940 WORDS FROM IAN ANDERSON

ON THE LIVING WITH THE PAST DVD

The various historical live recordings of Jethro Tull have been, as a rule, made for TV - as promotional freebies in return for advertising or to gain spin-off audio record sales.

To tell the truth, I never much liked the intrusion of TV cameras and their operators in my line of vision and, along with the rest of the band, resented the extra stress and hassle of performing to camera. But I guess it made the TV folks happy!

While it would have been interesting to include some of that footage here, we took the decision to leave all that old gritty, grainy stuff for another DVD release at a time in the future.

Instead, we opted for the better quality of the digital age and specially recorded a new concert at London's Hammersmith Apollo Theatre on the 25th November, 2001.

We also included lots of documentary backstage snippets, interviews and insights to the weird and wonderful world of the itinerant musos and their hard-working crew. Also included is a photo gallery of current band members.

And to bring back the original 1968 Tull line-up was an opportunity too good to miss. Mick, Glenn and Clive kindly agreed to get back together at a little venue in the midlands of England - much like the clubs where Tull began - and we invited a small group of intrepid fans to join us for the day, and to witness the disgraceful spectacle of four old guys trying to remember the chords and to tie their shoelaces.

Two of the best-known Tull acoustic numbers are featured in an intimate recording session: Wond'ring Aloud and Life Is A Long Song, both of which are bolstered by the presence of a string quartet.

The choice of songs to play in concert was not, and never will be, easy: the ever-changing rotation of older material means that, on any one tour, we stick to mostly the same songs with just a few changes here and there to keep ourselves on our toes. This tour was not the one for, by way of example, "My God", "Serenade To A Cuckoo", "Hunting Girl", "Songs From The Wood", "Heavy Horses" and a few others often to be found in our concert set. But to fit in all sixty, or so, songs frequently featured, would be impossible - not to mention the other hundred potential pieces which occasionally find their way into the live shows.

And to all those lovely enthusiastic people who say, "But why not give us a double, or even triple, DVD?" - well, I just don't have the time or inclination for such a huge project. And, I suspect you would not want to have to pay for it! No, better to do these things once in a while, when it's fun and fulfilling. Anyway you have a couple of hours' worth here for now.

To record the London concert and the other sessions, we used a Mackie Digital Hard Drive Recorder. For the techies amongst you, the recording was made at 24 bits with a sample rate of 44.1 Khz and a SMPTE frame rate of 25. The in-line extrammetors were pegged at 4000 nimrods and the video camera doppel-jaegers were ganged up to Dobbly Frequent Pulse Moderators T. I wore Marks and Spencer stretchy u/pants (for the younger torso) and Martin sports an elbow brace by his long-standing French Couture surgical supplier, Trussem.

Now to the serious equipment credits:

Ian Anderson's Sankyo and Powell flutes were supplied by All Flutes Plus, London. The bamboo flutes were made by Patrick Olwell of VA, USA. Ian's cute little acoustic guitar was built by luthier Andrew Manson of Devon, England. It is strung with D'Addario strings. Vocal and other microphones, in-ear monitors and radio gear were by - you guessed it - Shure Bros. (the Harley Davidson of Microphony!).

Martin Barre plays expensive guitars by Fender through even more expensive Soldano Amplification and very reasonably priced, very old, Marshall Speakers. He uses GHS strings, possibly because it's easier to say than D'Addario.

Doane Perry plays Premier Drums, Paiste cymbals, with Promark sticks, beating the shit out of Remo drum heads, wreaking havoc with his DW pedals, pounding the daylights out of Latin Percussion and RythmTech accessories and packs them all away in HardCase drum cases.

Andrew Giddings gently massages Roland Keyboards, Hammond Organ Module, and a Hohner (squeezy thing) Accordion, delivered to the outside world through a Mackie mixer.

Jonathan Noyce plays Fender basses through SWR amps. His strings are D'Addario, but not because GHS wouldn't give him any.

The audio tracks were recorded and mixed with the Mackie HDR digital 24 track and the Mackie digital mixer, the D8B.


