 Jethro Tull
 Live at Hammersmith ’84
 Review by Scott Prinzing

Originally recorded live on September 9 for broadcast on the BBC Radio One on December 27, 1984, this CD wasn’t released until 1990. It was part of a four-album series, The Friday Rock Show Sessions, along with live sets by Gillan, Samson and Ten Years After. At just under 45 minutes, the biggest disappointment here is that is wasn’t the full show. “Nobody’s Car” and “Pussy Willow” from this show were included on the 25th Anniversary Box Set. Other songs performed but not included here were: “Aqualung,” “The Clasp” and “Thick as a Brick.” This is recommended for the Tull completest. It’s an enjoyable disc, but the first live album, Live! Bursting Out! is the essential one.
