+[[Roy Estrada]] played the pope (or ''a Mexican pope'') during the Mothers' concert at the [[Royal Albert Hall]] in 1968.

Audio footage can be heard on the tracks ''[[Holding The Group Back]]'' and ''[[The Rejected Mexican Pope Leaves The Stage]]'' and seen in the film ''[[Uncle Meat (The Film)]]''.

Pope Paul VI. This is an offer that came into our office. The pope wanted to attract the youth of the world to a speech he wanted to make, and they were going to get all these rock groups to play. Popestock." ''
