I've seen him play this with Tull on several occasions, most recently introduced by a tale of how he came to write the arrangement after being driven mad by the continual and sadly talentless practice of it by a guitarist in a neighbouring flat. He duly decided to "take revenge on both player and composer by turning it into a piece of perfectly loathsome cocktail-lounge jazz. Still. it's good fun and I'm sure if old J.S.Bach were in the audience tonight he'd just want to leap up on stage and... strangle me. And Jonathan Noyce who will attempt the bass solo..."
