Years of midnight screenings have turned around the critical consensus from “worthless” (Richard Schickel) to “a sophisticated visual and aural knockout” (Glenn Erickson). Jack Nitzsche’s score was one of the first to utilize the Moog synthesizer. Mick Jagger’s “Memo from Turner” segment is widely considered the first rock video.
