“ rock and roll circus ” was long one of the most elusive of rock artifacts. shot dec. 11 - 12, 1968, and planned as a bbc - tv special and theatrical release, the 65 - minute picture mated the aerialists, fire - eaters and acrobats of robert fosset’s circus with the day’s top rock talent .

for all the controversy and mystery surrounding it for 28 years, these days the rolling stones rock and roll circus now comes across as a quaint time capsule of the last days of swingin & apos; london. and as strange as the idea of combining a rock concert and a circus may be, it manages to work – even if the only person who wasn & apos; t stoned was probably the guy who ate fire. you can see what we & apos; re talking about from the comfort of your home, as the rock and roll circus is now available on itunes .

the rolling stones rock and roll circus is a film released in 1996 of an 11 december 1968 event put together by the rolling stones. the event comprised two concerts on a circus stage and included such acts as the who, taj mahal, marianne faithfull, and jethro tull. john lennon and his fiancee yoko ono performed as part of a supergroup called the dirty mac, along with eric clapton, mitch mitchell, and keith richards. it was originally meant to be aired on the bbc, but the rolling stones withheld it because they were unhappy with their performance .

upon viewing the footage, the rolling stones felt their performance was lacklustre, and that they had been upstaged by the who' s a quick one while he' s away, so decided not to release rock and roll circus. the audio and video footage circulated widely on bootlegs before being released officially in 1995 .
the last half of the show is devoted to the stones, which is why the special wasn & apos; t aired at the time. the band held it back because they were unhappy with how they sounded. because of numerous production delays, the rolling stones rock and roll circus took 15 hours to film. with the stones up last, exhaustion and the copious substances they had ingested had taken their toll .

in december 1968, the rolling stones and friends met in a north london television studio to film a concert, complete with fey late - 60' s flourishes like a fire - swallower, circus costumes for the rock stars and silly hats and smocks for the studio audience. the stones were joined by the who, taj mahal, eric clapton and other musicians .

filmed in december, 1968, the circus (officially titled the rolling stones rock n roll circus) would not see the light of day until october 1996. some of us lucky fans got to see it years earlier, as three different bootlegs came out around the mid 1980s. since i have a copy of one of those boots, i will write about it too, as the official release is a bit different .
unfortunately, the result was a trippy train wreck — and it ended so badly for the rolling stones that everyone forgot about it for 20 years .
tv special the rolling stones rock and roll circus was a mick jagger - - helmed vanity project that somehow went horribly right. the chaotic show - - a hybrid of circus and rock concert with some of the hottest acts in swinging london (john lennon, the who) - - was shelved in the 1960s and not released on video until 1996. the new dvd adds commentary from jagger, yoko ono and others. keith richards mumbles the best line :

the rolling stones rock and roll circus was an entertainment extravaganza planned and put on by the rolling stones in december 1968. originally done as a bbc tv special to be broadcast not long afterwards, it has never been shown. for a while there was talk of releasing it as a feature film for theater distribution. nothing happened. there are still no definite plans for release, and it looks now as if it may never be shown, though by all accounts it is a remarkable film. the following report, written at the time, gives us a glimpse of the stones show we have never seen .

the lineup of all time was the beatles, the stones, and the who, at the 1966 nme concert .
this was one of the first grand rock' n roll events of the 1960s, and for years it was the one that got away! the circus was put together by the rolling stones after mick jagger came up with the main idea. it was suppose to be a tv special, filmed in december, 1968, but was never shown and finally released years later as a vhs video and cd, in 1996. released as a dvd in 2004 .
1945), is an english rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. he is the only three - time inductee to the rock and roll hall of fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the yardbirds and cream. clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time .
although it includes some not - too - hot pieces, rock and roll circus presents a strong roster of good music. none of the participants demonstrate their best work, but they mostly sound good, and the program is very cool to see from a historic point of view .
for nearly 30 years, the rolling stones rock and roll circus was a legendary, unexperienced piece of pop detritus, cousin to smile and jerry lewis’ holocaust movie the clown that cried. the project - - a big - top - themed concert featuring the stones, the who, taj mahal, john lennon, and others - - was supposed to be shown on television, but was never broadcast. reasons for its absence abound, but the most accepted theory is that jagger and co. were unhappy with their performances and felt upstaged by their colleagues .
the rolling stones’ rock and roll circus had more ups and downs than the last days of elvis: jethro tull and the who lead with forgettable performances, followed by a decent show of taj mahal, then another forgettable performance by marianne faithfull. lennon takes the stage and gives a stellar performance with his supergroup dirty mac. his second song starts off with a refreshing violin rock compilation, but ultimately, the song is utterly ruined by yoko’s dead cat impersonation that is persistent throughout the rest of the song. possibly bolstered by the abysmal performance that preceded them, the rolling stones then performs at their best, making the rest of their show entertaining and uniquely enjoyable, allowing you to (almost) forget about the previous forty minutes you wished you had back .

