I like the passage after the 2nd main theme repetition @ 1:29, when Vinnie changes the beat to a straight snare hit at 2/4 and 4/4 and Jeff just chops out a great solo!

@callingeuterpe it was in 1983....i kinda heard the same thing, that he had to sober up first to play, but i remember a LONG wait and a real LONG concert and now that you mention it, i remember the sythesizer on the guitar strap being played too, most of the rest was ahaze kinda, a friend had borrowed a car and we got hammered before the concert, i remmebr walking real far to get there too, and also jumping ovewr these bushes BUT there was a wall and adrop-off we couldnt see, lika 10FT dropoff!

@jrkzx12r I was at the same concert and had dropped some cid before it was supposed to start. What a drag sitting there for hours tripping,- not knowing when he'd show up(...or maybe sobber up). I'm not sure what the year was either. Jan Hammer played the synth like a guitar player. That album was so cool because it was like two blues-jazz guitarists playing off one another.

@DogCatchersBand ...Oh MN, MY BAD...my mistake, i misinterpreted your remark comcerning who looked for whom.....we have the same knowledge. Forgive the remark about "diligence".....perhaps I should work on my "comprehension", eh??? Keep on rockin' anyway, and may you improve with age as well as Jeff Beck has....

@DogCatchersBand ....Hendrix found Beck, do your due diligence, although; as Hendrix learned tricks from Beck, the sharing of styles was truely complimentary to each other....Hendrix was more expeditious using everything onstage, while Jeff was and is still, somewhat of a perfectionist that worked on each sound studiously before bringing it out in public. Jimi stated once that JB showed him anything he asked about his Yardbird sounds and Jeff, I'm sure, picked up some tricks from him too.



Brings back memories of 1980 when me my friends saw Beck live at Cobo Hall in Detroit. It was Jeff, Simon Phillips on drums, Jan Hammer on keys and The Professor on bass. I can remember the Professor was playing a fretless Alembic Series II all night long. Naturally Jeff was playing a variety of vintage strats. A great night I will never forget.

Beck is awsome! Jimi was using the whammy and doing his thing before beck, check the music.
