favorite tull moment -
someone asked why he played flute
he goes, i used to play guitar, then i heard clapton and new i wouldnt ne that good,so i picked up the flute and knew i'd be the best flutist in rock and roll
Thanks,Sreiter.You rule.I hope you guys enjoy!BTW,it's spelled Mellotron,me bad and drunk last night.
Marc Craney in my opinion is one of the most underrated drummers of this generation.
Some of the fusion stuff he did with Jean Luc Ponty is just insane, but even in drummer circles he is rarely talked about.
no problem MS
Thelonious - Marc Craney in my opinion is one of the most underrated drummers of this generation.

the whole band is really "jazz"
they specically went that way because that was andersons intent but he was held back and "forced to do more blues based stuff by abrahams
interesting fact - for a short time (i think only for "rock and roll circus") tommy iommi played with tull
Thelonious,Marc Craney was sooo great with Ponty.He was with Tommy Bolin just before Tommy died in '76 which was cool,too.He once played with a Vancouver band,The Headpins.A friend of mine roadied for them said Marc was a super straight,religious kinda fella.I want to hear him play Aqualung again,saw the amazing footage some years ago on tv.
Glenn Cornick ,bassist,played w/Hunt Sales and Bob Welch in a band named Paris that would have broke in '77,but Sales quit to play with Iggy and Bowie.
Why is teacher not included in these clips?!!?!
Favorite Tull moment for me was Ian doing a flute solo and somehow yelled out..."COME ON IAN!!!" and like mid-flute note he says "I'm Coming, I'm coming...."
I used to be a huge Tull fan, I didn't ever really like any of the 80's onward albums (A, Broadsword,etc.). Their early stuff (more bluesy) was awesome and then as they started to move into the prog stuff there was some big hits and some big misses.
