Jethro Tull, the only internationally successful progressive rock band, in whose music the flute plays a leading role, live on 15.08.1970 at the Beat Club!

Jethro Tull -- the British rock group with Scottish front man and flute player Ian Anderson. Best known for his tendency to stand on one leg while playing concerts, Anderson is also the man who introduced a classic instrument to rock music: the flute - especially the western concert flute. The song "With You There To Help Me" was released on the third Jethro Tull album "Benefit" in the spring of 1970. At that time the group had already moved from their rhythm & blues roots to progressive rock with Celtic music influences. And during the 70s and 80s Jethro Tull even turned from folk rock to a more hard rock orientated music style.
