The album was recorded during the band's European [[Heavy Horses Tour]] in May/June of that year. ==Background== The exact date for every single song has not been made public, but the introduction by [[Claude Nobs]], most of "Flute Solo Improvisation", "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die", "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath" and "The Dambusters March" were recorded at the [[Festhalle]] in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]], on May 28, 1978. The Bern show was recorded on a [[Multitrack recording|24-track]] tape recorder, while the rest of the shows were recorded on a [[TEAC Corporation|TEAC]] [[TASCAM]] 80-8 eight-track recorder. Ian Anderson recalled going through "hours and hours" of recordings in order to select the best takes. Additional sweetening was done at Maison Rouge Studio in June 1978. <ref>{{cite book |last=Webb |first=Martin |author-link= |date=2018 |title="Heavy Horses" New Shoes Edition liner notes |publisher=Chrysalis |pages=24-27, 78 |chapter=The Berne Tapes |isbn=}}</ref> ==Release== A spelling error on the spine of the first US, Canada, Spain and Sweden LP pressings listed the title as "Busting Out". The album was later re-released as a double-disc CD in the UK and Europe. The original CD release in the United States was only one disc, with three tracks ("Quatrain", "Sweet Dream" and "Conundrum") omitted and some of the stage banter shortened to fit the 80 minutes running length. The double-disc 1990 CD version in the UK and Europe incorporated the first track, the introductions, in the song that followed. In 2004, the complete album was remastered and released worldwide as a two-disc set, with the introductions as separate tracks. A deluxe remixed edition was released June 21, 2024, incorporating new mixes of the Bern tracks that had been missing on the original album (but were released, albeit mixed by Jakko Jakszyk, on the "New Shoes Edition" of ''Heavy Horses'') for a complete representation of the live setlist, previously unreleased soundcheck recordings and a remix of the [[Live at Madison Square Garden 1978|Live at Madison Square Garden]] show, the latter also including the filmed footage on DVD. ==Track listing, original two-CD edition== {{Track listing | headline = Disc one | extra_column = Source | all_writing = [[Ian Anderson]], except where noted. | title1 = Introduction by Claude Nobs | writer1 = Claude Nobs | length1 = 0:50 | title2 = No Lullaby | length2 = 4:48 | extra2 = ''[[Heavy Horses]]'' (1978) | title3 = [[Sweet_Dream_(Jethro_Tull_song)|Sweet Dream]] | length3 = 6:30 | extra3 = Non-album single (1969) | title4 = [[Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day]] | length4 = 4:30 | extra4 = ''[[War Child (album)|War Child]]'' (1974) | title5 = Jack in the Green | length5 = 3:13 | extra5 = ''[[Songs from the Wood]]'' (1977) | title6 = One Brown Mouse | length6 = 3:53 | extra6 = ''Heavy Horses'' | title7 = A New Day Yesterday | length7 = 2:27 | extra7 = ''[[Stand Up (Jethro Tull album)|Stand Up]]'' (1969) | title8 = Flute Solo Improvisation / God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen / [[Bourrée in E minor|Bourée]] | note8 = [[instrumental]] medley | extra8 = ''Stand Up'' | writer8 = Anderson / Traditional, arr.