was originally intended to be released as a television special. the special was filmed over two nights and featured not only the rolling stones but the who, jethro tull (with future black sabbath guitarist tommy iommi filling in for the recently departed mick abrahams), marianne faithful and an all - star jam featuring john lennon, eric clapton, keith richards and mitch micthell. sadly, this also marked the final appearance of the stones founder and original guiding light, brian jones, who would be dead within six months after filming the special .
the whole show was arranged on something of a handshake basis, the kind guaranteed to require lawyers later on. so it has taken 28 years for'' the rolling stones rock - and - roll circus'' to surface. it will be shown for only two days, today and tomorrow at the walter reade theater, as part of the new york film festival, before its release on videocassette and laser disk next week. not many home viewing experiences are likely to match seeing this on the walter reade' s big screen with an audience ready to roll down memory lane .

the stones had not toured recently, and were not in top playing condition to match the who .
before i get into this review, i really feel that anyone who hasn' t seen or heard the rock' n roll circu s, should first view the video - and then get a hold of the cd .
in between all of the songs, we get a mix of other elements. dressed as circus performers, various stones introduce the acts, and we also find genuine circus acts tossed into the mix as well. these expand the show’s concept but aren’t very interesting, so i always skip them .
the who were next, stealing the show with a ferocious version of
a quick one, while he & apos; s away .
although the complete rock and roll circus was never aired, the climax of the who & apos; s mini - opera was featured in their 1979 documentary the kids are alright and in its entirety on its soundtrack album .
shot in 1968, this concert film (conceived and organized by mick jagger) was made in london over a two - day period. the show was literally set in a circus - like atmosphere, with the rock bands dressed in colorful costumes, and acrobats, clowns and other big - top acts performing between sets. the film captures such groups as the rolling stones and the who at the height of their creativity, providing unforgettable entertainment for fans both young and old .
for the first time ever in their 50 year long career, the rolling stones played in havana, the capital of cuba. the movie shows how music can work as tool of social improvement .

but the stones suffered their attempt at self - promotion. “that plan just blew up in their faces, ” classic - rock writer jen cunningham explains .
straight out of its time capsule,'' the rolling stones rock - and - roll circus'' brings back the sleek young stones in all their insolent glory, recalling a time when they ruled the roost. gorgeously smug, well aware that the world is their playpen, they preside grandly over this uneven but ripely nostalgic show and then close it with a sensational set of their own. rumor had it that the stones, who were up all night before their segment was filmed, thought they looked tired and felt upstaged by the high - energy who. it hardly looks that way as mick jagger' s fabulous performance nearly turns this into a one - man show .
because these 24 hours could have been classic rock’s make - or - break .
the best music by the stones for me was that recorded up to and including sticky fingers. this album not only features a live set from the stones but also includes some excellent live performances by jethro tull, the who and john lennon. for fans of yoko ono, she does a bit of screeching and wailing on a track as well. a worthwhile listen if you like the rolling stones .
the tickets, distributed by the rolling stones fan club and by the n. m. e. , were printed on gold metallic cards with a 19th century wood - cut of a galloping elephant in green. clutching them we entered the giant studio. inside, half a circus tent was draped around one end of the studio, a circus ring that came apart in the center, sawdust in the ring, ropes and poles, all the mysterious rigging of the circus reproduced inside this gigantic space. at the end of the studio was an archway covered with bare bulbs like a side show, and all the acts entered through it .
the rolling stones' own performance began 2am the following morning. by this time lennon and ono had departed to do a bbc radio interview, but they returned for part of the stones' set. the couple were also filmed at various times offstage earlier in the day, and lennon and jagger traded jokes for a link sequence to introduce the dirty mac .
the main rock' n roll circus show that is shown on the new dvd, is the exact same one you see on the vhs tape, so no need to review all that again, however, like all dvds, there are a bunch of extras added in, so i' ll cover all of them here .
there were so many firsts and lasts involved with the the rock' n roll circu s, it was not only one of the first major rock n roll get - to - gethers, but also the first major gig for jethro tull, which for tull would also include the first and last gig with guitarist tony iommi, who would leave to form black sabbath just weeks later. it was one of the first times the who would perform a rock opera live. it featured one of the first rock super groups, the dirty mac (the name through up by john lennon, as he was poking fun at fleetwood mac), and in turn, would be dirty mac' s first and only (last) performance, not to mention lennon' s first concert without the beatles. it also was the last time the original rolling stones would perform live, and sadly, the last gig for brian jones, who would die a few months later .
, an acid rock - infused guitarist who used wailing feedback and effects pedals to create new sounds for the instrument .
by that time the audience and most of the stones were exhausted; jagger' s sheer stamina managed to keep them going until the end. jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film, and kept it from public view. this was the last public performance of brian jones with the rolling stones, and for much of the stones performance he is inaudible, although his slide guitar on

