Jethro Tull

On November 19, 1987, Jethro Tull took the stage at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, bringing their unique blend of progressive rock and folk to a captivated audience. By this time, they had just released the album 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, a project that marked a triumphant return to form for the band after several years of fluctuating popularity. This album features the hit 'Steel Monkey,' which became a staple of their live performances, showcased prominently in this concert. An interesting tidbit is that 'Crest of a Knave' went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance in a rather surprising twist, as it was released during a time when the band's style was evolving yet remained firmly rooted in their signature sound. This live performance is a testament to their enduring legacy and ability to engage audiences decades after their inception.
