In 1970 Jethro Tull played the Isle Of Wight Festival in front of 600,000 people. Earlier that year they had released their third album, Benefit, which had seen the introduction of a full time keyboard player to the band’s lineup. The set was drawn from across the three albums with popular tracks such as My Sunday Feeling, Dharma For One, Bourée and Nothing Is Easy and also featured My God, a track that would appear on the following year’s classic album Aqualung, probably their most famous release.

Nothing Is Easy is a true concert film, combining the classic performances from the festival with a new interview with Ian Anderson, specially shot for the film, and with backstage footage and original interviews from 1970 with Isle of Wight residents and fans attending the festival. Also included in the film is footage of the band’s appearance in the Rolling Stones’ Rock And Roll Circus performing A Song For Jeffrey with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath on guitar.

As a bonus feature on the DVD there is a photo gallery of 26 original pictures of Tull’s performance at the Isle of Wight taken by celebrated photographer Claude Gassian.
