Bursting Out
Encyclopedia
Bursting Out is a 1978 live album
by rock
band Jethro Tull
. It was recorded at various locations during the European Heavy Horses
tour of May and June 1978, but it is not certain where each track was recorded. As shows the introduction from Claude NOBS (founder of Jazz Montreux Festival), as well as the "thanks" given by Ian Anderson, it looks like this album has been recorded at the Bern Festhalle (Switzerland), on 28/5/1978. It is also known as
Bursting Out: Jethro Tull Live, Bursting Out — Live, and Live — Bursting Out.
A spelling error on the side of the original LP lists the title as "Busting Out".
Originally the CD was released in a single disc version in the United States, with three tracks ("Quatrain", "Sweet Dream" and "Conundrum") omitted, so it could fit on one CD, and a double set in the United Kingdom. In 2004, the full album was re-released as a digitally remastered 2-CD set.
