@ofirharlev The short delay he has makes the guitar sound like a hollowbody. Les Paul used the same trick.

Loved the PBS special so much I bought the DVD off Amazon. Just a glorious celebration of roots rock and jazzy pop. And I'm more impressed with Beck on this concert than Live at Ronnie Scott's. He shows an amazing command of his instrument, running through a dizzying array of styles with aplomb, much more than any other concert I've seen of him. He also really looks like he's having fun.

I've played guitar for close to 50 years and I remember The Les Paul and Mary Ford televison show from TV's golden years. This performance is brilliant and I just can't believe the emotion I'm feeling everytime I watch this. What a band! Don't make a comparison with any other player just enjoy the show!

@The170460 That's too bad. I'd be depressed if that were my Setzer experience.

[The170460]

@richcapo i can't agree his lead part is absolutely horrible on this one. I've seen Setzer on stage this year in Paris and his show (rockabilly riot) was poor.

[richcapo]

@The170460 I think he does that song marvelously. I think he makes Beck look like an amateur on it, even.

[The170460]

@richcapo sorry but Setzer is not good in his rendition of the Eddie Cochran classic Twenty Flight rock. I'm a big setzer fan but during this show he made a poor performance.

@everogere I personally think Beck is way out of his league here technically and musically. Beck is great at what he does, but this is not it. Watch his duo with Setzer from this concert. Beck looks so bad next to Setzer that it's embarrassing. Still a great player, though, just not as great as his fans often make him out to be in my opinion.
