This song was born long before Jethro tull was even a dream. Thank you for the upload. I saw seatrain in Central Park in Central Park,NYC ,summer of1971. I would catch a minimum of two concerts a wk. It was a great time to be alive. Thankyou Richard Greene for being the fiddle player for that band. You Gentlemen rocked. That is when people were experimenting with their instruments and taking them into rock orbits where they had never gone before.
Go ahead Richard! Seatrain turns out to be just about the most amazing musical "band" that never really made it big, but if you purchase the re-masters of "Seatrain" and "Marblehead Messenger" now available, and REALLY listen to the arrangements, you will be amazed at the complexity and perfection. This video above is a cool enough jam for what it is, but the studio recordings are a joy to behold.
John Gregory on guitar, Richard Greene on fiddle, Andy Kulberg on flute playing 'Flute Thing', the group is Seatrain. I know because I was the fiddle player. Cheers
Thanks tons for the post!! Interesting........I hung out with fringe pioneer" group in Phila, along w/Steve Berlin, we stayed up to listen to Dave Herman, the "Marconi Experiment", 93.3, WMMR. MN. We'd talk about our "findings" the next day. Quite revolutionary back then.......went to the Belmont Pllateau to hear "seatrain", and the repeater on the flute part.........I was mezmerized....couldn't figure out how it was done..............AMAZING TIMES!!!!!!! Still vivid acoustic memory 40 years later. The song of Job..............WOW! Steve Berlin used to love to play Seatrain on Flute............introduced me to Ian, and friends........Great to find kindred souls...
I just found some of your shows that were upped on a free uncopywrited legal site and I just downloaded it. Richard I am looking forward to the listen. Love your Music.
Andy Kulberg played a Rickenbacker bass - a 4001 model, I believe. That's the model I saw him use. Don't know if he recorded with it. I was also at the Central Park show in '71. (They opened for, I think, Procol Harum ?) Anyway, that second album is one of the most beautiful recordings of the 1970s. Unbelievably beautful music, and superb playing. It still is one of my favorites, 40+ years later.
The concerts from The Troubadour from june 1971 are better than anything here you guys. I want you all to petition Richard to make a CD of those shows because they are of a very special period. It was the Peter Rowan era in it's prime and Richard has the master from the gig on an old reel to reel.
Whoa....where did you get this recording. This is awesome. Seatrain was a fantastic band. I was lucky enough to see them at Fairmont Park in Philadelphia around this time. Did you shoot this yourself?
I was there too. It was completely overwhelming! It inspired me to become a professional musician. I play fiddle to this day and have played the BG festival circuit, the Grand ol' Opry and was staff at Walt Disney World.
Can we ask.. did you shoot this? Is there more? Fantastic. I love the appreciation of the crowd. Seatrain. Saw them a few time. Blew me away each time. Last time was in Essex, MA, I believe at a small club. The dogs were on stage and gave Peter a bloody nose. Great day it was!
I was at one of these in Fairmount Park in Philly. Seatrain also. I was about 16, don't remember much.
I was at the show in Philly too! Fairmount Park!!! I've never met another person who was there!

Actually no. Flute Thing was recorded in 1966 by Kulberg with the Blues Project. Maybe written in 65. Jethro Tull began in 1967.

The super sunday show in Philly with Grandma was amazing. I think I was 13.

Richard Greene you are one bad cat on that fiddle. I saw you twice with Seatrain and I think this was one of the times.
This can't be Spring 1970. Maybe a year earlier? The original lineup didn't exist by spring '70. And what happened to John Gregory?
I was at Belmont plateau too. Completely overwhelming! It inspired me to become a professional musician.

you guys are great!!!! god, i am so sad i missed out on being a hippie.
Can anyone spot the person who DIDN'T take his ACID?

I've been "looking" for archival footage of this memorable concert...............THANKS!

We were embarrassing in those days. We really were ......and Seatrain on this occasion was no better!
