Jeff Beck - Play With Me

[MrRadarpro]

I almost forgot about this one. What a great track...

[thelusienorchestra]

Wired for life!!!!!!!!!

[mcrhythm2]

Yes!

[probrojeffro]

Funkified!

[wedgem]

Epic song. Perfect example of what can happen when two musical geniuses collaborate, namely Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer....

[zzzxxyy]

Jeff Beck, what an underrated and underserved hero.

[Paiste2002100]

I'm gonna say, what someone else said elsewhere about the "WIRED" record......This is "cruising at the cosmic level"! Never heard said so WELL!

[H057IL3]

3:00

That sounds like something you'd hear in Super Mario.

o_O Awesome.

[nkerns]

"Wired" is, for me at least, easily the best album Jeff Beck ever put out.

[bruce369able]

@nkerns have to agree!

[rapid287]

Hahaha he looks like Malcolm's mom

[14KENSETSUDO]

T,was does good.

[bigal838]

@poisonoustea Why not?

[probrojeffro]

Notice how well composed, felt, and arranged his songs are. Some talk about how Beck is inferior to Satch, Eddie, or other speedsters. But it's not about speed. I forget just how damn good this album is. My favorite Beck recording .Thanks for the post.

[itzjoeymac]

feelin' the funk

[driverofsound]

For the last 35 yrs BECK has always been in my top 3. So has Page, Yngvie, Lifeson, Iomie, Mustane, sometimes even Clapton and fideen others! Did I misspelll eny?; Fuck ove!...I'm a kidder, shut up!

[bloozemc]

percussion and guitar at its finest....and yes...he was made to play just like this...funk...jazz...fusion...

[MrVerncoleman]

@bloozemc agreed!

[chuckbyf]

Best fusion team ever, Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer

[osensei2987]

Jeff Beck is one crazy ass mofo! This dude lost it (in a good way) a long time ago! What guitarist in his right fucking mind would use tone settings like this? Let alone be able to make them sound good! I think Jeff would sound good if he farted into the mic! What a legend!!!! Long before shredders came on the scene. Before Van Halen! Before any of them... there was JB!

[MrVerncoleman]

@osensei2987 i agree. he was all that back when he was playing mostly rock, but when he started playing jazz/fusion like you said he lost it!

[osensei2987]

@MrVerncoleman WTF is wrong with fusion? Fusion is what makes Beck great!

[cerelilqt]

@osensei2987 Insanity =/= genius

[19211265]

@osensei2987 excellent but precise description of the best and my favorite guitarist of all time...oh and of course ahead of his time!!!!!!!!

[Rude69er]

We would try playin these tunes in the 70's in High school....now even as a mature player they have their own trip. No matter how good you you think you sound it never matches the perfection of this sound,Timeleess as well

[bluelibra65]

i can recall hearing this, and getting a contact high, everytime the folks went out, ...

[myownservant]

Amazing musical landscapes

[scottslovegun]

i wish emotion and commotion had the balls blow by blow wired and there and back did.

[scottslovegun]

i love jeff beck and walden is one of my favorite drummers.i love albums when everyone is is a highlight on the album.i love the drums!

[vikingthrone345]

this song is amazing, what an outro

[hotlanta71]

definitely Jan Hammer on the moog

[ibigdaddy]

This IS Jan Hammer on keyboards, but interestingly,in the middle there is a part in the middle that sounds like synth, but is Jeff,saw them live on this tour.

[musictranscription]

I'm getting this sheet music

[fasteddy60]

thad99......cool !

[fasteddy60]

thx 4 posting !This is great !

[myownservant]

How can this have 4 stars? Honestly

[Drblooter99]

Beck is the only great rock guitarist of the 60s and 70s -- clapton, page, blackmore, hendrix, etc, -- who could do fusion. Beck was not as smart harmonically as a typical jazz player. But he could hack the complex rhythms and energy of jazz-fusion

[SubRosaStructure]

@Drblooter99

I feel your love and you know sounds and also remember that Nine To The Universe by Jimi Hendrix is considered by many the first fusion experiment to be recorded, pre-dating all other fusion albums.

[driverofsound]

@Drblooter99 Well put! You good enough on guitar to match me on drums? One of many things I can back up with gusto!

[jc19641]

uma referência p/ os musicos iniciantes

[Hamerguy68]

This isn't Jan Hammer on Moog on this song but Max Middleton who does all the keyboards on this song. Check out his work with Hummingbird (for example: You can't hide Love, Anaconda, Anna's Song or Gypsy Skys, you can find them on YouTube). Jan Hammer plays on several other tunes on the "Wired" album. I like Jeff Beck, but I always loved his backing bands (from 1971-1977). Also great backing band on the 2009 tour.

[earwaves58]

Middleton lays down the great clavinet part that starts the song off, but that's definitely Hammer on the Moog breaks. No one else had that exact style -- check out Birds of Fire or Elvin Jones' On the Mountain. . .or just look up Mahavishnu on YouTube for many examples of this sound.

