Keith says, "How many times have we all watched fingers going up and down fretboards? The thing that Marty did with it was he turned the observation into a Rembrandt. It shows the beauty of the guitars themselves. It wasn't just who was playing them. It was the loving shots of the instruments themselves, which I found very, very, very nice."

The most overrated rock act ever, right beside Jimi Hendrix. From the same era there were probably 500 superior bands--from Steely Dan to Echo and the Bunnymen. Rolling Stones?

They were still kind of an alternate band. It was too loud and the usual fan madness. I think it was the last rock concert I ever attended. Don't miss them as I grew to prefer "real" music of different genres since then. Loud and distortion and unintelligible lyrics is not my idea of music. And rock stars usually typify self indulge on a scale never before seen. ICK I was at a Stones concert in the late 60s. They were still kind of an alternate band.
