==Line up[ Edit] == Guest Musician:
 * Bourée was a big hit worldwide. This instrumental song is based on a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach (the fifth movement of the Suite in E minor for Lute). It is to date the only significant hit for Jethro Tull in France.Maybe the name of the song has to do with it: a bourrée (note the difference in spelling) is a French folk dance that was done on instrumental music and was popular around 1700. This dance In certain areas in France is still prevalent.
 * The famous song Hotel California by The Eagles may have been inspired by We Used To Know. They were then in this period also the opening act for Jethro Tull, and even though their number is released only in 1976, they were looking for a good final number for a concert like We Used To Know for Jethro Tull was, at the time.
