This is just sad man, like....shit! Had this been in the 60's......that would be a different story! It looks like Jethro Tull is one step away from singing on the streets! They were powerful man! Now these blokes sitting there don't care for them or their music!
What happened to the vintage Ajax drums Clive used on the original version? They sounded great with awesome sounding snare drum. If he doesn´t used them, I'll buy them.
Good Lord! I learned so much from this album! I got to see Glen Cornick and Clive Bunker around '75 or so when they were playing with Bob Welch in Paris. It was on a bill with Be-bop Deluxe and Golden Earring at an old place with a dirt floor in Woodinville, Washington called the Gold Creek Dome. A local FM station (KISW, I think) sponsored shows out there for awhile. Does anyone else remember this?
Oh, come on,... Mick is really great, but Martin is too. And I don't think Mick's style would have lent it self to the way Anderson later took the band - he's a blues guy (albeit, a great blues guy!)
Love Clive Bunker! All those ghost notes! While I think all eras of J Tull have their great moments, and depending on how the mood strikes, will listen to a large majority of any of their stuff, THIS is fantastic. It's so low key and subtle. Imagine if they took over as the current version of Tull.
Wow, where and when was this!? I never thought I'd ever see the original members back together, I've been waiting almost 40 years! I thought Ian and Mick couldn't stand each other?
@clarkewi it sounds really jazzy light and airey ian said when he taught himself to play the flute he used the wrong fingerings and had to learn over some of those wrong fingerings could be used for ultra high notes i dont know if he wants to be bothered with that he met roland kirk at the newport jazz festival thats who he got the singing into the flute thing .
@spacepatrolman The fact that Ian even knew about Rashan Roland Kirk in 1967 shows extraordinarily hip taste. Ian's "Seranade" plays in a different key, at a different tempo with vastly different voicings. I'm sure Rashan loved it - Ian's version still stands up tall. I'm a veteran of several concerts at the LA forum where Zep, Who, Hendrix and a very short list of other virtuoso's played Ian was in the same league as Hendrix. He really delivered the goods - a favorite of a very fickle crowd.
@spacepatrolman the last ed sullivan show had roland kirk but its never been shown in reruns before that he performed in a shopping mall where I heard him
That's it !!! Early jazz-rock really. Remember Jack and Ginger were playing jazz before Eric came in too. Mick was the instrumental figure in this line-up but all sound great ! Thank you
@thebones have YOU ever seen a flute played in a band that is supposed to be amplified without a microphone or a bug attached to it? well you have now, they are fucking miming to a recording done earlier and the crowd is not even interested in them its all staged.
man if id been at this bar and these guys started playing i would have soiled myself and freaked out the entire time. hard to believe this itself is nearly ten yrs old now. this was , was one of the first lp's i ever bought back in the 80s. right on!
nice version, normally i dont like too much watch groups or artist in old days comparing what they did before, but this jazz or rithm & blues of whatever this is is very good, cheers!
It's amazing. They're better than anyone out there today. Sad commentary on the shambles the music scene is in. The new bands should be ashamed of themselvs. They could no cut this type of music than pick their nose.
Great! Actually a bit better than the current version. Martin and co do their best of course, but the original band were made to play this song. Just rediscovered Mick Abrahams on Youtube. An excellent blues guitarist and singer. Glenn seems to be having a great time with this.
