Bouree - Another Tull Cover from 1969

Two more to go and the whole album will be covered.
 
BOUREE

You are getting very accomplished and polished at this Tull stuff should Mr Anderson be getting concerned or will we see a Tour by the collective Jennifer's?
 
Nice stuff Ed good job

TULLTASTIC

seems there were a few variations.....

Xmas 1968 - I joined Jethro Tull and had recently bought a very tatty Gibson Les Paul special circa late 1950’s. Previously my friend Dan had lent me his immaculate white one but sensibly wouldn’t sell it to me. I had an early Laney 50 watt head, which I linked to a box 2 x 12” cabinet.
 
1969 - In January we started our first gigs playing with Jimi Hendrix; I still had my orange “Special” but had borrowed a monster 200 watt HiWatt, again not for sale.  I ran it through a 4 x 12” Hi Watt Cab.  We recorded Stand Up, no F/X except a Jim Dunlop wah wah in “We Used to Know”.
 
1970 - Same amps but I bought a Les Paul custom; it was a fake and didn’t stay in the collection very long! But I used it on Benefit.  I started using a Hornby Skewes Treble Booster, which gave the HiWatts a bit of a kick.  Unfortunately they picked up radio perfectly. Any gig within a mile of a radio station was a disaster!
I also started using an old Watkins Copycat echo – more noise!
 
1971 saw the Aqualung Album. I had met Leslie West and the result of much admiration from myself resulted in me buying a 1958 les Paul Junior – the Aqualung guitar. X Eyed Mary was played with an unnamed amp about 12” x  6”! My God through a Fender Super, and the rest through HiWatt plus the trusty? Hornby Skewes, Thick as a Brick and Passion Play – were both classic sounds.
 
1959 Les Pauls and HIWatt! No F/X Minstrel in the Gallery was played on a vintage Les Paul Standard and for Too Old to Rock and Roll I finally made the transition to Marshall 50 watt Heads and, of course 2 x 12” cabs. I also played a Fender Broadcaster on Taxi Grab and a Hamer Explorer Serial number 0002 bought, of course, from my great friend Paul Hamer. Occasionally a MXR phase 90 or Flanger crept in!
 
 
 
 

heheh
well, i'm a tull and barre fan...
i've seen different rigs thru the years,
and when i saw them,
he was playing a gibson SG thru a Marshall stack (Minstrel in the Gallery tour)

Two more to go and the whole album will be covered.
 
That's quite an accomplishment.
 
Good job all the way around, even the bass sounds pretty good! But I can tell it was mixed by the bass player 

Maybe I'm not as finicky about guitar tone, that bass is awesome though eh? , but I rather like the tone.
 
Maybe it's affected on SC by the conversion even though I did upload a 24bit/44.1K WAV.

Just a plain old P-Bass (whiff some secret sause).

The Band19
You need to get an Alembic like mine, they rock.

Next tune to be released will have my Anemic on it.
 
As soon as that producer gets done.

No James, no peace! (help me carry this TV out that broken window...)

said the Communist.

Coolest story ever.
 
I switched from rhythm guitar to bass in 1968 when my friends playing a high school dance came up short and asked me to play bass on Sunshine of Your Love (on a Hofner no less). I was hooked even though I had never held a bass much less had never played that song before on guitar.
 
Footnote: I played it wrong in some spots but still had fun.
 
By senior year (1971) the band I was in already had Bouree, For A Thousand Mothers, New Day Yesterday and Nothing Is Easy in our set list.
 
Hence my desire to get some of these fine players in this cover the whole album project.
 
In case no on noticed, my son did the drum programming on this one.

Also one of my favorite Tull songs, evah.   Nice job all around and the mix is working nicely.    I do agree about the guitar tone being a little thin and/or bitey, but that's completely subjective.    Now if only there was some solid bass playing on this number...   
 

Ja.  I'm liking it.  

very nice, gents!  mix sounds really good.
 
bass is tight
 
for a Tull song, this is good!
