Jethro Tull

In the late '80s, Jethro Tull was navigating a fascinating phase of their career. By the time they played live in New Haven on October 31, 1989, they had recently released the album 'Crest of a Knave' in 1987, which marked a significant return to form for the band after a period of fluctuating success. Interestingly, this album not only showcased their progressive rock roots but also won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, highlighting their versatility. The band members featured in this performance, including Dave Pegg and Doane Perry, brought fresh energy to their well-known Celtic influences. The live performance of 'The Pine Marten's Jig / Drowsy Maggie' captures the essence of Tull's intricate storytelling and musical interplay, proving that even after two decades, they still delivered riveting live experiences.
