Jethro Tull comprised of Ian Anderson (flute), Martin Barre (electric guitar), Dave Pegg (base guitar), Peter John Vettese (keyboards) and Gerry Conway (drums) performing 'Seal Driver' and 'Songs from the Wood' during their Broadsword tour in 1982. The venue is most likely the Regia di Sergio Spino. (more)
The version of Seal Driver is even proggier, the studio version is a bit harder. The moog and soft gutar makes it spacier. The version of Songs from the wood is also amazing.

I love "Songs from the wood" ...but what makes me really angry is the fact that the a capella part except for Ian's voice is a playback and the other band members are pretending that they sing...that sucks! They should have had the courage to sing the a capella live although it's a hard one...or play the other voices with their instruments or a vocal effect... I can not ignore that and enjoy the performance...it's poor...

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.

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.

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.
