"Bursting out" was JETHRO TULL's first live album which was both recorded and released in 1978 in several European cities while the Heavy horses tour (interestingly there are no songs from the "Heavy horses" album in this record. The album features songs from the "Aqualung", "Thick as a brick", "Minstrel in the gallery", "Too old to rock and roll" and "Songs from the wood" albums but frankly, the performances have almost any interesting change from the studio versions.

When I wrote my review about PINK FLOYD's "Is there anybody out there?" I explained that I rarely enjoy live albums since most of the time I found them very little original when they play the songs almost exactly as the studio versions and this album is not an exception: further than the heavy guitar riff in "Sweet dreams" there is not too much improvisation and jamming in this album. I'd rather listen to the studio albums before this one.

Not a bad album though, just nothing original in it.
