Title: RIP Jeff Beck
Post by: rn57 on January 11, 2023, 02:34:14 PM
From Mike Stax of the Ugly Things zine the sad news that a sudden attack of meningitis has taken Jeff Beck. Whether or not you think his tour with Brian was an interesting experiment or a mismatch or maybe even a success, no denying the enormous degree to which he expanded the possibilities of the electric guitar. I stood 15 feet from him at his Louisville show in ‘76 and the word phenomenal is what comes to mind all these years later. RIP

I must admit I don't know a lot of Beck's work. Anyway, condolences to his family and friends.

I have the "All the King's Men" album by Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, which features Beck on one track (also Ron Wood):

Brilliant guitar player who played when and what he wanted and continued to get better.  Amazing.  Notwithstanding some remarks about him referencing his time with Brian, seemed like a down to earth bloke who didn't succumb to the rock star trip BS.

Fave LP -- "Rough and Ready."
