GotToRollMe Thanks, Olompali, for the Cammell interview. Not only is Performance a masterwork, but it also spawned a great piece of music.

Memo From Turner
(Jagger/Richards)

Didn't I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night?
We were eating eggs in Sammy's when the black man there drew his knife.
Aw, you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed his sleeveless shirt,
You know, that Spanish-speaking gentleman, the one we all called Kurt.

Come now, gentlemen, I know there's some mistake.
How forgetful I'm becoming, now you fixed your business straight.

I remember you in Hemlock Road in 1956.
You're a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick.
You're a lashing, smashing hunk of man,
Your sweat shines sweet and strong.
Your organ's working perfectly, but there's a part that's not screwed on.

Weren't you at the coke convention back in 1965?
You're the misbred, grey executive I've seen heavily advertised.
You're the great, gray man whose daughter licks policemen's buttons clean.
You're the man who squats behind the man who works the soft machine.

Come now, gentlemen, your love is all I crave.
You'll still be in the circus when I'm laughing, laughing in my grave.

When the old men do the fighting and the young men all look on.
And the young girls eat their mothers' meat from tubes of Plasticon.
Be wary of these my gentle friends of all the skins you breed.
They have a tasty habit - they eat the hands that bleed.

So remember who you say you are and keep your noses clean.
Boys will be boys and play with toys so be strong with your beast.
Oh Rosie dear, dontcha think it's queer, so stop me if you please.
The baby is dead, my lady said,
You gentlemen, why you all work for me.

Why was Mick having an affair with Anita when he knew she was Keith's lady?
Was he trying to do to Keith what Keith did to Brian?


Anita slept with Keith when she still was with Brian and she also slept with Mick when they were shooting Performance.
Marianne slept with Keith when Mick was starting to date her and slept with Brian when he was living with Anita.

I think it shows how the girls had control and also I guess it was the 60's...As I read once, it was very uncool to be angry with someone because your partner were sleeping with someone else.

Keith was more conservative than the others, but sometime Anita said that Keith knew all boyfriends she had when they were together. So I think for both of them it was very normal. I'll look for this interview and post it here.

Bitch I have heard and read about the actual sex that MICK & Anita while shooting Performance, and although I have been looking for this footage for 25 years (could be more) I have never met anyone who has a copy of it. So either it never happened or it was destroyed.

Gazza It happened OK, but even if it exists, it simply doesnt circulate.

perfectpawn Re: the hardcore footage...

Yes, it really was filmed. Producer Sandy Lieberson was responsible for taking the extra footage to Amsterdam, where it was shown in the 1970 Wet Dream film festival as 'Performance Trims' or 'Performance Rehearsals.' Stills from this were printed in Oz, Peter Webb's book 'Erotic Art' and in a very expensive book of the festival itself. Lieberson still holds the footage but isn't showing it to anyone.

Jethrostone I wish I could see it. I'm too young to see it. Oh well. But I'm going to see Gimme Shelter!

Then you might not want to watch Tina's performance. It's R rated and your probably to young for that too.

I read somewhere that they actually edited out some of the Tina film so they could even get the R rating.
