Jethro Tull

In 1988, Jethro Tull celebrated their 20 years in the music scene with a tour that truly showcased their artistic evolution. By this time, they had released the album 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, which marked a significant moment in their career as it brought them a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. During the live recording at the Sommer Arena in Vienna, the band delivered powerful performances of 'Cross Eyed Mary' and 'Nothing is Easy', both classics that reflect their unique fusion of rock, folk, and progressive influences. It’s fascinating to think how, just a couple of years prior, they had been revitalizing their sound while also incorporating new elements, like a more contemporary rock vibe. The energy and chemistry visible in this performance highlight not just their musical prowess but also their enduring connection with fans across generations.
