notes:
this show was one of the last before the recording of the
"Stormwatch" album.
they played here 2 nights, april 28 and 29
acc. to the Ministry of Information Jethro Tull fan website @
http://www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/setlist/79.htm
then April 30 at Tarrant County Convention Center
in Fort Worth, Texas.
a bootleg CD called "dark ages" is incorrectly listed as being from Dallas (Texas)
according to the same info site,
but there may have been a Dallas concert before that,
since the only other listing for the early spring 1979 tour after that is John Glascock's
last concert with Jethro Tull, at the Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas on May 1.
John passed away Nov. 17 that same year.
the site does not note any concert in Dallas on that tour.
this recording has a few interruptions, one cutting out of the drum solo
and one cutting into heavy horses, and a couple of others, but not missing too much music.
some of the songs suffer a little bit of warbling,
especially the last couple when the batteries get tired, and dark ages at the end of the tape side.
not enough to totally ruin it, most are okay.
this is a fairly low fi recording, but otherwise a pretty good recording,
the crowd noise isn't too overwhelming (most of the time),
all the instruments are audible, and the quality and consistency is pretty stable through most of the show.
just one song from the still unreleased album (dark ages) cuts just as it goes into the jam part
about 3:30 or so into it, resuming on the B side of the cassette source tape.
not much is missing there at all, just a few seconds, apparently.
