Well said karl

Yep.

No vocalist. Instrumentalist / instrumentals are never as popular. People like their vocals and lyrics, especially women, that cuts out half your potential audience. Where would EVH be without DLR?

@@rc3754 True, and EVH would probably be a big star like Beck, not a massive global household name like he is. His talent is extreme like Beck and honestly I think they're very similar artists in many ways, particularly in how unique and inventive each is; quite different because they're unique artists, but similar in wildness, a natural brilliant sense of timing, unique and beautiful melodies and insane tones! I have always been blown away by Beck's success; one of the few players great enough to blow away entire stadiums full of rock and roll fans with no vocals, and nobody complaining!

I just found out that Jeff died. I'm sorry for your and our loss. I loved and always will love his Blow by Blow recording. But I never followed him too closely. I'm not a musician and maybe that has a lot to do with that. I've just watched a video of him playing live in Baloise Switzerland in 2017. What a great F-ing show. Strange for me. Now that he is dead, only now, do I see and hear, what you guitar freaks are freaking out about. Take care of yourself and R.I.P. Mr. Jeff Beck. May the younger generation carry the baton forward.

His modesty would want the band in the frame.

@Maxine McKenzie 23 Pino too.... everyone is knocking it out of the park, somewhere into outer space.....

right? you expect that when music is filmed in Europe, and it's always a nice surprise when it happens over here, lol.

I DO believe you got that right!

Whoa there ease off the gas son. Zappa easier than Beck? So, you have mastered the "chicken versus the spider to the death" technique? Hong Kong Martial arts voice over, 'Your skills are quite impressive...however...observe...lol.

I hear you, brother, and I’m feeling it too. It’s the loss not just of a great player, but of a beloved mentor and teacher who never stopped showing us new things over his 60 year career. And as the years went on, it was increasingly in his live performances that his genius was on fullest display-the studio recordings are great and will last forever, but that was only half of him.

Greek in L.A. ? Awesome bro, I was at this show! And I concur, the greatest ever. No small reason being Terry Bozzio on drums! Guitar 🎸 Shop! (Although I must say, I saw him at the Warfield Theater in S.F. for the "Who Else?" album, and that was outstanding as well!) But this one is special!

Yeah that lineup pretty much say's it all !!! Killer all the way around !!

Odd that Miles Beyond left out Pino on bass.

Like Jeff, when does he not....? Surely the front of house guy was recording this? I'd love to get hold of that!

He is a stratocasterist.

Blow by Blow stays in my truck.

That’s Andy Gangadeen on drums ✌️✨

@@jamescassidy3995 Sorry mate. It's Terry Bozzio. Have a look at the closer shot of him during the drum solo at 1:02 hour mark.

Absolutely no mistaking it's Terry Bozzio. Nobody else can play like that. Especially, in the 90's.

Andy Gangadeen is incredible too!

Guitar Shop is a pretty straight rock album imo and I love every note. The next one ("Who Else!") is where some say it's "too techno" but I think it's freakin' brilliant! Most techno music, of course, is just pounding 4-on-the-floor drums with no rhythm or syncopation and OF COURSE, zero guitar (all keys/synths, usually). Totally lifeless, soulless. But Beck fixes all that: there's rhythm, dynamics... excitement. And of course, he adds his own unique touch on the guitar on top of it all. And there's more than just that kind of music, anyway; it's a varied album with straight rock, some blues, some atmospheric rock, etc. It's one of my favorite albums of his! So underrated.....

Guitar Shop too techno? Huh? Anybody see the Jennifer Batten tour? Anyone here hear Flash? That is his only dog in my opinion. Guitar shop is a natural evolution from There and Back. I've been gobsmacked by theses '90's shows, and yeah, this concert is a friggin' sonic masterpiece. That's when you get smug as hell cuz you brought a fried and watched them stare at the sun. And you say to yourself, "told you so!" That's how good they are. Go to Wolfgang's Vault. No too many shows, but they are Bill Graham's sound board records. Jeff and Bill didn't care for each other, but the recording s are great. ✌️🎸

I was there also. Two words: HOLY COW!!

Ever see the orange Jackson Soloist on a Telecaster bass body?

I was at that same Philadelphia show! The Mann Music Center. Pure guitar heaven!

I saw the show in Allentown, PA. F***in’ out of this universe!

'Genius' is so overused but in this case I think you're correct.

He was probably one of the 15 people who gave this a thumbs down! Lol

'Peoples' that need "singing" suck (in my experience). Thats ok. Let 'us' enjoy to 'ourselves'. Go to any Vai tour & you'll know. Finally got to see Jeff Beck live in 2019 & after working for years working live sound desks, I was amazed how Jeff played so off the cuff with real emotion in the moment.

Of course that was Jeff’s gift … he could sing (and scream) with that thing 🎸

Haha. Well, those Santana fans don’t know what they missed. After 50 or so years a fan, I finally saw Beck in 2019, and you’re right, there is no substitute for Jeff’s Marshalls barking at you live. Incredible performer.

I wish I had seen this tour, but I had to choose between this and a Jimi Hendrix tribute concert in Seattle with lots of musicians including Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, and John McLaughlin among many others.

Funny thing was, after Santana did his set the majority of the crowd left; leaving me and all the other guitar nuts to enjoy Beck's amazing guitar work. I remember a guy saying: "I don't like this guitar shred stuff; lets go," which was probably the only time in history where Beck has been wrongfully described as "shred." What a buffoon, right? Beck came out in a foul mood. I'm not sure why. My guess was his tinnitus. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Jeff was one of the first artists to use in ear monitors. Maybe he was adjusting? He hadn't toured in years too. He looked amazing. Those arms were cut; and that long, thick hair. I remember thinking: "Is this guy getting younger?" I made eye contact with Jeff and I seemed to brighten his mood a bit. He smiled because I was simply thrilled to see him. I suppose my enthusiasm was very obvious. ;) The buddy I went with was new to Beck. He summarized JB's performance perfectly: "I did not know a guitar could make so many sounds." Inside joke: I'll never forget the 8/23 date because 4 years later I married a girl with an 8/23 birthday. I'm not going to say you made the wrong choice in concert choosing, but wow....that's a tough one. Sorry for talking your leg off; can't help it, I dearly love Geoffrey Arnold Beck; the only guitarist that brings tears down my cheekbone one minute, and makes me wanna fight the next.

Thanks for sharing. I love Beck too. Became a fan in high school back in the 80s, and had to wait 18 years to see him live. Never can get too many Jeff anecdotes.

Thanks for the chalk-full JB channel you got going. Keep the "anecdotes" a comin'.

I travelled through from Glasgow for that show and didn’t get “ There And Back “ as the snow was so bad I stayed at a mates house just outside Glasgow. Went to the Guitar Shop show in Edinburgh-no Pino and Bozzio was WAY too loud so a bit disappointing.

@@daviddalziel884 was that the guitar workshop tour as simon phillips was at the 1980 there and back and he was stunning

@@BurstBelievers the guitar shop was 1990 and There and Back was 1980 .
