In November 1983, when Jethro Tull performed at The Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ, they were promoting their album "Under Wraps," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant shift in the band's musical direction, incorporating more electronic elements and synthesizers compared to their previous work, reflecting the evolving landscape of rock music during the early '80s. The live recording captures the band's adaptation to this new sound, highlighting tracks like "Under Wraps #1" and the instrumental "Locomotive Breath." It's noteworthy that "Under Wraps" faced mixed reviews from fans and critics, as many long-time followers were accustomed to Jethro Tull's signature progressive rock and folk influences. The concert exemplifies a transitional period for the band, blending their classic style with contemporary trends of the time.
