Glen Cornick was one of the best bass players-ever. The stuff he laid down was so hard, certainly of the highest quality. Miss you, man.

[@mixbic6143]

Clive Bunker one and only ❤

[@bobcoradi2638]

Wow! Amazing footage and audio of an incredible band poised fior greatness. I hate that it's taken me this long to find this really early stuff, but I love that I have!

[@alanbryer6234]

Best era no doubt

[@ronaguieiras4630]

jesus the harmonica is fucking EXCELLENT and unique as hell in this amazing rhythm and blues classic by the amazing Jethro Tull

Glenn Cornick..RIP

[@schiaa7340]

Back to the family. One of my favorites

[@MarkTyler-pu3jv]

My favourite piece from their blues period. Old by the time he was 21, the voice of a 45 year old already then. Fantastic

[@bluesrocker91]

This was less than a month after the Rock 'n' Roll Circus.

Martin is brand new with Tull here.

[@civictull]

Quando l'eccellenza del rock incontra artisti del genere non poteva nascere che un gruppo spettacolare e geniale come i Jethro Tull.

[@sinusiridum551]

Spero che vorrai concordare con me : i " veri " Jethro Tull,strabilianti,originali,ammalianti live in concert sono quelli del periodo 1969 - 1973 ( ho assistito ad alcuni concerti nel 1972 e 1973).Tuttavia,dopo il tour dell'estate/autunno 1973 ove proponevano Passion Play ( ultimo capolavoro)a mio parere la magia si esauri'.Nulla sara' piu come prima,anche per gli album in studio...

[@civictull]

@@sinusiridum551 Devo darti pienamente ragione, dopo quel periodo hanno provato varie influenze rock senza grande successo, ma sarai d'accordo con me che la genialità di un grande artista come Ian Anderson non la si potrà vedere più in qualsiasi altro.

[@sinusiridum551]

@@civictull concordo pienamente! Aggiungo: considero scandaloso che, relativamente al biennio 1972-1973 ove erano strepitosi ed al culmine della loro bravura in concerto,NON esista qualche album ufficiale dal vivo !! Il live del 1978 mi dice nulla a confronto . Peccato mortale della discografia mondiale!

[@civictull]

@@sinusiridum551 Verissimo se avessero inciso un album in quel periodo migliore sarebbe stato sicuramente uno dei migliori della storia del rock dal vivo. Effettivamente quello del 78 Burning out io ce l'ho, ma ormai non erano più quelli degli anni migliori.

[@BobC59]

I must interject, however, that rising stars tend to shine brightest upon rising, however, Ian Anderson’s light has shown brightly for over half a century. Ups and downs of course, but his creativity and energy have never, ever waned. He is, and will always be, in my opinion, THE Renaissance man of modern music!

Glenn sei il più grande bassista!!

[@hammer44head]

I don't think Tull ever had any illusions of being another white "blues" band from England, it was a base to start from and get their real music heard. Blues music was red hot at the time in England with the great Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac leading the way. Tull played blues and played it pretty good but their heart was in playing their own creative music.

[@mikeshaw4951]

Looks to me like Martin Barre on guitar so it would be the second line up. Besides, Back to the Family was on the Stand Up album which was released after Abrahmans left.

[@spoiler321]

yes

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙

[@paulinwoburn9680]

Ian Anderson didn't want Jethro Tull to be a blues band. That's why Mick Abrams left. I wonder how much greater they would have become.

Are there any other versions of this song? It's amazing it never really caught on.

[@trfesok]

No! This version was only released on the now hard to find "25th Anniversary" box. They never did a studio version.

[@fapl985]

That's really sad. A curious fact is that it is very similar to Someday the Sun Won't Shine for You

[@pauldenali6367]

Very underrated on the harmonica. Wish he would play it more.

[@nicksmart5469]

This must be one of Martin barres first gigs as Tony iommi was at the rock n roll circus only a month earlier! Not taking anything away from mr barre but imagine a parallel universe if Tony had stayed and both sabbath and Tull had gone on separate paths ? What would the future of rock been like ? 😂

[@keeff8195]

I think that was tony iommi`s only performance with tull.

[@pip12111]

That's not Tony Iommi. He's playing right handed. Nor is it Martin Barre. That's Mick Abrahams

[@nicksmart5469]

@@pip12111 as the performance is after the rock n roll circus I would’ve thought it to be Martin as the order goes Abrahams iommi barre. And as iommi was December 1968 . Either that or they’ve got the dates wrong

[@mikeshaw4951]

@@pip12111 Nope, it's Barre.

[@mikeshaw4951]

@@nicksmart5469 Correct. As per IA, Iommi had already left the band but came back to do the RR Circus miming to prerecorded music and live vocals as a favor to the band.

does ian anderson ever play this on current tours?Along with Nothing is easy.?

[@taracampbell2433]

He played it on the 50th anniversary tour a couple of years ago, which he did as a sort of walk his career from the beginning. I love his flute, but dang he still is amazing on harmonica!

Extraordinary footage - lots of debate here about who's on guitar - 100% it's ex-Nice guitarist David O'List. Knew he'd tried out for the job but not that he'd gigged with Tull - here's proof. He sounds great here as do whole band, but Davy never that robust by all accounts and Ian a famously hard taskmaster so not meant to be.....great to see though.
