Ensemble Ambrosius - Live in Edinburgh (2002, Finland)

A chamber music group, established in 1995, which plays modern music on baroque instruments.

This is the FM broadcast (on BBC Radio 3, 13 March 2002) of a concert given at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh by the Ensemble Ambrosius of works by themselves, FZ and Ligeti. They are an interesting bunch of guys who like to play contemporary music on Baroque period instruments, and have gained approval from the ZFT for their arrangements of some of FZ's works.

Notes: JEMS master recording. This is an excellent sounding recording. This show captures Jethro Tull touring in support of their War Child album. This recording has circulated for years but this is the first time the master reels have ever been properly digitized (April 2010). This is an excellent show and performance with an early taste of an excerpt of Minstrel In The Gallery which would not be released until later in 75. Ian's in between song banter at this show is as entertaining if not more entertaining than music. Also of note this show took place on the 25th of July not the 27th as some other sources have speculated in the past.

Jethro Tull - 25-11-1975 (Soundcheck)

July 28, 1975 | Oakland, CA
Soundcheck - NOT A CONCERT - no real songs played here

This is just one long track as the band members plays bits of this and that
while they get the levels correct for the evening's performance.

It is a bit of flute, a bit of guitar, but mostly John's organ, WHICH WILL NOT "unite with the guitar to provide a textural overlay rich in percussion counter rhythms "YOU WILL NOT HEAR" young Gerald Bostock's poem taken up once more, sung of course, by Mr. Anderson and "AT NO TIME WILL YOU HEAR, "the guitarist, the drummer, and I myself, blend and aspire towards eager participation in anticipation of the orgasmic sensation to follow".

You do get to hear the string quartet warming up a bit.

You can also hear the clandestine taper whispering to a friend as they record, what must have been for them, a really neat experience.

TOTAL TIME 25:50

Note. Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.

Notes: To date myself, I remember when this bootleg LP was the only live Warchild material available, back when I first started collecting bootleg LPs. It wasn't until a few years later that I finally amassed enough bootleg live material to put together a small list and started a new snail-mail trading connection. And the funny thing is I never did get a copy of this LP for my own. In fact, it probably wasn't until 1996 that I first heard this recording, and by then very disappointed with the sound quality and poor editting of the show.
As I said, the sound quality isn't very good, the editting is poor and the show is incomplete. I guess on the up side is that the bootlegger only included songs that were not available on other Jethro Tull bootleg recordings (at the time) - mainly Warchild material. sample included.

Notes: This is a very nice quality audience recording from the "Summer Raid" tour 1986.
"Following Ian Anderson's vocal problems in 1985, Jethro Tull returned with six European shows over nine days in 1986 - not so much a tour as a "Summer Raid".

(*) this location is announced in broadcast, but no such show is listed in "ministry of information" tull fan site. several other shows from Germany are, however. "supergroups in concert" FM broadcast lineage.

Notes: This recording comes from a broadcast that had problems in tracks 5-8. it's not from reception issues, although a couple of later tracks have some slight static, that's hardly noticable, but several parts of tracks 5-8 cut out in one channel caused by some interruption of the signal in one channel. Most of it is the left channel cutting out a few times it's the right one, so some sections were monoized to keep comtinuity as smmoth as possible. It's a bit of a bumpy ride in some parts, but the rest is pretty enjoyable.
This all comes from the tapes recorded when this broadcast was promoting the US part of the broad sword and the beast tour.
There's a cut for the tape flip at 45 min. into the show missing just a few seconds, all the rest is there.

VERY RUDE, rowdy crowd, lots of pushing and shoving. This habit changed quickly and all the other Tull- Worcester audiences (84,87,89 and 91) were very good, considerately enthusiastic, (not rude at all). But not this one! Recording quality: B to B- (mainly due to crowd noise, there's alot of it in here).

This is an incomplete but decent sounding show from the UK leg of the 1974 "WarChild" tour.
From NRT's original notes: "This recording is seemingly brand new to trading circulation - presumably London's usual bootleggers were all on the other side of town, taping Pink Floyd at Wembley.... Unfortunately, the taper's batteries died, so the final ~10 minutes of the show and the encore were recorded badly, and discarded long ago; the 75 minutes remaining give an excellent impression of the 1974 Tull concert experience in their (professional) home town - it's worth it for Ian's comments alone!
Although covertly recorded by an audience member, ambient audience noise is minimal, and sound quality is limited only by the acoustics of the hall; in that respect, it's better than some audience DATs
from a quarter of a century later! The recording has been 'remastered' directly from the original master tape, avoiding the degradation of multiple-generation copying, but it must be remembered that it has been stored on magnetic tape for a matter of decades - it's extraordinarily good, but one has to be realistic....
Sourced directly from the audience master tape, with further processing:
* Dehissed, though some tape hiss was left, rather than distort the recording itself.
* The recording was subtly too slow, so the pitch was raised by 25 cents (quarter of a semitone).
* Whilst the right channel was rather quiet, the left channel was recorded too loudly, so the recording was rebalanced and normalised.
* Gratuitous audience noise and extended silences were omitted.

Notes: This is one of my 400+ Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson concerts and Radio shows. I have not recorded it by myself. It's a rip from a 2 CD-R release "Summer of '74". The Boot includes the complete performance of Jethro Tull's first show of the 1974 Japan Tour.
For such an old recording the sound quality is really very good. It sounds very clear and is very enjoyable (imho). Jethro Tull were very loud and energetic in these old days. The Boot captures this very well.

Notes. This is by far the best Minstrel In The Gallery tour show that I have. The sound is better than the "Out Of Egypt" show recorded a few days earlier. If I remember correctly a copy of this was on tapecity a while ago, but it was pulled for being lossy sourced. I checked this with audacity and it is without a doubt lossless. My copy of this came with a bonus interview from 1976, but the interview contains officially available music in the background, so I decided not to include it.

Notes: The Boot includes the complete performance of Jethro Tull's final show of the 1974 Japan Tour. This recording is from august 28 and definitely not from august 23.
Some people say so, but I think they have any other recording. This is the final show of this tour.
The sound quality is really excellent, also concerning for the age. So far I know this is the best sounding recording from this tour (I don't have a better one).
Like the august 17 show it sounds very clear and is very enjoyable (imho ofcourse).
Jethro Tull were very loud and full of raw energie in these old days. The Boot captures this very well.
