Pre-Motown sickness and a diet of Goffin-King brought them to the highest pinnacles of late fifties R 'n' B. And they faded, just as they should've, the day the music died.

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 as an introduction to Tim Bogart's feedback-laden, extremely histrionic and essentially unnecessary bass solo...
