The Sound Music Challenge #75

 

In 1980, JETHRO TULL used live footage from a show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena as part of a long-form music video. What was the name of the video project?

 

ANSWER
The long-form video was titled "Slipstream." Although the concert footage was shot in Los Angeles, the story was set at London's Hammersmith Odeon venue, where the exterior footage was shot. "Slipstream" highlighted the more electronic, synthesizer-based sound of Jethro Tull's 1980 album, "A," originally intended as an Ian Anderson solo release. "Slipstream" was directed by David Mallet, who also helmed the groundbreaking "Ashes to Ashes" video clip for David Bowie.
