That was actually the tour I saw in '72, "Thick as a Brick". The album jacket if you remember, folded out into a newspaper with stories mostly concerning rabbits. The show to this day was one of best I've ever seen, and remember this came right after the album Aqualung, so they were fairly big at the time. During the show they had people in rabbit costume hop across the stage, or a large telephone would ring and Ian would stop and go answer. When playing the flute he is often on one leg with the other sort of a tree pose, he also plays the acoustic quite often especially on the intro to Thick as a Brick. I saw JT again in '95 with Emerson Lake & Palmer, he wasn't quite the same theatrically, in fact on that tour he fell and broke his leg and made some shows from a wheel chair. Check out video's from the '70's, they were quite good.
