In my opinion, these mid 70's albums like this one and dark side of moon have never been surpassed sonically. Analog recordings just sounds so much warmer than digital.

"That old grease you keep on top of the stove"... Hell yeah!!!!!

Jeff could destroy anyone onstage but always let his band's talent shine. Always the gentleman and a beast. This guy got better and better, so glad you started this. He has plenty of outstanding material to chose from, I recommend all of it. Live stuff is the best. Quick fact, he's a guitar legend in his 40's and suddenly decided to drop the pick and finger pick for the rest of his life.

Narada Michael Walden on one of two drum kits on this one. Has anyone noticed the Producer---George Martin.

No one sounds like Beck, no one can play like Beck. He was totally unique. That’s why they say there can’t be a Jeff Beck tribute concert because no one can play his parts! It’s not the notes, it’s the sound of the notes the touch and feel he had the personality… Thank God for us, it was recorded so we can hear it…

His two records, Wired and Blow By Blow are considered to be industry standards in this genre against which all else is measured. Jeff Beck passed on Jan 10, 2023... RIP. Wired sold 1.1 million and Blow by Blow sold 1.09 million copies. He certainly etched himself into rock-n-roll history with two inductions, the first in 1992 as a member of the yardbirds and the second time on his own in 2009. He also won 8 Grammy Awards. Thank God he left us his music when he passed! Great reaction guys, TY. Every song on those two records are worthy of reaction.

Glad you guys chose this album. Ahead of its time and a gem of an album . ❤

I requested the first song you guys did on Wired called " Goodbye Porkpie Hat" I'm so glad you guys like Jeff Beck and Wired.

I used to listen to this album with headphones on over and over again when I was about 14 years old, and just fell in love with Beck's lead guitar work! Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd...we were seriously spoiled musically back in the 70s!!!

This is how I rate guitar players. There’s Jeff Beck, then there’s everyone else.

Jeff Beck is the only guitarist I've seen that used EVERY part of his guitars to bring his exact thoughts of what the guitar should sound like , his guitars actually became a part of him when he was in the nirvana of sounds. Really enjoy your reactions to the excellent music alot of us discovered 50-60 years ago. Keep on TRUCKIN !!

No one could make a guitar talk like Jeff Beck, RIP, you have inspired so many guiatrists, a legend.

Jeff Beck was a genius. Was always progressing. The bass playing was excellent. Great reaction fellas! Appreciate you !🙏 ❤

Jeff Beck was putting on a clinic. "This is how it's done kids.".

Great choice and reaction guys! Again, the fact that he came from the Yardbirds, to the Jeff Beck Group to this in 10 years is amazing to me.

Jan Hammer was a monster! And Michael Narada Walden playing amazing drums.

Bass player on this record also did the sessions for the movie version of the musical "Hair" and loses his mind on the entire movie. They let him do his thing freely and it's something to behold. Def worth checking out.

I'm 65. I kinda knew we had great music back then. But channels like this give me an even better appreciation. And its all due to your awesome reactions. Thanks guys👍

You're listening to what I grew up with as a teenage drummer, love it.

Robert Cray - Still hot smoking gun i think you guys will love it .

I played the Wired and the Blow By Blow albums so much when they came out. They were the kinds of albums I liked to play for friends first listen to see their reaction. Feel like I am doing the same thing here watching your reactions. It has been fun watching you dig music I have loved all these years.

That first solo that sounded guitar like was Jan Hammer on Synth. You should check him out with Mahavishnu Orchestra one of the (if not the) first Jazz Fusion groups.

My favorite song by THE JEFF BECK GROUP ( 1967)..... A good year for Rock guitars 😊🎸 ... is the song BECK'S BOLERO. Just the most unique song he's done in my opinion. Hope you check it out.

Beck gave space to who ever he played with. He was in life like that that and humble about his guitar playing.

This is vinyl worthy! I remember being a young rocker about tenth grade and an older drummer buddy said you should check this out. I remember thinking this wasn't quite my cup of tea but I instantly took to Jeff Beck from that point on and it was the gateway album for my love of Fusion music.

Just dig this track. It was written by J.Becks drummer Narada Michael Walton. A buddy of mine bassist Angeline Saris plays in the Narada Michael Walton band and I’ve had the pleasure of hearing this song played live a few times. So cool.

My first Beck Album, but now have at least 8....he was the best guitarist I have heard....and there are many great guitarists.

Guys if you want to see him in a live performance (and you do) check out Jeff Beck - Performing This Week...Live at Ronnie Scott's. There are a couple KZfaq playlists. The song "Cause We've Ended As Lovers " is a favorite of mine.

Go Laa, Go Chee! Beck is secure enough let EVERYONE shine! He doesn’t need to be the entire focus. He always shines, but wants all to get there’s too. Listen to Live with Jan Hammer, it’s incredible!

Couldn't agree more. One of my all-time favorite albums. Thanks, guys.

