Jethro Tull

In the late 1970s, Jethro Tull had just released their album 'Stormwatch' in 1979, featuring a blend of rock and folk influences that painted a lush, atmospheric landscape. The live recording from November 30, 1979, captures the band at a vibrant crossroads, as they transition into a more mature sound, while still embracing their progressive rock roots. Interestingly, 'Stormwatch' marked the end of an era for the band, with its themes reflecting a sense of environmental and social consciousness that was becoming increasingly relevant in the late 70s. Watching this performance brings alive the energy and creativity of Tull during this period, as they navigate live renditions of tracks that would soon be staples in their evolving discography. The 1980 concert in Sweden brilliantly showcases their elaborate stage presence and Ian Anderson's charismatic performances that have made them iconic.
