CD Reviews

Combine with "Bursting Out..."

"Jethro Tull's releases of concert performances are few when compared with the total volume of the band's product availability. However, due to the quality recording efforts of the Maison-Rouge Mobile Recording Studio, "Living With The Past" is a CD worthy of any music library. Just buy the studio versions of these tracks first. Then, savor the extended versions containing musicianship of astonishing quality."
A collection of songs from his entire career

"Ian Anderson has always been the leader of Jethro Tull.

He has also done some recent solo albums.

Put them together and you get Living with the Past.

The highlights include, In the Grip of stronger Stuff, from his Divinites solo CD.

Wondering aloud and Life is a long Song with a small violin section is very effective.

You also get the Zurich dressing room tapes, just that alone is worth the price of the CD.

He does a great live version of Cheap Day Return and Mother Goose on his acoustic guitar, slightly different from the original.

The rest of the CD has very average recording of hit songs like Aqualung and Locomotive Breath.

It includes a live performance of Dot Com, and a very short but sweet version of Cheerio whic he uses to end his concerts.

Not his best CD but well worth the price"

"I've been a fan of the Tull for many years, I bought Benefit as a new release, and I've crankily responded to some of their output before coming to admire (and less often condoning) it. I've an affection for their live stuff as well although, again, I can crankily wonder if I haven't been stiffed once or twice. But not here, with this one. Everything is balanced and beautifully contrasted, style, vocals, Ianisms, and all. It seems - maybe the intention - a wistful recollection of the power that was Tull; like recalling the glory days, and maybe feeling the double-edgedness of past greatness, coming to terms with it and the marker that won't be reached again. Just magic!"
