At least the director knew to focus on Glenn. I had the pleasure of getting to know him briefly in the 70's when around the time Paris broke up. He came to our apt several times and was the nicest guy. I remember asking him about the bass solo on Bouree as a bass player myself. He said he had forgotten how to play it. He came over several times over the next few months and we never pushed him on anything other than, want something to drink and we'd talk shop then a ton of other things. He even got to the point where he crashed on the couch one night as it was so late and we told him to just hit the sack here. Anyway to make very long story short, that next morning we were sitting around having a bite to eat and he said to me...you know I remember every note of Bouree but got so fucking sick of every fucking bass player asking how to play it so I started telling people I had forgotten it. I apologized for having asked him when we first met those months ago. He said grab your bass and we sat down and he showed me the entire solo. Fucking blew me away. When I heard he had died in Hawaii, I like all of us was very sad but felt it a bit more as I felt privileged as hell for him hanging out and then showing me the solo that one morning at the table. Fucking great guy and a loss.

In retrospect I think Jethro Tull started its decline when Glenn left the band. They managed Aqualung without him, but after that, they lost spirit and musical direction. As a person with no personal musical knowledge myself, I could tell that Cornick was a stand-out bass player who was key to the sound of that band.

There’s much to be learned here. Anderson once remarked that as a teenager, he wanted to be part of the music scene that had started in the 1950s . He liked what he saw, but didn’t know exactly what part he would play ? Wasn’t much of a singer , couldn’t master the drums or guitar . So he tried a few other instruments and eventually settled on the Flute. This isn’t an easy instrument to play either or a piece of cake to reach the level of skill he did. Nonetheless, he did and with perseverance the rest is history. The lesson here is to never give up at something .

Who in the world would give a dislike to this track?!?! ...the fools never die

[@frogandspanner]

I love the jazz-relaxed attitude of the drummer (Bunker?) - using his stick to scratch the back of his head [1:12]. I saw the band at the Leeds University Student Infectory in March '72. A great evening. In fact it was a great decade of top bands at affordable prices, and lots of cheap beer (and cider was 4p a pint!).

[@philippecordier5990]

Toujours aussi bon de les entendre , même des décennies après !

[@robertkeefer1552]

Jethro Tull is an awesome band. They are excellent live.

[@tedgegi155]

Happy Birthday today (12\30\21) to drummer Clive Bunker.

Nostalgie , quand tu nous tiens !

[@Improveng1]

Superb musicianship throughout the band.

[@pressureflipin1992]

Truly one of the all time great bass players. That solo is easily top 3

[@domenicocesaro735]

Brano immortale...grandi pilastri del progressive rock e non solo...non mi stanco mai di ascoltare sti mostri sacri. 😜😘❤️

[@elixtido1448]

I'd like to visit back there again for just a while.

[@claussaunte2303]

Who Else in the World could do This, nobody but Ian Anderson!

[@Mojorising1328]

You obviously are uneducated on Jazz, look up Bobbi Humphrey. She definitely played circles around Ian. I do enjoy Jethro Tull though in all fairness.

[@BassicVIC]

The stage art is just as intriguing as the music performance itself !!!

[@yanisgouzoumas2914]

best of the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.Hi from Greece.

[@roberttg5108]

The tune that ran through my head for years and years.

[@edfederoff2679]

Never mind that it's the studio version we're hearing, and multiple seconds out of sync - just watch the players... Glenn Cornick - one of the finest bass players ever. Martin B. in languid repose - blithely strumming away. Clive B. being the engine room - on a sparse but adequate kit - and ol' Ian being Ian - looking like he really IS playing both flute parts simultaneously! Man, the memories this brings back... Thank you for posting! Tre Bien! Merci!

[@alejandrofarieta2814]

I think the tv requested playback. But yes definitely this is the studio version. There's no one playing the 2nd flute...

