I "brainfarted" when ordering this. Went for a great low price on Ebay but realized I'd ordered the CD instead of the DVD!! Don't get me wrong, the CD is killa, but truth be told, my intention was to record a CD from the DVD. Just last night I'm flippin' the thru the channels and lo & behold, on the Paladia HD channel, is Jeff introducing Eric to the stage!!! Caught the last 15 minutes of the show and there's no indication of when (and if!) it'll be on again. I'm gonna try to wait for it to be broadcast again but if I know myself I'll wind up buying the DVD, soon!;)
Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
I know I just finished listening to this disc. I know that sometimes music doesn't always hold up after repeated listenings. I also know that this disc is the single best guitar performance I have heard maybe ever. Last night I had just finished listening to Santanas " song of the wind" and was wondering what had become of this level of virtuosity in todays music. I put on "perform this week" which I had bought on a whim and was dumbstruck. Many years ago I was a big Jeff Beck fan but had lost some interest as I felt he was stuck in a fusion time capsule. He was terrific on Claptons crossroads ( he's always been a great blues player) and his manic depression on a Hendrix tribute was fantastic so I bought the disc hoping to not be too dissapointed. Never EVER have I heard such beauty and virtuosity at the same time. I've seen a clean SRV in concert. I saw Return to Forever back in the day. I've seen Albert King, BB king, Mclaughlin/Dimeola/Delucia, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Santana, Buddy Guy and a hundred others that don't come to mind just now. This is a supreme performance of jazz, rock, blues even reggae. Listening to this reminds me of the story of Sonny Rollins listening to john Coltranes "Giant Steps" and retiring for two years. It was just too mind blowing. The band and the recording quality are likewise topnotch. I know this is way over the top but to me at least it's that good. Check it out. - Jim
