...most flagrant is its tendency to overload its hour and a half show with acts. As big a problem is the tendency, in the first show at least, to mix white-oriented and black-oriented acts. Kopkind's point about the apparent change in audience to white for Bo Diddley's set is easily explainable. His lack of understanding of it does nothing but further display as ignorance introduced by his demand for the concert as "upbest emotional experiece." Bischnees does not guarantee a black audience.

...other "obtained" narratives such as a magazine article on Butler that never saw print. But despite his care in sticking to the format of a report, Mills slips into a trap posed by his own tight prose: no transcripts ever carried the power which he infuses into, say. Bo's description of the book's climatic scene in which he is locked in a darkened elevator with The Stick, with each pointing a loaded pistol at the other's abdomen...
