Came across the amazing Mark Clarke playing the Heep song WHY with tribute band Heep Freedom and confirmed my original suspicions that it wasn't Gary Thain because it sounded more like a Gibson EB3 that Mark tended to use back then..

Great band and a great version from Mark

This also goes to show that your tone comes from your fingers as Mark is actually using a P bass in this one.

Gary Thain died in  1975 aged 27, so it was never going to be him on the track.

 

Mind you, that Mark Clarke vid has already been seen in a recent thread here

 

 

why was out 1971 ish   so could have been a re-record by G.T.
