>>From 1992 it exists the official release of "a little light music" but it's edited. This "When minstrels came to play" is an entire concert from those tours. The sound is not a complete 10 but could be a 9'5. Probably the best recorded for all collectors I've met. I'd remark the instrumental "living in the past" and "Pussy willow" and a new version of "A new day yesterday" very played in next years. Recomended audio!

20. Aqualung
21. Locomotive Breath
22. A Song For Jeffrey Intro - Cross-eyed Mary
23.Dharma For One

>>They begin the 93 and 94 tours, probably my favourites. The 25th aniversary! This "A salmon farmer" is one of the best recorded. It's difficult to find excellent audience recordings and it's really difficult to rate the show. This one is almost 10 (9,25). They are also great 04-06-93 POSTCARDS FROM WOLFSBURG, KONGRESSCENTRUM, Germany. 2cd, and 16-10-93 HELLOOOOOOO, live Apollo London,. 2 cd .A-. Anyway the best one is 07-07-93 JETHROLLING , live Milano 1 cd but there's only the first half of the concert.
The shows were really great, and really good setlist and full of oldies, I'd remark the medley "Sossity..." and "Reasons for waiting" and specially the end with A Song For Jeffrey Intro - Cross-eyed Mary and the great Dharma for one. Highly recomended!

14. Locomotive Breath
15. Cross-eyed Mary, Dharma For One (medley)

>>The setlists from 1994 are like 1993 cause it's the same tour. Probably this "In a Norvegian wood" is the best recorded. It's considerd as excellent but I don't rated as 10, probably 9'5. I've collected several copies from different collectors they rate as excellent but I haven't found a better copy than other.

>>We enter in 1995 with the tour of "Roots to branches" album. All lovers of this album are lucky because they have this "Curious Riff". A superb recording, an absolute 10, could be an offial recording. It exists a similiar sounded record (27-09-95 VELVET FLUTE,Symphony Hall, Birmingham, UK) its from an FM broadcast but edited with omited songs.
From "Curious riff" I'd remark "We used to know" , see the link "When did they play?" . Highly recomended for lovers of "Roots to branches", perfect disc for this tour.

25. Cheerio

>>In 1997 we find some different setlists. I'd remark this one "Live at Wallingford" but sadly the sound is not which we like. I'd rate it as a 8/8'5 but we find some great oldies palyed in many few times through the years like "Teacher" , Great version with nice intro and nice end with much flute, really great! I remark this in the link "When did they play?" . We also find a medley "Bungle in the jungle/Minstrel in the gallery" and "Acres wild" . I've been looking for all shows with this songs but the best I found is this one. Also I'd remark the disc "Live at the Opera House, Spokane, Washington 3-nov-97" with the great "Thick as a brick" with a longer version in last years of 15 minutes never played since early years. It sounds great, the art cover says 10 but I don't rate my copy as a total 10, any way sounds with a nice energy. Also see the link "When did they play?"

>>The 99 brings us interesting things. There are some discs from 09-09-99 AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES Las Vegas with several copies around and a bit confused dates. There exists a superb broadcast recording with comercials highly recomendated. But the discs I'd remark is this "Ohne filter" performed in a german studio TV (Studio 5, Baden Baden) with a little audience. Some years ago this show with a short setlist came in a double cd. One was the audio and the other a Mpeg video for pc. Nowaways, in the Dvd era the fans and collector have tranferred into an excellent dvd. The audio sounds excellent , 10. I'd remark the extended version of the song "fatman" with flute in the middle.

>>This one is one of my favourites because sound is excelent, 10. It was broadcast by the spanish radio station Radio 3 but it's edited. They omited all new tarcks from "dot com" album. Only classic songs are in this one cd show. Does everybody like only old songs? Probably so. The guy who edited this show thought that tull fans only like new songs. Anyway they exist some others entire shows boots with this same setlist and with excelent sound as the next one commented. They circulate several copies with diferent artwork and sound. It was really dificult to find this copy. Other copies had rare noises and other one had all songs in just one track. This one is the best, it's what we all wish.

>>From this one they circulate several copies, too. It was broadcast by a Brazilian Tv and as use to be, from every tv broadcast show it exists an execellent audio cd. There are copies that they don't are 10 but this one is absolutely 10. Some times we can think that we have the best recorded boot from one show but sometimes it exists a better one here and there. I don't like songs like "the water carrier" and "habanero reel" but the show is entire and that's what I like. It's one of my favourites and of couse absolutely recomended one.

