Jethro Tull

On February 19, 1977, Jethro Tull performed "Thick As A Brick" live for the BBC program "Sight and Sound." This recording came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Songs from the Wood," which had been launched earlier that year, in January. "Songs from the Wood" marked a significant creative shift for the band, embracing a more folk-inspired style while continuing to showcase their signature progressive rock elements. The performance highlights the band's rich instrumentation and Ian Anderson's dynamic stage presence. During this period, Tull was experiencing a resurgence in popularity, partly due to their innovative live performances. Furthermore, the concert was notable for its theatricality and the way it captured the band's ability to merge rock music with storytelling, characteristics that are hallmarks of their work.
