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.

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #45 German-Italian actress Anita Pallenberg was modelling in Munich when she met a touring English rock band. One of them, a Satyr, became her consort and they were briefly the world's most colourful and controversial couple. #AnitaPallenberg #RollingStones #BrianJones

The #ChurchOfRockAndRoll #43 A big star by 1966, Otis Redding had a supreme voice, dynamic stage presence, curiosity about music and a genius for the authentic transmission of emotion. What a road lay ahead of him. #OtisRedding #KingOfSoul

The #ChurchOfRockAndRoll #42 Widely thought to be the most beautiful pop record ever made. It probably is.

"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.
