THE RECORDING

FANTASTIC!!
Excellent quailty

I always thought that the album Roots to Branches was truly one of
Tull's best. The best thing they had released since Stormwatch or Songs
From the Wood. Too bad it didn't sell more copies. Ian has penned some
really great compositions here. Tull's world travels really show up here
with lots of non-western musics jabbing through the rock and roll. Lots
of different timbres, and the band sounds like a real band, not just a
couple of guys backing Ian and Martin. Martin totally rocks on RTB (and
here). Some of his best work ever.

This FM broadcast showcases their new album, and it's smokin'! Remember
when Tull played most, if not all, of their current release? They
haven't done that in 12 years, since 1995 when this was performed. I
guess that's what happens as a band ages and it's audience only wants to
hear the hits and the songs they know.

They haven't sounded this alive and spunky in a long time.

Can you tell that I like this one? :-)
