IN CONCERT

Recorded live at London's Hammersmith Odeon in fall of 1991, just at the time "Catfish Rising" album was released, this CD is proof Jethro Tull was taking its positions again, soundind closely as in years before 1973. After some harder albums (even getting Grammy award for "best hard rock / metal performance" for "Crest of a Knave" album), both on this concert and mentioned album old but polished Tull prevailed. Searching for stable lineup, this 1991 Tulls were full of energy and ready for the future, emphasizing shortly on the very beginning they are "minstrels in the gallery", free of imperative to make records that someone wanted, but the ones they did. Only moments of somehow lower performance quality are too hard rock sounding and in a hurry played version of "Heavy Horses", and pale version of "Thick as a Brick" medley.

Good, and essential to devoted fans of Jethro Tull, particularly for including some songs that can't be found on other live albums.
