Originally released on video in 1994, A New Day Yesterday is a thoroughly entertaining 90-minute documentary celebrating Jethro Tull's first quarter-century. While only Anderson remains from the original line-up, with guitarist Martin Barre having joined as of their second album, part of the fun comes from watching more than a dozen members past and present coming together at a genteel reunion party to be interviewed and share reminiscences.

The DVD is also strong on concert performance and video excerpts, especially those from the band's most successful period (the codpiece-and-minstrelsy 70s stretch that yielded hit records such as Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, and Songs from the Wood), in addition to more recent items, including their rehearsals for a 25th anniversary reunion tour. DVD bonus materials feature seven of those performances (including "Teacher", "The Witch's Promise", and "Aqualung") in their entirety. --Sam Graham
