Jethro Tull original members 2001- Sunday Feeling

From the DVD Living with the past

[@tonartification]

Clive Bunker shows this fine jazz sensibility on the drums. The best drummer Tull ever had!

[@tomburns70]

I've never seen 'Tull' so early in their carrer; but he had the sound. Sad, people forget, probably didn't know. Kid's ask at traffic lights, "What's that.," lent out my "Rare Earth" DVD, never been returned... 'Get Ready," remember?

[@chiplovitt8538]

I saw him playing with Martin Barre on his last tour a couple of years ago. Clive Bunker, at 70 years plus, still sounded great! I'm a guitar player, but I love great drummers, and Clive Bunker is surely one!

[@bimwopbarn47]

yeah, he's so good!

[@heynow4512]

I've been saying that since I first heard THIS WAS. Way back in the late 60's The original members were the best.(RIP Glen Cornick) Clive Bunker was way better drummer than that guy, John Bonham. #1. Ginger Baker. #2 Keith Moon. #3. Clive Bunker. Whoo-ya! 😮🤫🤔🫡

[@adubman]

How in the world is this band NOT in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame??!!? First album "This Was" is perfection..."Stand Up" not far behind. Jethro Tull > Timeless

[@lescalier07]

becaus people form RRHOF are fucking idiots! =D

[@MikeBloomfield_apcgenius]

One of my favourite albums of all time. If I had to vote one, this could be it! That solo on Cat's Squirrel -WOW!!! Clive Bunker, Mick Abrahams and Anderson and whoever that killer bass player was - UNBEATABLE!!!

[@brötzmannsax]

That "killer bass player" was the late, great Glenn Cornick, bassist extraordinaire playing a fretless here.

[@gregthornton4209]

Looking at an old poster of him playing a Gibson Thunderbird on the wall of my den right now, Amigo !!

[@ian38018a]

What is this US fixation with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

[@MrSnappy67]

Gosh, that TONE Mick Abrahams gets...! And Bunker's playing is ageless.

[@michaelkirkby6306]

No one like the Tull from those days.... I grew up on jazz among other musical forms but jazz and classical were always the biggest influences. Then I heard Chuck Berry and my horizons broadened. The Tull put all that together for me on that first album and then again on Stand Up.

[@payattention007]

Mick Abrahams (Guitar) Legend!

[@salchaos]

Clive Bunker, one of my favorite drummers of all time.

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

Dharma for one live features the only drum solo I don't fast forward through.

The Jetro Tull Mark I, the best configuration ever

[@tomoday4450]

The best lineup ever

[@franklanzi2628]

This Was is still my favorite Tull album. No disrespect to Martin but this lineup should have continued for many years. I can only imagine what they could have released after the first album. I was 10 years old when this was released and I loved it.

[@josephtravers777]

Mine too. Always wondered why Abrahams didn't get the kudos he deserved over Clapton in '68. He has some jazz sensibilities in his style. Clapton, not.

[@oskarileikos]

I think it's good that Mick left. No disrespect to him, but Jethro Tull went from ordinary jazz-inspired blues rock to quite extraordinary folk-inspired prog rock and I think that's awesome. They tried to be too American with the first album.

[@AuxesisHyperbole666]

But then we wouldn't have had Stand Up and the solo on We Used to Know..

[@stevenhaywood6027]

Ian, Mick, Glen and Clive are superb musicians and had that chemistry alright! Great to see them playing together again! sttgaegoaktd

[@crdewolf]

Agree with adubman--"This Was" was the best album, and a big influence on me as a drummer

[@Iambrettreddell]

Craig DeWolf benefit is my favorite all time album give it a second listen too

[@stuarthecht8196]

Truly magical. What a great original band. RIP Glenn.

[@alanelliott2622]

Have to add my sentiments to all the others... This Tull line up was the most worthy- great stuff guys!

[@andythomas706]

Brings back my miss-spent youth perfectly. I virtually lived in the Marquee between 1968 & 69. Saw them loads of times they were never less than totally brilliant. If they had off nights, I never saw one! The highlight of the Woodstock Film is when they play 'Beggars Farm' over the PA. Happy days indeed!

[@ExploreAtlanta]

+Andy Thomas more like a well-spent youth I would say :-)

[@andythomas706]

***** They were amazing days. Tull, Family, Yes supporting The Nice! Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac, King Crimson.......they don't write nights out like that anymore!

[@jedsmith4988]

Great point! Had forgot about the "Beggars Farm" clip.

[@RareTurd]

Saw Mick as Blodwyn Pig early 70's, at Farx Club in Potters Bar, and again as a solo act at Painswick Squash Club (Gloucestershire) in about 1998, his rendition of Cats Squirrel was amazing. And to be sat on a bar stool 6 feet away from one of my Heroes was incredible.

[@rogernevin7461]

Saw Mick just after he left Tull with Blodwyn Pig in 1969 Newcastle City Hall, they were back up to Led Zeppelin ! He is as you say a great blues guitarist. Cat Squirrel is his classic.

