Jeff Beck: “Why My Strat Always Beats a Les Paul”

 

[VitaliyN]

Blow by Blow, Flash and Jeff are my favourite albums. One of the few thanks to whom I took Stratocaster.

New live album from the maestro:

JEFF BECK: 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' DVD, Blu-Ray Due In October

In the summer of 2016, guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck celebrated fifty years of his musical career with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl. Beck set the stage ablaze with incredible live versions of "For Your Love", "Beck's Bolero", "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers", "Big Block", "Over Under Sideways Down", "A Day In The Life", "Blue Wind", and more. The night also featured guest appearances by a legendary list of special guests, including Steven Tyler (AEROSMITH), Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ TOP), Jan Hammer, Beth Hart, Jimmy Hall and the great Buddy Guy.

On October 6, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release this concert film — "Jeff Beck: Live At The Hollywood Bowl" — on DVD+2CD and Blu-ray+2CD [MSRP $29.98 DVD, $32.98 Blu-ray]. Additionally, a DVD+3LP version is available for pre-order exclusive through PledgeMusic [$49.99].

Over the course of Beck's illustrious fifty-year career, the trailblazing guitarist has earned many accolades. He's been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame twice — first as a member of THE YARDBIRDS in 1992 and then again, as a solo artist in 2009. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as one of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and he has earned a total of eight Grammy Awards during his long career. From his time with THE YARDBIRDS, to the JEFF BECK GROUP and his solo career, Jeff Beck's sound and stylistic exploration has mesmerized fans and critics worldwide. This concert captures his musical journey, with a set list spanning from his first YARDBIRDS recordings to recent tracks from 2016's "Loud Hailer". As the evening progressed, Beck was joined onstage by those legendary peers. The show climaxed with all guests delivering a stirring encore performance of "Purple Rain" in tribute to Prince, who had passed away a few months before the concert.

"Live At The Hollywood Bowl" is a stellar showcase of Jeff Beck's history and musicianship, and a fitting addition to Eagle Rock Entertainment's collection of Jeff Beck titles.

Also I had completely forgotten that he appears in the movie Twins, staring Danny Devito and Arnold Swartzenager. There is that bar scene where Jeff is playing with a band. I remember being completely surprised and somewhat amazed the first time I saw Jeff’s scene in the movie.
I need to watch the movie with my kids sometime.

And speaking of a mythical time known as “the 80’s”…

I generally dislike Rod Stewart's vocals, but he always seems at his best with Jeff Beck.
