TULL TICKER ARCHIVE

Living With The Past (DVD)
Jethro Tull's very first DVD offers up a full concert performance with Tull in top form, as well as Ian with a string quartet, and a few sets with all 4 original band members. The songs are broken up by great little interviews with current members. 

Tullworld.com Review

LWTP DVD - Tull have released a few previous ''Video' productions during their 34 or so years of existence thus far. It's a sure fact that their newest release does a fine job of showing off how far technology has come since productions like their "20 Years of Tull" video in 1988. But what is the world without nostalgia? Yes, their are still some out-dated effects on this DVD that just feel out of place. Most notably the clips that are woven into Jack in the Green and Roots to Branches.

But really, this is nit-picking... Tull have put together a great DVD on the whole. With some of the best fidelity you can experience, courtesy of great recording equipment, and the DVD format, this offering gives fans a true concert in a box. But there's more than just a straight out 1 1/2 hour concert this disc. Most of he tracks are separated by some absolutely great little mini-interviews with each of the band members, as well as a few fan interviews sprinkled here and there.

In addition to the concert footage -- mostly filmed at London's Hammersmith Apollo -- you will find 2 live recordings of Tull's most popular acoustic works, filmed with a string quartet at Ian's home. The string players have hack at "Wond'ring Aloud" and "Life's a Long Song", and they really do pull it off pretty well. And if that wasn't enough quartets for you... the original Tull quartet was also reunited to play a few tunes. The reunion is set in a pub, with an audience of Tull fans trying their best to play the part of the drab and unresponsive 1968 gig watcher (Prior to Tull's success). It's really fun stuff to watch, and don't kid yourself either... these guys still have their chops. They run through "Someday The Sun Won't Shine For You", "Song For Jeffrey" and "My Sunday Feeling" with authority!
