Slipstream is a video by Jethro Tull, recorded during the 1980 A tour, released in 1981. It was originally released on VHS, Capacitance Electronic Disc, and laserdisc, [2] and was released as a (bootleg) DVD in Brazil (as seen in the cover on the right) in 2003. [1] [3] It is also included in the (2004) bonus DVD edition of A . This bonus DVD was the only official release on DVD until it was released as part of the 40th anniversary box set of A in April 2021. [4]
The video shares its title with a song of the same name on the group's landmark 1971 album Aqualung .
Slipstream mixed the concert tour with the videos recorded and directed by David Mallett. London's Hammersmith Odeon was used for exterior scenes, but the main concert footage was actually from a performance at the Los Angeles Sports Arena (as heard on the Magic Piper ROIO), filmed in November 1980. The music videos are:
All tracks are written by Ian Anderson with additional music material from Eddie Jobson; arranged by Jethro Tull.
