Great quality video. A must have for true Jethro Tull fans. Some great footage of Tull in past years. They haven't lost it!

Pure Gold Vintage Tull. First, we have a DVD without breaks or comments during songs - Full Songs are Great. I find other DVDs with the comments and chatter mid-song a distraction.
The picture quality is excellent, even with the picture expanded. For the age of the film stock I was surprised at the clarity, even in the brighter scenes. I noted a prior review which indicated the picture quality was grainy - Mine was not through a 480P DVD player (Does not upconvert) and a 1080I 50 inch TV.
As some reviewers point out, the surround sound is a bit off - But with some tweaking of your system, the sound is excellent. The dolby 5.1 does sound somewhat muddy. The DTS soundstage has good high notes, but the low bass was just a little quiet. The stereo soundtrack actually sounded pretty good, but still needed slight improvement.
I tried a few other sound modes in stereo with different decoder settings and was still not completely satisfied. I found the best setting was to set the DVD audio to DTS 5.1, and then set my amp to 7 ch stereo - WOW - what a difference. The sound filled the room perfectly and the sub-woofer was ripping.
Never to Old to Rock and Roll....

it's Christmas in july, folks, with an unexpected present right under our noses! anything on dvd from tull is a treasure; these performances are great watching for anyone who thinks the band closed up shop after its 70s heyday. the sound here is excellent, the video is excellent - although perhaps a bit too ian-face-focused in the early part. dvds referenced in other reviews here, while good in their own right, are from shows within the past five years; the appeal of JitG is that it's stuff from nearly two decades ago - some even older. without a doubt a worthy addition to any fan's library.
now if we could just get a complete APP or TaaB show... or the Tampa show on the TOtRnR tour... or a MitG show with the string quartet... or...