back in the sixties, a couple of years without touring looked like an eternity. to remind the fans that they still existed after two years off the road, the rolling stones planned an all - star musical extravaganza. this would feature a mix of other artists and culminate in a set by the stones themselves .
ask mick jagger to put on his dream concert these days, and he’ll probably hire martin scorsese. forty - seven years ago, he could do even better: he put the rolling stones, the who and a beatle on the same stage and made a movie .

the stones usually picked the hot new band of the time and tull were up and coming and getting plenty of good press in 68 much like king crimson in 69 when they joined the stones on the bill at hyde park. in hindsight they seem like bizarre choices .

it was hard to believe it was actually happening. lennon, keith richards, clapton and mitch mitchell playing together in a supergroup, a real circus with tigers, plate spinners, a boxing kangaroo, the stones, the who, acrobats, clowns, midgets and a fire - eater, and entirely planned and produced by the stones themselves. it seemed like another unlikely pop rumor. jo bergman, stones liaison with the world, kept calmly saying, “yes, it really is going to happen, ” and it was due to the stones’ determination and the fluidity of the english music scene that this was planned, put together in two weeks and rehearsed and filmed in just two days, the 10th and 11th of december. jo bergman said about the circus getting together: “the stones wanted to get people into their movie. all the artists involved were responsible for getting it together. nobody sold out. the stones got down what they wanted to get down and it was all done inside of two weeks. ”
damn, the only bad thing about the rock' n roll circu s video, is that it almost was never shown, and kept under wraps for so many years! by the time it was released, several of it' s main stars were already long dead. to even call it a video is unfair, it was really a made for tv film. but what ones gets to see here is amongst the best of shows, as far as rock n roll goes .
that' s what i was thinking too. zeppelin would have totally blown the circus tent far, far away .

by that time the audience and most of the rolling stones were exhausted. it was only due to jagger' s sheer enthusiasm and stamina that they kept going until the end. regardless, jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film, and kept it from public view. pete townshend recalled :

years ago, i bought this cd when it first got released on cd in the late 90' s only bc i am a die hard beatles fan and stones fan and john lennon was a headliner as were the stones, obviously. little did i know that it was going to open my musical spectrum up so much more than i had ever anticipated! it introduced me to classics like jethro tull, the who, and so many more great acts! its a great musical collaboration, and i highly recommend it if you dig rock n roll and the british invasion bands !
this is a great album for any rolling stones fan, a true gem for anyones collection. performances from john lennon and his super band

