ongs,” Dan admitted. “We have four solid
ongs that we chose to be the four singles
hat represent us. I think that our next step
s going to be to create a cool vinyl EP and
ave a tangible product that we could fully
elease and start shopping around to
gents, labels, and managers.”
As a relatively new band, Signal the
aunch hasn’t had very many opportuni- fan base on social media,” Dan said. “We
want to get more people to follow us and
come out to the shows. It's basically trying
to grow the audience and get outside of the
city area.” Signal the Launch are ready for
takeoff in 2020. For more information on

Continued from page 24 strums a jangling acoustic during “No
Expectations.” The newly recorded “You
Can’t Always Get What You Want” offers a
glimpse into the band’s plans for 1969,
with a bleary-eyed but smiling Jagger
singing directly into the camera during the
wee morning hours of December 12, 1968.
After the riveting “Sympathy” with
Richards’ stinging riffs, Rocky Dijon’s
propulsive conga and Nicky Hopkins
sparkling piano, the Stones finish in the
stands joined by the crowd and assembled
artists for goodnight song “Salt of the
Earth.”
The four-disc box set includes the film
on DVD and Blu-ray formats with newly
mixed high-definition audio. Bonus fea-
tures include footage of the circus clowns
and a new interview with Pete
Townshend. The film also includes com-
mentary tracks by Jagger, Richards, direc-
tor Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Ono, and
Faithfull. One audio CD consists of the
soundtrack. A second disc offers previous-
ly unreleased audio, including “Corinna”
and two more songs from Taj Mahal, as
well as a rehearsal take of “Revolution”
among extra cuts by the Dirty Mac. Rock
and Roll Circus may have initially been
shelved, but today it stands as a colorful
time capsule of the Rolling Stones youth-
ful days and vibrant reminder of popular
music’s cultural power in the late ‘60s.
– Jeff Elbel
doubles on harmonica. Stones guitarist
Keith Richards introduces The Who. Fresh
from the road, the quartet performs a
thrashing but an accomplished version of
mini-rock-opera “A Quick One While He’s
Away.” The band was perfecting the form
at the time, recording their groundbreak-
ing album Tommy for release the next year.
Following acts of derring-do by an aging
pair of acrobatic spouses, Richards’ per-
sonnel invitee Taj Mahal performs an elec-
trifying version of “Ain’t That a Lot of
Love.” From the crowd, drummer Charlie
Watts welcomes the elegant but downbeat
Marianne Faithfull. She sings “Something
Better,” the B-side from her then-forthcom-
ing single “Sister Morphine.”
After the fire-eater, John Lennon makes
his first public performance in nearly two
years with the Dirty Mac. Lennon and
company follow the Beatles track by sup-
porting Israeli virtuoso violinist Ivry Gitlis
and a caterwauling Yoko Ono. In a delib-
erately surreal program, “Whole Lotta
Yoko” seems like the most daring material
to put before a 1968 prime-time British TV
audience. Lennon then introduces the
Stones, who open their segment with 7-
month-old single “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” as
fans leave their seats to dance in the color-
ful ponchos issued to them as a wardrobe
for the program. Four of the Stones’ six
songs are from Beggars Banquet. Brian
Jones plays slide guitar while Richards
