I loved that a frontman played the flute, as I also play the flute. I bought Stand Up and learned every flute lick on the record!
I can't think of any other musician for a rock band that played a flute. The only other instance I can relate is Jimi Hendrix at the Winterland in 1968 playing "Are You Experienced" with flutist Virgil Gonzales. Do you know of any others?
I saw the Moody Blues in ‘69 and one of the band played flute on one or two songs.

Marshall Tucker Band has a lot of flute in many songs. Ann Wilson of Heart also used one on occasion.

Does anyone have a link to the complete 1970 Isle of Wight show? That performance looks like a brilliant watch and listen, especially for a rainy weekend coming this Saturday.

Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but when "Bungle in the Jungle" came out didn't people rejected it initially as a pop sellout. Does anyone else remember it that way. I'm almost positive about it, but memories sometimes....I think people felt it was not Tull like. Maybe like the Beatles "Yellow Submarine."
Sounds like him. Thats also what he said with Thick As A Brick. "They thought Aqualung was a concept album, O... K... we'll show you a @#$%& concept album" and along came Thick As A Brick.Quote

The label wanted a hit, the fans wanted songs like the earlier material, etc, etc, so I think Anderson said, "fine, you want a stupid sounding Top 40 hit single, here ya go."
