Jethro Tull - Slipstream 2 DVD (1979-1980)

Slipstream was recorded during the 1980 A tour and mixed the concert tour with the videos recorded and directed by David Mallett. London's Hammersmith Odeon was used for exteriors, the main concert footage was actually from an American performance in LA, at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, in November 1980.

Videos:

• Dun Ringill - A video inspired by the Stormwatch album cover, filmed at a beach near Beachy Head.
• Sweet Dream - In this a vampire-themed homage to horror movies, Aqualung is pursued by a vampire and giant pink balloons. Meanwhile, a ballerina pirouettes (recalling A Passion Play), and a giant tarantula emits death rays. Luckily, a Nun supplies the right equipment to defeat the vampire.
• Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll - The elderly band is in a giant pinball machine, drinking their tea like the Alice in Wonderland tea party.
• Fylingdale Flyer - The band is in an air traffic control tower, when they see some impending disaster. The cover of A is taken from this video.
