Jethro Tull - Seal Driver and Songs from the Wood live 1982

I love the solo in Seal Driver

Birdnz Tull were first M8 BenR thanks for the vids they're great as a Fan from the beginning of Prog rock I Love this stuff

The venue is Pianeta 7Up, 2 may 1982, Rome, Italy

LOVE this song, even if the intro sounds ALLOT like the mechanic orange

Actually "regio di" means "directed by", so the video has been directed by a guy named Sergio Spino. ;-)

Ian's voice is really struggling here... still a good performance, though.

Do you think so? Of course, a couple of years after this, Ian did damage his voice and has never completely recovered it, but to me it sounds fine here, particularly on Seal Driver.

Listen to other performances from this year... his voice is thin and nasally compared to the studio recordings and compared to the "A" tour just a year before.

I admit I haven't listened to 'Broadsword' for quite a while now, but to me this doesn't sound significantly different from the record - it is in quite a high register for Ian, and I think there was a change in the timbre of Ian's voice between 'A' and 'Broadsword'. I've been to a lot of Tull gigs over the years, and up to the Under Wraps tour, Ian's voice was great. Sadly, we all know what happened then... But it's improved in recent years and Ian is careful to look after it now. Happy xmas.

One of the best songs in the world!!!
