Living with the Past is a live album by Jethro Tull. The first half (first LP of the 2019 vinyl reissue) contains material from the Hammersmith Apollo performance on 25 November 2001[1] and features songs from different eras of Tull's history as well as some pieces from Ian Anderson's solo albums: "The Habanero Reel", "The Water Carrier" (DVD only) from The Secret Language of Birds and the instrumental "In the Grip of Stronger Stuff" from . Aside from "Cheerio" (the conclusion from the Hammersmith concert), other recordings are collected in the second half.

The CD and DVD both include large chunks of the Hammersmith concert, but the selection is not identical: "The Habanero Reel" and "In the Grip of Stronger Stuff" only appear on the CD, while "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Thick as a Brick", "Beside Myself" (bonus track), "Hunt by Numbers", "Bourée", "The Water Carrier", "A New Day Yesterday", "Budapest" and "New Jig" are all exclusive to the DVD. Also played at the gig, but available on neither format, are "Set-Aside" (another Anderson solo track) and "Pibroch (Cap in Hand)".[2]

Some of the additional recordings such as the acoustic session also appear in both formats. The DVD has some video effects overlaid on top of the performances, sometimes also mixing in footage from open air concerts (combined with the audio from the Hammersmith Apollo).
