Yep you are right. all three parts are less than 30 minutes.

 

[Simon M]

Yep you are right. all three parts are less than 30 minutes.

I just did a search and there's definitely a part 4 and 5 further down the list, but that still doesn't add up to all of it. let's hope it makes it onto the DVD!

"Stormwatch 40th anniversary edition coming this summer! Stay tuned…" per Jethro Tull website!!!
Wilson still?

Wilson still?

It should be. He had stated a while back that he was working on it. Can't wait to hear "Dun Ringill" in surround. One of my favorite Tull tunes!

 

[MCDave]

I love Dun Ringill too, but I've always struggled with the rhythm. It's one of the rare instances where I can't detect the time signature. When he sings "By Dun Ringill", the "By" doesn't come when I expect it to, and the rest of the phrase seems half a beat off from the guitar. Very strange. The guitar is the best part of the song, but to this day I still don't know where the downbeat is. I'm not sure I'm listening to it right. Kinda frustrating. I need a video with rolling lyrics and a bouncing ball to help me with the beat

The Police "Spirits in the Material World" is another one where the rhythm baffles me (the verses, not the 4/4 chorus). The bass line throws me off completely. Again, I'm not sure where the downbeat is.

And then there's Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge", where I can follow the song but the signature eludes me.

Dun Ringill is one of my favorites too. Pretty sure I read somewhere that SW mentioned it as being one of his too.
Is there something tricky in the time signature? I thought it was in 6/8.

 

[privateuniverse]

"Dun Ringill" is in 6/8. The delay effect on the vocal can throw you off though. If you ignore the vocal and focus on the guitar, you can keep in time with it.

"Spirits in the Material World" is straight 4/4. It throws you off because nothing happens on the downbeat of each measure. The guitar/synth chords come on the "and" of each beat. One of the better examples of the awesomeness of the Copeland/Sting rhythm section.

Cool, that helps.

Copeland/Sting rhythm section.

When I first heard the Police I wondered why I had heard the name "Copeland" before -- no, not the composer -- then I realized he had joined Curved Air when he married the lead vocalist, Sonja Kristina (the "Midnight Wire" album was his first appearance, and he looks rather hippie on the cover, haha).

Curved Air were / are -- they are still touring, last I heard -- a fantastic prog band. Their first album was a milestone British psych one (I thought of them as a Brit Jefferson Airplane at the time!). To have Copeland go from them to the Police really did signify that music was changing in the 80s. . . .

Tull was changing too -- always interesting. Can't wait for STORMWATCH, as his "British folk-prog" is very unique. And then there's SW

[ctoelle]

Aww Yeah! Another long time Tull favorite of mine.
King Henry's Madrigal in 5.1? Fookin' A!!!

I've had a boot of the live show on this set for many years. Going to be nice to have an upgrade of this fantastic show

 

[halbroome]

Is it on pre-order anywhere? That hits uncomfortably close to the ABBEY ROAD release . . . sigh . . . another expensive fall shaping up, although I shouldn't complain

 

[MCDave]

I have to admit I'm rather disappointed that the 5.1 mixes aren't in 96/24, but at least we can be thankful they didn't include vinyl.

Next question on my mind is...how much?

Next question on my mind is...how much?

Much cheaper now than later: HEAVY HORSES box set can still be had for 35 bucks on Amazon, but SONGS FROM THE WOOD?

400 bucks

[hwkn]

The mixes are in DTS 24/96 just not in DTS HD MA 5.1

 

[bossfan]

I own all of the Tulls, and I've done a very poor job of checking out the bonus stuff. Ugh....I really need to do that...

Yes you do. They are certainly worth a listen and sometimes as good or better than the original album material.

 

[Ninecats]

This will be awesome yet again!

 

[JohnN]

Another assignment for me. Another 5.1 winner. No monster spoilers...
