A New Day magazine has reported that "Living In the Past" will be the next bookset release. Still no word yet that "Under Wraps" will get the bookset treatment.

The Jethro Tull KZread channel also released a whole recording and video of a BBC concert from 78 which is amazing .

best live band ever. saw every u.s. tour from passion play to broadsword

Steven crushes it again. As usual Pete does same. In depth review. Thanks to you both With many laughs as well 👍💯

I recall watching the original live broadcast of this show and being absolutely blown away. I wasn’t even a Tull fan at the time. It’s been one of my favourite live albums ever since. I’ve ordered my copy thanks to you guys.

I've loved BO since I was a kid. It's just such a great album reflecting an extraordinary band at the height of their powers. Needs to be mentioned in a list of the greatest live albums of all time.

Another great boxset from Tull. This makes my 11th Tull boxset in my collection. Thanks to last year’s reissues I was able to grab three of them I didn’t have the chance to purchase back when they were first released. I’m missing four - which are Stand Up, Passion Play, War Child and Too Old To Rock N Roll. I hope Chrysalis plans to re-release those as well in the near future. 😊

Only missing three of those four myself. Fingers crossed for more reissues.

Too Old To Rock n Roll has the complete filmed broadcast of the telling of the story in the album. Yet again, so much detail. The only package missing for me is Stand Up, which in terms of 'content' is no match for Too Old To Rock n Roll.

I just wish there was more unreleased material on here as the Madison Square Garden show was already released.

A great box from Tull again. It will take some studying of course.

They did reissue Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, Minstrel In The Gallery & Songs From The Wood. But am hoping for Stand Up, A Passion Play, Warchild & Heavy Horses to be reissued too....

I have all of these boxsets and really do hope they continue (and I'm sure they will) with these wonderful releases. I'm in full agreement with you both, I really hope that Under Wraps not only get's the Steven Wilson remix but also a bit of a make over, especially the synth's and drum machine part's. Going back to Broadsword, I remember being given a promo Chrysalis cassette tape of the album by my local record shop in Birmingham (UK) and the owner, who had been talking at length to a record company rep, told me that he thought it should have been released as a double album because of the quality of the song's that didn't make it onto the album. When I finally got to hear some of those song's (on the 20 year's of box set in 1988) I was amazed, although I guess I shouldn't have been, on just how wonderful these song's were! I remember meeting up with a group of dedicated Tull fan's in Inverness for a gig at the Eden Court Theatre in 1989 (in aid of a cancer charity, part of the Rock Island Tour) and we all wondered the same thing; how did Jack-A-Lynn not make it onto the album!!

You should do a ranking of these box sets. 🤘

Nit picking to the end! If you don't want to hear the soundcheck recordings where they are, simply AVOID THEM and skip to the rest of the set. I recall watching the original broadcast because Ian Anderson was on Whistle Test the week before explaining the planned satellite venture. I was always annoyed that broadcasts of concerts were never shown in their entirety on the BBC and, of course, this concert was no different. HOWEVER, there was no mistaking the quality of the performance itself. Jethro Tull were a hard working touring band and you can plainly see how great they were. I taped the music onto a cassette tape and played it forever. It was the performance that finally convinced me to get into the bands' music. I have been a fan ever since.

on my walkman i separated the soundchecks from the live tracks... bursting out inflated and bursting out soundchecks as titles

Love your videos, especially Tull, Giant, BJH. Your dead right about about all the books being put into one long book. Why don't have a word with Ian about it ? Keep up the good work.

I saw them on this tour , and they were fantastic . I'm looking forward to listening to this new set . Thanks for the review !!

Beautiful set my arrived Saturday amazing as always

I will certainly continue to buy these editions for all of the remaining catalog.

Only got my Inflated edition a few days ago but more than happy with it. The Tull Box set series are amazing regrettably I was too slow to get a copy of Stand Up. Another great review Pete and Steven are always entertaining and informative. Great viewing.

I love this live album and its my fav era of the band. Heavy horses tour. Ill be getting this for sure. Great review, guys!

And I can remove the discs pretty easily. That's a plus👍

They reissued Minstel and Songs from the Wood thankfully

Great review guys it's a beautiful box xet

I was at that MSG show. I remember it started 5pm ET

Great review. I would love to see a "Crest of a Knave" box set. IMO, It was the last front to back great JT studio album. Not a weak song on it. If it's true about Living in the Past, that would be a great box, too. I'm crossing my fingers for a Stand Up re-release.

Nice review Pete & Steven! I'm looking forward to cracking into mine eventually, still playing catch up on the re-issues from last year. I will buy the Under Wraps if it does come out. Hope for a complete remix/remaster, along with early demos and live stuff.

