Rock & Roll Circus


11 December 1968, The Rolling Stones put together a live audience for a concert on a circus stage, hosted by Mick Jagger.  It was intended for tv but it never made it.
Jethro Tull, The Who, Marianne Faithfull, Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, John Lennon and Yoko Ono all performed - interspersed with footage of trapeze artists and fire eaters.
It finally made it to VHS in 1995 and then to dvd in 2004.

Here is supergroup 'The Dirty Mac' (Lennon , Clapton, Mitchell and Keith Richards) with 'Yer Blues'


And the Who. I love them so much. Perhaps this performance is what prompted this blog - 'A Quick One While He's Away'


Oh yeah... The Rolling Stones with a very glossy skinny Mick Jagger - 'Parachute Woman'

  1. Mick Jagger had an amazing pair of lips. I once saw him suck an egg out of a chicken.
