Eddie Jobson and Jethro Tull Live Performance of Slipstream

Date: November 30, 1979

In the electrifying live recording from November 30, 1979, Jethro Tull was riding the wave of their album 'Stormwatch,' which had just been released that same year. This phase marked a time of experimentation for the band, blending progressive rock with folk influences—a signature that set them apart. Eddie Jobson, known for his virtuosic skills on the violin and keyboards, was part of the lineup during this concert, contributing richly to that layered sound. Interestingly, 'Stormwatch' was not just another album; it was the last studio endeavor featuring the classic lineup before they plunged into various member changes. Their live performances during this time were renowned for their theatrical flair and intricate musicianship, drawing in fans who cherished both the musical and dramatic experience. It’s a fantastic snapshot of a band evolving before our very eyes.
