ Jethro

All those albums are surely great despite I'm not familiar about the live albums of Horslips and Traffic. However, I intend to maintain the mystery about my next review, if you don't mind. What I can tell you about those albums is that I intend to review them in the next years and that one of them will be reviewed, soon, very soon indeed, becuase its review is already ready.

About the live album of Focus is really good. I own the CD version and my old vinyl copy too. I gave to it a 4.0. It isn't a masterpiece or as good as it could be, but we can say that it's good or evena very good album. It has some of their best studio tracks. It deserves to be checked.

It's normal that you want to keep the secret, bro. Don't break the magic ;)

For Horslips or Traffic, I didn't think to a specific album...I was just trying to guess what live album you wanted to cover. And here I try again, but just don't tell me if I'm right; Wishbone Ash - Live Dates or one of these ''Live at the Isle of Wight'' (The Moody Blues for instance)...I'm too curious, you can tell me hahaha!

Nice to see this reviewed. Great live album, although not quite as great as some of their mid-late 70's live recordings.

The sound may be not well balanced (it was recorded in 1970), like the bass is too high in the mix or the rest is too low...? But the renditions are somehow better than the studio versions, just the same as Bursting Out. Ian is such a first class show man. But yes Bursting Out > this on many points, mainly for the production.

Yeah, I agree. This is are recordings from the beginning of the band in a huge live festival outdoor. And I agree too with your opinion about Ian. I've the DVD ane the show of the man is really a great show man.

Thanks, Jamie. They have better live live recordings indeed, like "Bursting Out". But this is a terrific live document from them and of the 70's.

Ian has a lot of charisma indeed. He's a good entertainer and it's great to see him performing and dancing with his flute, as if he was an exuberant chef d'orchestre. I had the chance to see Jethro Tull live while touring for the sake of touring (without releasing an album). It was in 2005 and 2007 I think. It was all of an experience!..

I wonder if my parents named me Ian after Jethro Tull?

@ Jethro

You're a lucky guy. I never had the chance of see him performing live as Jethro Tull or as a solo artist. I think my only rememberings, that I can remember, is see him perform live on the DVD of this concert and on the DVD of "Ian Anderson Plays The Orchestral Jethro Tull", also already reviewed by me, which both are great live performances indeed. But really live, I never had that opportunity.

@ wham

Yeah, you're right. We can have great material and other not so good. The problem was the quality of many of those recordings be not really great. The conditions of to capture those recordings were very hard indeed, in many cases. Many of them were bootlegs that became official bootlegs with the time. For instance those are the cases of some of the live albums of Camel.

@ Storm

Yeah, man. Probably was Jethro Tull, first. But that is almost irrelevant. Ian and Jethro Tull were always practically the same thing. The man was undoubtedly the undisputed lider of the band.

Thanks for your comment.
