Jethro Tull

In July 1970, Jethro Tull was on the rise as a prominent rock band, following the release of their acclaimed album "Benefit." This album was released just a few months prior to the Tanglewood concert, generating significant attention for the band with hits like "Nothing Is Easy" and "We Used to Know," both performed during the live recording. The concert itself showcased the band's distinctive blend of progressive rock and folk elements, exemplified by Ian Anderson's unique flute playing and theatrical stage presence. Notably, "Dharma for One," featured in the setlist, included a drum solo that highlighted the virtuosic skills of Clive Bunker. The Tanglewood concert is often remembered for its vibrant energy and the band's developing sound, marking a transformative period in their early career, as they began to gain international acclaim.
