Jethro Tull

In July 1986, Jethro Tull was touring in support of their album 'Crest of a Knave,' which had been released just a year prior. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, making Tull the first non-metal band to receive this honor. The performance captured in Budapest showcases the band's signature blend of progressive rock and folk influences, along with Ian Anderson's charismatic stage presence. Interestingly, this live recording comes at a time when Tull was navigating the changing musical landscape of the 1980s, yet they continued to resonate with fans through their unique sound and storytelling. "Fat Man," a staple in their live repertoire, reflects both their experimental spirit and lyrical depth, even amidst a backdrop of evolving rock traditions.
