Wings: The Forum, Los Angeles
Chris Salewicz, NME, 17 July 1976
CURIOUS BUSINESS, this intercontinental jet travel. High altitude transportation appears to have a spectacularly adverse effect on Britrockers' vocal chords. Old Jagger, now: there are those of us who feel quite firmly convinced that his Dartford accent actually becomes much more extreme with every Stones' US tour. God only knows what Janet Street-Porter would sound like if she joined a rock band.
