Sly & The Family Stone: The Palladium, Los Angeles
Chris Charlesworth, Melody Maker, 10 November 1973
HOLLYWOOD: Will he? Won't he? Will he? Won't he? Sly Stone's reputation is too firmly etched for these questions not to be asked when he's advertised to appear anywhere in the USA. His tantrums and failures to show for concerts are legends to the extent where his contracts now contain a clause about a heavy penalty for non-appearance.
