Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Live Performance of Songs From The Wood and Hunting Girl from London
In May 1978, Jethro Tull was riding high on the success of their album "Songs from the Wood," released just months earlier in early 1977. This period marked a significant turning point for the band as they embraced a more folk-inspired sound infused with rock elements. During this live performance at Hammersmith Odeon in London, you could feel the energy buzzing; Ian Anderson's signature flute playing and theatrical stage presence captivate the audience. Interestingly, the album "Songs from the Wood" not only showcased their lyrical prowess but also symbolized a return to British folk traditions, which resonated deeply with fans. The tracks "Songs From The Wood" and "Hunting Girl" performed during this show highlight the band’s blend of heavy instrumentation and intricate storytelling, making it a pivot in their artistic journey.
