Mick Abrahams Jazz-/Blues-Rock Combo Blodwyn Pig live im Beat Club am 25.10.1969!

English guitar player and singer Mick Abrahams left Jethro Tull in 1968 after some controversy with Tulls foreman Ian Anderson. Abrahams wanted more blues and jazz roots in Tulls music and so moved on to form Blodwyn Pig with saxophonist Jack Lancaster who often played two horns at once (seen in the Beat Club performance). The group recorded two albums through 1969/ 1970. Both of them already entered the Top Ten of the UK Album charts. Although they had the same heavy blues rock roots as the Yardbirds, Free or even Led Zeppelin, Blodwyn Pig turned to a more jazzier and experimental sound. Because Abrahams didn't care about the business side of music, Blodwyn Pig splitted and reformed several times during the years and recorded two more albums in the middle 1990s.

What the hell happened to Jack Lancaster? he played amazing, and wrote some of the coolest stuff and then poof, he was gone.

Always loved BP. True groundbreakers melding jazz with rock. Abrahams is a fantastic guitarist. My favorite Jethro Tull album is their first, the one with Abrahams.

Ron Berg was a killer drummer, right up there with Clive Bunker, Baker, Mitchell, Bonham, Moon, and Paice. When this tune moves into that rapid walking bass line it takes off like a rocket...kicks arse man. It that don't move ya....you've got nothing inside you.

[whizbangmusicwerks]

would someone explain to me why excellent drummers like this went away?

[dandamagetoo]
