The #ChurchOfRockAndRoll #46 He was a whizzkid young session guitarist before joining The Yardbirds in '66. And what a dash he cut: the side parting with curls obscuring one eye; ruffled shirts & peacock clothes; the virtuoso flash of his playing. And always something *occult* about him.

"The records I used to listen to and still love, you can't make a record that sounds that way. Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today."

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #41 Frozen out of the songwriting, the Satyr struck out playing marimba, organ, recorder, autoharp, sax, dulcimer, mellotron, vibraphone and, most spectacularly, sitar. For 3 years the combo's music was illuminated & graced by his incredible sounds. #BrianJones #RollingStones

Good find. Worth a click to enlarge and read.
Velvets first live review of 1970, 16th January in the Chicago Tribune. Bold move for a daily newspaper to liberally quote the lyrics from Heroin.
