Jethro tull - my god live ..70

Sounds Like: People often think of Jethro Tull when they hear my flute playing, but I honestly think I have my own thing going. Sax wise I'm more in the rock style of a Clarence Clemons than jazz or classical. Song writing leans towards blues/funk, but classic/melodic rock is a guilty passion that permeates my stuff. I listen to loads of prog rock but don't seem to play much of it.
