Bursting Out

"Bursting Out", Jethro Tull’s live album, was recorded at various locations during the European "Heavy Horses" tour in May and June 1978. Now, the album will be reissued in an expanded 3 CD and 3 DVD set, remixed by the legendary Steven Wilson with an array of extras.

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson says, "A live extravaganza from the 70's Jethro Tull, this was recorded over several nights in different venues on a portable 8 track tape recorder and transferred to 2” multitrack when I got home after the tours. I had to listen all through to many shows and pick the best live versions. But much of it was, at least, from the concert in Bern, Switzerland where dear Claude Nobs came to introduce the band in his inimitable style. Also featuring on this box set collection is the live concert from Madison Square Gardens recorded a few months later and shown live on BBC in the UK. A scary experience for the band as it was, we were told, the first time a live rock concert had been the subject of a live satellite broadcast."
