...thundering and the light show irrelevant. Jeff Beck a streaming presence jerking, in sweat, on his guitar laying sheet after sheet of sound authoritatively down. The great Nicky Hopkins in one corner of the stage hunched over piano holding together the music with his discreet and rippling underpinning. Mick Waller on drums, his eyes fixed on Beck, face contorting, eyes glazed, his arms chopping, producing a sharp and clear rattling as each drumbeat rams more or less neatly into Beck's flying notes. Rod Stewart, the singer, a man of flinty beauty, and a fertile smile, has a tingling roughness...

Curiously, although we now see more of Singer, he has become a guardian angel rather than the guiding light he was in the novel. One no longer has the feeling that his presence is essential in the lives of most of the characters. He now just hovers about at a distance. Singer's tragedy--the fact that he never really...
