39 years ago, Jethro Tull played their first show at the Civic Center. This was on the Songs from the Wood tour, bringing a marriage of folk rock and hard rock to a sold-out Portland crowd. Mandolins and lutes joined guitars drums and flutes to bring back some ancient magic along with the awesome prog, dude.

This live TV performance from 1977 starts with great madrigal harmonies and is led by the great Ian Anderson "with kitchen prose and gutter rhymes" into  kick-ass classical jam!

Join us tonight at 6:20 for live Jethro Tull on the WBLM Mini-Concert!

Can't find a setlist from the first CCCC show...but we did find one from 6 years earlier at the Expo.