[@Pantibiblon]

RIP GLENN.Ian wrote once that Mick & Glenn didn't like each other.Amazes me see them together after all these years.Nothing against it.

[@randyelliott9152]

Saw their first U.S. tour just before going into the service,I think I can still remember it???? During Clive Bunker's solo on Dharma for one,Ian stepped out into the audience,bummed a cigarette and basically watched Clive's drum solo and chatted with people in the audience before again taking the stage .Remembrance of my youth,what fun....up until the "service"part.

[@johntechwriter]

Randy Elliott Glad you made it back.

[@DYNODRUM]

Hey Randy- I ,think was at same show. At Fillmore ,they Kicked Ass. I, walked in as 'Dharma' was going strong , Clive's Fills etc. Blew it away. They, were touring w/ Cat Stevens and "Traffic"...

[@jimfritz9503]

Randy. I saw them on the 1st tour too. J TULL/ LED ZEP / VANILLA FUDGE $5 * Chicago. Yea , what a show " That Was".

[@massimomarchesin8708]

La Réunion dei primissimi Jethro tull !!!!!! Jan Anderson, Mick Abrahams ,Clive Bunker e Glenn Cornick rip !!!!!! Purtroppo dopo qualche anno da questa Réunion agli inizi del 2000 , Glenn Cornick passerà a miglior vita !!!!! Si riunirono per riproporre l' album THIS WAS il LORO dell' esordio e naturalmente anche per una rimpatriata fra vecchi colleghi ed amici !!!!!!

[@robertparisi8016]

I loved this was, benefit and stand up, loved that whole band ,Ian plays that flute like there's no tomorrow but his voice has really deteriorated in the past years, you can see he is struggling. Saw him live so many times that I lost count, wish him well for all the rock and also beautiful acoustic songs: look into the sun, many on the benefit album, skating away, rip glen cornick, john glascock, so many talented musicians made that band, Hammond, clive , Barre, Barlow, mock, of coarse Ian with that long trenchant, Scooby-Doo hat, laced up boots , doing gymnastics on the stage, they were something back then, they really were!

[@tomoday4450]

Best lineup ever! Absolutely Raw!

[@G8GT364CI]

I always loved Abrahams playing, such a nice smooth touch. Actually can't beat any of those guys, there were the best.

[@jedsmith4988]

RIP Glenn. Chatted with him impromptu at a NY Tull Convention. Great guy. Totally unassuming and a brilliant player. Abrahams is a phenomenal player but Tull's ascent to Rock Legends couldn't have been done had they kept going down the blues/rock path that so many others were headed down. Hence, "This WAS". That's the story by Ian anyway and it fits. The uniqueness of jazz/folk influence continued to develop. Martin was a great choice. Martin and Mick are good friends with mutual respect. LOVE seeing Clive return to play with Martin in recent years. Draws huge applause from the crowds. Martin has resurrected the power of live Tull.

[@lonewizzard8456]

This is class. Hot damn this is fucking great.

[@johnquirk845]

That the original group didn't stay together is unfortunate.

[@bobbryan4887]

A unique jazz-influenced music.

[@josephtravers777]

@@bobbryan4887 I always loved Abraham's Jazz voicings on 'This Was'. Anderson called it Blues (and there was plenty on the album) but some of it was progressive like the interlude on 'Beggar's Farm' & the Roland Kirk instrumental 'Serenade to a Cuckoo'.

[@theSavageHippie]

awesome, he is my fave Tull bassplayer

[@paulacatcatballou3907]

Loving Glenn Cornick my favourite.

[@lorenzo6mm]

What a tight unit of Jethro Tull

[@jedsmith4988]

All the bands that were Jethro Tull were brilliant. Even with Jeffery Hammond. I gave several "favorite" Tull albums. Clive is still a brilliant player. Touring with Martin they recreate the energy of old Tull, sans flute. Glenn was a gentleman. Talked to him at a Tull convention in NY. RIP

[@carlsutton5550]

One of my favorite Tull songs for sure.

[@faunoram]

Ah ! Those beautiful sounds form the past again alive and kicking !! What a great reunion !!

[@dbrew2u]

Sweet ! Tull as it should have always been .

[@jackeminor]

I'm with you. Clive, Mick and Glenn-the-great we're so goddamn cool AND good.

[@jimmiestrick1941]

yep, the only thing sweeter would be adding Martin for a second lead guitar.

[@lunatic7700]

wonderful video!

[@davelogan9221]

Ian's voice is poppey compared to '68..but everybody else Clive and Glenn were having a flash back to the old days just smiling and playing.Glen. was a Beast

[@guytitanic]

I'am getting carpel tunnel watching this over and over,it's that good.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Yep, early Tull was a pretty adventurous melange of jazz, pop, blues and rock with some odd and ends thrown for attention ... it's wonderful. And, in the original performances there is an energy they have never really duplicated since ... including Ian. As I've said in other posts Ian never looks as if he was having as much or any fun as he did in these early days.

[@juliechetty3641]

Cool version one of my favourite Tull tracks.

[@clarkewi]

Flute sounds better than ever.

