Jeff Beck, 1944-2023. One of the absolute greatest rock guitarist's ever, a true musical legend. Boy could this kid play. R. I. P.😢 I will mourn his great loss for now but soon I will celebrate his life, his genius, his music. Hallelujah!!! ROCK! 🌟🎧🎼🎶💯🍺🎉🎊🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The thing about Beck is he wants more out of the guitar than the guitar is willing to give....but he just takes it anyway. superb player, very original and quite inspiring.
What I love the most about J.B. is how utterly original his every move is.There are thousands of technically brilliant guitarists but vanishingly few have left such an unmistakable imprint.
I've listened to this dvd many times, and it keeps getting better with each listen. Do yourself a favor, turn off the video and listen to the entire band. Unbelievably tight. The keyboard solo here is fantastic, the drumming is flawless, the bass lines are sweet. Jeff's guitar sounds like a 6 string analog synthesizer. Miles Beyond.
"The Drummer", Lol's that's one of the all-time greatest musicians, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Not criticizing you, just that every drummer who watches this knows him right away.
Ronnie Scott's in London. Great venue for up close and personal action! Watched The Buddy Rich Big Band there many years ago. What can I say! Great playing from Jeff, Vinnie and the young but very talented Tal Wilkenfeld from Australia.
I saw Beck and Jan Hammer in 1975 at the Starlight Amphitheater in the hills behind Burbank, CA. A GREAT show. Jeff killed it. Jimmy Page was in the audience.
Love that they can play through the mistakes and laugh about it. Of course I'd be happy to have a band nearly as tight as this. But alas, that's just a pipe dream I fear. To get a drummer that good and a bassist that slick would be an impossibility in this part of the world. Or at least so it seems.
Most people don’t know that Max Middleton re-recorded this, one year after the Jeff Beck cut, this time with vocals: enjoy! ✌🏻🤩 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T_bHbzzlqlc.html
I was listening to a Jeff Beck album around '73 or '74 while eating my dinner. The songs were mindless diplays of speedy scales with no feeling or direction at all. Got me so wound up and pissed off I pushed away from the table grabbed the record and flung across the room. Hit the wall shattered into a million pieces. I felt much better until the wife reminded me it wasn't my record. A friend gave it to me for a listen. Shit!! I had to buy my a brand new album for him (which is only fair)
Hmmm...as I think back 'Wired' might be the name of the album featuring Jan Hammer. L.D. if you see this it was your record. I live in Windsor, CT now. I'm listed so call if you can...
Apparently, Beck's first guitar he made in a woodwork class and he didn't know how to position the frets properly so it didn't play properly. His solution was to bend the strings into pitch which is how he developed his style.
@bluesborn One of the best points about Jeff Beck I've ever heard. The cleanest, smoothest player? Hardly! But damn is he not completely original, innovative, and constantly (attemptedly) duplicated? Yes, I made up the word "attemptedly"
@WWladek lol how I said basically the exact same comment without havig seen yours .... we do a cover of "come dancing" w my bluegrass band when we've had a few....
