Sunday Evening Video: Jethro Tull Live In 1977

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Jethro Tull’s breakthrough album, Aqualung, and as such, they are the cover feature of the latest issue of Prog Magazine. I got my copy direct from the UK, and I’ve been reading about the band, so I figured it’d be cool to run one of their concerts here in PopCult.

The show you see above was recorded at The Capitol Center, in November, 1977. This was NOT the Aqualung tour, but they do play several tracks from that album here. In fact, I happen to have the setlist handy, but I’m not sure if every song here made it into the video…
