Default Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scotts

This is a DVD of Jeff Beck playing some great blues. The drummer is the the drummer from Frank Zappa. The bassist you Aussies will love this a 22 yr. old GIRL from AU and she can play. These guys were jammin and having fun doing it.
Jeff Beck is a legend to me. The man can get everything out of a guitar and more. He was playing blues like no one else can. You might say Eric Clapton but there is no way. You have to buy this DVD for 9.00.

That was one of the first Blue Ray discs I bought.
It is amazing in hi def.
One of the best releases of the year .
The Blu Ray also has an extra set of RockaBilly songs on it.
I was introduced to Tal on the Crossroads concert DVD.
That gal is going places.

Yea, I can't believe it came out in 2008(?) and I did not find it till late 2009, and I keep an eye on Amazon with their great prices and good services so I was dying to get it. And that was an amazing performance, every song that he does is not just better but perfected even more. I don’t see many musicians do it that well after the years pass on, too often like Steely Dan, they got to change it too much, to make it different (and they are tired of playing the same yet again, I can understand that), but we all remember the song the way it was ingrained in our brain with great memories associated with it. A few tweaks of a song is ok but if you got to change it, do it like Jeff does, somehow keeping the original song intact while adding even better flair, polish and I don’t know what else, that’s what impresses me so much!

I just had to tape this DVD so I could hear it easier, but now scored the digital for the car CD player. Liked his interview too, nice to see he is no longer that much of a recluse, and with this DVD, will leave a wonderful tribute to his life’s work, nice!!

A guy at work loaned me this dvd. Great music (and a cute bass player to boot). She looked like she was having the time of her life playing in his band. The only bummer was the regular dvd did not have the rockabilly session on it. That had to have been amazing to have been in the audience that night.

Yea, lady can just lay back and play that bass so well and with little effort, it just pours naturally out of her soul (22 years old during that gig, damn!), it's mesmerizing to watch, even JB after her solo was like . Her CD on Amazon is big bucks for some reason , good reviews on it though.

Did you check out the extras folder, saying that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, along with Brian May and Jon Bon Jovi where in the audience some night(s)? Double cool to have been there on of those nights like you said.

It is a must see I am telling all my buds, not a disappointed one in the bunch yet

I'm recording it on my K 960. I haven't recorded on it since I got it back from Nacdoc. I'm using the Phoenix metal in the old shell to see if I can get it to mess up. See how it sounds and I did find the focus button on the 960. It says sharp and soft.

Tal Wilkenfeld - bass (who has her own CD out, as well)

She can also be seen on the 2nd Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD playing with Beck. I've always liked Beck; but, seeing up close how he does what he does is jaw dropping. As a 27 year veteran of the guitar I can testify that what Jeff Beck does with an axe is pretty ridiculous; a true visionary and musical talent. I highly recommend his entire catalog (including the Jeff Beck Group w/Rod Stewart and his work with Jan Hammer, Stanley Clarke, etc.) to anyone. This isn't useless shredding. This is a study on excruciatingly beautiful melodies, unrestrained energy and technique from Pluto. It's a good work out for your gear, too.

Jimmy Page can be clearly seen in the audience at one point on the Ronnie Scott footage.

Great pick!!
