Jethro Tull

In July 1986, Jethro Tull performed live in Budapest at the MTK Stadion, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and folk influences. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, which marked a significant moment in their career, as it won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Interestingly, this live recording captures a band that was exploring new musical directions while maintaining their characteristic sound, as Ian Anderson's distinct flute work and engaging stage presence remained at the forefront. The 'Living In The Past' performance resonates as a historical touchstone, illustrating not just their musical evolution during the mid-'80s but also their ability to connect with fans in post-communist Hungary, a poignant moment reflecting both cultural and musical exchange.
