IF I AIN'T
DEAD ALREADY
GIRL, YOU KNOW
THE REASON WHY
The Dirty Mac
was
John Lennon's
temporary
supergroup
organized in
December 1968
that featured
Eric Clapton,
Keith Richards,
Mitch Mitchell
and Lennon
under the
nom de plume of
Winston Leg-Thigh.
The band assembled for
a one-off performance
on
the Rolling Stones'
TV special titled
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
The Dirty Mac
played Lennon's
Beatles composition
"Yer Blues"
and
"Whole Lotta Yoko",
an extended
blues improvisation
in which they were joined by
Lennon's then-girlfriend
Yoko Ono
and violinist
Ivry Gitlis.
The TV special,
which included
appearances
by
the Rolling Stones,
the Who
and
Jethro Tull,
among others,
did not air
as originally planned
and was not
released officially
until October 1996.
