Black Sabbath: 1972

Black Sabbath appeared at the St. Paul Civic Center on March 21, 1972, presented by Howard Stein.  The tour was to support the “Master of Reality” album.  Apparently windows were smashed after the concert, making venue managers wary of booking hard rock acts.  King Crimson (John Wetton era) was a possible opener.  The band’s website also mentions Yes and/or Wild Turkey as opening acts.