[plungerdrum]

Actually, no. Jan Hammer played ALL synthesizer on this album, and Max Middleton did the Rhodes, Clavinet, etc. But, Max DID play all keyboards, including the Minimoog on Blow By Blow. :)

[catworkscw2]

このアルバムではこの曲が一番好きでした。

この次の曲も好きで、ベッドに入ってヘッドフォーンで聞いている­と、この曲のあたりになると半分眠りながらが快感でした。なつか­しいです。久しぶりに聞きました。

[MysteryClown000]

5* for sure

[thad99]

jeff was one of the few 70's rock guitar gods that shared the spotlight with everyone on a record. every song on this album and 'there & back' are timeless! everyone kicks butt on these records. thanks jeff and company.

[mrimac2000]

Jeff Beck Narada Michael Walden , Jan Hammer and Max Middleton Just a great line up...Richard Baileys drumming is also surperb on this album check out Good bye pork pie

[FyodorMDostoyevsky]

Richard Bailey is also great on Backstage Pass!

[lapwiz]

Best Beck album ever!

[lapwiz]

*****

[truck2112yes]

I love this song...a great combination of rock and funk.Jeff Beck was on fire back in his days with Jan Hammer.

[JOSEGOYES]

COOOOOOOOOL..................

[chicagoslew]

Jeff

Still the Best!!!

[onelovega]

Man I miss the old Beck bends. Kickass album.

[twebb63]

That's Michael Waldon on Drums. Best Drummer on the Album.

[lidesnowi]

His name is Narada Michael Walden.

To be correct.

[truck2112yes]

I love His work with Mclaughlin.

[maccreng]

this is a happy tune...

makes me smile every time!

[maccreng]

I love this whole album (cd)...

I remember listening to it in my bro's room the year it was released.

[mannbearpig]

2:58 - 3:14

one of the best sounds/segments ever

[ricardomontalban07]

nicely done, ty

[macman13]

I have this album on vinyl, good stuff.

[thad99]

hendrix and clapton are blues guitarists. that's fine and dandy. hendrix was my hero as a kid. but beck is coming from somehwere else. he plays from the soul. 'wired' and 'there and back' are two of the most complete rock guitar records ever recorded (in my opinion). he shares the spotlight on these records. there are great songs on these albums. the drums, bass and keyboards are all featured. it's not just a collection of guitar riffs. he's incredible.

[MilesMuhldoon]

aye.

[nebricklioum]

the sound of this record is exceptionnel.

every instrument has his own sound .the drum

is cery compressed and the guitar are very present .

In french we say it's a "chef d'oeuvre "tha means that this record will enter and stay in the history of music.

[oclero]

masterpiece est le mot anglais ;)

[travkatz]

Jeff Beck really doesn't have a peer in my opinion, OK Jimi Hendrix coaxed some serious stuff out of his axe, too. No one else can do what he does, with only his fingernail and tremolo. NASTY is a good word. He can quite literally make his guitar SAY stuff. But then again, it is also my opinion that he never before or after Wired made so much out of his talent. Wired was truly his crowning, ultimate achievement. Sure other good work he has done, but not like Wired.

[HammondB200]

The nicest moog sound i've ever heard, gonna buy the album only for this few minutes of moog-sound.

[Steacy783]

Man this was my favorite,,put the head phones on and played along on my drums album in the seventies !!! OH yeah,,,still is !!;}

[DrumPlayer11]

jeff beck rocks like hell :D

[YassineSaidi]

that's some real Jazz-Fusion !

[itzjoeymac]

Or is it ROCK-FUSION? In the case of the 'Grandmaster' Jeff Beck, it probably is more ROCK. Whatever it is, I LOVE IT.

[HammondB200]

The names Jazz-Fusion and Rock-Fusion make nonsense. Fusion means: a mix(=fusion) between jazz and rock

[nebricklioum]

is it Nrada Michael Walden the drummer.

what a drummer

[FlamingoReaper]

Yep, that's Narada who actually wrote this and 2 other tunes on this record...

[amsedelm]

Some of his melodies remind me of Mahavishnu Orchestra. Jan's influence most likely. Jeff rawks!

[yankeesinflorida]

jeff beck is god!

[thejoad]

He has his finger up his ass-again

[MY599FERRARI]

What the hell does that mean?

[governorgilf]

A very captivating song. Blow by Blow and Wired are two of my top ten albums of all time.

[cheesehat89]

i agree, i also think "there and back" is pretty good

[bentnosewp]

My favorite song from this release!

[emerson134]

Doesn't Get Much Better...Just wish Jeff Beck made more of these albums.

[carbon4me]

A classic song and performer............

[Maze22]

Jeff Beck at his finest. Unlike Jimmy Page, his bandmate in the Yardbirds, Jeff could be soulful and rock.

[DiegoDCvids]

Great song!!

[piccolo7diavolo]

It's all too much. Very best.