After all the above mentions, you might be forgiven for thinking that we actually get all this stuff for free. In fact, many of these noble suppliers will now want to charge us double for tarnishing their good names. Now, if only I had been a tennis player:::

I could also mention that I swear by AGA oil-fired cookers, second-hand Rolex watches and Rimowa luggage, but you probably wouldn't be interested. See - I thought not. And no - Marks & Spencer don't supply me with free underpants either.

Enjoy this audio-visual treat as you watch me (and one or two others) huff, puff, sweat and strain our way through this typical Tull concert and give thanks that you are not sharing the hotel laundry facilities on our day off.

See you somewhere down the line, in the flesh and in the pink. Or, in the case of Martin if you bump in to him while out running - flush and in the park.

Perhaps there haven't been that many live Tull albums - as Ian Anderson points out in his liner notes, it's been ten years since the last, and there was only two prior to that - but there sure have been a lot of Tull titles that play with the phrase "Living in the Past," so it's easy to forgive the less-dedicated fan if they decide that they might have heard the Fuel 2000 release Living With the Past before. But they haven't - it's a collection of new live recordings from 2001, largely taken from a performance at London's Hammersmith Apollo in November 2001. What makes this particular live performance noteworthy is that they bring back several original members - Mick Abrahams, Glen Cornick, Clive Bunker, and Dave Pegg - for guest appearances in something that will surely delight longtime followers of the band, which is really who this disc is aimed at. On that level, this works quite well. Perhaps the sound is a little too clean, with each instrument clearly defined and detailed, and perhaps the performance leans more toward the professional than the inspired, but it's enjoyable all the same, proving that Tull remained a strong live band well over 30 years later - and for those who have followed them for years, this will be as welcome as a visit from an old friend.


Ian's Foreword for the CD

It has been ten years since the last live Tull album, A Little Light Music - a mainly acoustic performance of Tull songs taken from various locations. Before that, there was the Bursting Out album in 1978. Live material was also featured in the 1971 album, Living In The Past as well as the 20th and 25th Anniversary collections.
All of these recordings feature the different line-ups of the band at their best. Well, maybe not their very, very best, since the tape never seems to be rolling on that particular night:::. dammit!

The tracks for this album have been culled from a November 2001 concert at London's Hammersmith Apollo as well as other live performances. Some of these have been acoustic sessions for Radio and TV, which occasionally produce some sparkling and intimate moments. So, rather than simply mirror the audio track of the now released Jethro Tull DVD, also titled Living With The Past, we tried to broaden the mix of material to satisfy the intrepid (and rich) fanatics who might actually buy both!

We welcome back Dave Pegg as well as Mick Abrahams, Clive Bunker and Glenn Cornick from the original Tull 1968 line-up who feature in guest performance.

We actually have recorded every Tull show for a couple of decades. Sometimes the recordings live only long enough for one or two of us to check out the following day before re-using the tapes or discs. Sometimes they find their way to the shelves of my studio, to gather dust and dung beetles before being hauled out so we can relearn some long forgotten arrangement from previous years.

They are recorded from the front of house mixing console and represent the audio signal going into the PA system, thus sometimes being an unflattering representation of the sound - being without the ambience, audience response and sometimes appalling echorama which besets many shows. Listening to these tapes is often like seeing ourselves, all tousled hair (shouldn't use that word), in the bathroom mirror first thing in the morning - before we chaps have put on our faces for the day and pulled the tummy in a bit. However - with a bit of a shave, sh*t and a h**rcut, we can sometimes transform these bald (shouldn't use that word either) and stark recordings into something often quite - well - average. There are a few real winners 'though. Never mind - all of these dusty-shelf tapes knock any bootleg I have ever heard into a cocked h**rpiece.

I hope you enjoy these recordings, which represent the last few years of Tull's work. I know there will be many favourites missing - some of my personal bests are absent here - but perhaps if you are good, promise to brush your teeth and not stay up too late, there might be some more of this stuff available before too long. The future benefits of a good e-commerce website may allow us to market product that would not be suitable for the conventional record company or traditional retail outlet where increasing competition for space favours the latest boy band or plastic diva.

So sit back, relax, put your feet up, close your eyes and listen to the music. And put your seat belt on first.

