Jethro Tull Live Performance of 'Songs From The Wood' at Sight And Sound

Venue: Sight And Sound Date: February 19, 1977

On February 19, 1977, Jethro Tull performed live at the "Sight And Sound" concert, showcasing their song "Songs From The Wood." This performance coincided with a pivotal moment in the band's career, as it followed the release of their eighth studio album, also titled *Songs From The Wood*, which was released just a few weeks earlier, on February 3, 1977. This album marked a stylistic shift, incorporating a more folk-inspired sound and emphasizing pastoral themes, influenced by British folk music and the band's signature progressive rock style. The concert is particularly noteworthy as it captures the band at the peak of their popularity during the late 1970s and highlights their dynamic live performances featuring elaborate arrangements and theatrical elements. Additionally, the *Songs From The Wood* album would go on to be one of their most celebrated works, further solidifying Jethro Tull's legacy in rock history.
