Free Music Review: At Last, Tull Gets It Right!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was hesitant to buy this one: Jethro Tull has released more than a couple of DVD concerts...which ended up being truncated shows interspersed with interview footage, grainy Black & White segments ( I have NEVER understood that appeal, MTV ), etc. Up to this point, never an unedited, unadorned concert. Live at Motreaux changes that. It's a wonderful show, apparently complete. All the members are energetic, performing a great balance of classic Tull as well as new gems ( Martin Barre's acoustic segment is almost worth the price of admission alone! ). Ian Anderson is in good form; his usual witty self ( can we say frustrated comedian? ). His flute solo is phenomenal...indeed, if any member of this group should feel slighted, it would be Doane Perry, whose presumed drum solo is conspicuously absent ( maybe the price he pays as the lone American ). It's wonderful to finally experience Jethro Tull without interruptions between songs. The only number that is painful for me in this set is Aqualung...no matter how much they drop the key, Ian is really struggling to hit those notes. Otherwise, he sounds better than he has in years. And the drums finally have some punch to them! This one is a keeper, folks. The only thing that will trump this set...are you reading, Ian?...will be the release of the 1977/78 BBC and Madison Square Garden shows. Sigh...Hope Springs Eternal!Free Music Review: A Well Rounded Live Set

Jethro Tull have been around for nearly forty years and are hard to pigeonhole, which means almost by definition that they will be much loved by some and unfathomable to others. Who else but Ian Anderson would front a rock band by playing the flute?
This concert contains material from throughout the band's career. Almost perversely (considering Ian Anderson's reputation as flute player) he chooses to open the show with the bluesy "Someday The Sun Won't Shine For You," on which he plays the harmonica. He gets to do much excellent flauting through the remainder of the show, as well as turns on acoustic guitar and mandolin. The entire band sounds at the top of their form and the concert is very well recorded, although the keyboards are a little low in the mix on one or two tracks, but it is not enough to detract from the quality of the recording overall.
There's something for every kind of Tull fan here: gentle melodic numbers, hard driving rock anthems and several tracks that mix these approaches along with a number of additional musical styles together in a coherent package.
Also worthy of note are Ian Anderson's witty and informative liner notes. A very worthy addition to the range of live Tull CDs.

I always liked Tull but this live CD made me like them more. First watched the concert on the 101 Network. Was in my car changer for three months which is unheard of for me. On my IPOD and gets a lot of play time. A well recorded live CD.Free Music Review: Excellent!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Even though many of this songs ca be found in previous CDs/DVDs by Tull, the performance is quite excellent, and the sound quality is superb. A great night at Montreux, with a band that always finds a way to surprise me.

One of the earlier reviews stated that there was nothing new here. I beg to differ.
This CD.DVD shows Tull at all stages of their career. This is probably the best live CD of Jethro Tull.
Yes you hear the tired version of Agualung, Locomotive Breath. Bouree.
But you also hear Hunting Girl, Budapest and others.
Empty Cafe appears here and so does New Jig which cannot be found anywhere else on a CD but here.........This is for hardcore Tull collectors like
