Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Performance of Rock Island Live at Karl Diem Hall, Wurzburg
In 1989, Jethro Tull was in a unique phase of their career, post the release of their album "Crest of a Knave." This album, which dropped in 1987, showcased a bluesier sound compared to their earlier folk-prog roots. It notably won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, marking a significant moment for the band as they entered the late '80s. The live recording on October 7, 1989, at the Carl-Diem-Halle in Würzburg captures a dynamic period where the band was mixing classic tracks with newer material during performances. Ian Anderson’s distinctive flute playing and engaging stage presence were at the forefront, keeping the audience enthralled. It's fascinating how Tull, even while evolving their sound, continued to keep their legacy alive with powerful live shows like this one.