[@manlypedro75]

Always dug Mick , more than Martin. Though Martin is more widely known. "This Was" is my fave of theirs, unique , understated, underrated, full of raw energy and super groovy ... not blues, not jazz but a cool hybrid all their own, the players seem more independent and free flowing and the result is more than the sum of its parts. Truth be told though, a band is only as good as its drummer and Clive (Dharma For One) Bunker is absolutely phenomenal. I would have loved to have been there... they all sound so slick!

[@victorwong9622]

What he said!!

[@breackonthrough]

nice version, normally i dont like too much watch groups or artist in old days comparing what they did before, but this jazz or rithm & blues of whatever this is is very good, cheers!

[@stevenhaywood1195]

Just great to see Messrs. Anderson, Abrahams, Cornick and Bunker United for this recording. Just great. This was Jethro Tull on 2001. And they don't look much like the "old" Tull depicted on the back of This Was cover either! 😛sttgaegoaktd

[@russelladams9147]

Seeing folks just sitting around chatting while an absolute work of art is sharing their gifts....smh

[@peerfar]

Good Lord! I learned so much from this album! I got to see Glen Cornick and Clive Bunker around '75 or so when they were playing with Bob Welch in Paris. It was on a bill with Be-bop Deluxe and Golden Earring at an old place with a dirt floor in Woodinville, Washington called the Gold Creek Dome. A local FM station (KISW, I think) sponsored shows out there for awhile. Does anyone else remember this?

[@jamesgregory2962]

Interesting that the small audience must have been instructed to pay no attention to the band. I would be absolute pissing myself! To see Clive again playing SO beautifully and Mick and Glen and Ian like nothing had changed. This was a great great band. Clive was my drum hero forever. He still has his oats!!

Mick Abrahams is an f-ing great guitar player.

[@charlesfitze2217]

I do agree with you one hell of a band love than and still do

[@DarkeningSkies1]

taikoking1 He wasn't "replaced", he chose to leave because he wanted to play the blues, and Ian wanted to mix it up a bit more. It was a relatively friendly split, as rock history goes.

[@Querencias7]

Totally agree with your assessment DS1.

[@andythomas706]

DarkeningSkies1 Another major factor was that Mick didn't like Flying!

[@raymondbonington9355]

I can remember a article in 1976 where mick laid into Ian Anderson big time but I think he his band and solo work by then were history and he saw jerhro Tull everywhere in music papers , pleased they patched things up , saying that it was a paper article they might have made it up lol .

[@workingtheworld68]

Great video production - very compelling

[@johntechwriter]

Valeria Victrix You’ve got to be joking.

[@billsmith2212]

I was lucky to see the This Was tour at Fillmore East . I don't remember if Martin was with them at that point . I also saw Bloodwyn Pig there as well . In that case , it was Mick .

[@Johnnynbk]

30 years ago and they were old back then!

[@clarkewi]

Anderson's playing is better than ever.

[@zinnington]

It's amazing. They're better than anyone out there today. Sad commentary on the shambles the music scene is in. The new bands should be ashamed of themselvs. They could no cut this type of music than pick their nose.

[@etherealdog]

Love Clive Bunker! All those ghost notes! While I think all eras of J Tull have their great moments, and depending on how the mood strikes, will listen to a large majority of any of their stuff, THIS is fantastic. It's so low key and subtle. Imagine if they took over as the current version of Tull.

[@fernandoshsh4076]

Es increible k cualquier musico de este grupo es de excelencia.

[@reinhardschuetze9004]

[@Malapersona]

He is Glenn Cornick, the original bass player of the band, but without his long hair.

[@clarkewi]

@spacepatrolman The fact that Ian even knew about Rashan Roland Kirk in 1967 shows extraordinarily hip taste. Ian's "Seranade" plays in a different key, at a different tempo with vastly different voicings. I'm sure Rashan loved it - Ian's version still stands up tall. I'm a veteran of several concerts at the LA forum where Zep, Who, Hendrix and a very short list of other virtuoso's played Ian was in the same league as Hendrix. He really delivered the goods - a favorite of a very fickle crowd.

[@pepezuelo3653]

very nice!

[@taikoking1]

Wow, the sound is very good for a club recording. Excellent playing, I don't know why the guitar player was replaced, this guy is really good.

[@seethroughhead505]

Mick wanted to continue in a Blues based direction and was not keen on international travel, whilst Anderson wanted to expand and progress.

[@gregthornton4209]

Which bands helped usher the blues into the Rock arena? You can start right HERE...

[@johntechwriter]

Greg Thornton Actually you’d have to go several years earlier, to a band called The Rolling Stones. Ian and Mick are alike In many ways. First and foremost, they are astute businessmen and have built their wealth while many of their peers returned to doing day jobs. Both Ian and Mick could see there was no future just playing Blues. Especially with the young crowd, it can grow old pretty fast. So Ian and Mick developed personas for their bands and for themselves. And both were brilliant innovators who broadened the definition of what rock is.

[@MrDino1953]

@@johntechwriter - I would add Eric Clapton/Cream and Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac to that list. They too started with straight blues, added their own innovations, and quickly morphed into more of a rock style.
