I saw this Tull on this tour at Madison Square Garden. My first Tull show. Saw them another 20+ times over the years in several states and even in the UK and Germany. Thank you for the great memories.
This complete concert will be included on the 40th Anniversary edition of the Stormwatch album, completely remastered and mixed from the original mastertapes. I was at this particular gig, at The Hague Congresgebouw, which was recorded for broadcast on Dutch national radio.... back in the days that it was still possible to hear (really)good music from your radioset now and then! ;)
Appearantly the The Hague show was early 1980. Wish I had seen this one. In 1981 I went to Rotterdam and was apalled by the shift in course, the synths in everything.
And he's criminally underrated by the music establishment. Ian would be wise to welcome Martin back to the band. Seems when Martin left even Ian's songwriting has diminished since Martin was so versatile, Ian songwriting could do anything, such as this song illustrates.
Such sweet memories! Listening to this is causing my heart to race and gives me goosebumps everywhere as I relive how exciting this man and this band makes me feel. What fabulous music!
My first Tull Concert, age 17, in Philadelphia. So glad I got to see them with the original lineup. Also the only year they played those songs from Stormwatch.
Barlow was masterful!! The best Prog band to ever live! I missed this concert and I am still bummed. I saw around 10 or12 concerts and they were the best sounding and tightest band ever. I saw Passion Play and glad I did. I was gigging a lot myself in the 80s and early 90s, so I missed a few.
Tim Jackson So true. This really is an amazing bootleg for its high quality soundboard origins. If only we had unfettered access to other such treasures from the Tull tour recording archive. This show, in its totality, truly measures up to my hallowed memories of having seen the concert for myself, way back in '79. It's just so utterly excellent, and a fitting testament to this legendary band member line-up -- upon which Part Three will ultimately shed an even better spotlight... Thanks for watching and commenting!
I saw it at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. My first Tull concert was the War Child tour in Feb 1975 at Hershey Arena, Hershey, PA. Best concert I ever saw... and the includes PF "The Wall" at Nassau Collesium in 1981.
Me too !! Fantastic concert. My favorite of all time. Love UK too. We all left there talking about Terry Bozzio. Unbelievable ! Local FM radio station played Danger Money start to finish uninterrupted. I was like,.. man this band is awesome!!
I saw this tour!!! Phenominal!!!!! I believe it was the last time John Glascock & Barrie Barlow played together. I was young teen and will never forget that concert or Mr Barlow's drum solo. Wow!!
Wilde Beast You're so right, this was a truly incredible tour. As of 1979, I think the band (even with the recent loss of John Glascock, and the new addition of Dave Pegg) proved to be tighter and more brilliant than ever within a live context. As for myself, I was lucky enough to have seen Tull twice during the previous year (the "Heavy Horses" tour) -- the first time in Los Angeles playing along side a temporary replacement for Glascock, and the second time in San Diego featuring the very last appearance of Glascock, prior to leaving the group (for health reasons) and subsequently passing away. As for the "Stormwatch" album, I think there were three people credited with playing the bass guitar parts -- Glascock on a few tracks, Ian Anderson on other tracks, and Pegg on a further few tracks. Not 100% sure, but I think that's correct. When news of Glascock's death came to the band, they were reportedly pretty broken up over it, but still had to carry on with the tour, it seems. It's amazing that they were able to pull things together adequately in order to do what needed to be done. However, prior to the start of the 1979 concert that I attended in Long Beach, I very clearly recall seeing John Evan seated at the side of the stage, dutifully doing a pre-show check of his keyboards, while obviously in tears, perhaps related to Glasscock's demise. In any case, thanks so much for watching!
