While the world may not need another live Jethro Tull disc recorded
only two years after their last one, this sturdy, nearly two-hour 2003
gig, released simultaneously on DVD and CD (same tunes and order, but
Ian Anderson's often clunky introductions are mercifully edited out of
the audio-only version), finds the band in fine form. Anderson and
guitarist Martin Barre, the two flagship members, effectively juggle
the set to include a few new tracks and some rarities with the handful
of hits ("Aqualung," "Locomotive Breath," "My God," "Living in the
Past") that the fans demand out of every gig. The double disc is
broken down by the band's two sets, the first being primarily
acoustic-based, or at least softer material, and the second revving up
the electricity and intensity. The other three members (bass, drums,
and keys) are accomplished musicians who play with precision if maybe
a shortage of personality. But it's really Anderson's and to a lesser
extent Barre's show, and they jubilantly lead the ensemble through the
blues, prog, jazz, and classical influences that have always
distinguished Tull from their contemporaries. Highlights include an
acoustic "Fat Man" with Barre playing flute along with Anderson, a
stunning 11-minute "Budapest" from Crest of a Knave, and the exotic
Middle Eastern worldbeat of "Dot Com." The sound is perfectly recorded
and Anderson is in good spirits as he dips deep into the Tull catalog
to dust off oldies such as "Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You"
(from the group's 1968 debut), Stand Up's "Nothing Is Easy," and
Benefit's "With You There to Help Me." The band injects a twist into
the hoary "Locomotive Breath" as it veers off into old British folk
territory in its final two minutes, and even "God Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen" (from The Jethro Tull Christmas Album) gets a new lease on
life, albeit in a slightly cheesy jazz-classical arrangement
reminiscent of "BourΘe." Still, this is an impressive document of a
band embracing its past while pushing into fresh territory nearly four
decades into its existence. Maintaining the old fan base while doing
this is a tricky balancing act, but one that Anderson and Barre
perform with grace and class.
