- Unboxing of Jethro Tull's The Broadsword And The Beast 40th Anniversary Monster Edition Boxset. This is the 14th anniversary deluxe boxset in their album series. These boxset reissues are amazing as you'll see.
The Broadsword outtakes alone would probably make my top ten albums list from 1982.
Yea - it's amazing what was left off - incredible. I feel the same about the 2nd disc of Nightcap - one of my all time favorite Tull albums - how did that stuff get left off. Amazing how great they are. Thanks.
Thanks, Alan, for another enjoyable unboxing video. For big fans of “The Broadsword and the Beast,” this Rolls-Royce of boxsets has got to be the ultimate treasure trove of audio and visual delights. For all that it contains, your boxset is a good deal at the price you paid. Happy listening and reading!
Thanks. Yea sounds great so far. Good live show too. Gonna take a long time to read. Lol.
There was a time that Broadsword was one of my favorites of all time. Tull is totally my gateway to the world of Prog and I will forever love them. If only Ian and Martin could patch things up!
It would be nice, but you know it's never going to happen - they've gone their separate ways and I'm very happy to see that Martin has build a wonderful new successful career. I've only seen him once live, this year actually, and it was fabulous. Thanks.
Excellent video, as always. "Clasp" is one of my favorite Tull songs.
thanks so much as always too - Really loving the Tull boxset - amazing how great the stuff is that didn't make the album - love Clasp as well.
Great video. The box sets that Jethro Tull puts out are like no other. Simply the best. The associated recordings from Broadsword are awesome as well. In fact, could've been another whole album. "Inverness Sleeper" and "Drive On The Young Side Of Life" are outstanding songs. Thanks again, Alan for the fantastic Tull videos.
Thanks so much for watching and enjoying them. I really appreciate it. I am of course in total agreement with you on their box set series. And I'm so happy they're reissuing them so more fans can enjoy them at great prices.
I saw Tull one time for the A tour at MSG in 1980. One of the first concerts I ever went to.
Definitely an interesting tour (with the white jump suits) and a new Tull lineup. I didn't see that tour in person, but have many live recordings - great stuff. Hope (and I'm sure you did) you really enjoyed it.
Nobody does these anniversary/reissue packages better. The book format, the print quality, design, music, pictures etc, etc. I'm not a big Tull fan but have several of these just for the design/package of them.
Great that you have these even though your not a huge Tull fan. Nice to get an unbiased opinion. I totally agree - best reissue boxsets - and in general - unbelievable value for the money as compared to others too. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the great video Alan! I have this set and taking the discs out was such a pain for me, I decided to put them in sleeves and just leave out of the box. Great album, one of my favorites. Amazing how many excellent songs associated with these sessions.
Yes - I watched a video on how to take the discs out...lol but your idea is great - I'll probably do the same. I'm loving it by the way. Listening to the live show now, which thankfully is a bit different than the bootleg 2cd set I already owned - so that's a great bonus. Sounds awesome. It is amazing the amount of unreleased tracks / versions and demos - loving it. Ian was really on a roll. thanks so much - I really appreciate your support and comment and watching.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Totally agree, Alan! Yes, the live show is great, really enjoy that. Such a wonderful set. Thanks I appreciate your videos!
@@stevenbruno2752 thanks again Steven.
Hi Alan - I got that a while ago, not cheap but great value and great music. Its a great series of box set releases - love Tull. I guess my favourite period was the first 6 albums. That said Broadsword is one of my favourite Tull albums. Brilliant. Cya
Thanks so much - I'm loving the box - about to hit the 5.1 surround mixes.
You've pretty much covered it all Alan.No filler here.Well worth the money
Yea Tom - as you know, I held off, but couldn't hold off any longer. Can't wait to start listening, which I will start tomorrow. Thanks for your input previously. I always really liked this album. And I know how much you loved it too. This box really is loaded - wow. I'm thinking though that the two live discs are my bootleg - we'll see - the boot is a mixture of different German live shows and so is the box - was a Superstars In Concert back in the day. We'll see - if it's the same, will probably sound better anyway.
