Clive Bunker the human machine gun. This bloke is something else.

[@Revolution1117]

Clive was and is still one of the most under-rated drummers in Rock. Together with Glenn Cornick on bass they made up a top-notch rhythm section. This line-up, with also John Evans on keys, and of course Martin Barre on his Les Paul, was easily the best band Ian Anderson had assembled for Jethro Tull, IMO.

[@leesaunders1930]

@Revolution1117 I agree what a top line up. However for bass I do prefer John Glascock when he was with Tull for a short tenure before he passed away which was and is a tragic loss of talent. Glenn Cornick was fantastic but in my opinion not as technical. I'm more than happy listening to both periods of Tull.

[@hoffer54]

Clive Bunker is a machine! And of course Ian Anderson, wild man genius!

[@tovarisch2788]

I never understand why Bunker isn't in the top tier of rock drummers.

[@VickersDoorter]

Nearly 55 years ago. Extraordinary performance.

[@fourwaykey23]

I forgot how ass kicking this song was . Thank you lord for letting me witness this back in the 70’s. This Was … album. Clive !!!!

[@serafinrodriguez2637]

Que joya!!

[@davidmontgomery5047]

Clive is Killing It !!! Man is He Unrated

[@thomasmazur6916]

I saw them that year. Excellent show. Excellent group.

[@vazouras01]

Wow!!! Just, Wow!!!

[@michaelkutulas8878]

Wow... Clive Bunker! What timing! What Control! What Fantasy!!! And all the skills to bring that fantasy to life!!! Yet, even with all that, some of his simplest work shows what an incredible groove-master he is too, one of my favorites being 'Beggars Farm' from 'This Was'! Definitely one of the absolute best!

[@YoungsVlog]

worthy f'n drum solo

[@leesaunders1930]

Of course it is, it's bloody Clive Bunker afterall.

[@Eaglesmere]

I haven't seen any better . He's in his 70's now and still kicks ass.

[@richarber1856]

The very best Tull line-up .... enough said !!

[@josephcomuniello964]

Phenomenal days.. loved this Band!!!✌️✌️✌️✌️😢

[@ogrebattle22763]

Clive Bunker... one of the greatest.... the man is a human Octopus.... put drum sticks between his toes & he'd still be able to play....

[@camronbay1]

Absolutely this band is full of so much energy.

[@WildBill-t5m]

Between Tull and the Who at the Isle of Wight in 1970 I would have been blown away wish I was there

[@DavidGASFilho]

The performance of the group is SUPER.

[@motherfromwayback]

Ol Clive friggin rockin those drums. Definitely 1 of the best.

[@rodneymcgough9456]

My uncle Jason would be flipping out to see this. He was a drummer from the 70's and Bunker was one of his favorites. And he always saw him as the drummer for Jethro.

[@ironhorse1962]

Thank you! Clive Bunker on drums.

[@sevenstarsofthedipper1047]

He was the greatest rock drummer IMO. I got Living in the Past as a Christmas gift back in 71. I have never heard anyone so fast on a snare drum as Clive on Dharma for One. I am now almost 70.

[@Eaglesmere]

​@sevenstarsofthedipper1047 He's # 1 in my book also . Ian Anderson really didn't deserve Clive & Glenn . Throw in Martin too ! They were all great 👍! After Aqualung I didn't like the direction Ian took them .

[@mikewiltshire9121]

I called it quits on them after Thick as a Brick

[@dLight153]

This may be the best drum solo I have ever seen / heard.

[@sapristioca1]

Toda mi vida oyendo este tema...en la época de los casettes imaginaba cómo podían tocar así...y ahora lo veo: sigue pareciéndome magistral.

[@dtchinacat3973]

Love it: first album Kicks Ass!

[@motherfromwayback]

I can watch this over and over. Has to be one of the best live recordings ever.

