BECK'S BOLERO - Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott's

[robertm2000]

Just ran across this - rather blows me away! Each person playing here must be a ... well, a virtuoso! Jeff Beck - when he started, I thought, "Where's the horn player!" And the rhythm section - the drummer (sorry I don't know his name) is solid with totally appropriate flash,and Tal plays so appropriately. The keyboardist is excellent too. Do you get that

I like this?

[HSECMAN]

tal is HOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dunedinman50]

They broke the mould when they made this guy, true guitar virtuoso, saw him play in the sixties in concert, we would stand watching and listening to him play, and he'd make you shiver with excitement, unforgettable experience, he's even better these days, if that's possible.....

[kujah1perc]

BIG RESPECT TO JEFF BECKS!!



[RaysTrack]

This has to be the ultimate band line-up - add a top class singer songwriter and I'd buy everything.

[caveman735]

@RaysTrack Jeff Beck wrote this tune, along with virtually all the other tunes he play's.

[hugatag]

@caveman735 Actually Jimmy Paige wrote this song for Jeff.

[toddallenhooper]

I'm throwing away all my picks, seriously, this guy can milk any tone he wants out of that strat!

[doncarvill1963]

@toddallenhooper Awesome isn't it!

[noodlam]

[holycrap9098]

I don't think anyone was looking at Jeff there :P

[oker59]

the drumming is perhaps underrated here;

[mrJimCharles]

@oker59 Back when Vinnie used to play with Sting, this drummer I knew told me that Sting had him on a $1,000,000 retainer, a million bucks a year to be always available to him, whether they play or not (and it was probably true). I think at least that these big-name acts that hire him don't underrate him.

[ParadiseDungeon]

@oker59 Vinnie is awesome, and already a awesome Drummer

[whatsbelowyou]

@oker59 Vinnie Colaiuta has been around FOREVER man. Amazing drummer.

[410bassman]

@oker59 No kidding. This is such a hard song for a four-piece band to pull off live. It could easily sound hollow and thin, but more than anything I'd credit Vinnie for keeping it full and strong. Of course, Jeff, Tal and Jason are fabulous. But with a lesser drummer, it likely would make you wish for the studio version.

[oker59]

@410bassman

Hello,

I first learned of Jeff Beck with his "Guitar Shop". I had to look up who the drummer was then; oh well; Jeff Beck knows how to pick them, ha?

[410bassman]

@oker59 That was Terry Bozio on "Guitar Shop." Actually, the person you should credit with knowing how to pick them is Frank Zappa. Both of them played with Zappa when they were starting out. Steve Vai has a great story about Vinnie playing an incredibly complex piece of Zappa's that dazzled even Zappa and Vai.

[oker59]

@410bassman

Well, I had Dweezil's first album on tape; but, it's gone now; i've been checking it out, some "my guitar wants to kill your mama", and then some Frank with Stevie Vai; i'm now convinced of Frank Zappa.

I then started checking out Dweezil's main website, and as it turns out! He's in concert in San Diego in a couple of hours; if I don't want to miss it . . . !

[caveman735]

@410bassman Ever head (the late) Cozy Powell Play? He Wasn't no "lesser Drummer.

[BasementBeginnings]

@SuchAsimpLman Robert Plant in the back?

[stickymagoo]

Have you ever wished you were a bass guitar? I did, just now.

[1952FMS]

behold the reining god (imo) of the electric guitar. everytime i go in search for another i wind up here.. thx for the post.

[Jonannellejul]

@1952FMS That includes all the incredibly taleneted fusion players, Dimeola, Mclaughin (whom Jeff admires), etc., any of the metal shredders Vai, Petrucci, Satch, you name it. On the electric guitar there is Jeff, and there is just everyone else. He expanded the vocabulary of his instrument.

[ronnied828]

would love to pluck Tals strings

[SunnyDays951]

Thank You for uploading one of the best Sir Jeffrey Beck tunes. Thanks.

[ericgenocidex2]

<3's Tal

[michaelallenfarmer]

Goddamn, tal is so cute! thumbs up if you agree!

[eqsmooth]

@michaelallenfarmer We all fall for the babe bass player (yes she's hot but she is not taking advantage of her looks) and then we get over it & realize she is the next Jaco Pastorius. So, get a life.

[caveman735]

@eqsmooth Jaco Pastorious was a drunk asshole. That is why he was beaten to death outside a bar in Florida. Tal is a sweetheart.
