4 stars Thanks to spotify this album is avalaible to those who don't have a DVD-player, or don't want to have one. This album is streamable in its entirety, and I must say it's a very explosive show (recorded during their US-tour).

The line-up is very tight and plays a lot of latter day material fro Heavy Horses, Too Old and Heavy Horses. Very different than Bursting Out (wich was recorded on their European tour). Also John Glascock was already very ill and was replaced on this show (and tour) by Tony Williams. I can't hear any difference.

The production is very good (maybe because it's remastered in 2009). All the instruments are mixed very well and the sound never getts muddled, althought the bandmembers seam very busy all the time (especially the two keyboardists and the drummer).

A must-listen for Tull-fans in general and specifically for fans of the folkrock-days of the band.

Kingsnake | 4/5 |