[@williamjohnbedford5776]

Totally agree mate, I find myself watching it over and over and over again, just amazing music, everyone dialled in, one of the ABSOLUTELY BEST LIVE RECORDINGS OF DHARMA. CLIVE BUNKER, WELL ......

[@liamoconnor9487]

I used to go to as many Tull gigs as I could; get as close to the stage as possible and just stare at Clive, all night. I loved to watch his style...and I picked up quite a few tips for my own drumming from him.

[@texmackenzie]

my favourite drummers growing up - clive, ginger & aynsley

[@motherfromwayback]

I was 8 when this was recorded. I missed some of the best music ever produced. Can't go back, and there are no new musicians that understand or are capable too produce this music.

[@roy_for_real2674]

Birth Of Joy, Dewolff, White Hills, Navarone

[@gerardgough9757]

Tull could rock- play this every day- do it!!! Thanks to Tull!!

[@mh-ez8ls]

That's what I call a drum solo. And the Jam Band section between 3:21 an 5:29 is FIRE!

[@crackerjack3359]

Saw them in Hull in 1969. I had just read 'Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit' playing ' This Was' and 'Stand up'. Brilliant so fresh and different then and now.

[@Nobarkus]

Saw them in 69 too at the Fillmore West.

[@Eaglesmere]

Tull in Hull😊! Pretty cool.

[@lesliegprice6652]

I was there original Tull wonderful ❤

[@dangavel1283]

Nah NOT the original, Mick Abrahams had left by then .I saw this show and their big debut at the nat jazz and blues festival in 1968. IMO they were better when he was onboard, but then I went off the band once they became more prog and I discovered Ian Anderson had copped his breathy flute playing style from Roland Kirk.

[@lesliegprice6652]

@dangavel1283 of course you are right , it was a long time ago 🙏

[@juventinosanchez6572]

No más limpiese los oídos que Jethro tull no escuchen lo profesional y que voz de Anderson y todo su super grupo 100 % profesionales los quiero ❤

[@TheLastOilMan]

There is prog and then there is Tull ! Stupendous !

[@ricardocc8755]

A magic time✨

[@geoffreydowen5793]

[@taffyjones281]

Watching in 2024, was watching this live in1970 .

[@theodorus45]

In their best line up.

[@ashratempel5094]

Never gets old.

[@graemeanderson-n9g]

when drum solo's took up a whole side of two disc vinyl..classic

[@Joshualbm]

Clive's left had is really interesting to watch. He's definitely got a unique way of holding the stick.

[@JohnnieKrepper]

Fantastic

[@nonoodleno]

I still love the Jethro. But drum solos are certainly a thing of the 20th century 🤗

[@orazioscardace911]

Energia pura 🙌✌️🙌✌️✌️👍

[@bp42357]

I’ve never even seen Neil Peart do some of this stuff and he’s a master on the drums.

[@osvaldotangir]

Magnífico bajista!

[@leonardodaria7370]

Awaome🎉

[@gabrieljoseph-bq5ik]

The original Tull rhythm section definitely was their best

[@zopilotepurpura9476]

Gigantes!🎉

[@Misserbi]

I think this song remembers the difficulties in find it and when you decide to return to it all the contrversies you forgot surrounded it in the first place. It is a step everyone takes and the nerve you have to stick to truth.

[@eduardorogeliorodriguez7012]

Bellisimo

[@radiolalumbre4048]

Que brutalidad!!!

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

Since over 50 years i heard this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I don't know this song, when i'm thinking about jt.

[@perugiaify]

Glen Cornick, awesome.

[@bau6078]

Old hippie peace love and understanding ❤

[@lesterleland]

A+ If there is that sort of thing.

[@neilritson7445]

When music was scary!!!

[@louisehenault817]

❤❤❤

[@richardbartolo2890]

As really good as this is, I still like the original instumental from the This Was album, I always felt Jethro Tulls unique & original sound came from Glen Cornick and Clive's Bunkers rhythm section those guys fit together like a hand in a glove. Clive's Drumming is really fluid and creative. I always felt once the original members of any creative band quit or get fired it's just not the same band.

