Sort of. During the brief time in 1968 after Mick Abrahams left but before Martin Barre joined, Tull appeared on TV in a film called “The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.” They performed “A Song for Jeffrey,” though only Ian was actually live; the others mimed to a backing tape. Tony Iommi was the guitarist seen in this film clip with Tull, and apparently he nearly joined the band. Mick Abrahams recalls, “Tony only did the Rock & Roll circus thing. He phoned me up afterwards and told me he couldn’t stand it – he quit straight after that.