Next to the Stones there's Tull you won't be dissapointed my friend enjoy.I just got a new surround sound receiver so tomorrow I'll be playing Stones and Tull lol@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
NICE Tom - that's gonna be fantastic. I enjoy the 5.1 and surround mixes a lot. Stereo still my primary go to of course - but a great surround mix - well gonna be great. Enjoy - I know you will. @@tomwery1899
I love Jethro Tull but don’t own any of the special editions. But Ian does them right. They are some of the best special edition box sets I have seen anyone release.
They sure are. Everything about them is top notch - As I type this I'm listening to the Broadsword box - absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
That looks exquisite, very nice unboxing. I have a soft spot for Broadsword as I saw them on that tour in '82. I remember for Watching Me, Watching You Ian came out in a white (doctor's) coast with strobe lights, it was quite startling. I too love Pussy Willow.
Lucky you. I first got into Tull in 1977. I really loved them instantly But didn’t become a Tull fanatic Until much later. So unfortunately, I missed those classic early tours. I have serious regrets about it ever since
Hiya Alan. Glad to see you got Broadsword. I must say, when you turned around and showed us the amazon shipment I thought «seriously?!?» Nah, he must’ve allready taken that thing out of a bigger envelope! As you said, it’s expensive and not exactly a brick now is it. Jeesh…
I loved this record, and the amount of extras was mindblowing for the price. Wish the Stones could’ve hired those people to do their re-issues/box sets.
Amazing that's how they shipped it out - just that. Incredible, but locally it survived the shipping well. Yep - the Tull boxes are the model on how it should be done in my opinion.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow is there an AI at Amazon who just asumes it’s a Barbera Cartland pocketbook? 😄
lol @@MortenAastad
Amazing video, thanks! Definitely made me more excited for when my copy comes. Broadsword is my favourite album (alongside Passion Play) so I've been looking forward to it.
The associated recordings for Broadsword are seriously amazing. DJ Dream is probably my third favourite tull song.
Thanks so much. You’re gonna love it. And the live show is amazing especially in the surround sound. Excited for you too. Enjoy. I know you will.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Thanks! Cant wait to hear the live versions for sure. Tull have always been one of those bands you can't miss live. A bit disappointed they don't include video like I originally thought, but hey what can you do 🤷♂️ I myself haven't caught them live... I would have loved to see the Broadsword tours, with the Viking ship stages.
I wish I saw that tour too - how did I miss it back then...damn. I wish they included video, but there is video available on some of the official Tull videos out there. Also great stuff. Anyway, you're gonna love this box, especially since it's your favorite Tull album. It certainly has grown in stature for me as well. Thanks again.@@johnjoestar4366
Enjoyable review, Alan!
Thanks so much
Very interesting, Alan. I agree with your assessment of the album. Not up with Aqualung, Heavy Horses etc, but a really good album nevertheless. It's an album I play a lot. 40 years! Where did the time go? David Butterworth
Hi 👋 Alan I Just watch your show I nice your review on Jethro Tull music I heard his music on radio and I seen him on TV. I also like your rolling stones socks and I like your all your t-shirt's . well have a good week ahead Terry M.
ahead sir,
Thanks so much Terry - I really appreciate you watching my channel and your support. Have a fantastic day.
Wait a minute.....you know I like when stuff falls😂 so what fell out of the box set, Alan?? Tull really do some of the best box sets. Need I remind you that we got a bumper sticker with Hackney Diamonds. No Till bumper sticker 🤣😂 PS I think you just like saying pussy willow😅
@@davidkunzli680 was just a protective card that fell out of the box. Oh I love everything about Pussy Willow. Lol.
Great buy. I brought it for £66 UK pounds when it came out. Some on eBay now go for 200-300 rip off. Like you I'm 70s are the best. This year I got Ian to sign my copy of passion play on vinyl. Ian said of broadsword it lost some American fans. Super box sets I tend not to play too much. Thanx.
