I never did see him with Tull but I did see him at Winterland with his Wild Turkey band, it was an awesome set especially for a 3rd billing band.

He helped to shape the sound of early Tull and was a valuable member. RIP

As I recall, Hammond was bassist by the time I first saw JT ('72). These '60s-70s rock era catz are dying young. They lived a bit too hard, maybe?

Sad. I saw them at "Greens Playhouse" (long demolished) in Glasgow Scotland when they did "Thick as a brick" tour many moons ago. Still listen to them on vinyl regularly.

I got to meet him at a Tull convention about 10 years ago . Just a lovely man for sure and way too young . RIP Mr Cornick .
