Didn't Jeff just finish a tour in Europe with Johnny Depp????

Yes, I read that they toured just back in October.

Meningitis? Seriously??

I always dug Jeff Beck and ALL the Yardbirds, Clapton kind of being my #1. Jeff was one of those that was just too progressive for most of my friends who were more about orthodox classic rock than the fusion stuff Jeff did....but personally I thought he was great! That's coming from a guy whose first CD back around 1990 or so was the Chick Corea Electric Band, if you know what I mean. On my phone I actually have an album Beck did with Jan Hammer. I think I'll listen to it tonight.

RIP, Jeff.
Who loves ya, baby?

His jazz stuff was his best, and the least popular, ironically.

I knew of him back in the early days when he played with the Yardbirds, and just recently started listening to some of his jazz fusion. He was was an enduring and versatile talent and will be missed.

Thelonious

A Day in the Life

 

[Harry Dresden]

thats to bad.....as far as i was concerned his solos were better than Hendrix.....

 

[DudleySmith]

He was heavily into Roy Buchanan. The Blow By Blow album has some of that influence on it. I forget who the producers were but it was some excellent producing and engineering.

One of my heroes. Sad day.

 

[BS Filter]

Me too. I loved his music back in the 70s and 80s. This was one of his best tunes and album.

Great album.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Oh hell, one of the greatest ever!

I remember when the local K-Mart sold that album as a cutout for $2.57

I had that album along with several other Beck albums. I played it over and over. Almost every tune in it was good.

Back in 1980 at university, several buddies and I got back to my place after attending a party. At around 2am I put on Goin’ Down and cranked it to 10. We still talk about moment today. It sounded amazing.

I'm just tore up. It was all so sudden. I met Jeff back stage in 1975 at the Stanley Theater when he and McLaughlin were touring together, and we've stayed in contact ever since. Jeff was one of the true pioneers of fuzz guitar and the electronification of rock guitar. I don't know what else to say. My heart goes out to Sandra.

Just curious, where's the Stanley?
