notes
I always thought that the album Roots to Branches was truly one of Tull's best. The best thing they had released since Stormwatch or Songs From the Wood. Too bad it didn't sell more copies. Ian has penned some really great compositions here. Tull's world travels really show up here with lots of non-western musics jabbing through the rock and roll. Lots of different timbres, and the band sounds like a real band, not just a couple of guys backing Ian and Martin. Martin totally rocks on RTB (and here). Some of his best work ever.

This FM broadcast showcases their new album, and it's smokin'! Remember when Tull played most, if not all, of their current release? They haven't done that in 12 years, since 1995 when this was performed. I guess that's what happens as a band ages and it's audience only wants to hear the hits and the songs they know.
