Or at least, who did they have with them on Rock & Roll Circus?
Oh, was that late in 1968? Cuz that's when the R&R Circus was taped.Emohawk said:Wasn't it **** Abrams or Abrahams or something like that?
Iommi did play with them briefly when Sabbath had a bit of a falling out at one point.
I'm not 100% sure. I thought it was the early 70's, but I'd have to do some digging to verify that. It may very well have been in '68.Calgary Slim said:Oh, was that late in 1968? Cuz that's when the R&R Circus was taped.
Is that the Blodwyn Pig album with "Drive Me" on it? I used to do that song but learned it from a friend and I've never heard the original.davetcan said:Most definitely **** Abrahms. He went on to form "Blodwyn Pig". First album was called "A Head Rings Out" and is absolutely killer. The first Jethro Tull album is also one of my favourites. **** wanted to stay closer to the blues while Anderson wanted to explore more "progressive" stuff.
"Drive me" was on the second album which I don't have. Pretty sure both are now available on CD but probably only by custom order. I picked up Ahead Rings Out on CD a few years ago, I also have the 40 yr old vinyl versionLester B. Flat said:Is that the Blodwyn Pig album with "Drive Me" on it?

I've still got vinylCalgary Slim said:You know, this thread reminds me how much I liked 'This Was'. I had a cassette tape of it a million years ago, which was stolen from my car.
Off to iTunes....
I agree on all counts. I absolutely love "A Head Rings Out". It still remains one of my all time favourite albums even after 40 years worth of listening to other stuff. :food-smiley-004:faracaster said:As for the Rock n' roll circus. I had heard that Tony Iommi was only a stand in, as **** Abrahams had just left the group. They needed someone to fill in. As you can see on the DVD, Tull is the only band "lip synching" or in their case "band synching". and if you watch Tony, he clearly does not have a clue what to play.
****'s band Blodwyn Pig was FANTASTIC!!!! As previously noted "A Head Rings Out" ( their first ) is a superb album. I used to play See My Way and Summer Day from that album, in a high school band. The second album "Coming to This" is also good and has some real good moments.
I was quite happy to hear one of their tunes on the "Almost Famous" soundtrack.
