Stones rock me

If you have the means, I highy suggest you pick up the Rolling Stones' Rock 'N Roll Circus on DVD. Terry, bartender extraordinaire at Buck Bradley's on State Street, played the Dvd tonight on the bar's flat screens...and it was sick. Absolutely off the chain.

The Stones themselves were not what made it great, per se. This was an actual circus type show om Dec. 11, 1968 that featured the Stones, Jethro Tull, The Who, Lennon. Clapton, Taj Mahal and a bunch of audience people in ponchos. Oh God. I've never seen more high people in my life (except for Kent State, May 4, 2000...). At least, not on DVD.

The performances are of all the hits, as can be expected.., but the most awesomely recockulous part of the show exists about 30 minutes in, when John Lennon is on vocals, Clapton in on lead guitar and Keith-freaking-Richards plays the bass. Aw snap. Watch it, listen to it, download it. Hear it. Preach!
