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.
