I'd love that in surround, one of my favourite albums
Jethro Tull Bursting Out - Minstrel In The Gallery
Much more fun in 5.1
One of the greatest live albums ever, imo! I grew up listening to this all the time. So much that I have all of Ian's commentary memorized by heart.

Unfortunately Crack The Sky didn't make too much of a dent in the prog world outside of the Baltimore area. I mean most prog heads have heard of them I'm sure, but listening is another story. They were so good until the 80's. Lots of Nektar and Queen influence, I'm hearing. Great album!

Killer pressing, KILLER show – Vinyl Me, Please comes through again!

She was so great. One of the greatest voices ever. Too bad she was such a wacko. Didn't help having an a-hole for a husband.
Sounds good loud. Just about midnight!

Wow, look what I found
Allen Toussaint, The Meters, Dr. John backing. First time I've heard backing vocals run through a Leslie speaker? Pretty wild.
Aside from that Pink Floyd song, but those were lead vocals. Echoes, wasn't it?
Great harmonica!

Great keyboard playing & 70s synth sounds, mellotron too. They even take a stab at "court of the crimson king"
Some of the worst drum mixing I've ever heard though. Maybe they ran out of tracks & had to bounce them or something.

You want to hear a good drum mix?
Play this LP through a good setup, and turn it up.
You could even argue the drums are too prominent: but Martin Deller is on fire here, and the sound is stupendous. 1978 release, so still analog gear I think? Must have been a nice board, compressors, mics, engineers, the whole 9 yards.
Plus killer synth, bass, electric violin: Nash the Slash is ripping it up, Cameron Hawkins too.

Oops that came out in 1977
Here is a direct-to-disc live recording. It doesn't have quite the punch of the other ( missing that magic tape compression? Haha ) but it's probably due to the different studio gear & techniques.

This was one of the first albums when I started my vinyl revival. I love this album. Not a bad song on it. I was lucky enough to see them play most of this album at NEARfest several years back.
This one is interesting. I found out that there were two different pressings. If I recall one has a different take of Side 2. I did not know of this until I put the info into Discogs.
