I'm thinking the mime thing had something to do with it.

Nick Abrams (JT's lead guitar) left JT right before the appearance but Iommi hadn't had time to learn any of the music so he had to mime to a soundtrack. The official reason he left was over differences over the role he had to play - Ian Anderson was the boss and Iommi would have to be a supporting member. The reason Iommi later recounted in an interview was that they practiced too early in the morning.
Funny, because Iommi later started making Sabbath practice early in the am and credits Anderson for showing him how to run a band.
