Bursting Out, Jethro Tull’s 1978 live double album, captures the band’s electrifying performances during their European Heavy Horses Tour in May and June of that year, showcasing a lineup including Ian Anderson on vocals and flute, Martin Barre on guitar, John Glascock on bass, John Evan on keyboards, and Barriemore Barlow on drums. Recorded across multiple venues such as the Festhalle in Bern, Switzerland, and the Walter Köbel Halle in Rüsselsheim, Germany, the album features classics like “Aqualung” and “Locomotive Breath” alongside newer material from Heavy Horses. With its raw energy and polished production (refined through hours of take selection) it reflects the band’s honed stage chemistry and adaptation to a shifting rock landscape.
