Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull Live in Toronto Performing A New Day Yesterday
On June 4, 1972, Jethro Tull performed live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto during their iconic 'Thick as a Brick' tour. Just before this performance, they had released the 'Thick as a Brick' album earlier that year, a whimsical yet profound concept piece that was received with critical acclaim and showcased their unique blend of rock, folk, and progressive influences. The album's ambitious single-track format, coupled with its satirical take on the music industry, really set the stage for what would become a hallmark of their live performances. This specific concert highlighted Tull's dynamic stage presence and musical prowess, earning a reputation for their high-energy shows and a sound that's both intricate and accessible. Fans still treasure this period in the band's history as a high point of the early 70s rock scene.
