@dictionar1 btw, that was me in the short hair, see me? (military) LOL

[TULLYNOL]

Thanks....

Great to see this clip after all these years! I saw this tour in Pittsburgh PA (9/17/82 if I recall correctly), & made a decent audio tape, but it's great to see these videos from the Italy & Germany shows. It was also great to hear the snippet of "Black Sunday" from Ian's previous solo LP between Breath & Cheerio.

[Semente200]

The drumming is awful! Unbelievable

[rcnalland]

According to Ian, Gerry`s timing was computer-like. Listen to these songs again! There is also a live version of "Watching Me, Watching You". I think Barrie, Mark and Doane would have a hard time doing it properly.

[jackHNv]

Tull are my favourite band of all time, but to me they were never the same after Barlow and Hammond left. Listen to the other live version on here - there's no comparison!

Still better than any other band in the world though.

[grnmtnman54]

The audience seemes to enjoy this concert. Why bitch about it cause they might me having a bad night. Enjoy the vid.....even bad Tull is better than any of the bullshit that's out there today!

[jimistreets]

Seen THE Tull at least ten times and those are the most ten enjoyable concerts I have ever been to. The last time I saw them, I popped and caught the giant balloon all in one motion!! Still have it!!

[Tull1991]

Ian said in an interview once that live Gerry was either dead on or dead wrong. A good night was perfect and a bad night was terrible. This video is a perfect example: Minstrel, bad night, Loco/Black Sun./Cheerio, good night. In the Minstrel clip Ian seams to be having a pretty bad night too as far as performance goes. It's an awful arrangement of the song too. Best version is on Bursting Out.

[rcnalland]

Best Tull drummer ever? Mark Craney. Sadly he isn´t with us anymore.

[Aqualung1989]

craney is good, but i prefer barlow... and... im not sure about clive bunker... i'd say craney and him are equally matched :P

[jimistreets]

I always kinda put Clive Bunker in the same category as Mitch Mitchell. Not the most technically astute, but jazzy and amazingly exciting...

[derdings2112]

Hell Yeah. Mark Craney! Perfect Balance between technical skill and focus (something I often miss with Barlow)

[DrGalta]

Horrible drumming indeed!!!

Look how Ian seems to get pissed and waves at him to let loose a little.He's clearly out of his element and fits much better in Fairport.

[deadnightwarrior1976]

Always a pleasure to discover some old Tull footage, but let me say I desperately miss Barrie Barlow on this song... Conway is a good drummer, but nothing compared to Barlow's groove, power and technique...

[ieatdrums]

Is that Gary Conway drumming? He Frigging sucks! That's not the beat to Minsrel!! Sounds like a 7 year old drumming! I can't believe he EVER played with Jethro Tull. The guy should go join Survivor!

[Seidoshi]

The Minstrel in the Gallery looked down on the Rabbit run....and he threw away his looking glass....saw his face in everyone... thanks you Ian......love you and thanks for the memories

[mingeral]

Ian looks unwell. Ben this is not a great tibute to a wonderful group. Perhaps you should withdraw it.

[TheRealSlipperman]

Boy... did the 80's suck or WHAT?

Horrible version of a GREAT GREAT Tull classic.

Dreadful drumming and keyboard playing compared to ANY other era version.

Sadness.

[KingHellstrings]

Yup. This is absolutely weak at best. Doesn't help that Martin's sound is completely compressed, and Ian's voice is almost totally shot.

Sad.

[nikike91]

Yep, this is just sad

[Aqualung71]

This is not that bad, ease up a little bit. Just sounds different. Stop complaining.

[koppenol]

Great video !!

Thanks a lot Ben.

[koppenol]

Thanks Ben, a great video again !!

[Ash1955]

who is that in the still picture at the start? Not a Tull member I think!

Cool video Thanks man

[BenRossington]

The Tull member in the still pic at the start of the video clip is Peter John Vattese. Peter John Vattese was a member of Tull during the recording and touring of Broadsword and the Beast (1982) and Under Wraps (1984). He played piano and keyboards and contributed to the arrangements.

[Ash1955]

Thanks