[@libercracia2957]

Acojonante, cada vez que la escucho me emociona y eso me sucede desde que la escuché por primera vez en el 71. ❤❤❤

[@steffanhoffmann]

British music was untouchable. Best wishes 👍 🇬🇧

[@palmeriodemelas5018]

Bravissimi il Progressive Rock si arricchisce sempre di più di tante fusioni di generi musicali

[@Neonblue84]

When I hear the music I think of my father. He always tried to do the Ian Anderson stand on the song to impress me. RIP Dad, i miss you so much.

[@jacob7207]

I'm driving across northern Nevada while listening to this... This is amazing...

[@richardlee1972]

I was lucky enough to see these guys twice in small venues in the mid 1990s. Such a dynamic group.

[@juancarlosquintanabermejo9819]

Desde Cali Colombia saludos Ian un virtuoso como HAMELIM gracias por compartir esta Joya musical gran banda

[@tomreynolds9078]

Doesn't get any better than this Ian's a very talented musician

[@brianpage100]

Not only a killer flautist, but he has an awesome beard as well. Oh, and Cornick"s solo is great as well, RIP.

[@babycharliebrown]

Ben W. The Best. Not recognised by you or others actually!?!

[@davidharber6790]

Don't forget the 'brows' Ben!

[@jorgemartin5093]

Let me tell you. I was a fan of Jethro tull. They came to Buenos Aires in 1996 when i was in my top fanatism. I was starting studing transverse flute. But now that i know about flute... i was playing with soooooo much better sound than him in a few months of buying the instrument. Anyway i imitated him singing the notes with my voice over my playing to sound distorted. But he is not a good player. He recognized that his daughter teached him how to play some notes. I looked at his fingers and he made incorrect keys positions!!! There is no way he could be doing that so many years without anyone corrected him???? Its not that you can change the keys positions to make a note. The notes sound better in their correct positions. He always do the "F" NOTE BAD. LIKE HE IS DOING IT IN FAST PASSAGES WHEN HE IS EVEN PLAYING IT AS A LONGGGG NOTE STANDING THERE AND IT SOUNDS MUTED. Something similar he does with the little finger in his right hand to do a E he doent even press the footjoint to sound open and wide!! Any flutist will give me the reason!!! If you put your fingers as he does in an open hole flute simply the flute doesnt sound. Anyway i was a fan!! Im saying what nobody seems to appreciate. And i have red hair too!!

[@jorgemartin5093]

Yes. I think he got better sound with bamboo flutes like in "Roots to branches"

[@tacey505]

whoa! apples and oranges!

[@christervainio]

And drums sounding like drums. Great performance and song.👏👏👏👏👏

[@nonaubiz8939]

Man that brings back memories, saw them a number of times back in the day, never felt let down!

[@empath06]

never, ever have I ever heard of a better bass solo in my life. I wish it was longer.

[@peterskove3476]

Thank you so much !!! KZbin is life support for this old hippie, getting stronger everyday!, and I deeply appreciate all who post music especially.

[@eljoveninculto4380]

Hoy a mis 23 años recien conozco esta banda cuantos años sin poder escuchar estas melodias tan gloriosas para mis oidos

[@locoeditbreakdown5427]

Everything is perfect. So fantastic and then so groovy. Amazing

[@anagould3643]

Muy hermoso Gracias saludos cordiales desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷!

[@chrispychunks45]

What an inredible performance by the bass player doing his solo. Love it.

[@thomasn.3277]

This is over effing fifty years old and still gives me goosebumps!

[@gabyren4892]

Es ist immer noch so schön wie vor 100 000 Jahren! Merci ❤️

[@faustdownunder]

That bass solo will fascinate generations to come, I hope.

[@tuddler]

I played this on an old record player in a cellar at a house party in Sheffield in the mid 90s and it went down well. The words at the time was "that's rad man"

[@irysbrassens1239]

Pour une bourrée, Ian ne l'est pas pour le coup, tout ou presque le morceau, sur une jambe ! quel artiste ! quel groupe mythique ! merci encore

[@Migouelin]

This song is amazing, one classmate , a musician, told me at the time about JS Bach : "you put the back beat and you get jazz"

[@jansolo55]

Génial !!! Et quelle ligne de basse ! Masterpiece ...
