[telefmt]

wow

[gjmarck]

I have a 4 CD set of a couple of nights worth of shows and Jeff continues to make my head spin. Supported by Tal on bass the sets were simply amazing.

[DStefani]

Is this on a DVD?

In the future if the question where asked, "so what can you do with a Stratocaster?".
There would have to be a long answer with much Jeff Beck involved.

EXCELLENT post!

Thanks!

[DiazDude]

One of the most amazing talents ever.

[Rowwe11]

Thats great stuff. Wow!

[BIGGERSTAFF]

Wow indeed. WOW!:RoCkIn

I don't think there is a DVD planned for release, which is a huge disappointment.

[DStefani]

Yeah, I did some research after this and I guess there's supposed to be CD released next year.

The BBC site has the whole show but you have to be in the UK to view it.
Dam you Britts! ;-)

I don't want to break any rule but I've found a good quality copy online

Praise the broadband....yes 16:9 and DVD will soon follow...

[JLaps]

Jeff Beck is the man!

[GuitarsFromMars]

a force of nature...

[Tuberoast]

Having seen him open for BB King about 4 years ago..he was truly amazing. This DVD will be a must

[mattwasserman]

That's the best slide playing I've heard him play, love that vocal accompaniment. Clapton can sure sing them blues too.

[les]

Great set! I saw him twice last year and this was better than both times!

Tal and Vinnie are incredible!

Jeff is da man!

[LavaMan]

Thanks for posting those - simply AMAZING!

:bow:bow:bow

[realityczech]

Please justify all these JB at Ronnie Scotts threads and buy the DVD.
Support the artist(s).

[PosterBoy]

He isn't a guitar player, he's a guitar manipulator. I've had to keep going back to see what he's doing to get some of those sounds, and he does it so tastefully, there is no weird for weird sake stuff going on like some guys do.

Tal is a great bass player and so cute, I've been making sounds usually elicited by kittens and puppies at her!

[A.Squirrel]

That might be the best I've heard him play, I watched all of those vids with my jaw on the floor.
What reverb is he using? It's fat as hell!

[CocoTone]

Those Marshall VM's I se?? I could not get along with one of those. Had it for two weeks. Guess I am a fender guy.

CT.

[GP_Hawk]

All at Ronnie Scotts. Up close and personal. Sweet!

[sliberty]

You made my day with this posting - thanks.
Beck is just soooo amazing, and his current band is wonderful. That second guitar player is pretty good too :)

[Neill]

oh man thats good shyit.

[Grenville]

He DOES use a Whammy pedal on Where Were You.










Doesn't he?

[cottoneyedjoe]

Nope. That is all whammy bar and hands. No pedals.

Great isn't it?

Where can I get the DVD?

[slegros]

There are times when you see someone who excels at their craft and inspires you to new heights....

This aint one of those times!!!!

This is one of those times you wanna say F@&% it and toss the guitar in the trash 'cause you know you've seen something you'll never in a million years even come close to......

[Grenville]

Ah no, I can come close...

need to adjust my Strat trem a little I think...

and work on my right hand multitasking/coordination a little...

and work on my friendships with stellar musicians a bit...

and...

you think a little work on using the thumb,too?

[Neill]

the wilkenfeld/colaiuta/rebello band is possibly my fave jeff beck band (in the modern 'period') yet.

[todd richman]

Wow, how did I miss watching these earlier in the week! I really hope a DVD is forthcoming in the U.S.

[Strat]

Ah no, I can come close...

...this ashtray............and this chair...........

[Strat]

know who I could go to for a backing track for Angel ? I'm no keys player...

[amigo30]

Don't forget about being able to draw Mega-Global Living Legends like Robert Plant to hang out in the crowd to hear you jam..

[joemesser]

:messedup




......I'd have to say he pretty much covers my criteria for greatest living electric guitarist.

[joemesser]

Let me get this straight......Jeff Beck has been tops since, what, '65?

That's 44 years now. I'd call that aging gracefully!

Not necessarily my favorite pieces from Beck's repertoire and history, some are a bit too shmaltzy or fusiony for my taste, I prefer more rock. But they are really great performances, professionally filmed. Easily the best examples I know of Beck on video/film.

These were obviously shot and edited with the idea of putting out a dvd. Why this is being released as a cd instead is beyond me. I would buy the dvd in a second but not the cd. Hopefully if the dvd is eventually released, it will come with the option of a "beck cam", the opportunity to just watch the camera focused on his fingers. Like magic in a bottle.

[Grenville]

Isn't that the easy bit?

[AlChuck]

Who said it's not being released as a DVD? They're releasing both a DVD and a CD, AFAIK. The CD is coming out first. LAst I heard the DVD was coming out in January '09.

[aeolian]

Tell me where I can buy that DVD and I'm on it like ugly on ape. So much of what Jeff can do, and very little of the sound effect filler. Beautiful.

I stand corrected

from the eagle rock website:
"Recorded over a series of gigs with standing-room-only crowds, the electricity was bouncing off the walls as Beck was clearly inspired himself and egged on by the perfect complement of bandmates. A DVD of the event, the first such live concert DVD as authorized by Jeff Beck, will be available in 2009."

far out!

[russv99]

Here's a link to the CD
http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=446599

As has been said the DVD (and blu-ray disc) with same track list is supposed to be coming in January. Clapton did two numbers with him, they should have showed both. The Friday and Thursday night gigs are out there on bootleg.

He is touring Australia, Japan and the UK next year and is said to be currently working on a new studio album.

I was at the last (FridaY) Ronnie Scott gig, it was brilliant. He also did a rockabilly set first with a different band. He works with a minimum of pedals. An amp channel switcher, Snarling Dog Wha and an old ring modulator. The box on his amp was for delay and chorus effects.

[daddyo]

Fantastic tubage - thanks Wombat. :dude :banana

Clapton gets the Beck salute :)

The Ronnie Scott shows will be available in cd and dvd format

[AlChuck]

Just got an email from Abstract Logix that my order is complete, so I guess the CD is on its way... I'd recently heard the release was postponed, so that was a happy surprise.

[hottub]

great stuff! thanks for posting the links!

[TommyMambo]

I just got this DVD as a gift and it is truly amazing. JB continues to inspire!

[jpastras]

Tommy, how did you get it? 'Round x-mas, I couldn't find it anywhere. Searching again now, but you're my "other dog in the race", so to speak...

[jkranitz]

[crzyfngers]

[AlChuck]

[Droptop]

[guitarjosh]

That Amazon link above says February 17 for the Blu Ray. Hopefully the DVD will come out at the same time.

[psklaroff]

Jeffrey is indeed rather good....

I have recordings of all the nights he played at Ronnie's and he was ON at every gig....amazing player all round.

[AlChuck]

i got this - This video has been removed by the user

Oh, then we're talking about different things... I thought you meant the Amazon link about the DVD release, since your post was right after that and you didn't refer to what you meant.

[Rama]

I am heavy digging the cd still.
