Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Live Performance of Thick As A Brick and Level Pegging
In July 1986, Jethro Tull performed 'Thick As A Brick / Level Pegging' at the Inselwiese in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, a time when the band was well-entrenched in their progressive rock legacy. Just before this performance, the band had released 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, which marked a significant moment as it won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1989, making Tull the only band to win a metal category Grammy despite not being a metal band. This live recording showcases their deep roots in rock interspersed with folk elements, which have defined their unique sound. With Ian Anderson's distinctive flute playing and charismatic stage presence, it’s a captivating glimpse of a band comfortably straddling the line between tradition and innovation.
