Alright, so I have always been a metal guy but Goddamn! Watching Jeff Beck: live in Ronnie Scott's jazz club, London. On Palladia (2007) This dude fucking rips, 4 Marshall heads, 2 Marshall 4X12's and, apperently just his fingers on a fender strat. :worship: Dudes like Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Eric Clapton are in the audience watching. (no pressure). Clapton gets on stage for a couple songs. Have u guys seen this? Sorry Im 30years late but I listened to Sabbath and shit. :checkthisout: Can u reccomend me some essential Beck albums?

Every guitarist should own these.

These albums lead me into music other than rock at a young age. I'm glad I found them in high school digging through a friend's vinyl collection at a house party one night.
 
Beck at Ronnie Scott's is just incredible...get the DVD is all I can say.
 
I just saw this, & DAMN, it was really good!!

Ive always respected Jeff, but never liked his studio albums... THIS had a great live dynamic to it, & that Tal is amazing....
 
Yeah. Like everyone here says...Blow by Blow and Wired.

I bought Blow by Blow when I was a teenager (back in the '80's). I didn't really "get it" then, but now I do (if you know what I mean). I can listen to it every day and each time I hear something different.
 
I'm a big Beck fan and have been for years. I agree with getting Wired and Blow by Blow, however, I actually dig some of his newer stuff too. The newer stuff has a bit of techno sound but it's hip and the guitar smokes. Oh yeah, the DVD, Live at Ronnie Scott's, absolutely kills! :rock:

1, 2) Wired, Blow by Blow
3) Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop
4) Who Else
5) You Had it Coming
6) Jeff

I still haven't checked out the newest CD, "Emotion & Commotion." ...but I will. :D :lol: :LOL:
 
Thanks for the input guys. Will be checkin these recommendations out soon. Yeah, was blown away by his uniqueness and skill, of course. Is a great video. :rock:
 
Most people play music, but Jeff Beck is music ;)

Also like his Guitar Shop and Who Else albums.

Beck, Bogart, Appice . Awesome album!

https://www.amazon.com/Beck-Bogert-Appice/dp/B00000250G

Blow By Blow and Wired are recommended also.

He does some awesome solos on this Stanley Clarke record if you like that type music.

Sounds interesting, Carmine is a hell of a drummer. Not familar with Bogart.

Hehe, that is a bold statement but after seeing that video I would have to agree he has something going on that most don't :D

I'm a big Beck fan too, and these would be my list as well, except I'd add "There & Back" - I don't know why it always gets left out of that fusion trio (blow by blow, wired, there and back).

Why not follow it back a little though?

Beck was inspired to get into fusion by Tommy Bolin's performance on Billy Cobham's spectrum album, and doesn't the Ronnie Scotts DVD even have a performance of Stratus?

Check out Billy Cobham's Spectrum album, particularly the songs Stratus and Quadrant 4.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbLjObdYWhQ (Bolin comes in on the left at about 1:05).

Then trace it a step farther back to Bolin's influence, John McLaughlin. Check out Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Birds of Fire" and "Trilogy." If you've never heard them before, the best way I could describe them is a cross between Frank Zappa and the Allman Brothers. You get Zappa's sense of harmony and melody and complicated music, and the allman bros harmonies and jamming.
 
JB is very interesting to me, in that he ALWAYS sounds like himself, yet simultaneously always seems to fit the wildly different styles and projects that he collaborates on. Very rare musician to be able to blend with others, yet retain a quirky, individual style. to me, it's all about the innate sense of melody. He's one of a kind!

Blow By Blow, Wired. The modern albums are great as well, but not everyone likes the electronica drum loop stuff he incorporated. I dig it.
