"Now to finally lay to rest any ugly rumors that John Glascock is a kinky bastard who likes being thrashed severely across the bum, we'll do it only very slightly in the next song..." --Ian Anderson uncensored  intro to "Hunting Girl," bleeping 'bastard' in the digital age, but keeping the bum thrashing unscathed.

Tull on 1984's Under Wraps tour was among my first half dozen arena shows, and I completed my collection easily through the 2 used shops (except of course the touring album).  I always called this album 'Bursting Out-Live' not the supposedly correct title: Live-Bursting Out, for a good 40 years including earlier today when I decided this would be the album from the stack I listened to yesterday that I would write about.  He did burst out of a cake on the tour I witnessed, and I suspect he did it on this 1978 tour as well.  The early editions of this had a typo on the spine: Busting Out.  I didn't check this copy that sold, so maybe someone has the "rare" edition for $5.

Bursting Out was never listened to beyond the day I bought it.  I tend to gravitate away from live albums  in general.  It's a solid sampling of tracks I've overheard with some lesser known tracks from Songs From The Wood and the touring album Heavy Horses.  You get crazy reverb vocals during the "one day you wake up" part of "Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A New Day."  You get a shortform version (12:14) of "Thick As A Brick" for the "over twenty-fives in the audience."    You get a "Pop Goes The Weasel" at the beginning of "Cross-Eyed Mary."  You get the full on Flute Solo preceding Bourrée.   "Minstrel In The Gallery" is paced a little too spritely.  They had to cram these long songs in, but, ya know.

I'll continue to simply call it Bursting Out, thank you.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
