FINALLY ! the Floyd Birmingham 70 show comes to Godfather. Although the sound is fair at best the setlist makes it a must have

I agree very much about the new Floyd release. Actually, as far as I know, the latest, very best versions of the show have reasonably decent sound quality. Very much looking forward to it – YEAH!

Nice collection of new titles from Godfather. I am very excited for the Floyd and the Tom Petty looks promising as well. I also believe that the Tull comes from a soundboard source.

I believe the previously available form of the Jethro Tull performance has been from an FM broadcast. I’m saving my nickels and dimes for that one. Thanks!

Nice to see a Tull silver again – we’ve frustratingly had several CDRs of late that I would definitely have bought, had they been silver. Kind of rubs it in your face!

I’m not certain at this time if the Jethro Tull release is limited to the 54 minutes of the FM Broadcast, however, it is a single CD. A retailer of CDs does have the track listing for the release on their website:
1. Introduction
2. My Sunday Feeling
3. My God
4. To Cry You A Song
5. With You There To Help Me
6. Sossity / Reasons For Waiting
7. Nothing Is Easy
8. Dharma For One
9. MC
10. We Used To Know /
For A Thousand Mothers

thanks for the track listing
looks like Dharma for one is the only extra track not on the broadcast
We used to know/for a thousand mothers has been miscredited as Dharma before, so to see them both on the track list is promising
i think i’ll be haveing this

The tracks on the new Floyd are unique, eh?
I have the live version of the “More” theme on that defective wonderland box and it’s totally listanable.
I hope the rest is.

From what I was told this new JT release is a mix between two separate FM broadcasts and the CD lasts with almost 70 minutes or so.

Hi Sionxxii-can you elaborate more on your defective Wonderland box? I’ve had some issues with a couple of Wonderland titles and was curious about your experience. Thanks

Tmoq, ATH on disc 5 starts clicking 1/2 way through.the same with AHT on disc 6 and Disc 10 clicks form the start.
It’s too bad because the Lund and San Diego shows are great.

Yep :). I did a listen to this today and I have to say this is the best version so far! Not because this is the first time when the Birmingham show is released on silvers but also the quality is superior to all versions circulated before. Add the note that the Amazing Pudding has complete drum solo (however it’s still cut at the end) but also Careful if not cut for the first time ever in the history of this unique performance.

I received my copy on Monday and will have a full review posted very soon. But I agree with AA. It is a fair but very listenable recording with a unique setlist. If you see a copy, grab it.

BTW, I have a spare copy if anyone wants it.

This new Jethro Tull title is 72 minutes, in excellent quality. I also have this show as ‘Blues from Chicago’ (Manic Depression CD 015, released 1991), which runs for 54 mins. Compared to BFC, TISF gives us ‘Dharma’, and also ‘We Used To Know’ – BFC mistitled ‘For A Thousand Mothers’ as ‘Dharma’, and didn’t have ‘We Used To Know’ preceding it. BFC also misdates the show as January 1st, but from the 1970 tour dates thoughtfully provided inside the sleeve by Godfather we can see the band were in odense, Norway on Jan 1st.

I got the new Floyd at Birmingham 1970-02-11 on Friday (the 5th), and I love it – I haven’t heard any other version that’s any better. Disc 1 runs a total of approx. 46:16, & Disc 2 runs a total of approx. 61:05.

RE; New Floyd
Got it.
Once you get past the distortion on the first minute of The Embryo, it’s a pretty good ride.
