Ian Anderson in 1978.
Was Jethro Tull at the peak of their powers? 
I was only 16 but happened to be blessed to see them that year in Arizona doing a set quite similar to this one and they were to put it bluntly, like a tightly oiled machine operating on all eight cylinders. I don't think even to this day I ever witnessed a band as tight as they were that night. This show from Berlin is a gem, it appears to be a slightly rare one that not a lot of people own, it's an FM broadcast if I remember correctly, I may be wrong on that but the sounds excellent and the show, well, as I said, Tull in 1978. It may never have gotten better. Set list is here. Link. Note this is not an official release and is suitable for trading. 

SWEET DREAM
English gentlemen ya know.
