By the mid-1970s, Jethro Tull were selling multiple nights out at venues like the LA Forum and New York's Madison Square Gardens. They were dubbed "the world's biggest band" and could have given Led Zeppelin a run for popularity in America. Prog 149 explores this phenomenon as Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and more tell the story of how Jethro Tull broke America.

 

Elsewhere, Gentle Giant discuss how they dealt with the onset of punk rock in the story of The Missing Piece, former VdGG saxophonist David Jackson lifts the lid on life within the band and beyond, and Devin Townsend recalls the tumult surrounding the making of 1998’s Infinity album.

 

Other interviews/articles/reviews include Vennart, Elbow, Jane Getter and Randy McStine.
