[@jamesmicucci7028]

I saw Jethro Tull twice in 1975: once in January, promoting the War Child album, I believe; and once in October, after the release of Minstrel In The Gallery. Let me say that, with all respect to John Glascock & Glenn Cornick (RIP, both of them), the combination of Jeffrey Hammond & Barriemore Barlow was quite impressive. They were the team fueling the bottom end of Brick, Passion Play & the Minstrel albums, playing some very complicated music, and doing it very well. They had apparently played together previously in the earliest version of (pre-)Tull, but neither joined the band until Jeffrey replaced Glenn Cornick for Aqualung, their breakthrough album, and Barrie replaced Clive Bunker to make prog masterpiece Thick As A Brick, Tull's first #1 Album in the US.

[@BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

There are no words to describe how incredibly brilliant this musicianship is. I am going to speak to the drumming as I am a expert on Barriemore Barlow. I have studied drums under Graham Lear, Santana drummer. Barriemore Barlow demonstrates an incredible capacity to will into existence any drum riff that might occur in his head. A lot of us drummers think about stuff we would like to do, but soon realize it is impossible. Barrie never had this barrier. He invents the most impossible thigs and actually does it. There is no drummer ever created that could do the drum solo you are seeing. NONE. Not Neil Peart, not the Dream Theater guys. NOBODY. And he did this in 1976. Nobody can ever ever ever top this. You know why? They don't have his imagination.

[@markaldridge3321]

Too right

[@loucontino4804]

It's not just his imagination, Barlow was technically brilliant. To be able to interplay the hands and feet the way he did is a level that takes an awful lot of skill. Listen to the snare and bottom kit interplay, this is incredible. The only other guys I knew who did stuff like this at the time were Jack DeJohnette & Tony Williams. Barrie was one of my favorite rock drummers and this band right here of Evan, Glascock Barlow & Barre was phenomenal. I wish there was an album of just the instrumentals these guys did. Conundrum off of Bursting Out, King Henry's Madrigal off Watchers on The Storm 2 cd, the full Conundrum off of the Heavy Horses New Shoes Edition, this Instrumental here which is on the Songs From The Wood 40th Anniversary Edition also, these were just other worldly and rivaled some of the most complicated stuff ever.I miss Barrie not being really active anymore and even more so the late John Glasock, whom Ritchie Blackmore called 'the greatest bass player in rock!'

John was great. Glenn Cornick was good in a looser more jam-focussed way, but he was the root of Jethro Tull's complex bass lines and arguably pushed them into the prog realm from the beginning. Dave Pegg was great with them as well. Jeffrey brought a lot of eccentricities and aesthetic into the band. Like Dave Palmer he was Ian's creative muse in the band, but he wasn't a brilliant bassist. What is remarkable is that he picked up complex parts. Poor John Glascock was treated partly like a hired hand, so was on a lower wage than 'core' members.

This is mindblowing. I saw Tull many times during the 1970s and thought then--and can hear now--that they were in a class all their own. Imagine a group that could shift instantly from hard rock in 9/8 time to the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony and back again to the hard rock. Tull did it, made it seem effortless, and made you laugh while doing it. Plus they did costume changes and music-hall comedy shtick, all while playing at an incredibly high level of musicianship. They were astounding. Barrie Barlow was a big part of their brilliance. No wonder John Bonham called him "The greatest rock drummer England ever produced" and Plant and Page thought Barlow was one of the few drummers would could replace Bonham in Led Zep after his death.