bogen broom Yes, I was lucky enough to have seen Tull twice during 1978's 'Heavy Horses' tour, once in L.A. (at the Forum), when Tony Williams (notorious for having stood upon Ian's traveling mic cord -- and thank you for remembering his name) was rather conspicuously substituting for John Glascock (...at the time, none of us knew the reason for his absence...), and later on, I saw them yet again at a similar venue in San Diego, when Glascock had temporarily returned during that latter leg of the tour. They were already playing an early version of 'Dark Ages', while he likewise put in a limited presence during recording sessions for their next album, throughout a mere handful of songs. But yeah, I recall quite vividly -- during the requisite band member intros -- Ian had made rather a big deal about how Glascock had rejoined them, following some time spent away from touring (which only ended up making it sound as though Glascock had been partying a little too much, with no clue given concerning the seriousness of his far more weighty problems). Anyway, that San Diego show was the very last time I ever saw him perform with the band. Later on, of course, I heard about how Ian had believed that John hadn't made a full recovery from his medical issues, that John's on-stage performances weren't up to the highest standards, and he was therefore encouraged to leave the band, presumably so that he might better look after the state of his health. The next year, by the time the 'Stormwatch' tour came to the Long Beach Arena (for a numerous nights stand in playing at that venue), Dave Pegg had clearly taken his place in the group as 'the new guy'. In those pre-internet days, I didn't even know about Glascock's death, not until The Motels dedicated one of their albums to him sometime thereafter (presumably because Brian Glascock was in their line-up). You're right though, it was some very sad news to have gone stumbling across, seemingly out-of-the-blue and so long after-the-fact like that.
@@wildebeast6065 I saw this tour in the UK, by when we were in 1980. It was Dave Pegg when I saw it - and 39 years on, I'll be seeing Peggy play live again next week with Fairport.
Saw this tour April 1979 - first JT show - Glascock played. Great energy. Martin Barre wailed. Only time I got to see them with the "classic" lineup. IA introduced Dark Ages as something on the next album. Great concert.
Ian was in such great voice here (he never really did receive the credit he should've as a vocalist). A real shame what subsequently happened to it in the mid-80's.
Down steep and narrow lanes I see the chimneys smoking Above the golden fields - know what the robin feels In his summer jamboree. All elements agree In sweet and stormy blend Midwife to winds that send me home.
I saw the 1979 Stormwatch tour. UK opened up for them (who i had not known much about yet). To my recollection, it wasnt Dark Ages they opened with, but Ian swashbuckled onto the stage, ripping into Something's On The Move. It was chilling, theatrical. Then at the end he cuts the ship riggings with a sword and maybe they went into North Sea Oil, I cant recall. . Stormwatch was a great album, and concept. I just wish there was FULL concert history of this great tour. I notice Martin Barre solo touring and I checked his set list. Meh, didnt make me want to see him.
music isillegal Thanks for sharing such wonderful memories. I love hearing about other people's Tull concert experiences, and if they took place during my own concert-going years, then it's all the more relatable. You're so right, the Stormwatch tour was memorable in so many ways, and was doubtless an example of the group playing as tightly and magnificently as they ever had (at least in the case of that classic line-up, which sadly wasn't long for this world by '79). As for my recollection, in Long Beach, California, the opening set list was pretty much as it is in this pair of SW uploads -- except they may have substituted "Flying Dutchman" in place of "Old Ghosts". And wow, Ian's swashbuckling across stage was a real sight to behold, even if he was required to wear those protective sun glasses all evening, due to the thorny-stemmed roses incident. Consequently, the show was opened with an announcement by some fellow, cautioning the audience in all seriousness: "PLEASE, DON'T THROW ANYTHING ONTO THE STAGE!". Also, while I was vastly grateful for the creation and release of the "Slipstream" video in '81, I do find myself wishing all these years later that they had similarly extensive footage of the SW tour, in all of its 'end of an era' splendor. So yes, I agree with you regarding that point as well. Anyway, I suppose the closest thing we have to that is the Lively Arts documentary, made during the latter part of the Heavy Horses tour, and during recording sessions for SW.
