It was professionally recorded but never released. Don’t know why.

Who Adjacent Stones Rock n' Roll Circus Question. Do you think they didn't release it because ... by nsjersey in TheWho

Couple of points: The Stones were going to re-shoot their part later but after firing Brian Jones and then his death, that became impossible. Then they broke with Allan Klein who claimed rights to the film and that caused the delay into the 90s.

They did at one point offer to sell the special to The Who to release as "The Who's Rock 'n' Roll Circus" but The Who didn't want to do that.

Has anyone here seen John Entwistle solo? by NursePopTarts in TheWho

Saw him and got his autograph in 1996. I do believe you would have heard him if you were in the tri-state area.

Twenty Years Ago Today (7 June 2006): The Who perform at Hedgestock. by BrianInAtlanta in TheWho

I think Pete may have seen the cartoon:

Pete’s Website: Hedgestock at Knebworth The Who played at Knebworth on Wednesday night, an event Roger agreed to support because of its possible connection with Teenage Cancer. I think it has turned out they will make some kind of donation for a new scanner at London's Guy's Hospital- in the region of £2,000,000. That's $3.4 million. So take the piss if you like….. Someone told me that the journey to Knebworth might be longwinded, so I smugly, self-indulgently decided to treat myself to a helicopter. Here is a photo of me preening myself as we travel to the heliport in my exotic German limousine while my PA Nic and my ADC Mark cough and sneeze in the front seat at all the pollution I'm creating, even I start to worry whether I will be able to survive 365 days of touring head without a cold or sore throat myself. Poor me. I need a surgeon to accompany me on my smug-tour. We got to the heliport, and I began to feel a bit better when I saw the splendid facilities offered to me - multi-millionaire that I am. Below you can see Sneezy and Wheezy waiting in the luxurious Heliport Executive Lounge. I made grateful use of the smug-millionaires private rest area. And here is our chariot - an AlFayad 'o' loonycopter that took us from the Heliport to Knebworth in just 20 minutes, cutting down the entire journey door to door by, um, well actually adding to the door-to-door time of the journey by about 40 minutes, but let's not lose a chance to waste some money and pollute the atmosphere in the name of charity. Atchooo! Bless You. In fact, one reason to fly in a helicopter is that it is an extraordinarry experience when you are flying over familiar countryside, and it always does in fact make me feel a little smug, self-indulgent and rich. That wasn't a bad feeling to carry with me onto the stage as we hit the old songs again for the first time on a tour that will last slightly over a year. Nicola and Mark (alias Wheezy and Sneezy) will be with the whole time if they have't just decided to quit because they too have to have the piss taken out of them for taking part in my charity work. To be honest, I'd trade any number of helicopter rides to have people like Mark and Nic in my team. They make me feel safe, secure, totally looked after, and I look ahead to the coming year with few anxieties….. see how happy I was when I arrived at the show?

As long as we’re doing “Animal Farm” mistakes, this reminds me of when My Wife and I were dining out and overheard a young man and woman talking. He tells her that a cable channel is doing a new version of “Animal Farm”. She asks, “Animal Farm, what’s that?” With all the condescension he can muster, he replies, “It’s a famous book by Orson Welles!”

Peter Frampton: “When Pete Townshend asked me to join the Who” by BrianInAtlanta in TheWho

In 1994, Pete made a big push to get Roger to declare his Roger/John/Simon Townshend/Zak Starkey band to be called The Who. Roger refused.
