The flutist, Andy Kulberg, was actually the band's bassist, and a great one for those times. He did have formal flute training as well. They were a cutting edge band in their day, crossing many genres to produce quite a unique style.

Way before digital delay, of course. This was an Echoplex, that is an actual tape loop. The great Al Kooper had already left the group. Amazing vocalist, organist and composer. The wonderfully talented blues guitarist, Mike Bloomfield, was in the audience.
I never got to see the Blues Project, but I did see Seatrain, which was sort of the successor of Blues Project, one time. They definitely played this, although by that time I think they were calling it Electric Flute Thing. Not part of Heline's thing, but "Wake Me, Shake Me" is also great.
Beatnik's becoming Hippies.☮❤🎸 I think he was most likely using guitar effects boxes on his mic. This was very early in the effects era. Pre-synthesizer days. I'm not sure the PA systems of the day had effects on them. A very tight group, nice drum work. Thanks for sharing.
About Randy's flute pickup-- Back then, putting the pickup on a flute or sax meant drilling a hole in the head joint or neck and mounting a metal ring into which the pickup was inserted. Yes, expensive. You ask why Ian Anderson didn't use one 2 years later? Because Ian Anderson destroyed his flutes. Remember when you said "I am terrified for his flute"? Jethro Tull would buy a dozen student-model Artley flutes at the start of each tour, and as they went the crew would cannibalize parts from the ones Ian broke--so by the end of the tour they might have four to six working flutes. Putting an expensive pickup into 12 head joints was impractical--and then there would be the tendency for the cable to get twisted up around Ian as he twirled and tossed and manhandled the instrument...
Al Kooper wrote Flute Thing especially for Andy Kulberg who was a classically trained Flutist but only played Bass with The Blues Project. Andy invented the mic hook up to overcome the loud playing by the band, He later invented different things for effects with the Flute. Al, in his book, says when this was first played , it was the first time an electric flute was ever played.
Thank you, Heline, for your wonderful insights and analysis, as always. I'm sure you've heard the studio version, in which the sound was much cleaner. A real landmark in its time, this was. Also, Heline, you are adorable.
Hi Heline! Super cool TRIP back😎! I dig remembering the Fashions of that time! The flute player is incredible! I'm hoping you had a great birthday🦄 Thank You!
The studio version of this is on the album Projections. Much better than this live version which sounds like it was recorded from one side of the stage and just sounds off to me.
perhaps the beginning of jazz fusion?? the gentleman at 8:10 that you were chuckling at was the legendary blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield. he was there with his band Electric Flag. was that Paul Simon right there at the end?
Maybe this should of been called The Blues Project - A Flute Thing and maybe a bit of acid? Kind of trippy is what I am saying. Many artist were experimenting with new sounds while tripping back in the day. But like you said, he is a very good flute player for sure! Not my kind of thing, but worth the listen.
Hi Heline. Its fun to watching your reaction video. Its fun that you have diffrent style of music. Do a reaction video on Ekseption. A rock group who did rockmusic of classical music.
I like it when other people besides me have a senile moment lol. I do believe that Ian Anderson did not use one of the clip on mics because as you remember he slings the flute around like a madman and I don't think it would last more than about 12 seconds with his showmanship. But that is my opinion only. LOL I'm almost as old as Ian and do like your videos.
Man....if you listen to real jazz and real jazz flute players (as opposed to this....and I grew up with the Blues Project) you come away with a new found appreciation for the Hubert Laws, Joe Farrell and the other top players.

Beasty boys sampled this in their song flute loop. PLEASE play that. Please please.
The flutist, Andy Kulberg, was actually the band's bassist, and a great one for those times. He did have formal flute training as well. They were a cutting edge band in their day, crossing many genres to produce quite a unique style.
Al Kooper made the arrangement for him. Andy also played flute on the opening of Steve’s Song as well. Wonderful album altogether.

The late Andy Kulberg. Classically trained at New York University. He also played with Seatrain.

Not part of Heline's thing, but "Wake Me, Shake Me" is also great.
Great song!! 1967 , when music was music! So many styles in one song. The crowd actually LISTENED!!! P&L, Songtsen.
Hi Heline, Andy Kulberg was my dad- he said he invented the electricflute by drilling a hole and inserting a pickhp,
A really Talented guy! And I loved his bass playing
Cool song, nice reaction :)
I love this song! Used to have their album with this on it. Great album.
Still have it and live at the whiskey A go go great band as was seatrain

Your joy and fascination is captivating!

underrated band😭😭😭
Unfairly ignored.
Those effects sounded great. Can I request that for the ending improvisation for the streat later today?
I love you! You're so adorable
Herbie Mann. Push Push, anyone? Great record.
I've been suggesting it for a long time. With the great Duane Allman.
Jethro Tull from the BBC tapes Stormy Monday.

Paul Simon introduced them at Monterey.

Thanks, Heline. FWIW, check out the "Live at Town Hall" version...Personally, I liked it better. ua-cam.com/video/UaaOx1MNHtI/v-deo.html
Wonderful standard for BP
Heline listen to the studio version of this song its better. You look so lovely in this video.

I adore you.
I used to hear on the radio a version of this song by Seatrain. The pace was faster.
You could react to "Suck My Flute" by Omnia. It's definitely a genre other than classical (they call it neoceltic pagan folk), and very good.
Might be a modified saxophone Mike🦄
awesome as usual thank you!!! i think you would like "Baby Nightx" by Sweet Smoke 1970
You reacted to Hocus Pocus by Focus; try their "House of the King"; flute from start to finish. UA-cam: Focus - House of the King
Flautist
Please react to Hubert Laws
Yes. Another great talent.
Does he keep returning to the first idk 10 or so notes of badenari.. ( sorry if I ruined spelling. At 12:31 and also at the end.
oh really
Man....if you listen to real jazz and real jazz flute players (as opposed to this....and I grew up with the Blues Project) you come away with a new found appreciation for the Hubert Laws, Joe Farrell and the other top players.
