The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (album) The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (album) The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is the fifth release of The Rolling Stones music by former manager Allen Klein's ABKCO Records (who gained control of the band's Decca/London material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein. Released in 1996, "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" is a live album that captures the taping of their ill-fated 1968 TV special, which was not broadcast until decades later. Seeking an original way to promote the newly released "Beggars Banquet", The Rolling Stones concocted the idea of recording a
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus Townshend, and three audio commentaries. Of particular interest in the Townshend interview is his description of the genesis of the Circus project, which he claims was initially meant to involve the performers travelling across the United States via train (a concept used for a short concert series in Canada that was later documented in the feature film "Festival Express"). The remastered DVD also includes a special four-camera view of The Dirty Mac's performance of The Beatles' "Yer Blues" (showing Yoko Ono kneeling on the floor in front of the musicians, completely covered in a black sheet).
