Recorded live in England on December 10-11, 1968. Includes liner notes by David Dalton. THE ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS documents a December 1968 show, originally intended for broadcast on British television, that featured clowns, acrobats, tigers, a fire-eater, the Rolling Stones and a menagerie of musician friends that included the Who, Eric Clapton, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The show never aired. The Stones, unhappy with their performance, shelved it. A clip of the Who performing "A Quick One While He's Away" made it into the documentary "The Kids Are Alright," but the rest of the show remained on the shelf until the 1996 release of a laser disc, video, and this soundtrack. The Stones put together this circus shortly after releasing BEGGAR'S BANQUET. Ringmaster/producer Mick Jagger recruited the above friends along with Marianne Faithfull, Taj Mahal and the relatively-unknown Jethro Tull. Twenty hours of filming resulted in a production that alternates between vaudevillian spectacle and magical rock and roll performances. Especially noteworthy is a blistering version of the Beatles' "Yer Blues" by the Dirty Mac, a supergroup featuring John Lennon on rhythm guitar and vocals, Eric Clapton on lead, Keith Richards on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The Stones went on at 1 in the morning on December 11, performing a set that included several songs from BEGGAR'S BANQUET and the not-yet-released "You Can't Always Get What You Want," sometimes playing a song two or three times to get it right for TV. Despite the numerous takes and the late hour, the Stones' intensity never flagged. This is, despite what they thought, a great performance. It builds up to a hypnotic "Sympathy For The Devil" and a rousing sing-along version of "Salt Of The Earth" that ends the circus.

Reviews  rock & rollcircusReview created: 05/25/08 by:  englands answer to woodstock. amazing that "pop" music dealt with unpopular topics.this explores suicide,devil worship,drugs,even the resolution of anger at being molested as a young boy(the who).this made it more apparent that the heroin from vietnam was doing some harm to the 6os rock scene and the musicians were dieing. The music thats the important part. this album captured some amazing talent.I wished i was there.with this cd i kinda am. thank you. Review ID: 10000000007279655 Was this review helpful?

Spend the extra few dollars and get the same on a DVD, as the CD does not do this recording justice unless you want to drive around just listening to this CD. I bought this CD in error, as the CD cover looked almost identical to the much better visual DVD. Review ID: 10000000003697544 Was this review helpful? Report this review  "Rock And Roll Circus" Is A Carnival For The SensesReview created: 01/20/00 by: e_burrell -- a member of Epinions Pros: Wonderful lineup of guest musicians including Jethro Tull, The Who, John Lennon, and Eric Clapton, Great live versions of six classic Stones songs Cons: Yoko Ono screeches for like three minutes straight at one point making one of the tracks unlistenable During the late 1960's The Rolling Stones managed to reach their artistic peak. This era is when their music had a real natural and dirty feel to it. The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus had been sitting on a shelf in some studio until just a few years ago. It was originally planned as an experimental "rockumentary" and filmed before a live audience on December 11, 1968. The audience was comprised of select members of the Rolling Stones fan club, and the idea was to have a music festival of sorts complete with other guest musical groups and circus performers.
