Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Live Performance of Strange Avenues at Hamilton Copps Coliseum
In the fall of 1989, Jethro Tull was in the midst of a significant phase in their career, having released the album 'Crest of a Knave' just a year earlier in 1987, which saw them returning to the forefront of rock music. This recording, 'Strange Avenues Live In Hamilton,' captures the band during a transitional period, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and folk influences. Interestingly, 'Crest of a Knave' garnered a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, a notable feat for a band often associated more with the rock and folk scenes. By the time of this performance at Copps Coliseum, Jethro Tull was adapting to evolving musical landscapes while maintaining their distinctive style. The echoes of their earlier hits still lingered, making performances like this resonant with both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
