Jethro Tull rocks the Tower Theater on the Crest of a Knave tour! Songs from the Wood and Living in the Past – November 25, 1987

Send us Fan MailThe Concert Room features one of the greatest recording and live acts in music! Jethro Tull rolled in to The Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA for a two nightstand, on the “The Not Quite the World, More the Here and There Tour” supporting the Album Crest of a Knave. The second night at the Tower was simulcast/recorded on FM stations for the King Biscuit Flower Hour and broadcast to cities across the U.S. Once again, Philly is chosen for this honor and the Tower Theater, due to its beautiful acoustics, was top of the list for many artists when choosing where to record live albums as it captures the essence of a concert experience but it’s clear enough to pick up on all of the details of the sound.As a result, these Tower shows are among the best on this tour. Tull was crisp, tight and sprinkled the Setlist with a variety of songs from their history, showcasing their incredible musicianship on stage. We open with Micheal Tearson of WMMR introducing the band & the recording that night, with Tull opening the evening with a stellar performance of “Songs from the Wood”. The second song is “Living in the Past” from their second album which is phenomenal! Links;Full King Biscuit Flower Hour show – Tower Theater, 11/25/1987 https://youtu.be/w3xUuXTOGyw?si=LnzH9ZMsSJushIybJethro Tull - The Official Website of the Legendary Classic Rock Band
