the rolling stones - salt of the earth - rock and roll circus - stereo edit IIa

Edit 2a (r&r circus) for headphones. Another one from the "Rock And Roll Circus", very narrow stereo, or let's just say quite mono, that needed some sound "enhancement". The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a film of an 11 December 1968 event organized by The Rolling Stones. The original line up was going to be The Faces, The Rolling Stones and The Who and the concept of a circus was firstly thought up between Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane and was originally meant to be aired on the BBC, but the Rolling Stones withheld it. The Stones stated they did so because their performance wasn't very good. Others think the true reason was that The Who performed far better than the Stones. As is clearly to be seen & heard the Stones' performance was undoubtedly good, and it is also clearly to be seen & heard that anyone present wittnessed the awful messing up of this event by Yoko Ono, screaming and yelling like an idiot. I'm convinced the audience must have had their toes crooked and their ears covered during her "singing". No wonder the whole thing was postponed! For twenty eight years! Another reason may be the fact that all artists were recorded in stereo, while of the six songs the Stones performed' only two were stereo (no expectations & you can't always get what you want); the other five songs were recorded narrow stereo.
Nice thing about this video: Keith Richards reads the lines from a paper that Mick Jagger holds in his hands for him, watch him turning the page at 1:49
