I wonder how many readers on this forum are aware of your reference 
to "Performance" which I saw about 5 times when it came out when I 
was about 15 years old.  A pretty groovy movie, but as a 15 year-old 
I went back again and again for the bath tub scenes in which Mick 
suds up with the incredibly beautiful Anita Pallenberg (who later 
married and had children with Keith Richards) and another lady.

The co-director of the movie (it was his first) was Nicolas Roeg 
whom I did not appreciate at the time but who has since directed one 
of my all-time favourite movies: "Bad Timing (A sensual obsession)" 
starring Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell (who Roeg married), and 
Harvey Keitel.  Just an incredible movie that I am constantly trying 
to get a DVD copy of but they haven't released it yet in a format 
compatible for US DVD's.  I once sent away for a video copy on ebay 
that was of very poor quality because it was a bootleg and I have 
never bothered to see it in full because it hurts too much seeing a 
version where the quality is so bad.

Roeg made three movies where he made had a Rock star in the starring 
role: David Bowie ("Man who fell to Earth"), Art Garfunkel ("Bad 
Timing"), and Jagger ("Performance")...kinda like that nutty but fun 
director Ken Russel who made several movies in the '70s with Rock 
Stars.
