Live At AVO Session Basel (2008) DVD

A unique phenomenon in popular music history Jethro Tull have been and still are one of the most successful and enduring acts in British rock history and one of the best live performing acts on the world stage rivalling Led Zeppelin Elton John and even the Rolling Stones. With records like Aqualung and Thick Is A Brick (#1 US) they produced two superb concept records and became one of the most successful bands in progressive rock. Surprising really for a group whose more sophisticated and evolved stylistic extravagance was far from the pop and rock norm of the 70's... era. Jethro Tull's sound went from a sort of progressive blues with a bit of jazz over to real progressive rock alongside such diverse groups as King Crimson Genesis Camel The Nice Gentle Giant and Yes but is still influenced by world music and a mixture of diverse classical instruments - one of the most experimental Rock groups ever. Their music is characterised by the songs vocals and flute work of Ian Anderson who together with Martin Barre remains at the centre of a group of sometimes changing but highly capable indeed excellent musicians. Currently Doane Perry veteran Tull drummer of some 24 years experience together with John O'Hara on piano and accordion and David Goodier on bass guitar are to be found in the line-up delighting audiences and continuing the legacy of Tull's music with its rich variety and depth of expression wherever fans young and old want to hear rock folk jazz and classical inspired music for grown-ups. After forty years of ever growing success with now some 30-odd albums to their credit and sales totalling more than 50 million Jethro Tull are still performing typically more than a hundred concerts each year. Live At AVO Session Basel is with no doubt one of their best. This recording is really of a typical Tull show with a mixture of classic material from our repertoire particularly the earlier period.
