Jeff Beck: Beck Bogert & Appice Live In Japan 1973 Live In London 1974

Read "Beck Bogert & Appice Live In Japan 1973 Live In London 1974" reviewed by Scott Gudell


Will the real Jeff Beck please raise his guitar strumming hand? Will it be the musician who's recognized as one of only a handful of Brit Invasion guitar gods from the 1960s that includes Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page? Will it be the man who absorbed a gritty blues “message in a bottle" that floated across the ocean from the States to the UK? Will it be the musician who, post Yardbirds, went on to create a short-lived rock super ...

Jeff Beck: People Get Ready

Read "Jeff Beck: People Get Ready" reviewed by Geno Thackara


In the hands of Jeff Beck, a guitar could sing or cry as eloquently as a person, and an unexpected cover might become a fun rock-fusion chestnut with a new paint job. Curtis Mayfield's soul classic turns out to have all kinds of beautiful shades waiting to be drawn out by a solid and clever band (not that Beck played with any other kind). This live take is a surprisingly languid one, but the slow-rolling pace doesn't lessen the bounce ...

Diamond Dust: The Eccentric Genius of Jeff Beck

Read "Diamond Dust: The Eccentric Genius of Jeff Beck" reviewed by Doug Collette


The man played like he had a love/hate relationship with his guitar. One moment he could be ever-so-gently coaxing bittersweet strains from the strings and the next he could very well be wringing tortuous sounds from up and down the fretboard, as often as not thanks to his instinctively savvy use of the whammy bar. It was a testament to the unpredictable logic with which he played that such juxtapositions not only made sense, but perfect sense: the progression(s) could ...

Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story

Read "Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story" reviewed by Doug Collette


Jeff Beck Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story Eagle Vision 2018 Unlike its decidedly idiosyncratic subject, Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story is a wholly conventional piece of video work focusing almost exclusively on the musical progression of the British guitar hero. It may be intended less for devoted fans than those more casual musiclovers who've had their curiosity piqued about what of the man's done and how he's done it ...

Jeff Beck: Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Read "Jeff Beck: Live at the Hollywood Bowl" reviewed by Doug Collette


Jeff Beck Live at the Hollywood Bowl Eagle Rock 2017 As fashionable as concert sit-ins have come to be in recent years, such guesting can be the bane of the live performance. So often it is the case that such invitees can interrupts the flow and/or momentum rather than nurturing it. However, Jeff Beck's August 2016 celebration in Los Angeles of his fiftieth anniversary is the exception to that rule: the stream of diverse personnel ...
