Just three years after their founding, Tull played the final day of the legendary Isle of Wight festival (often called the "British Woodstock") in 1970. With the crowd estimated at nearly 600,000, the band was one of the many impressive acts that day, including The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the Moody Blues. It was the largest Tull audience ever and indeed, the largest audience in rock history.
The set contains mostly tunes from Tull's first three albums, along with an "in development" version of "My God" which would appear later on "Aqualung."
This is not simply a performance video. The production masterfully intersperses comments from Ian about the "hippie" period, the festival, the technical and logistic difficulties of the soundcheck, Tull's legacy, and the band's performance. The DVD also includes a photo gallery of Tull from the festival.
This approximately eighty-minute DVD has superior audio, including options for Dolby Surround 5.1 and DTS (first Tull product ever in those audio formats).A six-page booklet includes Ian's reflections on the performance.
