Sorry for the pun -- many more!
It is just impossible to name all his beautiful flute passages... as Ian himself said (in different context, though) in Bursting Out: "...they are plural!.. plural..." ... "My God", "Pibroch", "Black Satin Dancer", "Weathercock"... the list is... well, not endless... but very, very long...

Many to choose from....almost too hard to narrow it down to a few.
"Flute solo improvisation" from Bursting Out is a fun listen.
"For a Thousand Mothers" features some really aggressive flute playing from Ian.
......ultimately, I think I'll go with "Witches Promise"

I agree with the whole of 'Thick As A Brick'. I wish there was more flute in prog generally.

Yeah, Thick as a Brick. Songs From the Wood and Bungle in the Jungle are also good.

Far too many to list.
Not nearly as good as that guy who plays the flute in Dancing With the Moonlit Knight though,
Now what's his name?

On Blackmore´s Night-Shadow of the moon, the song "Play Minstrel Play" Ian does quite an amazing solo backed up by Blackmore on acoustic guitar.

Besides all of "Thick as a Brick" (one of my all-time favourite albums), I'd mention "Living in the Past" and another great favourite of mine, "My God".

There's a lot of great performances, and I agree with most of you selections, but I'd like to add "With You There to Help Me" - love that intro...
