Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

While both are not particularly complicated, and perhaps not even long enough to be consided as soli, I enjoy Ray Thomas's playing on Isn't Life Strange and Legend of a Mind. His flute was pivotal to the Moodies sound on the seven core albums and even up through The Present. Sadly after that album, it all but disappeared.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

We got this far w/o mentioning "Bouree"?
I caught Tull last month in Eugene Or., excellent show!
Martin played the flute on 1 song.

I took up the flute years ago thanks to Ian,

Cool, I'll see them on Monday next week. Missing a football game, bowling, and basketball practice (I could only do two of three anyway).

Wonder if Martin did Reasons for Waiting (he does on the record)....

us old timers!

Barry Hay on Big Tree, Blue Sea from the Moontan record comes to mind. Also check out Si Dira Di Me from Malibran's Oltre L'Ignoto.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

Friends !! Who knows , please tell me, ok!
Many years ago, I was watching a RockTV Program when appears Focus! They was in a Live Concert into the London Rainbow Theater.
Thijs Van Leer was playing a flute solo, with variations, nice...
I never listened a flute solo so melodius like that. But I couldn't to discover what music was that.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

What about the opening to Chris Squire's Silently Falling from Fish Out Of Water?

That's a very pretty flute section.

Mike Pinder also had some nice flute solos during his career with The Moody Blues.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

I just listened to Choas Code and the record "The Tragedy of Leaps and Bounds". My good buddy Cliff Phelps plays some nice flute on that. I'll dedicate it to Mr. Toccatta when I feature it on the show.

"Birth" from Focus is indeed a wonderful song, flute or no flute.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

For me it's Firth of Fifth, already mentioned. I do like Steve Hackett's brother, John. Aside from Voyage of the Acolyte, there were some great live moments with the two of them. Chicago had some good flute here and there too, especially on Chicago VII.

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

I love the flute's solo on the song, "song within a song" in the Camel's work Moonmadness.
A introduction begin with an apparent superficial theme, like preparing a bed to the flute sleep. When suddenly the flute's solo fall down intensive and deeply on a wonderful and melodius theme, it occurs other times in the song doing with this the angels smiles.
Another wonderful solo are on the song "Air Born" .... Ohh..Lord....thus my poor heart can't resist Mercy

Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

I loved the flute work on Atomic Rooster 'Winter' It did become one of my early flute classics, given that I was into heavy metal at that time!

Too much Tommy Vance would have made you a real metalhead.
Hehe ... I'm joking !
I was a big fan of "The Friday Rock Show" at that time in the early eighties.
And not for the heavy metal but because he also played NEW PROG stuff like The Enid, Pallas, Twelft Night, Magnum, .....
Do you know what happened with that show ? Why it has to stop ??

Unhappy Re: The most melodius flute's solo in the Prog. Rock

Hi Erik,
with the advent of Thrash Metal etc Tommy was replaced and the show died. Tommy moved to Virgin fm but never rekindled the flame. He unfortunately passed away in 2005, a very sad day for rock fans. I agree it was aimed at heavy rock, but it was where I mellowed and matured hearing the likes of Eloy, Saga, Van Der Graaf generator, Planet P etc. I have added a dedication to Tommy for the Moon anniversary on Friday. My Friday Nights have never been the same!
