I want to add since I saw this thread bumped........ word is that Steven Wilson is doing a remix of Bursting Out with a MSG show from that tour to be added.

I'm not sure but isn't BURSTING OUT included on the HEAVY HORSES super deluxe set? Or is that another show from the tour?
I'm not near my copy at the moment. At any rate, the more live Tull the better!

This is the show on the Heavy Horse super deluxe:


The introduction by Claude Nobs, "Flute Solo Improvisation", "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll", "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath" and "The Dambusters March" from this show were on Bursting Out.

Some of it is, but not all.

BO was my first Tull album, so I'm happy to hear about it. Jacko did okay with that show on HH, but my main gripe is that the volume levels are FAR below what Wilson's HH remix did.

Thanks for clearing that up, guys. I knew something similar to Bursting Out was in the Horses box. Hopefully we do get the full one and more!

Would the MSG concert be the same 1978 show that was released a few years back as a dvd/cd set? I recall it was not the complete concert. And Tony Williams filled in for John Glascock for the tour.

If I recall, Tull played three straight sellouts at MSG in October 1978 on the Bursting Out tour (bands used to for live albums back then!).

One of those shows was broadcast to movie theaters for around 50 minutes and that’s what was issued on DVD.

That release also had the full audio, but missing a lot of dialogue (I think), so if they do this MSG remix, having the full show on video (I doubt they have this) and audio would be slightly different.

I’m disappointed they would do a Bursting Out release as that was primarily handled (not exactly) on the Heavy Horses box set.

I want Under Wraps, Crest of a Knave, Rock Island, Catfish Rising and Roots to Branches!

Yes, I agree. I'd rather they just move on to the ret of the studio albums. I'd buy up to J-Tull Dot Com.

Oh, who am I kidding? I'd buy any Tull reissue.

Same here!

But they’re only doing the Chrysalis/EMI albums and that goes up to 1995.

Maybe another label will expand the other releases, but rights issues might be difficult.

I cleaned up my Mother's old Pioneer Record Player cabinet from the 1970s to serve as a stand for my Color LASER
printer, but it also gives me a nice interior shelf or two inside to store things like my Jethro Tull / WIlson Remixes and
collectible book sets all together. "Benny Hill" is standing in for the next two releases.
