Just like the movie "let It Be," there has to be additional film footage of the Rolling Stones rehearsing with "Lemon Squeezer," "Route 66," The Dirty Mac playing "Revolution" and so on. The fans would love to see it.
@@vadouis-rt3of there's audio of "The Dirty Mac" having a busk thru "Revolution" It falls apart with Lennon claiming he can't remember the words... But without the exquisite guitar overdrive on the record, it just sounds like a nondescript blues boogie shuffle "Yer Blues" suited the show way better
@dancingtrout6719 Yoko's ex-husband did keep Kyoko from John and Yoko. After much chaos he won custody of the child. In the late 1990's mother & daughter were reunited. Kyoko lives a quiet life now. She did say in an interview that John Lennon was always kind to her.
Pretty sure it was named after that group. Lennon and the rest of the Beatles were fans of Fleetwood Mac, especially their guitarist Peter Green. Their song ‘Sun King’ on Abbey Road was inspired by Green’s song ‘Albatross.’ Lennon’s anger towards McCartney was a bit later, around 70/71, when they were suing each other and writing nasty songs about each other.
"The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus," like "Magical Mystery Tour," did not see the light of day in the United States for decades. You read about it in books and magazines, but never saw it. It was released in America around the time of mass internet, 1996, and since then a lot more information has come out. But given the popularity of the Beatles and the Stones, it's very surprising that it was not marketed in 1968. A clue for the artlessness can be found in director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who set back, "Let it Be."
@@hankwedelmusic9965 I cringe every time I watch that performance ngl. Mick’s whole gimmick feels so forced to me. I can’t, for the life of me, understand why everyone likes it so much. To me it doesn’t hold a candle to the Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out version, which I actually prefer over the studio recording.
@@nerderspree I agree that the YaYas version, despite the jettison of the last verse, is ALWAYS an almighty listening experience due to Mick Taylor's divine solos...

@hankwedelmusic9965 I mean, I hear ya. I tend to think they weren't really locked in for this performance though. I know Brian was supposedly so messed up that he was talking gibberish to people and slurring his words and stuff. I definitely agree that Mick had to do something, and I think he was the only one trying to bring the energy up a bit. I just feel like he wasn't really getting it back. Sort of made the performance a bit flat behind him. His voice sounds great though. As for the gimmick, I really just mean him taking his shirt off to reveal the "tattoos" and getting on the ground and all that. To me it just felt a bit forced. But I'm definitely glad you enjoy it. We are all entitled to our opinions, of course. At the end of the day, we're all Stones fans anyway 😀
Back in the day, I read it wasn’t released because the R Stones weren’t happy with their performance and felt they were upstaged, especially by the Who’s performance
I think their point was, that Brian didn't really play with the Band. Nevertheless the Stones played an epic version of "Sympathy for the Devil", maybe the best version ever.
@@trajan6927 So right you are, Sir! I am lucky enough to have seen them 3 and a half times … If it counts, the “half time” was the stage version of Tommy with Roger playing the part of Tommy and Keith the part of Uncle Ernie
That looks a lot like Tony Iommi with Jethro Tull. He did play with them for a while, before energizing Black Sabbath again. It would be great to see the actual footage.
The movie credits say Tony Iommi. Coincidentally, watched the DVD last night with the wife and was surprised to see Tony's name appear at the end in the credits.
Until 1997. There were interviews about the show by most of the Artists documented since at least 1971 themselves. The reason it didn't come out in 1968 is because of Allen Klein. That bastard tried to suck the life out The Rolling Stones and also managed to Break Up The Beatles. Doing Business with the Mob in the late Sixties requires British Naivety, and he got it. Poor evil, manipulative, money lustful capitalist, rude, intimidating, selfish destructive bastard he was Not just the Stones and the Beatles, but Every Band who signed under his mob based contracts. Not a fair or nice guy. More like an intimidating, offensive turd Remind you of someone? Guys like that and Morris Levy and others are not alive here and now to be Ashamed Of Themselves. Sad. Who cares anyway..? ABKCO.
Tony Imoni of Black Sabbath Actually played with TULL on this performance. It's to bad The Dirty Mac was a ONE off. John was the first Beatle with Supergroup . The Who nailed it. The Stones last performance of Brain Jones rocking a Gold Top.
Been on sky arts today , I must say that if you were tripping on acid you might be able to understand what's happening , mind you it was the swinging sixties
The video is about the rehearsals, not the actual taped show. At the rehearsals, the Dirty Mac did play Revolution. A few years back, a deluxe DVD edition was released of the Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus. Part of this deluxe edition included a CD of some of the recorded rehearsals, which included Revolution.
This commentary is rubbish and full of bs in my opinion. If it was such a creative and artistic success was it suppressed and never released because it was basically a mess!
Rather poor, nothing new, a bunch of stills. And good thing the narrator said someone was at the event to confirm that Lennon played Yer Blues. Otherwise we never would have known he played it.
The video which was derived from the original film of the Rolling Stones' R&R. Circus is somewhat interesting mostly for Mick and Keith interplay and performance, playing guitars and vocals..Lennon's participation was not so interesting in my opinion. I didn't like John Lennon's music or his attitude in the second half of '68 or all the way through the early 70's s (exceot for his work with Elton John and David Bowie) Mybinyetest in the RS R& R C. IS PUTELY as an artifact from a timevofvyrsnsitiin for both the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
To Lennon's defense, he was by this time a heroin addict (after Yoko introduced him to the drug) and on the other side of his best years as a songwriter. By this time, McCartney had surpassed Lennon as a songwriter and group leader. So cut Lennon some slack.
@@MarkBarna1 I always thought Lennon's songs late '60's were at least the equal of Paul's offerings & often better! A de facto group leader who turns down recording Cold Turkey, offered by Lennon as a possible Beatles single, & thereby signals the end of the group beggars belief!
@@MarkBarna1He never surpassed Lennon as a songwriter. John had just dominated the White Album and released Revolution...pretty darn good song dipstick.
No mention of Taj Mahall with the great Jesse Ed Davis. The Who did blow everybody off the stage. Yoko's schtick is still crap. The reason it was never released is because the Stones weren't happy with their performance, but actually they were good.

