the history of this song is that while Stevie went for a slash Jeff messed about on the keyboards and the drums and Stevie came back and said , hey man keep that shit going - Stevie then wrote the piano section and claimed the number as his own, this is why Beck has done it so often over the years to provoke him hoping Stevie would take him to court about it but he never has,,
The not speaking was for about two years. It was over "Superstition". It turned out for the best, the re-cut of the song where Jeff was gonna sing it would have never been a hot like Stevie's version. They spoke in 1974 when Stevie gave Jeff some new tunes. "Thelonius" being one of them and it ended up on BLOW BY BLOW, Jeff's biggest album ever.
Still singing it in the original key, he continues to amaze. Great to see Jeff Beck perform on the same stage with Steve. Weren't they not speaking to each other for a bit in the 70s or 80s?
It was 37 years ago and some months that this gem was created in NY by Stevie for Jeff. Motown had other ideas and wouldn't let Stevie give it to Jeff. Now in NY they play it live for the first time ever together. How fitting. Give it up for the guitar solo - Jeff Beck rules!!! Period
WOW -Thanks for posting this man! Incredibly awesome solo by Mr. Beck here and great to see him with Stevie on this fantastic song. WAY TO GO MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey im taking nothing away from Stevie , he's the dogs ballocks,, but all truly great song writers are slick thieves too,,
