5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamic and versatile!, August 11, 2000

While a lot of live acts feel that energy is far more important than expert musicianship, Jethro Tull has always been a group that, under writer/flutist/acoustic guitarist/singer Ian Anderson, has the guts and the artistry to meld energy with genuinely complex playing. The result is music that stands outside of time: this 1991 concert recording is not tied to a certain time or place musically - it stands outside fads and fashions and that is what makes Jethro Tull so lovable to its fans and, perhaps, bewildering to others. Count me amongst the fans. Listen to the live performance of "Cross-Eyed Mary" (originally written in 1971), followed by the rendition of "This Is Not Love" (a 1991 composition, new when this concert was recorded). They're unique songs, and don't sound dated or at odds in each other's company. And then there's the pastoral folk grandeur of "Heavy Horses," and the hard rock of "Jump Start." Tull can play just about any style (sometimes incorporating different styles into one song and making it work as a cohesive whole). It's a pity the general public and current musicians can't take a cue from these classic entertainers. Long may they continue to play to their enthusiastic audience, and here's to more live albums such as this one so we can preserve the magic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recording!, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

One of the greatest live albuns I've ever heard. Tull's on top form, a great repertoire, excellent musicians, a high level of energy. Listen to Martin Allcock,he's the best keyboardist on Tull since Eddie Jobson. Martin Barre is excellent (as always), Dave Pegg carries his duties with brilliance, Doane Perry is a sympathetic drummer (but I'll always remember Barrie Barlow...) and Ian Anderson...Well, he's the greatest rock'n'roll singer of all time! Don't miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jethro Tull - 'BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert' (Windsong), March 15, 2006

Yet,another title I've been wanting to sink my claws into for quite sometime now.Literally,I believe it's been like ten years(I'm not kidding,either)since this title was released as a limited edition on the Griffin label.Anyone know if they're even still in existence?Anyway,I just recently got my own copy of 'BBC Radio 1...' and I'm very impressed with it.I'm now discovering how many live Jethro Tull titles are available out there.This gig took place on October 8,1991 at the Hammersmith Odeon.All ten tracks MORE than gives the fans what they came for,like "Minstrel In The Gallery"(although we get a mere snippet of the classic)along with "Cross Eyed Mary","Rocks On The Road","Tall Thin Girl","Thick As A Brick","A New Day Yesterday" and "Blues Jam".Line-up:Ian Anderson-flute,mandolin,acoustic guitar&vocals,Martin Barre-guitar,Dave Pegg-bass,Martin Allcock-keyboards and Doane Perry-drums(didn't realize Perry had been with Tull this long).A must-have.Recommended.