the project was originally conceived by mick jagger as a way to promote the new record beggars banquet beside conventional press and concert appearances. [ 3 ] jagger approached michael lindsay - hogg, who had directed two promos for rolling stones songs (and would go on to direct the beatles' let it be documentary), to make a full - length tv show for them. according to lindsay - hogg, the idea of combining rock music and a circus setting came to him when he was trying to come up with ideas; he drew a circle on a piece of paper and free - associated .
the next (non - circus) music we hear comes from the bluesman taj mahal and his band, but the song played ,
ain' t that a lot of love
is more rock sounding than blues, and it' s a dandy! jessie ed davis' lead guitar is so fine, and tai mahal delivers some smooth vocals .
the rolling stones, the who and marianne faithfull were the marquee names. also appearing was the dirty mac, a one - off supergroup comprised of john lennon, eric clapton, keith richards, yoko ono and jimi hendrix experience drummer mitch mitchell. bluesman taj mahal and jethro tull, who had just released their debut album six weeks earlier, rounded out the bill .
in october 1963, clapton joined the yardbirds, a blues - influenced rock and roll band, and stayed with them until march 1965. synthesising influences from chicago blues and leading blues guitarists such as buddy guy, freddie king, and b. b. king, clapton forged a distinctive style and rapidly became one of the most talked - about guitarists in the british music scene. [ 18 ] the band initially played chess / checker / vee - jay blues numbers and began to attract a large cult following when they took over the rolling stones' residency at the crawdaddy club in richmond. they toured england with american bluesman sonny boy williamson ii; a joint lp album, recorded in december 1963, was issued in 1965 .
by that time the audience and most of the stones were exhausted; jagger' s sheer stamina managed to keep them going until the end. jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film, and kept it from public view. this was the last public performance of brian jones with the rolling stones, and for much of the stones performance he is inaudible, although his slide guitar on

sympathy for the devil

jumpin' jack flash
and
parachute woman
remain clear. the last song ,
salt of the earth
, was sung live by keith richards and mick jagger to the pre - recorded tape from the beggars banquet studio album where the song had been released .
to some degree, it may be unfair to come down too hard on jagger and the stones for their flaws on display here. as the dvd’s supplements document, the
the stones contended that they withheld the film' s release due to their substandard performance, because they had taken the stage early in the morning and were clearly exhausted. many others believe that the true reason for not releasing the video was that the who, who were fresh off a concert tour, upstaged the stones on their own production .

the first extra in the
sideshow
part of the dvd, is a fairly new interview with pete townshend. pete covers several bases here, first on how the circus was thought up, second on how the song
a quick one while he' s away
, which the who perform at the circus, came about. then he talks about the circus itself, on what went down there. this last part of the interview is excellent and very enjoyable to hear. he tells us what the atmosphere that day and night was like, why he loved yoko ono' s performance, and goes on to praises mick jagger to no end .

in january 1969, when the beatles were recording / filming what became let it be, tensions became so acute that harrison quit the group for several days, prompting the others to consider replacing him with clapton, an idea that particularly appealed to john lennon. [ 32 ] michael lindsay - hogg, television director of the recording sessions for let it be, states ,
i was there when john mentioned clapton—but that wasn' t going to happen. would eric have become a beatle? no. paul didn' t want to go there. he didn' t want them to break up. then george came back .
[ 33 ] clapton was on good terms with all four of the beatles; in december 1968 he had played with lennon at the rolling stones rock and roll circus as part of the one - off group the dirty mac. [ 34 ]

the cd and show closes out with a sing - a - long, with the stones song
salt of the earth
. the music was pre - recorded, only the vocals you hear were live, and includes just about all who was there singing, including the audience .
this was supposed to be released in 1969, but mick jagger wasn' t happy with the stones performance. sound is excellent throughout - jethro tull & the who were my favorites. the stones sounded fine, so i don' t get why mick was unhappy. 😐😐
tv special recorded on december 10 & 11, 1968. directed by michael lindsay - hogg. produced by the rolling stones. the special never aired. cd & vhs video released - october 15, 1996, dvd released october 12, 2004. produced by jimmy miller, jody klien, lenne allik
according to bill wyman' s book, the stones also performed
confessing the blues
,
route 66
and an alternative take of
sympathy for the devil
with brian jones on guitar .
nonetheless, the headliners' scaled - back performance has definite appeal. it’s interesting to hear the rolling stones with a little less energy than usual and more interesting still to hear them perform for a small audience. after an introduction from john lennon (in its entirety: “and now”), the band starts their set with “jumpin’ jack flash, ” followed by “parachute woman, ” “no expectations, ” “you can’t always get what you want, ” “sympathy for the devil, ” and show closer “salt of the earth. ” it’s a solid set, and if the rumor about the project’s shelving is true, it’s a shame the stones didn’t have enough faith in their fans .
worth buying for one of the greatest live performances ever - the who performing' a quick one' - and one which was only surpassed by the who themselves. they steal the show so one can see why the stones (who are good too) were reluctant for this to be seen. listen to the album version of' a quick one', then the performance at monterey, at this circus, at the coliseum and then live at leeds to hear the evolution and increase in power, interplay and virtuosity of the band which has never been equalled. tasteful drumming on here by mitch mitchell with the dirty mac also .
