Album Details
In 1978, Having Already Recorded a Decent Bunch of Interesting and Varied Albums, the Members of Jethro Tull Embarked on a Full European Tour, Deciding to Record Each Show in Order to Select the Best Performances from their Best Nights and Create an Album which Would Mark the Breadth of their Output to that Date. The Album was "Live Bursting Out" and it Fully Represents their Cataloge from the Start with "a New Day Yesterday" Through to "Songs from the Wood" which was Released Just a Year Before this Recording, and Much in Between Including "Aqualung", "Conundrum", "Minstreal in the Gallery" and a Reprise of Thick as a Brick". This Time around the Album Will Be Packaged in a Brillant Box with Added Liner Notes and Extra Photos from the Era.

 Capturing Tull at their peak October 6, 2008
Joseph C. Helton
Consider this a must buy for Tull fans. 'Bursting Out' is a brilliant collection of the best of the European 1978 tour featuring the lineup that would leave a lasting impression, John Glascock, Barriemore Barlow, Martin Barre, John Evan, David Palmer, and of course our good friend Ian Anderson. From the enthusiastic introduction by Claude Nobs, to the Aqualung reprise at the end of 'The Dambusters March' the listener is treated to the very best of live Tull, there really isn't a weak moment on this album, it's all good. I've been adding albums to my Tull collection, and really added this one without alot of thought, but after buying it I'm excited to have it, and can strongly recommend it to all Tull fans. 5 stars.
Jethro Tull's first proper live album is still a must own, 30 years after its original release August 4, 2008

English prog rockers Jethro Tull's double live album Bursting Out was released in September of 1978.
The Bursting Out album was recorded on the band's 1978 European tour in support of their excellent but underrated album Heavy Horses. This album captures the lineup of lead singer/songwriter and flute player Ian Anderson, guitarist Martin Barre, keyboard player John Evan, drummer Barriemore Barlow, orchestrator/keyboard player David Palmer (now known as Dee Palmer) and bass player the late John Glascock at the top of their game.
We begin with Introduction By Claude Nobs who was one of the top music promoters in Europe. We follow with a stellar intro which gives way to a rocking version of the Heavy Horses album track "No Lullaby" which is a superb version. We follow with "Sweet Dream" which rocks alot harder than the studio version. We then have an acoustic portion starting with an excellent reading of "Skating Away On The Thin Ice". Next is an excellent version of "Jack In The Green" which is always one of my favorite Tull tunes. We then end the acoustic set with another track from the Heavy Horses effort being "One Brown Mouse".
The second side of the album start with an excellent version of "A New Day Yesterday" which has a harder edge than the studio version. Next we get to hear Ian's impressive flute playing on "Flute Solo/God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/Bouree" and proves why he is rock's greatest flute player. We then have a short but powerful version of "Songs From The Wood". We end the first disc of this stellar two disc album with an excellent but condensed version of "Thick As A Brick". This version rivals the live version from Madison Square Garden found on the TaaB remastered CD from 1998.
The album's second disc and third side starts with an Introduction By Ian Anderson which then goes into a powerful version of the Songs From the Wood album cut "Hunting Girl" which is a killer rocker. Next is an excellent version of the title cut to 1976's Too Old To Rock and Roll To Young to Die. Next is the instrumental called "Conundrum" which is the drum solo spot from virtuoso drummer Barlow proving why Barriemore is an excellent drummer and Martin Barre's riff here showed why he is a great, yet underrated, guitarist. The title cut to 1975's Minstrel In The Gallery is next and is a great version.
The album's last quarter begins with an excellent and heavy version of "Cross Eyed Mary". Next is another exclusive instrumental "Quatrain" which is driven by a killer riff by Barre. We then follow with a killer version of the title track to 1971's Aqualung and is the best version I ever heard though the version from the 1981 video Slipstream (which is a bonus DVD on the remastered re-issue of 1980's A album/CD). Next is a great version of another classic "Locomotive Breath" which just rocks. We end with "The Dambusters March" which gives way into an instrumental which rocks and a reprise of Aqualung to end the album.
Bursting Out upon release reached the US Top 20 and went Gold immediately and rightfully so as this live album just kicks arse beginning to end.
The original US 1990s CD release wrongfully and inexplicably deleted Sweet Dream, Conundrum and Quatrain and much of the stage bantering to fit the album on one CD but this remastered 2-CD set released in 2004 restores the full album to its full length and how one first heard it when they either owned the LP or cassette or 8-track cartridge issue. If you want one live Tull album in your collection, Bursting Out is where to go for the best live Tull performance available.
HUGELY RECOMMENDED!
 Great Set, But Don't Replace Your Tull Albums July 8, 2008

Good to see this has been remastered and given a proper reissue.
I actually have the original one-disc release of this CD, which I originally got to replace my LP. On that edition, not only were a few songs dropped to keep it down to one disc (an all-too-common practice back in the day), but the edits were *utterly* artless. There are literally jarring jump cuts between some of the tracks.
I hope it was also remixed so that the double-tracking Anderson did with his vocals is a little less obvious. I mean, just how did he manage to sing harmony AND lead at the same time in concert? And hey, while I'm at it, did they restore Anderson's naughty words during his witty repartee? Mine were actually bleeped. BLEEPED! HAH!
But I digress. If you are a Tull fan, of course you need this release... Probably already have it... and are reading this review to find something to take issue with.
If you are a new Tull fan, you should have this set, as opposed to any of the countless budget comps out there. It really is a classic lineup and a representative sample of their classic music.
Casual Tull fans, however, will not find much here in the minor live variations to recommend above the studio efforts (sit down, Tullhead, I'm talking to the casual fan). You'd probably be happier with "Living In The Past."
I consider myself a Tull fan -- but apparently not a rabid one -- Since I myself am still trying to decide whether I should bother to shell out for a THIRD TIME for this release. Maybe I'll wait for a 24-carat gold edition with extra tracks and a bonus limited edition weather balloon.
The Best Live Recording of Jethro Tull!! June 26, 2007

I first bought this record in 1978. Great recording, stellar performances by the best line up, in my opinion, that Ian Anderson had ever put together. This CD has the best mix of acoustic and electric arrangements, clearly demonstrating the excellent musicianship of the band members. This CD has been digitally remastered, and it sounds great! I highly recommend this CD for all Tull fans, young and old. Its hard to believe this was recorded about 30 years ago!!! Enjoy a glimps into the dim and distant past...Jethro Tull ROCKS!!!
A Tull MUST HAVE June 20, 2007

If you are a Tull fan, I completely recommend this album. I have been a fan for 20 years, and owned this originally on album and 8-track. There was an earlier release of this in CD, but poorly mastered. This version is GOOD. I have loved it. It is the entire double-album, nothing editing from the 70s first release.
