THE TOUR
Jethro Tull's "Stormwatch" tour was in support of their album "Stormwatch," released in 1979. This album marked the end of an era for the band, being the last to feature the classic late 1970s lineup. "Stormwatch" was a progressive rock album with folk and hard rock influences, reflecting concerns about the environment, oil, and technology.
The tour itself started in 1979, following the release of the album. It was significant because it featured music from the "Stormwatch" album, which was darker and more complex than some of their earlier work. The stage show and performances during this tour were known for their high energy and the skilled musicianship of the band members.
Ian Anderson, the band's flautist and vocalist, was the frontman during the tour. The lineup also included key members like Martin Barre on guitar and John Evan on keyboards. Tragically, two members associated with this era of the band, bassist John Glascock and keyboardist John Evan, faced health issues, with Glascock passing away later in the year due to heart problems.
The "Stormwatch" tour represented a pivotal moment in Jethro Tull's career, signaling a transition into a new phase. After this tour and album, the band would undergo several lineup changes and shifts in musical style in the following years.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
