...revolutionary music. The kids kept it revolutionary, defiant of what already existed, because they always liked best what was new and different. So rock had to be creative, and each generation of high school kids grew out of liking it--or rather, they were pushed out. But now Mick Jagger throws a party that Lord Harlech comes to. What have you got? People who are going to drag rock music into middle age with them...
...Entertainers occupy a quasi-sexual world onstage, symbolically conquering entire audiences with their vasty charms. A good rock performer must maintain a tremendously sexual presence onstage, and let it be known in various ways that he's got a bigger one than any two men in the audience. C.F.

Not to mention the special thing that Beck and Mick Waller have going. (It is the virtue of the Jeff Beck Group that even within the together sound there is room for special partnerships.) Waller, drumming, is anguished in expression and his hands fly at Jeff's beckoning. Beck stands right by his shoulder watching the drum rallies shake the notes out of his guitar so they slip into the crevices...
