Technology: STARRY CIRCUS

TV special The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was a Mick Jagger– helmed vanity project that somehow went horribly right. The chaotic show–a hybrid of circus and rock concert with some of the hottest acts in swinging London (John Lennon, the Who)–was shelved in the 1960s and not released on video until 1996. The new DVD adds commentary from Jagger, Yoko Ono and others. Keith Richards mumbles the best line: “I remember not remembering everything towards the end.” But watching a young Jagger lead the Stones through sublimely insolent versions of You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Sympathy for the Devil is simply unforgettable.
