tom b. 57 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I just finished endulging myself in the Jeff Beck, performing this week...live at Ronnie Scott's dvd. Man I thouroughly enjoyed this one. I am just amazed at the level of his performance at this venue. The one and only time I seen him in person was in the mi to late 70's. I don't remeber exactly what year, or month for that matter. Things are a little hazy in that time period for me. I do remember that I was totally floored with his performance back then. Now that I think about it, he was playing with Jan Hammer. It must have been around 75' or 76'. I beleive he opened for Aerosmith and Aerosmith sucked. Wow, it's starting to come back! Could this be a break through? Has anyone else enjoyed this dvd? If so, what are your thoughts? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Haven't seen that DVD, but I also saw him in the mid seventies, either 75 or 76 in San Antonio, he opened for John McLaughlin. It was the first concert I ever attended; I've only been to a handful of concerts in my life not counting the ones I perform. As a guitar player now for the last 40 years, I was deeply impressed and am still influenced by both Jeff and John. Here's a picture of me playing...

russ69 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 My brother sent me the DVD (10 bucks at Wally World). I've been a big Beck fan from the 60's. This DVD is a good mix of his music. He starts off with Beck's Bolero (not Ola, edited) so I was sucked right in, he has such a fine touch on the guitar. It's a nicely produced DVD, the small venue makes it special. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
