Jethro Tull - Istanbul (2025)

Released on 10th September 1991, Jethro Tull’s 18th studio album, Catfish Rising, was the band’s first to feature keyboardist Andrew Giddings, who had replaced Martin Allcock. The record continues the hard rock and blues sound of Tull’s previous two LPs, Crest Of A Knave and Rock Island. The Catfish tour took in eighty-four dates, performed across fifteen countries between June and December ’91. Featuring shows in North America, Germany, the UK and most of the regular continental European destinations, unusually they also played five nights in Turkey, a less regular territory for rock bands to perform in during the nineties. Of the Turkish shows, four out of five took place in Istanbul, all played at the city’s Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Theatre, between 12th and 17th of July.