Regards,

IA

Jethro Tull isn't nearly done after more than thirty years of solid groundbreaking albums; it seems as though Ian Anderson and his group have yet hit another creative stride and continue to improvise upon their back catalog with exciting and colorful adaptations of the songs that are intrinsically linked to the group and their sound. With the infusion of the younger band members Andy Giddings (keyboards) and Glen Cornick (bass), the court jester Anderson and seasoned lead guitar man Martin Barre have a good mixture of talent and experience that lends to the group's new found energy.

There are 21 tracks of vintage Tull on this CD spanning their entire career. A haunting version of "Roots To Branches" puts the spotlight on Anderson's mystical and magical vocal style that no one could ever duplicate. I can attest to the magnetic personality of Anderson on stage, as I witnessed it myself. I found the version of "Living In The Past" one of the most interesting tracks on the CD. It's a wonderful use of the all-around talent in this group. The keyboards change the entire mood of the number, and Anderson as always is up for the challenge, and he does a fine job of shaping his vocals around the music of the ever changing classic tune. "Fat Man" is a great tune as well; Anderson plays his miniature guitar wistfully and sings as if he means every word right from the heart, in his very own whimsical dry British humor kind of way. These are but a few of the highlights on a disc that is literally full of them. For long time fans a special treat is offered, the 1968 original lineup reunite on the close of the CD with "Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You" and "Cherrio." It harkens back to their roots when they were a blues based band.

There have been a lot of "Best Of" and repackaged Jethro Tull CDs issued, this is one that stands on its own for originality. It offers old and new fans alike a unique blend of different versions of their songs over the course of Tull's amazing run of successful albums. A DVD with the same name and cover is available for those that enjoy the visual experience to accompany the music.

Reviewed by: Eric Porter, June 2002
Tull's first official DVD release offers classic Tull songs in concert, mixed with band dialogue and a few surprises. The bands extensive catalogue gets tapped fairly, representing all eras of the band's career. Standards such as "Thick As A Brick" (where Ian jokes about progressive rock and concept albums) and "Cross-Eyed Mary" appear alongside newer tracks like "Hunt By Numbers" and "The Water Carrier" from Andersons recent solo outing. If I may say so, no matter how often I hear "Aqualung" Martin Barres guitar solo never fails to send a shiver up the old spine.

Never one without a trick up his sleeve, Anderson transforms two acoustic tracks "Wond'ring Aloud" & "Life Is A Long Song" by arranging music for accompaniment by a string quartet. Maybe I am getting old, but this intimate setting is one of my favorite moments. The reunion of the original band members (Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick, & Clive Bunker) takes place in a pub, showing off the bluesier roots of the band. Who would not enjoy sitting in an English pub, downing a few dark ales while these guys perform?

The concert footage was taken from the 2001 tour. The band appears to be in fine form. A powerful rendition of "Roots To Branches" establishes it as an essential track in the band's repertoire. "Jack In The Green" stays true to its original arrangement, and has always been a personal favorite. "Budapest" is the only track from the band's 80s output, but it stands up with all the rest. The music is timeless, whether it is the blues of "My Sunday Feeling" to the balls out "Locomotive Breath"; the songs are all played with passion and fire.

The dialogue is mixed in with the live performances, offering enjoyable banter from the members on their experiences, and the love they have for the music. The biggest disappointment is in the bonus material, and that is only because there is not enough of it. Just as the section titled Tull Talk gets going, it is over, with only one spot for each member. The live clips featuring Ian with Uriah Heep and Fairport Convention are only about 30 seconds long; I would have loved to see the whole track. These are only minor complaints, and the DVD is well worth the price for the concert footage alone. There is also a CD released with the same title (reviewed here), and it does have a few songs that do not appear on the DVD (clever marketing, damn) making it a must have for the Tull collector. The title Living With The Past is most appropriate. Tull is a band who realizes the value of the body of work they have created, and yet they continue to move forward with new music, not forgetting where they have been. So, crank up the surround sound and let the band work its magic upon you.

