The best thing Mick ever did. He never topped this. Yes indeed, "the only performance that makes it ... that really makes it ... that makes it all the way ... is the one that achieves madness." I watch this movie over and over (I rather relate to Turner) and see some new detail every time. Wierd? Yes. But deep, in its juxtaposition and comparison of opposites, with a bit of philosophy thrown in for good measure...
Why did anyone even bother to make music videos after this I never understood. It said it all, and the music really lights up. Masterful slide by Cooder...
Just listened to Ry Cooder's new tune "No Banker's left Behind". Although it is timely, witty, etc., it will NEVER beat his slide guitar "perfomance" on Mick Jagger's "Memo From Turner" in the movie "Performance" ;D
mesmerising! never knew it was Ry on guitar. incidently the guy at the door when mick says 'come in' was John Binden, a real life London gangster. TNX for posting
spiderlilies - u're right - this is Ry Cooder & band with Jagger singing - not the Stones! Cooder was considered for the Stones gig when Mick Taylor quit/got fired, but Ronnie Wood was mates with Keef! Lucky Ry - got to do his own thing which is a ####ing great thing!