Crazy price considering that its still avaiiable on Amazon for less than $60 right now. The others though that are out of print go for a ton it seems. Cool that you hang with Ian. In so many ways, just seems like a regular guy, which I love - I respect he never plays the game. But like many powerful "regular" guys, seems like can be a bit prickly at times.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow member of fan club. Don't hang around lol. Yes he doesn't talk rock music. He hates heavy metal motorhead etc which he takes the piss out of me for lol. Fan club is great full of old men very few women or young people. He will pass a few minutes no more. He's quite posh or snobby as we say in England.
Oh wow - probably best that I know personally my favorite rock stars. @@markhughes5444
Hi Alan,
I think you had the same idea as me, wait to see if it drops in price, this one isn't budging so pulled the trigger last week too. The price is definitely double the cost of previous boxes, but can anybody risk misding out?
In the UK it was a reasonable big seller on release, and great tour. Unfortunately Newcastle City Hall was too small a venue for the ship. It would have been great to have seen some video content of the ship, true.
Please see UA-cam or Steve Hoffman Broadsword thread on how to remove the first disc. There are lots of broken plastic springs and frustrated fans out there. 😢
Yea - went down a little - I got for $58 and there right now as well. So I pulled the trigger - risk missing it out, which I've done on some other madfish boxes that never really dropped. Still waiting for a big Who's Next / Lifehouse drop but doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Thanks for the tip - definitely don't want to break those springs.
Their first box set sets the standard for other box sets.
Are you talking about the 20 Years Of Jethro Tull Box. Yea - to this day one of my favorite boxsets of all time. In fact one of the few boxsets ever to finish in the top 3 of the year for me. Tremendous box and still my favorite Tull boxset
Yes there are outtakes but if these tracks sucked too hard to be included on the so so original album, what makes them so great 40 years later??
Many big fans love bootleg as an example. The official released stuff is not enough. It’s fascinating to hear what didn’t make it. And alternate takes etc. we were ahead of the curve because eventually the artists caught on and now we get box sets, bootleg series etc. and often there’s incredibly great stuff that didn’t make the cut for some reason. Springsteens tracks box is all unreleased stuff and most artists would kill for songs that good. But hey stick to just the original albums. That’s fine. I and many others enjoy more than that.
I love Tull but this is a so so Tull single album & I don't buy these endless boxsets of single albums even for the GREAT single albums because thats a cash grab for suckers to keep buying the same albums over and over and over
I respect you’re not into them. That’s fine. But cash grab nah. The still boxes especially are a bargain for what they give you. And it’s a treasure trove of music and information for fans who want to go deep and get tons of unreleased material and live music. But that’s what makes the world go round.
Shows that you have absolutely no clue what's going on with these boxes. They're the exact opposite of cash grabs
Estoy d acuerdo contigo..Me gustan los TULL, hasta el ' Too old to rock' n' rollo. El A, este Broadsword....me parecen Horribles...Ni se me ocurre comprar esta época d JETHRO TULL, y menos en CD. No disfruto la música en CD. Greetings from Spain.,@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
Well I'm sorry you don't like later day Tull but I think Broadsword is a terrific album and the unreleased tracks on the box are also terrific. As for you not liking CD's - I guess that's fine for you as well. I'm purely a physical media person. I buy physical product, both vinyl and CD's. For me nothing is better than CD's. @@jorgevillanuevaarocena2697
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Alan, lo que he escrito no es por ti...Es lo que pienso, pero respeto mucho tu canal, y no quería, ni quiero molestarte...al contrario, no es x ti, a Ian Anderson, al que admiro mucho..le diría que A y The Broadsword...' son horribles, para mí gusto...comparándolos Con Stand Up o Minstrel in the gallery...Disculpame, no quiero molestar a nadie..Saludos desde España.
Amazon is terrible with how they mail stuff. Stuff is always damaged. You know how I love when stuff falls😂 so what fell out of the box set?? Tull do put out great boxes but they don't have a bumper sticker in this one like Hackney Diamonds does😂 PS I think you just like saying pussy willow😂
They really are the worst shippers. I was lucky the Tull box arrived fine. Literally like no packing at all.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Earth to Alan......so what fell out of the box?
@@davidkunzli680 told you was just a blank card protector. Between the cover and the first three CDs. So doesn’t scratch the first page. Actually a nice touch. But it’s blank
