The Dirty Mac were a one-off supergroup who played in late 1968 at the Rolling Stones' Rock & Roll Circus live special

Unlike the Beatles version from the White Album (in the key of E), The Mac played this in Eb. Eric, John and Keith all tuned their instruments down a half-step to Eb, a technique that Hendrix and other rock bands used at the time. It's possible John wanted to do this because it is easier to sing in a lower key

Here's the gear they were using for this live performance:
John- Epiphone Casino into Pete Townshend's Sound City L100
Eric- Gibson 335 into Brian Jones' Fender Black Showman
Keith Richards- Fender P Bass into Bill Wyman's Triumph 100w Lead and Bass
Mitch Mitchell- Charlie Watt's 1960 Gretsch Round Badge 4-piece kit

For Eric's 335 part, I'm using a 1970's Greco 335 copy. It is very similar to a Gibson 335, but is fully hollow instead of semi-hollow. I'm using an Analogman King of Tone on the drive side, going into my 1965 Fender Black Bassman. Eric was on the bridge pickup for the whole performance, as am I

For John's guitar, I'm using my Epiphone USA Casino on the bridge pickup. I'm also using the Analogman King of Tone, but on the boost side. Also going into my 65 Fender Bassman
