Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Live Performance of Steel Monkey in Sao Paolo 1990
In September 1990, Jethro Tull was on a wave of renewed creativity, influenced by their then-recent album, "Crest of a Knave," which had released in 1987. This album was pivotal as it marked their first Grammy Award win, showcasing a shift in their musical style while still holding onto their quintessential progressive rock roots. By the time of the live performance of "Steel Monkey" in São Paulo, Brazil, the band was riding high on their successful tour, which introduced the electric sounds that characterized their late '80s work. Interestingly, this period saw Tull embracing more dynamic arrangements, reflecting in their performances. The Ginásio do Ibirapuera venue buzzed with energy, and this concert was a significant highlight, capturing the blend of rock and folk influences that made Jethro Tull uniquely engaging.
