Description of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus:
Conceived in late-'60s London, this literal three-ring would-be "television spectacular" featuring the Stones and a select cadre of friends and associates became (along with the Beach Boys' Smile album and Bob Dylan's Albert Hall concert) one of the era's greatest unreleased projects. When it finally surfaced in the late '90s, those overinflated expectations all but guaranteed it a tepid response. Legend has it that the Stones originally nixed it because they felt overshadowed by the Who, but it's likely the shelving had more to do with the band's then-unsettled state of affairs. The Stones' raw, powerful set here both bridges the first Stones era with what was essentially the swan song of band's ill-fated cofounder Brian Jones, who would be fired for ongoing substance-abuse problems. (That really took some doing in a band that also featured Keith Richards!) Also notable is the one-time-only teaming of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Richards, and Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell (as "The Dirty Mac") for a long, loud, and lugubrious workout of Lennon's "White Album" standout "Yer Blues." --Jerry McCulley

2009-10-15 - A collection of a live show that included John Lennon and Eric Clapton. It's great. I recieved it fast and in great shape.

2009-01-31 - The Rolling Stones - Rock and Roll Circus
What can you say about a recorded show that, until the late 1990's, was kept from view to the general public, (for reasons unknown), but, turns out to be one of the greatest 1960's period rock musical performances ever captured on film?
Everyone involved, from Taj Mahal & John Lennon to Jethro Tull, The Who & especially The Rolling Stones themselves put on a wonderfully memorable show! Looking at it now makes one regret that many of the participants are no longer physically with us, (Lennon, Jimi Hendrix Drummer Mitch Mitchell, The Who's Keith Moon, pianist Nicky Hopkins), but, the most obviously missed person to me, is the late Brian Jones.
This show turned out to be his last public performance with The Stones & I understand he was not in the best of health. Despite that, the band performs a blazing set in the final act that not only sounds great, but is fascinating & very entertaining to watch.
This show has been described by some as a 1960's time-capsule of a moment in time that was great & will never come again. That sounds about right to me!
Some of the other features, such as additional acts performances & various voice-over commentary choices add even more depth.
Thia is one of those rock music shows & soundtracks that really should be in your personal library if you're a fan of The Stones, The Who or just 60's rock music in general.
Two thumbs way up there!

2009-01-09 - This is a real treat, but it helps to see the video of it too. Great for folks who remember and enjoy these bands. (Not only "Stones" music)
Forgotten Memories
2008-04-05 - I was in college when this came out. I guess it was only released in the UK and probably on TV. Still it brought back memories of the time - 1968. Everyone looked so young in the video, still the music was great especially if you want to see the Who and the Stones and what they looked like 40 years ago. The production was perhaps a little amaeturish but still a fun watch.
'You are forgiven', but not if you don't by this CD
2008-03-28 - This is a great CD, I really enjoy The Who's performace of 'A Quick one While He's Away' Taj Mahal's 'Aint That A Lot Of Love.' I play this CD over and over again.
