Jethro Tull. Too Old to Rock n Roll: Too Young to Die! On vinyl from 1976. After a hard day of yard work I'm feeling a bit like the title, but relaxing now with this through HPs. Nice.

The first edition has better sound - as usual.

Just been on dead.net to look at the tracklist. I only know one of the concerts - the Alabama one - which is good but not stonking (eg Cornell the same month). What do you reckon? Worth buying?
