The Dirty Mac's performance of "Yer Blues" is a legendary collaboration from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, a 1968 concert film organized by The Rolling Stones. The supergroup, The Dirty Mac, was a one-off band consisting of some of the biggest names in rock music at the time:

John Lennon (of The Beatles) on vocals and rhythm guitar
Eric Clapton (of Cream) on lead guitar
Keith Richards (of The Rolling Stones) on bass guitar
Mitch Mitchell (of The Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums

"Yer Blues" was originally a song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon, and appeared on The White Album (1968). The song is a raw, bluesy track, reflecting Lennon's feelings of isolation and existential despair, despite being in India with The Beatles during a spiritual retreat.

The Dirty Mac's live version brings a grittier and more intense energy, with Clapton's powerful guitar work complementing Lennon's emotional delivery. The performance is iconic because of the rarity of such a lineup, and it captures the electric atmosphere of the late '60s rock scene.
