On October 11th at 7:30 PM local time, fans across America can gather at 53 Regal Entertainment Group (REG, NYSE: RGC) theatres across the country to relive this moment in rock history in a One Night OnlyTM Big Screen ConcertSM event, presented by Regal CineMediaSM (RCM) entertainment services, ABKCO Records, AEG Live and AEG TV. Advance tickets are available at select Regal Cinemas, United Artists Theatres and Edwards Theatres* box offices nationwide and online at bigscreenconcerts.com for $12.50. Event day tickets will also be available at box offices or online for $15.00. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was originally conceived as a BBC TV special. The show was filmed before a live audience at Intertel VTR Services Limited TV studios in North London in 1968 but it never aired, remaining virtually unseen by the general public. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus centers on the original line up of the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts (with Nicky Hopkins and Rocky Dijon) - who serve as both the show's hosts and featured attraction, performing six Stones classics-to-be including "Jumping Jack Flash," "Parachute Woman," "No Expectations," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Salt of The Earth." The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus also includes full length musical performances by some of the biggest British bands of the era including The Who, Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, Yoko Ono, and The Dirty Mac - a group that was the first musical context in which John Lennon performed before an audience outside The Beatles. The Dirty Mac was Eric Clapton (lead guitar), The Rolling Stones' own Keith Richards (bass) and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience (drums) with Lennon on guitar and vocals. A mirthful conversation between Jagger and Lennon to introduce The Dirty Mac finds them referring to each other as "Winston" and "Michael" with Jagger affecting a convincingly flat American accent and Lennon referring to himself as "Winston Leg-Thigh." The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was directed by pioneering music video director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Audio for the main program has been remixed in 5.1 surround sound. Visual source for the DVD is a new digital transfer from the original 16mm negatives. ABKCO Records will release The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus for the first time on DVD October 12th. * The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus Big Screen Concert will be presented at the following locations: Market Theatre Location / Address |
