Jethro Tull

In April 1972, Jethro Tull was riding high on the success of their iconic album 'Thick as a Brick,' released just weeks before this live performance in Norfolk, Virginia. This album marked a defining moment for the band, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and folk elements, anchored by Ian Anderson's distinctive flute-playing and theatrical stage presence. The live recording captures the essence of Tull's innovative spirit, and interestingly, 'Thick as a Brick' was presented as a single song split across two sides of the album, mimicking the flow of a live performance. The band's commitment to artistry was evident throughout this tour, as they often delivered elaborate shows that blurred the lines between concert and theater, making this particular performance all the more memorable.