Somewhere there was a grainy video of Anderson doing the sword cutting rigging thing. I dont see it now though. And I have Never found one with Anderson doing his swashbuckling bit. Too bad.. And UK as opener Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Eddie Jobson, Alan Holdsworth. Ian asked Eddie to join Tull after that and he did for the A album.
I saw this concert too. I remember when he went to the side of the stage and started pulling the ropes and the ship's rigging went up and the stage almost looked like an 18th century war ship. Ian's always had a thing for stage theatrics. A Passion Play tour in 1973 had the short movie about the Hare Who Lost his Spectacles. The Under Wraps tour had everything on stage covered or wrapped up. Even Marin Barre was wrapped in paper and when the music started, he burst out of the paper and started wailing on his guitar. Pure genius. I still love Tull to this day..
Riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati, Ohio Did I actually see Ian toss his flute 20 ft in the air to have it, with head bowed, land in his hand? Or was it a "Columbian" trick of the light?
justgivemethetruth Thanks for watching... My original thought here -- prior to the eventual decision to go ahead and make this a three or four part project -- was to pay homage to Tull's so-called "Folk Rock" trilogy, at a time (last autumn) when the SFTW 40th anniversary was still a relevant issue. For me, this was the trigger for doing any of this in the first place, just as 2017 was poised to end. So, with that in mind, that's why I elected to begin this video with the Songs From The Wood / Heavy Horses / Bursting Out / Stormwatch visual summations.
justgivemethetruth Sorry. That's probably my fault, since I didn't mark it as being Part 4 in the upload's title heading (...likely because the soundboard recording was derived from a different Tull concert tour from that of the LIVE "Stormwatch" song sets -- me and my convoluted thinking...), but a link for all four parts is included in the liner notes for each subsequent part. Granted, my mistake, since I could've organized these things better. Regardless, I'm grateful for your comments and for your bothering to watch my humble little tribute projects... Part 4: ua-cam.com/video/pQx7m1TbXCQ/v-deo.html
justgivemethetruth Part 4 -- at least in accordance with my thinking at the time -- relates to the whole notion of a Folk Rock Trilogy tribute. Again, I obviously didn't convey that distinction clearly enough. So, once again, we'll file it under "my mistake". But yeah, last October / November, I was all caught up in a renewed enthusiasm over the SFTW anniversary, and the revelations over hearing newly unearthed SFTW material, which finally saw the light of day on the corresponding anniversary box set. So, I got the idea to pay tribute to those three Folk Rock releases by dusting off my bootleg copy of the complete "Stormwatch" concert from '79 (of which I still have very fond / very vivid memories), and offering specially selected highlights from it via my channel -- all the while thinking that I'd inevitably be able to feature live performances of songs from all three albums, by way of that bootleg live disc. Part 1 was rendered with an obvious minimalist approach, in terms of visuals. But near the end of that process, I knew that any subsequent parts would have to be a lot more ambitious with their accompanying visuals. Later on, once I got to the end of making Part 3, I realized that the only song performed from the "Heavy Horses" album during the '79 concert recording was the title track. Therefore, I opted to later offer up the "Weathercock / Fire At Midnight" medley clip instead, because it covered both the SFTW & HH albums all at once. Plus, "Weathercock" is one of my all-time favorite Tull songs, and live performances of it (during the classic era) could only be found during the "Broadsword" period, when Ian's voice was unquestionably still in excellent shape. Anyway, that's some of what I was thinking while I pieced together these uploads. Thanks again for watching, and for your very kind encouragement. -- Steve (Gothling1955)
BTW, the band was never the same after John Evans and Jeffery Hammond Hammond left (at separate times of course); but the last great JT production was Broad Sword and the Beast. Tull's concerts were never the same after that and "Under Wraps" was a God awful mess. I saw them well over 100 times from PA to CA.
I saw this Tull on this tour at Madison Square Garden. My first Tull show. Saw them another 20+ times over the years in several states and even in the UK and Germany. Thank you for the great memories.
