MR>    I presume it's the CD you've got, right?  Anyway, I should preface my
MR>  comments here by saying that I don't have the "Rolling Stones Rock & 
oll
MR>  Circus" - either on video or CD.  According to the information I do have
MR>  though, it was taped in early December 1968.  So it would seem that the
MR>  date you noted above is likely in U.S. rather than U.K. format meaning 
t
MR>  was December 11th, 1968.
MR>    A brief Jethro Tull bio I have here says that Mick Abrahams' last
MR>  session with the band was in November 1968.  (FWIW, the earliest session
MR>  that I can be relatively sure of Martin Barre's participation on is the
MR>  recording of the song, "Living in the Past" in February 1969).
MR>    The N.M.E. (New Musical Express) Encyclopedia of Rock Music (a British
MR>  publication) states that Tony Iommi was filling in on guitar with Jethro
MR>  Tull on the date of the Rolling Stones show.
MR>    It's quite possible that my information is incorrect, but based on 
ast
MR>  experience, I'd be just as inclined to question the liner notes on the
MR>  disc.  The dates are pretty close and it would be somewhat 
nderstandable
MR>  for the writer of the notes to assume that Abrahams was still with the 
MR>  band without actually checking.
MR> 
MR>    Of course, anyone who has the recently released video and is familiar
MR>  with either Abrahams or Iommi might be able to confirm this for us.  ;-)
MR> 
MR>     Cheers,
MR>              Martin
After reading this you gave me the idea of checking the liner notes for a 
picture of Jethro Tull, and sure enough, there he is, Tony Iommi in all his 
glory. It's amazing how little he has changed in thirty years. I like to be 
accurate and I appreciate you pinting this out.
