The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus

I thoroughly enjoyed this disc. As usual, The Who stole the show, but a young Jethro Tull was outstanding as were The Dirty Mac, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithful and the stones. I could have done without Yoko screaming, but that’s another story. If you haven’t seen this show, I highly recommend that you get it ASAP.

This new release of the legendary Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is only a slight upgrade to the original DVD/CD released in 1995. There is no new footage or commentary beyond the extras provided on the original release. Even the David Dalton essays are repeated. Oddly, the photo gallery from the original DVD is missing from this edition. Because this show was recorded in 1968, there is only so much that modern technology can do to improve the sound and visual quality. The colors on the video are noticeably brighter and cleaner, and the audio is just a bit more cleaner.There is a bonus that this edition provides over the 1995 release. A second CD contains the audio from the bonus performances by Taj Mahal, The Dirty Mac, and Julius Katchen that appear on the Blu-Ray and DVD. And there is never before released audio of The Dirty Mac rehearsing “Revolution” and “Warmup Jam.” Plus the Blu-Ray, DVD, and CDs are all in one package. In 1995, the DVD and CD were available only as separate releases.This is still a 5 star release as it was in 1995, and the upgrades make this more so.

Nice item , just be aware that you will need an all region DVD player.

I ordered the 50th anniversary on blu ray. I had the original Rock and Roll Circus on dvd. Its not much off an upgrade compared to the original. The Stones played a lot of unreleased tracks during their rehearsal for this film. They could have added these tracks for the disc. I wanted to see more Stones with Brian Jones, the founding member and leader of the Rolling Stones. Its still a great disc if you have never owned it especially seeing Brian Jones perform. IMO, The Stones out performed everyone just because of Brian Jones. cheers

I am giving the “deluxe version” a low rating of three just because of the price. I decided to splurge for the “deluxe” version but now see I could have got the same thing for about half the price or less even. The two audio discs are the same as the 2 disc set and I obviously don’t need both a DVD and a Blu-Ray disc. Otherwise it’s cool and if the money doesn’t matter to you get the deluxe set. The booklet isn’t much but there might be a tiny bit more info than you’d get otherwise. If I’m wrong please correct me. Also, why does the format say DVD? It’s two CDs, not DVD-audio discs. Then there is the DVD and Blu-Ray disc.

Product description states 192/24. That’s why I replaced an earlier version. Unfortunately, that’s an error. Only 96/24.

I collect Rolling Stones kites of all kinds so a new deluxe issue was a had-to-have item. Very nice box - haven't opened yet. New in the box!!!

For fans new and old, this is a great set to have or give to others. Having seen the Stones and others on the DVD set live in the 60tys, it is great to be able to see them in high quality in 2019.

Excelente producto, excelente precio, entrega muy rapida.

Brings back memories of being in the audience for most of the filming. Seeing all the great artists and being amongst them during breaks in filming. The package brings back those memories. Sound and vision great, performances also although I was little dubious of one of the written accounts in the package, whether this person was actually there.

期待が高かった分ちょっと残念。

Genial, el CD 1 me encantó ya que es una obra de arte, el 2 es bueno pero se nota a leguas que no es el material principal. El bluray es muy bueno y se nota la restauración, he leído algunas opiniones en las que se quejan de la calidad pero solo es el ruido de las cámaras porque está grabado en vivo y en interiores con poca iluminación, de hecho eso lo hace ver más natural y sublime.Lo mejor es poder ver las actuaciones de Taj Mahal y de Dirty Mac.

Excellent, A must have for Stones fans !
