Very good to excellent audience mono recording.
MP3 224
*Original Notes*
This set was previously shared among fans as Came Down Out Of The Sky To Cry You A Song, missing the first six tracks on Disc One. A version of this complete show was shared on the net in May this year, which prompted a fan, luciferburns, to comment that Jethro Tull’s 1977 tour was the group’s “last hoorah as far as I’m concerned as I think Songs From The Wood was their last truly inspired album and tour.”
Put it this way, if you are a Jethro Tull fan, you will be hugely entertained and will not be disappointed, with Ian Anderson’s flute solo towards the end of Disc One a particular highlight. Perhaps there is simply something beguiling in the set’s (or the songs’) rusticity.
Thanks to Lincoln Park Mark for sharing the tracks.
