By SHAUNA SNOW POP/ROCK Stones' 'Circus' Finally Arrives: The Rolling Stones' ambitious "Rock and Roll Circus" film will get its premiere--28 years after it was shot--at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 12 and 13. The film, with performances in a fantasy circus setting by the Who, Yoko Ono, Marianne Faithful and Jethro Tull as well as the Stones, was left unedited after the death of Stones guitarist Brian Jones in 1969. Allen B. Klein, who managed the group in those days and whose ABKCO firm oversees the group's '60s catalog, says, "There had been talk of reshooting the Stones' part at the Colosseum in Rome and we had everything set up for that. But then Brian Jones died and no one wanted to go back to this, so it just drifted." The only clips publicly released were one with the Who, licensed for that band's 1979 documentary, "The Kids Are Alright," and a brief portion in the Stones' 1990 video documentary, "25 x 5." Then in 1991, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg was brought in to edit the footage into a completed film. However, Klein says that there are no plans yet for other screenings or for a TV or home video release. ------------------------------ From: scaf@pro-net.co.uk (Steve Coleman) Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 23:11:32 GMT Subject: Gig Revue - Armitage Shanks + The Splash Four Here's a little revue for those of you following the current garage scene. = =20 Apologies if it hits below the belt in places. These words are only meant= =20 in jest. SC. Armitage Shanks + The Splash Four Thurs. 15th Augusts The St Johns Tavern =20 She's A Girl, A Girl With No Brain... After ten hours deep inside Toe Rag Studios the Splash Four took=20 a break for their first stage appearance here in London. Despite a=20 busy day these Parisians were still hyper enough to deliver a short=20 set on equipment kindly loaned by Armitage Shanks. Showcasing=20 their new material, Lili, Jack, Gip=E9 and Jip=E9 dished out some tough=20 and energetic punk rock action. Actually Gip=E9 (the man behind 'Le=20 Monde Infernal' and 'Ils Sont Fous Ces Gallois' compilations) was=20 hitting the bass peddle so hard that it gave way twenty minutes=20 into the set. After quickly deciding that sticky tape was not going=20 to remedy the problem, Vic Flange, skin pounder with Armitage,=20 commandeered the bass drum and placed it on top of an amp in=20 order to thump along to the remaining songs. Fortunately for Vic's=20 right arm and the Four's vocal chords (they were overdubbing the=20 next day) proceedings were wrapped up ten minutes after the=20 mishap. Japanese label 1 + 2 Records financed the Toe Rag=20 session and are due to release something in the near future. So=20 look out for those records. Do You Want Some Shirts Off or What! This was the first gig by Basil Bile, Rod Vomit, Dick Scum and Vic=20 for three months and the toilet trained ones were soon flushing like=20 the clapped out convenience that we know. Opening the second=20 of their two sets with 'Our Friends Electric' this punter was soon=20 musing whether there is any song Armitage Shanks cannot give=20 their special twist. However an aborted run through 'Making Your=20 Mind Up' by Bucks Fizz soon answered that question. Falling=20 back on old favourites like 'Another Beer', 'Shirts Off' and 'Barry=20 Rutter's Famous Darts Club Band' (to the tune of 'Sgt Pepper')=20 quickly proved that Dick can still screw up his own songs just as=20 well as those of the rich and infamous. =20 Despite both bands being on good form there were only a miserly=20 twenty punters for this show. Perhaps London is not the place for=20 kicking punk rock from two of Europe's finest exponents of the E=20 bar chord. As Monsieur Scum said "We always dig playing the St=20 Johns Tavern when we pass through your fine city ...playing the=20 same shit to nobody. Yeah maaaaan so let's rock out". Still at=20 least it's good to hear that the Shanks remain the punk rocker kings=20 of irony. "Enfin" let's hope that kick drum is working again for next=20 weeks Headcoat's gig. =20 More stuff on the St Johns Tavern at : http://idun.unl.ac.uk/~hfa9colemas/western.htm Steve ------------------------------ From: Chris Reid Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 15:32:25 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #62 (fwd) This is from an unapologetic Kiss fan...made me laugh, anyway.

He does a cool version of "Yer Blues" with all-star backing, is seen rapping with Mick in a sort of goofy bit. I'm assuming this is still in the new edit of the thing?! (I have a bootleg copy of it...) There might be more Lennon still, I can't remember at the moment.
