Glenn Cornic - Jethro Tull Bass Player - Mixed Parts

[Mushroo]

I love Ian Anderson and all the quirky/flute/prog/acoustic/pretentious energy he brings to Tull. And no disrespect to his right-hand-man Martin Barre.

HOWEVER

Part of me has always wondered what early proto-Tull might have grown into, had they replaced Anderson with a more traditional blues-rock frontman, never hired a keyboardist, and pursued a heavy, two-guitar sound. Imagine how rockin' a hypothetical lineup of Cornick, Bunker, Abrahams, and Iommi might have sounded after a decade (or four) of touring together...

"He's one of ours, if you didn't already know..."

I did not. Very cool!

Just didn't want anyone inadvertently giving me the credit for someone else's labor since I have a red SF-I in my avatar.

He was definitely the "grooviest" member of Tull.

Boy, talk about "damning with faint praise"...

The picture with Tony Iommi is from the Rolling Stones Rock 'n' Roll Circus in 1968, which was filmed indoors on a sound stage, not in Hyde Park. Tull isn't really playing, just miming to their own record. According to Ian Anderson, this was Tony's only appearance with Tull.

Tull did play in Hyde Park at one point in '68, but not with Iommi, and it was a different occasion from the famous Stones Hyde Park gig, which was in '69.

You learn something every day. Not being a Stones fan, I must admit I've never watched any of their gig films, and I was informed (albeit wrongly) by someone else that it was the Hyde Park gig.