Great set ... great remix .... no issues with LP 1 being CD 1 and ditto for LP 2 being CD 2 ... and, like Pete, ripped the Soundcheck tracks to a separate album on computer . some of the following may be helpful ... I got the inflated version last week and can confirm that the set list for the inflated Bursting Out is the same as that on the Heavy Horses deluxe Live in Bern show with many of the tracks duplicated ... but with the new set being remixed by Steven Wilson. The lengths of the Bern set and the Inflated version are very similar, 1hr 49 min 50 sec v 1 hr 48 min 25 sec ... mainly due to inter song banter. The original 2CD set of Bursting Out was 1 hr 33 min 10 sec with some tracks edited and no Living In The Past .... the sound of the new mix is great, really is. The 8 x soundcheck tracks are interesting coming in at 38 mins 28 sec ... and are well worth a listen. The MSG DVD concert length is 1 hour 33 mins or thereby [the music pre broadcast is 19 mins 25, then there's the bit when the band go offstage, then it's 1 hr 12mins 56 sec ... v the total time on the CD version being 1 hr 18 mins 48 secs ... the difference being the extra banter on the DVD and the extra [i.e. 2nd] version of Locomotive Breath played mid-set as the live broadcast bit concluded .... the song was played again in its usual place towards the end of the gig proper ... so the CD only has one version of the tune. If you think the new, sonically improved [or just different] Bursting Out concert set will eventually be released as a stand-alone 2CD set then you may be happy to wait ... but if you want the soundcheck material ... the full DVD set (which has been available before) and the book then you buy the box .... as I say, the new mix of the main show is great. Hope that helps ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland .... p.s. 1st part of the show (pre broadcast on TV) ends with Heavy Horses ... broadcast starts with Thick as a Brick ....

This is going to be my ninth JT box, only question, why not bluray?

Just ordered mine from Laser's Edge! This will by my 8th in the series. Hoping to find some reasonably priced copies of Stand Up, War Child and Heavy Horses.

I think it can safely be said this is the greatest ever reissue campaign in the history of music!!

Agree. All of the Tull booksets are just so well done.

Heavy horses and living in the past are not on the orginal album, if I'm not mistaken.

Actually the corect set list is that of the album. the Madison Square garden was adapted to make the Video broadcast. They changed the usual set list for that night.

Great review! I’ve got all of the deluxe editions, and love them all. I have a question, isn’t the live performance released on the Heavy Horses ”New Shoes Edition” from Berne in May 1978 exactly the same recording as this one? They sound very similar and have the same tracklist.

These are amazing. I've hunted them all down about two years ago after discovering them on Phil Aston's channel. Do you have all of them, Pete & Steven?

These sets increase in value rapidly. The older ones now go for hundreds of pounds.

An expanded (or inflated) version of the best live album ever (despite it not winning Pete’s live album war a few years back!) What’s not to like?! I saw an interview with Ian, in which he said that pretty much everything they recorded during the Under Wraps sessions, has already been released. However they may re-record the songs with a real drummer.

I think Ian should do that!

I was at Madison Square Garden the night they recorded for the BBC. Ian explained before starting the real show that they'd do another faux-start for the BBC. Then when he came out and said, very broadly and ridiculously, "welcome!..." after what was essentially a short set, it was definitely played for laughs. I was in my mid teens, found it all super annoying. My third time seeing Tull (or second? I can't remember what order, all these years later) and the one that seemed distracted and annoying. My guess was Anderson was annoyed and making the best of it with humor as well. And yet... glad there's a video documentation all these years later!

And do you think they will continue these with "Under Wraps" and so on?!

I think the Bursting Out set is great. I've ripped the discs & put the soundchecks together in a different directory. I suspect the discs are split this was for the 1st set & 2nd set, TAAB was the first song played after the interval. @23 min & at end, souncheck placements aside I don't get your issue with the tracklisting. Now Bursting Out has all the songs & is in the order played on the May 78 tour. The MSG 78 is a unique setlist, different to the usual set played in Oct 78. TAAB is by far the worst boxset so far, no extras at all. Too Old is a fine set, too bad Ian has lost half the multitracks.

Dumping the sound check stuff in the middle of the live set? That's just lazy.

Pete, I bought this album when it first came out. I had already seen Tull 4-5 times by then. IDK why, I haven't listened to it in 50ish years. I NEVER liked this album. Maybe I need to give it another listen.

Keyboards are more clear and listenable

I’m probably going to pass on this one. Bursting Out is one of my favorite live albums. They play a good cross-section of their catalog as of 1978, and the album just sounds great. I don’t see a need for a remix, and the track sequencing on this one sounds…..not great. I’m not sure the remix/recovery of the MSG shows is worth the $$$

Should be called "The Bloated Edition." Do we really need yet another version of this? The Hack Wilson remixes are nothing special anyhow but the books are cool. The albums themselves are okay if they have significant new or unreleased tracks. But this is pretty much pointless, especially given that this tour was covered in the "Heavy Horses" re-issue. Would have much preferred a 40th anniversary version of "Under Wraps."
