Jethro Tull

In the late 1970s, Jethro Tull was riding high on the success of their progressive rock sound, blending heavy themes with intricate musicality. The live recording of "Heavy Horses" captured on November 30, 1979, showcases the band's unique blend of rock and folk influences, reflecting their artistic evolution. Prior to this specific performance, Tull had released the album "Heavy Horses" in 1978, which marked the end of a trilogy that also included the critically acclaimed "Songs from the Wood". An interesting gem about this period is the album's exploration of rural life, highlighted by its enchanting melodies and poetic lyrics. The remix for this video by Steven Wilson adds a fresh layer, breathing new life into the performance, making it resonate with both long-time fans and newcomers alike. It's a beautiful testament to Tull's enduring legacy in the world of music.
