Exactly how I handled it.

 

[Ranasakawa]

I rarely buy expensive box sets (due to lack of disposable income) and in the past these brilliant Jethro Tull boxes have been very reasonable. Unfortunately it is not the case on this occasion. JB HiFi who have stocked these Tull boxes in the past don't seem to be selling it this time. To get one from overseas will cost me over AU$150. Has anyone in Australia got a better option?

Thanks Martin
I gave ImportCDs a shot. Amazon is a joke

A clue, please?

 

[JohnN]

A clue, please?

This early? I don't feel that would be fair to the person who created it or the person who discovered it.

DVD 2

All of those DVDs could have been on one blu-ray disc. And outtakes are outtakes for a reason. But of course I ordered it anyway.

For those keeping score, a few sets were delivered in Canada (Amazon). Of course this should not have happened. The Canadians contacted me about the Easter Egg. I did not find it and needed instructions to find it. Warner forgot to tell me. (I am an innocent man)

Jethro Tull – The Broadsword and the Beast: The Monster Edition

Performing Jack-in-the-Green, Wiesbaden, 4th September 1982

It was a period in which Martin Barre’s playing went through incremental increases in terms of musical proficiency, his expression and the degree to which he was articulate as a musician. His best work is the period that evolved through the eighties into the nineties. I don’t think you can get any better examples of Martin’s playing live than on some of the concert recordings that were done in that era. Listening to them is a great reminder of how good Martin was on stage every night. Ian Anderson
Also of note is Scottish keyboard whiz Peter-John Vettese whose impressive ear and musical savvy brought a new angle to Tull’s music of this period (and would become even more dominant on Walk Into Light and the follow-up Tull album Under Wraps). Vettese, though not as outwardly interesting as his inimitable predecessors had been, was nonetheless something of a character both on and off stage, and his period synths lent Tull’s music a different energy, with sometimes darker tones that blended well with Anderson’s compositions. An immensely important member during this time, Vettese – the man and the musician – is well spoken of by all parties involved; bandmates, crew, and producer Paul Samwell-Smith.
