Jethro Tull and Phil Collins Perform Pussy Willow at The Prince's Trust Gala

Venue: Dominion Theatre Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: July 21, 1982

In July 1982, Jethro Tull was right in the midst of their re-emergence with the release of their album "Broadsword and the Beast," which had come out just a few months prior in April. This live performance at The Prince's Trust Gala alongside notable artist Phil Collins showcased the band's unique blend of rock and progressive elements, all while supporting a noble cause. The event marked a pivotal moment in Tull's career, as they were navigating changes in the music landscape during the early '80s. Interestingly, the performance of "Pussy Willow" encapsulates Tull's signature style, characterized by Ian Anderson's distinctive flute playing and charismatic stage presence, proving that even after years in the industry, they still had a compelling vigor that appealed to both old fans and newer audiences alike.