[@baconsandwichbaconsandwich727]

imagine him on neal perts kit

[@papazhu2023]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@gilbertoantoniomartins1323]

Clive é foda

[@aacallison1535]

My god.

[@rainerschulz7372]

Mindblowing Band. From me very underrated in the 70s. Sorry!!!

[@boudiccamarchestorome9475]

Clive Bunker and Keith Moon > the most natural untrained drum wizards ever.

[@ilanlilo9423]

Clive bunker isn’t a human,he is an octopus!!!

[@jasonchase6566]

Grew up to jt,new 2 me

[@robertduda6336]

Would have been a nice touch at Woodstock and maybe even more exposure, but alas, wasn’t meant to be. Great lineup, unfortunately not long before the personal issues came to the fore. Glenn off to Wild Turkey and Clive getting married after thrashing on Aqualung. Great memories of a raw rocking bygone era.

[@jojojam6012]

I remember, I was there mostly to see Jimi but was disappointed because the mixing guys must have been out of their heads and the sound was crap ( not the playing, which you can hear on the album ). What blew me away was Jethro Tull, in particular John Evan.

[@WillyAffentranger-jb1oi]

That's spooky.

[@orazioscardace911]

[@StephenHankins]

Never enough said for JOHN EVAN ( s)

[@HamiltonRowan-r6z]

I heard Clive left the band shortly after this time to get married and was replaced by Barrimore Barlow.

[@rockymountboy]

More pushed out

[@aliengrey6052]

@@rockymountboyBarriemore Barlow was not a drummer he was a keyboard player.

[@SwingingCreeper]

@@aliengrey6052no Barlow was the drummer from 1972-1979. John Evan was the keyboard player.

[@yhurebrito]

@@SwingingCreeper I think what he meant by that is that Barriemore brought the technical aspect up like a keyboard player but left all this crudeness and vicerality of Clive Bunker behind, exactly what Ian Anderson wanted, someone to obey his genius leaving him as the only creative force in Jethro Tull alongside Martin L. Barre and Glenn Cornick who would left shortly after alongside Bunker

[@rockymountboy]

@@yhurebrito Understood. Except Glenn was also pushed out, because he enjoyed the rocker lifestyle too much, partying, drugs, and all that. Ian didn't tolerate that.

[@BeandipCartography-i3z]

Woodkins !

[@styxcreek]

I had no idea they rocked like this. I’ve always been put off them by Ian Anderson and his obviously very healthy ego but maybe I need to get past that..

[@dangavel1283]

the early years were definitely the best. they disappeared up Ian's increasingly pretentious arse sometime after 1972.

[@danielorton278]

You would be glad you did for sure

[@wimweender1306]

Edgar Broughton 😅

[@TomM-b6s]

Ginger who?

[@aarthoor]

A curious way of holding the drum sticks, doesn;t seem to slow him down though!

[@yhurebrito]

Enjoy because they don't make those bands anymore.

[@AsthePoolfills]

Ginger Baker ain't got shit on Clive

[@Eaglesmere]

No drummer has as far as I'm concerned. Hearing Bonzo this, Bonzo that really gets old .

[@Microbesandmuck666]

Dude totally agree!! I don’t see why ginger baker had such clout. Don’t get me wrong, I love cream and his drumming but it’s not ground breaking.

[@rockymountboy]

Clive Bunker hates looking at drums lol

[@Eaglesmere]

He doesn't have to . He's that professional.

[@Shkveezer1]

I HATE this version of "Dharma". Horrible. Saw Tull as middle bill to Jeff Beck's debut at Fillmore East. LOVE the Tull debut record's Dharma'. Bunker was totally animal on both record and FE debut performance, although record version was so much better. One of the very best drummers of that time...

[@bobknob8462]

They have some really great songs. This is not one of them. Should have named this one "Train Wreck". Good grief!

[@byteme9718]

No wonder the rest of the band all fucked off.
