Clive is often overlooked, Ian Anderson is often overlooked, Glenn Cornick is often overlooked, Martin Barre is often overlooked and John Evans is often overlooked

The mighty Clive Bunker. One of the most underrated drummers

Being a fan of Jethro Tull, I have no doubt at all that Clive was their best drummer, by far.

As a drummer, I totally appreciate what both Clive and Barrie did in Tull. Clive was totally untaught and raw; gaining his chops on the road. Barrie was more technically skilled and I loved both drummers here…✌🏻

Let's not leave out Glenn Cornicks blend with this great guy...at mid sixties I can't stop listening to first 4 albums

Got to see him play with Tull back in 1971 just before Barriemore joined. Man what a night, as was the first show I saw with Barriemore! Excellent drummers both.

His hand speed is phenomenal. His transitions are impossibly fluid. Drummers just dont aspire to this level of organic beauty and energy anymore. A lost art from a lost era...makes me wistful.

After the tragic demise of John Bonham, there was some discussion that Clive Bunker was being considered as his replacement in Led Zeppelin. After seeing this video, you understand why.

kvernon1 I didn’t know that he was considered. I knew Barriemore Barlow was. Clive is a hell of an awesome drummer.

the best and most impessive drum solo ever from my point of view! I have seen JT live in Rotterdam in about 1971, included Dharma for one. Unforgettable! JT my favourite!

Clive Bunker just an absolute monster on the drums...

Check out his left hand...never seen a grip like that! Like he's holding a pencil or chopsticks! Index finger, middle and thumb, almost dainty like. How unique is that? Gotta love this man!!

Awesome ! Ian must have been in heaven between Clive & Barriemore !

Maybe but maybe not. Anderson always thought he was God's gift to music and the other members of the band were replaceable.

Easily the equal of any of the more well-known drummers from that era.

Wow, 7 fools gave this incredible drum solo thumbs down? What more do they want???

Legendary drum solo

One of the finest drummers of all time.

I can say i saw him playing that way at Mogliano Veneto with Le Orme some years ago, shook his hand downstage after the show and asked for his signature. The most incredible thing is that i had a pizza with him in a pizzeria near Mogliano square before the concert! we were at the same table and i did't had any idea who he was! we start to talk about Le Orme and he didn't talked or mention himself all along the dinner: he only introduced himself as Clive and that's all! For sure a man down to earth and a great, great musician!

Awesome story--he always seemed the least affected (to the point of being blase almost) member of the band (and that is saying something for Tull!)

These older solos were always much more compelling. I love the dynamics in Clive's playing here. Also, times were different and crowds knew how to sit and appreciate a rare talent.

I was not a fan of Tull at this point in time, but when "Benefit" came out and they did this concert, I was HOOKED.

Love Clive! Always felt like a jazzier John Bonham to me, both stylistically and in terms of showmanship.

Damn he's good! Progressive rock had all the best drummers.

The most unique grip and style I've ever seen. And he plays beyond excellent.

Great drummer , great band love his hat, these guys were having fun

I love his playing. You can hear and feel his Baker and Mitchell influences. Paicey and Bonzo too. He made it his own. Nice to see the Ludwig Acrolite snare there. Much drier in tone than the Supra 400. Great solo!

Clive Bunker is astounding

just watched this again after a long time, still mind blowing.

8:34 - Here is one of the rarest moments in Jethro Tull history ... Ian actually smiling and having fun. Love it.

exactly almost 50 years ago and in this song you have the opportunity to listen to what I think was one of the best drums solos of all time, as well as Clive Bunker one of the best drummers ever. I wonder, if Clive knew, that at that moment he was writing a piece of battery history. Phenomenal (google translate I apologize if there are errors)

The demond of drums, Like Paice & Boham

Man,you Bill Brufford & Ian Paice Are the top of drummers,,,ever.If I am wrong,may God 4give me.

You can see Cozy Powell in the back watching Clive's solo. Awesome!

Clive, my fav JT drummer...the way he grab the left stick is insane; how he could control it with that power and speed...the transition from traditional to match grip era..

A 5" Keystone Acrolite...fantastic snare sound....

Definitely agree with you on the best drummers with out a doubt

8:55 - When Clive gets up to take his bow at the end of the song, he looks so completely wiped out.

The transition back into the song was so so sick!

Gran batterista

I would love an Anderson interview where he went thru the amazing gang of players he amassed over the years with his whit comments and ratings, rankings.

Superb, He`s holding those sticks like a wizard holds a wand..BTW, he looks a bit like Geezer Butler, now that would be a rhythm section.

may seem a little corny to some people but drumhead pressing to achieve a distorted sound was really innovative especially at the time. Soloists in the subsequent decades did that with the addition of roto toms and electronics and Clive did that run with a really simple kit.

Fantastic video ... such great quality ... and the band at one of its energetic and creative peaks. Thank you for posting Remy!

How he gets such power while using the jazz style grip that he uses...AMAZING!!

10/10

Grew up listening to tull still growing! Love their 70s stuff the best, long hairs rule! Just wish I still had hair! Ha ha!

Love this Dharma For One and the Carnegie Hall from Living In The Past. Never liked the comparison or competition between Jethro Tull drummers, especially Clive and Barlow, they are both brilliant, but I always thought Clive Bunker had a warmer touch, a more human, whereas maybe Barriemore Barlow was more technical. I really loved the Jethro Tull of this era, so much energy and positivity.

Clive per te una parola sola.... strepitoso!!!!!

Adoro solo de bateria...dimais

Semplicemente il migliore grazie Clive

Stalicone While I agree Baker was a ham fisted drummer who loved African drums too much, Bunker adopted a few things from him. What Bunker, and Moon have in common at the time is they used their entire drumkit to drive the band. It was a beat, not filling in between beats. It's funny that Bonham, and Moon were influenced by American jazz drummers, while Ginger was so into it's original African roots.
