Thick as a Brick - Live in Iceland is a live album by Ian Anderson , the former front man of the progressive rock group Jethro Tull .

History of origin

Jethro Tull's concept album Thick as a Brick was released in 1972 and is now considered a progressive rock classic. Exactly 40 years later, Ian Anderson, now without Jethro Tull, published Thick as a Brick 2 , which continues the concept of the original in terms of content and music. During the tour that followed, both albums were performed in their entirety, and a performance in Reykjavík was recorded in image and sound.
