Help identify a song I heard (Jethro Tull?)

It is sometimes frustrating to hear something on the radio that catches my ear, and no mention who it is.

I only caught the end, but it was really cool. It ends with an extended bass and flute only solo.

Sound familiar to anyone?

edit: maybe this should be in the Recordings forum, but it's really the bass player I wanted to know more than anything else.

Classic riff and the double stop solo is just amazing.

That part grabbed me, too! That's when I knew I had to hear the whole thing. On Gorn's suggestion, I have been listening to the whole album. JT is a band I mostly have a "radio friendly" knowledge of. Of course I'm delighted to find "Living In The Past" on the album as well. Such an achievement for a song with an unusual time signature to chart so high. But it's still catchy as heck.

Their heavier bluesy numbers sound a little like Cream, but tighter and more interesting! Digging it.

Yeah exactly, their earlier heavy blues were really something - made me think of "A New Day Yesterday" from "Standup" (also the orignal album of Bouree', fwiw). Also "Nothing Is Easy" and "We Used To Know". Great stuff.

This is just a silly bit of lip-(finger?)synching from back in that time period, but it gives you an indication of how he might have played it live…

Another TV appearence, which I remember seeing back then, was similar but edited out the solo(of course there’s nothing like a bass solo to make people change the channel).

I couldn’t find the visual from Murray Lerner’s festival film, but here Glenn gets down and dirty…