Living With The Past DVD and CD

Legendary rock band, Jethro Tull, releases a greatest hits album and DVD featuring classic hits & rare performances. This album is very special because it documents 32 years of Tull history. On April 30th, Fuel 2000 released the "Living With The Past" CD, and in May the DVD, which represents some of the group's greatest songs performed at various locations and arrangements. In addition to classic songs recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon, the CD features such rarities as an acoustic home session and a one-time club reunion of the group's original 1968 line-up. The DVD was released in May, and it features a different tune stack from the CD, plus video of Ian's guest and a virtual ticket window that allows the user to experience a song from any seat at the Hammersmith Odeon. The DVD was produced in conjunction with England's Classic Rock Productions.

The disc brought a smile to my face as I was taken on a visual and audio tour of over 30 years of kicking Tull music. All of my favorites are played, and a few I had forgotten. A real pleasure to be refreshed on this music, with the added dynamic benefit of visuals.

The band puts on a fantastic show and the sound of the flute playing of Ian Anderson is just as incredible as it was in years past. I have always been a fan, but with both the DVD and CD I have found a new appreciation for the magic that is Jethro Tull. Over 75 minutes of live Tull, the disc contains 21 tracks of quintessential classics such as "Aqualung," "Thick as a Brick," & "Jack in the Green," Also included with the pluses of owning a DVD, is a collection of extra features including a photo gallery and out takes for your viewing enjoyment. Not to mention that the DVD quality it looks and sounds terrific.

All fans of Jethro Tull must have these two discs. If your just a fine music collector, you must have it also.

Ian Reflects on the Choice of Songs, Current Recordings for the DVD


The various historical live recordings of Jethro Tull have been, as a rule, made for TV - as promotional freebies in return for advertising or to gain spin-off audio record sales.

To tell the truth, I never much liked the intrusion of TV cameras and their operators in my line of vision and, along with the rest of the band, resented the extra stress and hassle of performing to camera. But I guess it made the TV folks happy!

While it would have been interesting to include some of that footage here, we took the decision to leave all that old gritty, grainy stuff for another DVD release at a time in the future.

Instead, we opted for the better quality of the digital age and specially recorded a new concert at London's Hammersmith Apollo Theatre on the 25th November, 2001.

We also included lots of documentary backstage snippets, interviews and insights to the weird and wonderful world of the itinerant musos and their hard-working crew. Also included is a photo gallery of current band members.

And to bring back the original 1968 Tull line-up was an opportunity too good to miss. Mick, Glenn and Clive kindly agreed to get back together at a little venue in the midlands of England - much like the clubs where Tull began - and we invited a small group of intrepid fans to join us for the day, and to witness the disgraceful spectacle of four old guys trying to remember the chords and to tie their shoelaces.

I wore Marks and Spencer stretchy u/pants (for the younger torso) and Martin sports an elbow brace by his long-standing French Couture surgical supplier, Trussem.

Now to the serious equipment credits:

Ian Anderson's Sankyo and Powell flutes were supplied by All Flutes Plus, London. The bamboo flutes were made by Patrick Olwell of VA, USA. Ian's cute little acoustic guitar was built by luthier Andrew Manson of Devon, England. It is strung with D'Addario strings. Vocal and other microphones, in-ear monitors and radio gear were by - you guessed it - Shure Bros. (the Harley Davidson of Microphony!).

Martin Barre plays expensive guitars by Fender through even more expensive Soldano Amplification and very reasonably priced, very old, Marshall Speakers. He uses GHS strings, possibly because it's easier to say than D'Addario.

Doane Perry plays Premier Drums, Paiste cymbals, with Promark sticks, beating the shit out of Remo drum heads, wreaking havoc with his DW pedals, pounding the daylights out of Latin Percussion and RythmTech accessories and packs them all away in HardCase drum cases.

Andrew Giddings gently massages Roland Keyboards, Hammond Organ Module, and a Hohner (squeezy thing) Accordion, delivered to the outside world through a Mackie mixer.

Jonathan Noyce plays Fender basses through SWR amps. His strings are D'Addario, but not because GHS wouldn't give him any.

The audio tracks were recorded and mixed with the Mackie HDR digital 24 track and the Mackie digital mixer, the D8B.
