Jeff Beck :: Performing This Week..Live At Ronnie Scott's
Eagle Entertainment
By The Atomic Chaser
For about an entire week in 2007 guitar legend Jeff Beck mesmerized audiences in London at Ronnie Scott's jazz club. Those captivating moments are captured on 'Performing This Week… Live At Ronnie Scott's'. If you are a Jeff Beck fan like I am, his performances on this live recording will leave you breathless. Jeff Beck combines unparalleled technique with a heavenly feel for nuance while demonstrating a uncanny utilization of the fret board and pickup controls. This recording is a jaw dropping display of the most invigorating, innovative, and jazz rock guitar exhibited in years augmented by a few heavy hard rock gems. Song highlights include "Led Boots", "'Cause We Ended As Lovers", "Beck's Bolero", the reggae groove of "Behind The Veil", "Where Were You" and Jeff Beck's brilliant rendition of the Lennon/McCartney penned classic, " A Day In The Life". You can hear the delight in the audience and jaws dropping as Jeff unleashes extraordinary music and sounds out of his Strat. Jeff Beck is so cool. A "Guitar God", "A Hot Rod Mechanic", "A Vegetarian" and a musical icon who avoids publicity. England must acknowledge their native son. Why? He's the world’s greatest living guitarist. Don't ask me. Brian May, Slash and David Gilmour have said so! Enough said. Just listen to, 'Performing This Week... Live At Ronnie Scott's'. How does the saying go, the proof is in the pudding? In this case, the playing. An imperative purchase for all guitar fans and guitarists. Thanks Jeff for blowing my mind once again! Cheers.
