[toskoramone]

who is the original author of this song? i don't assume it's Ian himself, or it would have been on 'This Is' right?

I surely have. They can be seen on the Jethro Tull website.

Also, Glenn Cornick is using a 1962 Jazz bass here. Look at the rolling stone's 'rock and roll circus' performance by JT, you'll see cornick is using the same bass but the headstock is reversed!, (tuner keys are upside down). Cornick didn't like the Jazz neck, (plus the frets were worn), so he switched it out for a P-bass neck.

Guitar cabs, (usually 4x12"), are usually alot thinner than bass cabs. I have a P-bass and I've tried playing through guitar cabs = awful tone.  Do you still have those pics!?

I think it makes no difference but don't know for sure. Saw Tull twice in Copenhagen, 1969 and 1970. 10. jan. opener for Experience, the day after this Stockholm performance. Took 4 pics of Cornick.

Look up 'Mitch Mitchell drum solo' and you'll see it's Hendrix playing this same show later on after this very Tull opening act. Glenn Cornick is playing bass in this video where Hendrix later plugs in and plays guitar in the very same amp/stack. I still don't understand how you can interchange instruments with the same cab?? (Bass should be deeper than guitar cab).