>>They exists very few shows from 2001 with good sound and no show was broadcast on TV. Anyway, we have this "Lowland blues" Perhaps it's the best, the sound is not 10 but could be 9'5. The setlist from this tour begin to seem what would be the official release "Living with the past". It'd be important to say that in these shows like "Lowland blues" and shows near to it , include some forgoten classics like "Love story" and "Bungle in the jungle" . I 've never found the first one for last 15 years. The second one is a bit more usual. Recomended as one of the best recorded from 2001.

>>I haven't recomended nothing from 2002 because the sounds were not as I 'd like and if there were some interesting setlist or song I wouldn't recomeded because the bad sound. ....And...we enter in 2003. This was a good year for all fans, for collectors and for who only wants to listen to their music in perfect conditions. There were two broadcast shows but know I'd recomend this "Songs from Essen" because is a 10 audience recording. Probably it'd exist different 10's but this one has an special force.
It includes songs like "Some Day The Sun Won't Shine for you" and "With You There To Help Me", usual ones in this tour. And also an exceptional show starting with a 8 min long version of "Living in the Past" with a fusion of the eightie's ang ninetie's versions. Great! After this, follows "Nothing is easy" . The Martin Barre's song is also great : "Count the chickens", in my opinion the best Martin's song of all. And the end a great short version of "Wind up".

>>I recomend this show for its sound, 10. It could be an official release, probably because it was broadcast on TV and some one taped from tv or probably directly from the mixing desk. The setlist is exactly the same as "Songs from Essen" one, but this one could be better. There exists and excellent dvd from this show, too. Some collectors don't rate it as A (10), perhaps they circulate several copies. I think mine is really a 10. Of course reocomended.

>>This disc is one show from those tours that Ian used to perform at the end of some years (2002, 2003). It seems that those tours won't be celebrated any more. They weren't great tours and with some local musicians from several cities from USA. Lucky, some of those tour were broadcast by local radio stations. This bring us excellent sounding cd's. Sadly the shows included too much Ian's solo songs. That's my opinion. There are several shows with 10 sound. This 08-11-03 R UBBIN' BOSTON . Berklee Performance Center, Boston, is one of those shows. I'd recomend it to have one representitive show of those tours.

>>The year 2004 begins at home, England. All shows of that tour started with a "Martin Barre ans friend" 7 songs setlist. Then played Jethro Tull. I am almost completely sure that this Manchester show is the best recorde from this tour, even from all 2004. It's an audience reording but its really a 10. They circulate some different covers but I haven't found two different qualyties. So, It's absolutely recomended. Here, I listen for first time the extended version of "Mother goose" with flute in the midle of the song. It will be played in many shows since then. Also we found a new version of "weathercock".

>>The ending 2004 brings us a half acoustic/half electric tour. I'd rather like electric Tull but Ian has always said he prefers acoustic set. Anyway the fans enjoy all kind shows. The first part of this shows contents few flute and I dislike this. There shows from this tour with excellent sound. Probably this from Madison is the best I've found. I'd rate the sound 9'5, not a total10. I'd emphasize the songs "Up the pool", "Dun Ringill" from Stormwatch and "Weathercock" with more flute. The second part begins as usual with "My sunday feeling"

>>And thanks to a Swiss tv we have another broadcast show and its audio. The audio of broadcast shows uses to be excellent, this one is superb. The set list is not very new but includes a revisited version of "Hymn 43" included in ending 2004 tour. They circulated several copies but I haven't found two different sound qualyties. I'd only recomend this show for the sound but not for the repetitive setlist. Only a real Jethro Tull fan and a live shows lover can say that the setlists are repetitive, for the rest the show is real good.

>>Nothing new about the Jethro Tull setlist but a new incorporation of a new musician in some Jethro Tull shows changes the shows. It's the violinist Lucia Micarelli and the setlists now will include some rare songs like Theme From 'The Godfather', Nocturne/Bohemian Rhapsody, Kashmir, She Is Like The Swallow . That divides the fans opinions. Is it why she is the Ian's son's girlfriend? I Think so! Anyway this audience recording is an excellent sound, 9'5/10 . I've seen three different covers for this show.

>>Sadly, they don't exist many TV broadcast Jethro Tull shows . I've found them on very few occassions. Fortunately there have been some shows on TV these last years. This one, performed under heavy rain, is excellent and setlist, too. The show was broadcast entirely and it's the Jethro Tull show we all wanted to keep in our shelf, without intermission, edit cuts and retouch images.They circulated many art and some copies. I've two copies, tow different qualities.Highly recomended as Sao Paolo one.
