...didn't miss Rod Stewart until "Morning Dew," in which Carmine Appice proved his voice was only ordinary. Again the guitar brought the song off. Beck's solo explored the variations on one lick, after exploring several angles of single notes to discover that lick. The vocals on "Plynth (Water Down the Drain)" were ordinary--the vocal harmonies much tastier than the vocal leads. Beck dropped a cello styled chord into the middle of a solo, and took the band into "Shotgun," his only in concert thank you to Motown. It was cursory, out of place and served primarily...