"Yer Blues" suited the show way better
@@hankwedelmusic9965 Thanks for the info.
If I remember correctly. The Who's performance resurfaced again in their own film years later, The Kids are Alright.

John & Yoko
keyoko was her daughter ,, yokos x husband tried to keep her fom yoko and john

The Dirty Mac was not named after Fleetwood Mac. It was a reference to Paul McCartney who Lennon disliked at the time.

The Who blew everyone else off the stage that night. The Stones didn’t go on ‘til early in the morning and looked like they were half asleep.
asleep. cute. drugs. they were on drugs.
The Who were great but the premier performance of
"Sympathy For The Devil" is sublime...

If this was such a success, why didn't we see and hear more. All I've ever seen are these photos.
The Stones weren't happy with their performance - felt they'd been upstaged by The Who- and so binned it for many years.
This video is misleading and a disappointment.....just common photos seen many times over!
Thankyou 5 min wasted is 5 min lost I coulda shaved
Yes, tho not a big fan of the yoko, I'm with her on the kangaroo thing
Yup.

Yes. He very briefly played with Tull before Martin Barre, and that's him.

It didn't air at the time because The Who blasted the Beatles and Stones into music pre school.
@billwhite9703 not very smart to have a great live band like The Mighty Who play at your gig, what could go wrong? Maybe hide the video for 25 years?
I see Toko was wearing her witches hat. Very appropriate.
Miaow !
Also heard they ran through Paul tune "Wild Honey Pie"
Tony Imoni of Black Sabbath
Actually played with TULL on this performance.
It's to bad The Dirty Mac was a ONE off. John was the first Beatle with Supergroup .
The Who nailed it.
The Stones last performance of Brain Jones rocking a Gold Top.
Been on sky arts today , I must say that if you were tripping on acid you might be able to understand what's happening , mind you it was the swinging sixties
as if to imply that when you are not on drugs, you cannot understand. But, in reality, when not on drugs you totally understand what is happening.
They didn't play Revolution, they played Yer Blues.
He said that: Revolution WAS REPLACED by Your Blues.
