Jethro Tull Live Performance of Big Riff and Mando in Wurzburg, Germany

Venue: Carl-Diem-Halle Location: Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany Date: October 7, 1989

In 1989, Jethro Tull was riding the wave of their continued evolution, rooted deeply in classic rock yet never afraid to experiment. They had just released 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, an album that marked a significant comeback and even won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, a nod to their transformative sound. By the time of this live recording on October 7, 1989, at Carl-Diem-Halle in Würzburg, the band was blending hard rock with folk elements seamlessly – a hallmark of their style. It’s interesting to note that the 1989 tour also showcased their ability to engage audiences with both their more recent work and beloved classics. Such concerts captured the essence of Tull's live performances, filled with energy and that unique flair which made them legends. A great reminder that music is often best experienced in person, isn't it?
