Jethro Tull – Around The World Live – Eagle Vision – 4 DVD 392 minuti 04-06 -2013
Se volete farci un pensierino, a differenza del box di C S N & Y, in uscita presunta il 27 agosto non si ancora in quale formato, questo è certo, certissimo, anzi sicuro. Quindi se volete iniziare a fare i vostri calcoli di budget, tenete conto che a fine maggio sono in uscita anche il box di Wings Over America su cui vi aggiornerò nei prossimi giorni e, probabilmente a giugno, il cofanetto quadruplo per il 40° Anniversario dall’uscita di Brothers And Sisters dell’Allman Brothers Band, con il disco rimasterizzato, un secondo CD di inediti di studio e un concerto completo al Winterland negli ultimi due dischetti, senza essere costretti, una volta tanto, a comprare confezioni esagerate con vinili e libri, a prezzi assurdi.

Come vedete è un misto di materiale edito ed inedito, comunque molto interessante, dovrebbe avere un prezzo abbastanza basso, intorno, ma non ne sono certo, ai 30 euro (forse anche meno). Per sei ore e mezza mi sembra un prezzo più che ragionevole.
Alla prossima.
