Apart from anything else, the whole “Rock And Roll Circus” kind of thing was kind of embarrassing. We tended to just kind of watch and keep our heads down. We didn’t feel it would be proper to go over and start having conversations with John Lennon or whoever and push ourselves on them or to try to hobnob with the stars that were already hugely successful. IA: Without overdoing it, yes, they were quite polite, but we sat on the sidelines.
GM: As the new kids on the block, so to speak, were the other Circus participants hospitable and accepting of you?
In addition to performances by show’s hosts, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi and MarianneFaithfull also took part. Eric Clapton (from left), John Lennon, drummer Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Stones’ own Keith Richards performed as the one-off supergroup The Dirty Mac. The Rolling Stones' "Rock and Roll Circus" brought together plenty of big names on the British music scene - and not just in the expected combinations.
