If Genesis was music for art school aristocrats, Yes for classical music purists and ELP for fans of pomp in all its bombastic glory, then Jethro Tull was prog rock for the everyman.

Maybe it's the band's genesis as a working blues band that makes them seem so approachable compared to those other bands, or simply the band's raving medieval persona. Either way, Jethro Tull isn't prog rock for the concert hall or the music chamber, this is rock and roll for the pubs of Sherwood Forest, full of busty bar-maidens overflowing from their dresses, ale being tossed about in slushing, spilling pints, fires roaring and popping in the stone hearths, and a band of lunatic minstrels entertaining the crowd.

And everything I love about the band is here in overflowing goblet amounts. Filmed during the bands Heavy Horses, tour in 1978, Live at Madison Square Garden, captures a band at arguably the peak of their feudal power, with a taxman's saddlebag worth of gold bullion as a back catalog including such show stopping albums as Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, and Benefit. read more at: TullJethro Tull
