Jethro Tull

In November 1978, Jethro Tull was riding high on the success of their album 'Heavy Horses,' released earlier that year. This album marked a distinctive turn towards a folk-inspired sound, deeply resonating with fans and showcasing the band's eclectic style. Interestingly, 'Heavy Horses' came just before their ambitious 1979 tour, which is highlighted in the live recording of 'Dark Ages.' During this period, frontman Ian Anderson was increasingly embracing themes of nature and storytelling within their music, a reflection of both personal philosophies and broader socio-environmental concerns. The energy of the live performance captures a unique phase in Tull's evolution, blending their progressive rock roots with more acoustic elements, creating a captivating experience for audiences across North America.
