Beck, Bogert, & Appice - Superstition - Santa Monica May '73 stereo 

I'm still devastated.

Saw Vanilla Fudge in Nov '68 with Jimi as the headliner. Unforgettable show.

I envy u very much!!!🥲 I miss tim bogert

At the Tea Party by any chance? 🎸

mike pinera of iron butterfly was using the voice box (on "butterfly bleu") in 1971, two years before jeff beck. here he is with iron butterfly on german tv in 1971: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TQw-Kv4XZZ4.html

He's said he first heard Stevie Wonder using it. As a kid in the 60s, well before getting into Beck, I used to look forward to seeing this old guy on King Family specials who used something similar, perhaps by someone offstage, to converse with his pedal steel guitar.

Joe Walsh used it around same time on rocky mountain way

I have one , but nobody cares

Frampton killed the contraption. As Wayne Campbell put it "If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide” referring to the ubiquitous copies of "Frampton Comes Alive" in the mid-to-late 1970s. I saw Mike Pinera use "the bag" in early 1973 with a version of the late, great hard-rock band "Cactus," one that included none of the original members. The crowd in the gym at the Univ. of Florida went wild, and we all looked at each other as if to say, "What the fuck is THAT?!" In the end, its concept is limited and kind of silly. As an owner of this relic, what do you think?

I'm sure you meant Bogert.

Set me free

What's amazing here, is that although Beck is playing, the other two guys steel the show, the drums and bass are incredible.

There is still REAL Music around. Ain't Got No Money by Bob Seger Detroit

Nice!

Besides the Young Rascals and Cactus?

Check out Vanilla Fudge

Boxer in 1975 and 1976

He taught @; MI musicians institute Hollywood late '80s '90s. My buddy studied under him for a year monster vocalist and bass player complete 🌟

I saw them at Hampton roads coliseum 70 I think, couldn't believe how good they were. I was stationed Norfolk 🎃

Yeah, I think Beck and Blackmore are the two best guitarists of their time no disrespect to Jimmy Page but those two dudes are on a mother level

71 also. Saw Jimi and Vanilla Fudge live in '68 and yeah, like it was yesterday. That was my 2nd rock concert ever. 1st was Cream and the Grateful Dead. Damn I was lucky to see all that at 17.

Just heard a story that Jeff started it by playing the drum part! And Stevie took it from there.

@greatgeezer I did as well, at a swamp in Florida with Dr. John,

Great geezers in the 70s when I was learning guitar I knew this bass player who was in a band I used to go watch his band in his basement he had the full univox stack blue cabinets just like what Jeff is using and his guitarist played a 1968 Telecaster straight into that amp stack and I have to tell you that is some of the most beautiful tones I ever heard in my life I remember the tube head having these teardrop type controls on the front panel. On the rear panel I remember it saying 104 Watts. Since then I have only seen two on eBay for sale. The company univox was Japan famous for the tape Echo unit that Eddie Van Halen used for eruption. I used to own two of those tape Echo units what I wouldn't give to have one now.

First? Ever heard of a band called Cream?

Or Blind Faith?

MeinKochen Humble Pie? Cream? Blind Faith?

Cactus?

What about Cactus, which featured two out of three members of this band BEFORE this band?

I'm sure you meant Bogert. Probably gotten that his whole life. Even the announcer on the tape gets it wrong!

I was thinking the same thing. Peter Frampton stole this from Jeff Beck! Jeff Rocks!

The whole shebang is all Beck ola tricks...ask Frampton

It was, I believe, Jeff’s own invention, and for many years it was known as ‘Beck’s Bag’ (there’s a doctor’s-type bag which contained all the gubbins).

It's hard to say. Superstition got airplay on FM radio in the US. West Bruce & Laing were similar, and they didn't hit it big, either, although I think Why Dontcha got some airplay.

Because they had Jeff Beck. Even Clapton was cooler.

Maybe cuz the vocals mix was too low? Blame the sound man.

Lack of writing that would have kept them fresh... lots of different covers lost it's appeal without an infusion of their own music.

​@@stephanoffermann1137 Yeah, Beck was very temperamental. Perhaps he chilled a little as he aged.

Yup. Big blue Univox cabs.

@@greatgeezer I now think the amps are Sunn solid state amps, through Univox boxes. Another guy on the other vid from this show said that the amps looked like Sunns. I did some research, and the amps do look like Sunns, but the boxes look like Univox. I remember seeing a big Univox amp for sale once, had boxes that looked just like that. Either way, I love Beck's tone here.

It's pronounced - "App-peachy". Its an Italian name, with the emphasis on peachy. Apparently, most of America didn't make it past 8th grade, and mispronounce it as "A-Piece". Lol

I’m from Queens NY and hear it pronounced wrong all the time by these zumbatsas.
