Review: Generally, lots of Tull fans discard most of what the band did after 1980, given that (a) they started toying with hi-tech synth-driven sound and (b) after giving up on synths, Anderson lost his voice, so nothing else matters anyway. And while I do tend to agree with the "b-part" of such an equation, the 1980-82 period works a-ok for me. Firt of all, especially on "Broadsword And The Beast", Tull managed to merge perfectly their "wooden" sound with sort of then-futuristic synths, which is - mind you - extremelly hard to do, and secondly, the songs are cool. Plain and simple, huh? So, not surprisingly, I find the 1982 tour pleasing as well. "No Way To... Slow Down" is, basically, a home-made CDR but actually beats hands down most of the full blown bootleg releases from the same period. It's a double CD clocking around 100 minutes and stands as very credible documentation of the "Broadsword" tour, with nice balance between new songs such as "Fallen On Hard Times", "Pussy Willow", "Seal Driver", etc, and classics from 1970 - 1979 era. The band sounds very tight and powerfull, I'd say much better than on transitional "A" tour... Plus the sound of "No Way To... Slow Down" deserves at least 7/10, maybe even an eighter (in a bootleg context). Also, slightly trivial, but non the less important to point out, this line up features Paul Burgess on the drums, and given that he never made it on an official release, it most definitely adds to the weight of the album. In conclusion, if you're after a 1982 live Tull bootleg, this is one from the upper half of the list.
