Free Music Notes for Live at the Isle of Wight 1970
Free Music Review: This is a keeper!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm ecstatic about this purchase - and that's a rarety for me. My usual experience with buying music is to read all the reviews, most of which are over-the-top balls-to-the-wall enthusiastic, and to be a little disappointed when I finally hear the product.
I was also reluctant to buy more Jethro Tull, inasmuch as I already own far more JT than any other band. I don't know why (they're not my absolute favourite band, though not far off), and the two DVDs and two live albums I already own hadn't been enough to inspire me to get yet another. I confess to actually being quite disappointed with my previous two JT DVDs (A New Day Yesterday and Living With the Past), but decided to get just one more.
It's rare (very rare) that I purchase new music and play it time after time, day after day. I'm prepared to say that after listening to Nothing to Say, I really didn't know JT at all. I certainly didn't consider them a 'live' band in the same vein as Allman Brothers or Led Zeppelin, but this live rendering was a revelation.
Ian Anderson is in fine voice, the music is rock at its best (every song), the solos and improvs are fantastic and the choice of songs sublime. JT was one of the first bands I ever got into 30 years ago as a 14-year old just discovering music. Three bands struck me at that time - Bob Dylan, Jethro Tull and George Harrison. Of the three, I've been a JT listener ever since, without a break. So for me to say this release makes me think I never really knew them, says something.
Most DVDs disappoint me in some respect - either the music is great but the performance is a bit lifeless, making me think I'd be better off listening to a CD, or the performance is off. This has just the right combination to suit me - electric performance by the entire band, and excellent instrumentation.
My only complaint on the DVD - and its why I primarily dislike the others too - is the interviews and interruptions between songs. Even though one can FF, they still grate.
Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 Poster
Just three years after their founding, Jethro Tull played the final day of the legendary Isle of Wight festival in 1970. With the crowd estimated at close to 600,000 people, the band was one of many impressive acts on this day, including The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Moody Blues, Free, and many more. The set mostly contains material from their first three albums, with the exception of "My God", which would appear several months later on their legendary "Aqualung" album.Jethro Tull has earned 11 gold and 5 platinum albums over the course of their 37-year history.
