Last night I had the pleasure of watching a 1979 German show on the Stormwatch tour. It was magnificent!! To be honest, I didn't even know it existed. The viewer gets a behind the scenes look at the tour and interviews with all the band members. It made me kind of sad to watch it, wasn't that right before Mr. Glascock died? I enjoyed seeing Martin and Julie with their baby daughter, I had never seen an early pic of Julie before. She's still as lovely as ever! Thank you B. and thank you Blue Eyes for making it availabe!

I watched that one also, and it made me sad as well. They all looked so happy. Who knew that within a year JG would be dead and the rest of the band except Martin would be fired? I know that MQ prefers the lineup of 1972, but I think that this particular lineup was the best and their most creative work came from there. Stubedoo

I think the same thing about that lineup, Stubedoo. They're my fave for sure. For some reason I never developed the fond affection for Jeffrey that some others have had. It's not that I don't like him, I'm just sort of... indifferent. <hiding from the flying tomatos>

I actually just started to watch it last evening, but too late to get through it all. As for a favorite line-up - the 1970 cast of characters holds much sentimental value because that was the first line-up I saw perform. The Jeffrey era was quite fun, but I would have to agree that the line-up with John Glascock, Barriemore, David P., John Evan, Martin and Ian was pretty damn incredible. John Glascock was one helluva bassist - and Barrie is the best drummer Tull has ever seen. I look forward to finishing my viewing. It is bittersweet seeing a younger Ian. He was so dynamic compared to what we see today. It remains wonderful to see Tull play today, but the sense of excitement I get when watching the early days eclipses today's reactions. MQ