Hi! You are a lucky man! America is America...!
I was at that show as well. Nazareth supporting.
I was at that show at MSG; "behind the stage" seats.
I saw this tour in New Haven at the Colosseum before they tore it down. Great show!.
Saw at San Diego Sports Arena in 1979. UK opened (Wetton/Jobson/Bozzio version)
My favorite group keep going strong for ever.god bless you all 💜💜💜

Appearantly the The Hague show was early 1980. Wish I had seen this one. In 1981 I went to Rotterdam and was apalled by the shift in course, the synths in everything.
I’ve been at every Jethro Tull show in Philadelphia from 1972 on this band is playing now is the best Jethro Tull band that I’ve ever seen
Martin Barre is one of the greatest guitarists of all time!
Agree and he seems like a very humble guy.
And he's criminally underrated by the music establishment. Ian would be wise to welcome Martin back to the band. Seems when Martin left even Ian's songwriting has diminished since Martin was so versatile, Ian songwriting could do anything, such as this song illustrates.
saw the Songs from the wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch tours in subsequent years in Toronto
...ahh the 70's ruled
I saw it live in Pittsburgh. Awesome show.
They were another great band, forever!
Such sweet memories! Listening to this is causing my heart to race and gives me goosebumps everywhere as I relive how exciting this man and this band makes me feel. What fabulous music!
My first Tull Concert, age 17, in Philadelphia. So glad I got to see them with the original lineup. Also the only year they played those songs from Stormwatch.
'Home' is just beautiful.
It's gorgeous
I saw this whole concert. Madison Square Garden. 2 hour bus ride from south jersey to nyc. Great show!!###
Barlow was masterful!! The best Prog band to ever live! I missed this concert and I am still bummed. I saw around 10 or12 concerts and they were the best sounding and tightest band ever. I saw Passion Play and glad I did. I was gigging a lot myself in the 80s and early 90s, so I missed a few.
This is… wow. Thank you for posting.
I saw this performed at Cap Ctr. Landover, MD. Outstanding
I love Dark Ages. Could imagine Rainbow doing a good cover of it.
This and part two are absolutely mind blowing! By far the very best Jethro Tull bootleg I've ever heard.
Tim Jackson
So true. This really is an amazing bootleg for its high quality soundboard origins. If only we had unfettered access to other such treasures from the Tull tour recording archive.

Thanks for watching and commenting!
Have you heard Watchers On The Storm?
Awesome!. I wish I could got back in time and see this show. This is the next best thing. Thanks for posting!
I was at both the Thick as a Brick, and the Aqualung tours, early 70's in Los Angeles, they were wonderful!
Great stuff, thanks!
I saw it at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. My first Tull concert was the War Child tour in Feb 1975 at Hershey Arena, Hershey, PA. Best concert I ever saw... and the includes PF "The Wall" at Nassau Collesium in 1981.
Buenísimoooo.
Saw this at Nashville Municipal Auditorium 1979. UK opened.... didn't know I wouldn't see them again for 20 more years
Me too !! Fantastic concert. My favorite of all time. Love UK too. We all left there talking about Terry Bozzio. Unbelievable ! Local FM radio station played Danger Money start to finish uninterrupted. I was like,.. man this band is awesome!!
fantastic!
That's so massively sweet of you, my dear. Thanks so much for watching, and for your very kind encouragement.
Gigantisch.
I saw this tour!!! Phenominal!!!!! I believe it was the last time John Glascock & Barrie Barlow played together. I was young teen and will never forget that concert or Mr Barlow's drum solo. Wow!!
Just noticed it says Dave Pegg , but could have sworn I saw John G on this tour. Anyone know?

I think Ian Anderson has been reincarnated from someone who lived in the past.
A Scottish pirate / or a ancient smuggler .
What a voice what a band to play so closely together and remember every piece of music coming up.

Si pusieras las letras de las canciones seria mas interesante! think about it.
