Jethro Tull

In October 1989, Jethro Tull performed live at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, CT, delivering a captivating show that drew on a rich tapestry of their musical journey. Just a year prior, they released 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, which marked a significant turn in their sound, blending progressive rock with more contemporary elements. This album brought them back to commercial success, even winning a Grammy for Best Metal Performance—a bit ironic, considering Tull's flute-driven, folk-infused rock style! The 1989 setlist featured classic tracks like 'Thick as a Brick' and newer gems like 'Steel Monkey,' showcasing their evolution while staying true to their roots. It was a thrilling time when they were experimenting while still resonating with longtime fans. Watching this performance, you can truly feel the energy and dynamism of a band that had managed to remain relevant through the decades.
