Why see Jeff Beck?
TRUE GUITAR HERO
English guitar legend Beck burst onto the music scene in 1966 after joining the Yardbirds. Although his time with the band lasted only 18 months, Beck played on almost all of the group's hits. It was here that Beck's new and different stylewas captured on classics like Heart Full of Soul and Shapes of Things and actually helped to define the psychedelic sound of the Sixties.
In April 2009 Jeff was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and later guest-starred with Stevie Wonder at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts at Madison Square Gardens.
A MUSICAL PIONEER
Beck left in 1967 despite being at the height of the Yardbird's popularity in order to pursue a solo career. What followed was an unpredictable journey of musical discovery that has lasted nearly four-decades as one of music's top recording artists. During that time, Beck has left his distinctive mark on hard rock, jazz-fusion, and modern music history.

I'm 72 years old and first discovered Jeff upon the release of his incredible 1967 album...…..Truth. That album, in this man's opinion, is one of the greatest of all time. Why not? It featured Rod Stewart as the singer before he really hit the big time and none other than Ron Wood as the drummer. Need I say more? I most certainly got my money's worth, to say the least. BTW, the drummer was absolutely phenomenal. I don't know his name but was told that he is among the best in the world. No doubt. If I could see him again tonight, I would. "Nuff said. ... Read more
