10. Tony Iommi y Jethro Tull.
Tony Iommi dejo Black Sabbath/Earth en 1969 para unirse a Jethro Tull. Before that Abrahms left Jethro Tull because Ian Anderson wanted to take the band into a more progressive, rocky phase. Ambrahms prefered the Blues jazz of 'THIS WAS'. He formed a solo outfit called BLOODY PIG. It never went anywhere. He has a new solo album out called WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE. Not bad. Iommi joined as full member and performed at the stones' "ROCK'N'ROLL CIRCUS" gig. The gig was an invite only of all the bands the Stones liked alot. Janis Joplin was there, also, Jimi Hendrix and The Who played as well at the Stones bash. Their section was released for the KIDS ARE ALRIGHT movie. Tull deffinetely played. A picture of this lineup can be found in the book on the film. The Stones never released the film because their own performance sucked and it made no sense for them to release a film with their musical rivals that only highlighted their mucsical ineptness. But on the bootlegs "Archangel" (double LP) and "Archangel Rides Again" (CD) you can hear the last song of the gig 'Song For Jeffrey' with Tony Iommi on guitar. A picture of this lineup can be found in the book on the film "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus". They are no officials recordings of Jethro Tull with Tony Iommi. Sometimes you also can get an unofficial copy of the film on video. They are definitely some. Tony Iommi left the band after one month under a cloud. It seems that Ian Anderson didn't want a drug smoker in the band. This despite the fact that on a 1969 bootleg of the group in concert he talks of cutting of the bass player's fingernails and smoking them. Tony Iommi said that things didn't work out because Tull had a definite leader (Ian Anderson) so he went back to Black Sabbath and Martin Barre became Tull's new guitar player.
