Jethro Tull

In September 1995, Jethro Tull was deep into their 'Roots to Branches' tour, showcasing their latest album, which had been released that same year. 'Roots to Branches' marked a significant moment for the band, as it saw a return to their progressive rock roots with a fresh twist, blending various influences like Eastern music and Celtic sounds. The live recording of 'Beside Myself' captures the essence of this transitional period, highlighting Ian Anderson's unique flute playing and charismatic stage presence. Interestingly, this album and tour came after a decade marked by various lineup changes, yet the band had managed to retain their signature sound while experimenting with new elements. This performance at the Royal Court Centre in Nottingham exemplifies their dynamic stage energy, a testament to their resilience and evolution in the music scene.
