The Rolling Stones rock and roll circus


Description


I december 1968 organiserede Mick Jagger og Michael Lindsay-Hoog en rock-koncert, hvor de inviterede en række gæster ind, heriblandt John Lennon, Yoko Ono og The Who. Det BBC-filmede tv-show blev aldrig vist, bl.a. grundet utilfredshed med produktionen fra The Rolling Stones. Det fik sidenhen biografpremiere i 1996.

"The limited Deluxe Edition of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus may rescue the film from remaining (arguably) one of the lost artifacts of contemporary rock and roll. Originally set for 2019 release in this format while the iconic band was on the road in North America, a delay due to Mick Jagger's health issues now has the CD/DVD/Blu Ray and digital content in circulation coincidental with announcement of not only the rescheduled tour dates, but also as a 1997 concert film, Bridges To Bremen (Eagle Rock), becomes available in a similar range of configurations ... As a result, The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus becomes a wholly engrossing experience, one worth repeating multiple times in order to fully utilize and appreciate the panoply of angles it presents on 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world' before the group itself was ready to assume that mantle".
