Jethro Tull

In October 1979, Jethro Tull was deep into their 'Stormwatch' era, having released the studio album just a month prior. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a more mature sound that reflected the band's evolution over the years. It was notable for its lyrical themes, combining both environmental consciousness and personal introspection. The live recording from the Forum de Montréal captures their artistry during this transitional phase, where they were blending progressive rock with folk influences. Interestingly, the 'Stormwatch' album was recorded alongside some turbulence, as the band's lineup saw changes, making this performance a snapshot of a pivotal time. This concert is part of their ambitious North American tour, reinforcing their status as a prominent live act in the late '70s.
