Entertainment Reviews:

The entire cast wears circus garb that looks left over from The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper cover, and there's a transcendent moment when Mick Jagger and John Lennon get silly with each other.

Description by OLDIES.com:

"You are about to be transported to another age: swinging London in the late sixties. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a time capsule. Two days in December 1968 that in many ways capture the spontaneity, aspirations and communal spirit of an entire era ... for a brief moment it seemed that rock 'n' roll would inherit the earth."

- David Dalton, 1995

Songs include: "Song For Jeffrey"(Jethro Tull), "A Quick One While He's Away"(The Who), "Jumping Jack Flash"(The Rolling Stones), and "You Can't Always Get What You Want"(The Rolling Stones).

Product Description:

Filmed as a British television special in December 1968 (which, incidentally, never aired), this good-natured circus hosted by the Rolling Stones features an all-star line-up of rock and roll greats, including Yoko Ono, mystical prog rockers Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithfull, and The Dirty Mac. Amidst the fire-eaters and acrobats, the show-stopping numbers include "Sympathy for the Devil," "No Expectations," "A Quick One (While He's Away)," and others.
