The film was meant to be aired on the [[BBC]], but the Rolling Stones withheld it, contending that they did so because they felt their performance was substandard; they were clearly exhausted after 15 hours of filming (and some indulgence in drugs).<ref name="ultimateclassicrock.com">{{cite web|url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-rock-and-roll-circus-concert/|title=The Story of 'The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus'|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|date=11 December 2015 }}</ref> It was [[Brian Jones]]' last appearance with the Rolling Stones; he drowned some seven months later while the film was being edited.
