Following throat problems suffered by Ian Anderson, which he developed singing the demanding Under Wraps material on Jethro Tull’s 1984 tour, Tull took a three-year break. The band returned in 1987 with Crest Of A Knave. They toured the album with "The Not Quite The World, More The Here And There Tour". It was the first time in the band's history that it had two electric guitar players on stage, when Anderson, albeit rarely, played rhythm guitar. The live jaunt was a success and among the shows the group played, their date at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia was among the finest. Performed on 25th November ’87, and recorded for live FM broadcast, the show was deemed by fans and critics alike as one of Tull’s best concerts of the 1980s.
