The Dirty Mac were an English supergroup
consisting of John Lennon, Eric
Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch
Mitchell that Lennon put together for The Rolling Stones'
ill-fated TV special entitled The Rolling
Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Recorded on 11
December 1968,
this was the first time that Lennon, who was still with The
Beatles, had performed in public without the other Beatles.
The Dirty Mac recorded a rendition of the Lennon-penned Beatles track "Yer Blues"
and then went on to back up Yoko Ono and violinist Ivry
Gitlis on a track called "Whole Lotta Yoko" (which was essentially an
extended blues jam).
In 1996, The
Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus album of
the event was issued, concurrently with a home video of the event. The
DVD issue followed in 2004.
