Jethro Tull/CA,USA 2000

“J-TULL DOT COM” is the last pure original album. Introducing a live album where you can experience that era with ultra-excellent sound. This work includes “August 29, 2000 Alpine Performance”. It is a transcendental audience recording that captures the whole picture. “J-TULL DOT COM” was released in 1999, and the tour continued until 2000. However, they did not simply tour with one album, and in between, Ian Anderson’s solo work “THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS” was also released. To understand the situation around that, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule at that time. ●1999・May 27th-July 24th: Europe #1 (36 performances) [“J-TULL DOT COM” released on August 23rd]・August 25th-October 10th: North America #1 ( 29 performances) October 19th – December 5th: Europe #2 (34 performances) ●2000《March 6th “THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS” released》・April 25th – May 13th: Europe #3 (13 performances)・June 6th – September 20th: North America #2 (66 performances) ←★Here★ ・October 21st: Malaysia performance ・October 30th – November 16th: Europe #4/Israel (12 performances)・November 25th-28th: ​​Brazil (3 performances) This is TULL in 1999/2000. It is divided into two parts with the border of “THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS” in the spring of 2000, and the Alpine performance of this work is in the second half. This was the 30th concert in the middle of “North America #2″, which was also the biggest leg. This work, which records such a show, is a superb audience recording that is truly “super”. Overwhelmingly direct! The sense of close contact is amazing, with no sense of distance, and the sound of the hall, which you might only notice after listening with headphones, doesn’t become cloudy or muddy. In the middle of the first song, “For A Thousand Mothers,” I heard a conversational voice that made me think, “This is really an audience…” voice can also be heard). The recording position is about 9 meters from the stage, which is close enough, but the sound feels even closer. It is a period DAT recording, but even with modern digital recordings, you do not often see such close contact and clear sound. It is truly a transcendental recording that can be called “just like a sound board”. The show drawn with that sound is a passionate performance that overflows with the feeling of being active at the end. First of all, the condition is very good. The above schedule makes “North America #2″ seem long, but it actually includes two two-week off periods. The Alpine performance of this work was the fourth performance since the end of the holiday, and it was a good time to restart after sufficiently recovering from fatigue. Of course, you can feel how well he’s gotten used to it over the past few months, and he’s in great shape. And while the set casually sums up a diverse and long career, it’s not just a greatest hits list either. Of course, the main focus is on the major songs from the 60’s and 70’s, but the “AQUALUNG” numbers have been compiled into a medley, and they have also turned their attention to recent numbers. There are also 90’s numbers such as “Passion Jig” and “Beside Myself” from the box set, Ian’s solo “In The Grip Of Stronger Stuff”, and “Hunt By Numbers” and “AWOL” from “J-TULL DOT COM”. , “The Habanero Reel” and “The Water Carrier” from “THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS” are also nailed down. It is a show where you can fully enjoy the progress of the active band JETHRO TULL while appealing with the profoundness of a British heavyweight. After that, JETHRO TULL continued to perform on stage until 2011. This work captures the last era when they were constantly making new releases and touring. It is a masterpiece of a live album that allows you to experience 100% of the actual performance with an incredible sound that is hard to believe that the scene was recorded by the audience.
