Jethro Tull 
Jethro Tull were a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock, folk melodies, blues licks, surreal, impossibly dense lyrics, and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting-edge of popular music by the end of the '70s. But no record store in the country would want to be without multiple copies of each of their most popular albums (Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Living in the Past), or their various best-of compilations, and few would knowingly ignore their newer releases.

Of their contemporaries, only Yes could claim a similar degree of success, and Yes had endured several major shifts in sound and membership by the '90s, while Tull remained remarkably stable over the same period. As co-founded and led by wildman/flutist/guitarist/singer/songwriter Ian Anderson, the group carved a place all its own in popular music.
. Initially playing blues rock and jazz fusion, the band later developed their sound to incorporate elements of hard rock and folk rock to forge a progressive rock signature.[3] The band is led by vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson, and has featured a revolving door of lineups through the years including significant members such as guitarists Mick Abrahams and Martin Barre, keyboardist John Evan, drummers Clive Bunker, Barriemore Barlow, and Doane Perry, and bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, John Glascock, and Dave Pegg.

The group first achieved commercial success in 1969, with the folk-tinged blues album Stand Up, which reached No. 1 in the UK, and they toured regularly in the UK and the US. Their musical style shifted in the direction of progressive rock with the albums Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play (1973), and shifted again to hard rock mixed with folk rock with Songs from the Wood (1977) and Heavy Horses (1978). After an excursion into electronic rock in the early-to-mid 1980s, the band won its first and only Grammy Award with the 1987 album Crest of a Knave. Jethro Tull have sold an estimated 60 million albums worldwide,[4] with 11 gold and five platinum albums among them.[5] They have been described by Rolling Stone as "one of the most commercially successful and eccentric progressive rock bands".

The last works as a group to contain new material were released in 2003, though the band continued to tour until 2011. Anderson said Jethro Tull were finished in 2014;  however, in September 2017 Anderson announced plans for a tour to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the band's first album This Was, and then record a new studio album in 2018. This was later clarified; the album will be an Anderson solo project, and is now scheduled for release in 2020[citation needed].
The reformed group -- now billed as "Ian Anderson and the Jethro Tull band" -- still performs live, and has announced tour dates into 2020. The current band line-up includes musicians who have been members of Anderson's solo band since 2012.


Jethro Tull - Chicago 1970
In 1970 Jethro Tull is in full musical change, moving from the blues of This Was to the folk-rock of Stand Up, to the hard-rock of Benefit, with the songs of the next album, Aqualung in mind. With this ongoing evolution they face the fourth tour in the USA (2 in 1969 and 2 in 1970). On August 16, 1970 I am at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, in the context of the "Blues from Chicago". This concert was broadcast by the WXRT-FM radio station (in fact there are many bootlegs), promoting the album Benefit, but also proposing "My God", which will be included in Aqualung.

he lineup included: My sunday feeling / My God / To cry you a song / With you there to help me / By kind permission of ... / Sossity: You're a woman-Reason fri waiting / Nothing is easy / For a thousand mothers / Dharma for one. Back from the USA, they were catapulted into the Festival of Wight (30 August). For the record as "shoulder group" there were the Cacti, a kind of "Supergroup" born from the ashes of the Vanilla Fudge, with Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice.… Of a whole Pop
