Band line up:
Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Dave Pegg, Barriemore Barlow, John Evans, David Palmer.

This one's taken from the European leg of the "Stormwatch" world tour. Dave Pegg was by now, a permanent member of Tull following the tragic death of John Glascock (R.I.P.) in November 1979. This show is as good as it gets for sound quality from an audience recording - highly recommended!

11 Interview With Ian at a radio studio earlier in the day, 1980-04-02 13:42

Notes. I received this show in trade (along with a few other spring 1980 shows) about 14 years ago. This one sounds a bit better than the Hamburg show I have already uploaded. I did not make any attempt to alter the sound of the recording. I did however realign the track markers and rename the tracks. At the end of CD 2 was an interview with Ian on German radio. According to the site:

http://www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/setlist/80.htm, this interview was conducted earlier in the day prior to this show. I have included it here.

David Palmer's spoken introduction of King Henry's Madrigal fades in. If Jack-In-The-Green was performed, it either wasn't recorded or, at least, is not on my copy.
