Jethro Tull's appearance in that movie was filmed during Tony Iommi's short tenure in the band. It was odd seeing a lefty guitarist in Jethro Tull.

I've only seen small clips of that. I know he was miming the performance, but was it a song with slide guitar and he was miming it without a slide? I seem to remember there was something strange about it like that.

Tull are another of my favourite bands so I wonder how they would have sounded if Tony had stayed. I think his leaving was for the best since this way we got plenty of classics by both bands. I can't imagine Aqualung or Thick As A Brick would have turned out the same if Tony had still been there and I love those albums, especially TAAB.

I don't think anyone in the movie mimed, I think all performances were live.

It was during Shields & Yarnell's brief tenure in the band as well

You sure? It sounds like the vocals are live with a backing track.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1qiPttaS_w I found it on YouTube there is definitely a slide guitar there that Tony isn't playing. It looks like he's miming and all the stuff I've ever read about it on Sabbath/Iommi site say he was.

I know The Who, Lennon & The Stones were all live performances. I just assumed Tull was too.

I'm pretty sure Ian's singing (and possibly flute? ) is live.