Best lead guitar player period. Innovator, pitch perfect, vibrato lord. The world has no idea what it has lost ... RIP Jeff Beck🎸🎸 ....side note also one of my favorite album covers i retired my Wired album cover tshirt on Jan 10/23

You guys continue to crush it! Jeff Beck and boys were monsters!

Maybe i cant find it, but you young men need a Thanks$ button...... He lets all the musicians eat.....very much like Zappa

I was very fortunate to see Beck and Jan Hammer live back in the day.

Jeff's drummer Michael Narada Walden wrote or produced songs for George Benson, Regina Belle, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Kenny G. Whitney Houston and many others.

I was fortunate to have seen him 3 times in recent years, the last time weeks before he passed. R.I.P. Jeff Beck a true musical genius….

Wired and There and Back were the first CD's I bought, in the transition from vinyl to CD's. Beck had a vicious angry tone in the mid 70's sometimes, but with a lot of touch and subtlety still, not sure anyone else had quite achieved something similar back then. Not sure really if anyone's ever really matched Beck for his combination of touch, subtly, and aggressiveness. Wired is full of great songs. I like Pork Pie Hat best, but this one's great too. Led Boots is great. Really like Play with Me and Love is Green, pretty much of all of them. It's always fun to watch you enjoy this stuff.

I've always heard Jeff Beck spoken of in the 'best guitarist ever' conversation, but I had no idea he was doing stuff like this! Thanks for introducing me to his songs.

Talent x 6… 2 keyboardists, 2 drummers, bass and Jeff just having fun

Wired and Blow by Blow are two top albums in the Jeff Beck era!!! Where has all the funk fusion gone?

Beck has always been in my top-five best guitar players, but let's talk about the rest of the band that made this one of the best albums ever made: Max Middleton - Hohner clavinet, Fender Rhodes electric piano; Jan Hammer - synthesizer; Wilbur Bascomb - bass; Narada Michael Walden - drums and author of half the songs on the album, nevertheless. Hit it out of the park on this one. One GREAT track to the next.

Brothers I'm so glad your doing this album! As a young man in the seventies I loved Led Zep and all the blues based bands. Dark Side of the Moon was an exquisite audio trip through space and time but listening to Jeff Beck was like stepping into another dimension.

Loved your reaction to this song.

We All had wired on the Turn Tables the best thing was done live when the show was1400 seats back in Chicago Heights Illinois we were one of the few people that got tickets2 1/2 hours plus Encores that was the Wired show unbelievable🎸

Jeff Beck and Tommy Bolin did some music together, I believe it was 1976 THE JAM where beck was actually playing bass with tommy ! Check out Tommy Bolin As well ! Another guitar master who passed way too soon !

If you guys are curious to hear some of Beck’s more “rock” style guitar playing, check out The Jeff Beck Group’s version of “Going Down” from their self titled studio album (1972).

WOW! Never got into Beck when I was young back in the 70’s (Except for his album Beck Ola) but “discovered” him just the past couple of years. What a genius he was. And so generous to fellow musicians. I love his work with bassist Tal Wilkenfeld and drummer Vinnie Caliauta as well.

Wired, one of all time greatest fusion albums.

I am so glad you guys got to this song, my personal favorite off this album! This song makes you move while also in awe of all the incredible musicians coming together.

Hi La and Che... I think summer of 1980.... I saw Carlos Santana on Friday at universal amphitheater and saw Jeff Beck on Saturday at the Greek theater.... what a great guitarist weekend...

Thanks Guys, loved to see your faces light up with the funky fusion brilliance of JB! This album and Blow By Blow expanded my mind and appreciation of funk/rock fusion. Know one plays like Jeff or gets the sounds out of a guitar like he does. He was singularly sensational! RIP.

Love Jeff Beck! Great reaction and comments. Your mention of his bass player having his time in the limelight in Beck's songs reminds me of the live in Paris video of Lou Reed's Sweet Jane - it starts with Pradesh John doing a bass groove that one commenter said 'could pull a truck out of the mud all by itself". Then legendary guitarist Steve Hunter joins in, before Reed starts the song. The original album recording of Sweet Jane needs to be heard separately as it has a dueling solo guitar intro by 2 legendary session guitarists. Both versions are great. 😁

Best reaction to Beck yet.... The part about letting his bass player eat...absolutely correct.

Because of you guys having a great love of music, and coming at your show with such an open mind, It makes me happy to see you guys give so much music a serious listen, even a ton of it out of your genre. You guys now have a huge catalog in your minds and can now talk with such a wide audience about bands and musicians about so many topics because of your willingness to explore and appreciate all kinds of music! Keep up the great work, and I'll be listening right along with you!👍🤘🙂

The great Jan Hammer on keys

Beck was a master !!! Try the guitar shop album. Another veryt underrated guitar player , Live version of Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush " Johnny B Good" and ".Aint Dead Yet".. Masterful rock there too.

this album and blow by blow are fire !

When we say the 70’s was the golden age and will never be matched……this is an example of what we mean. Most modern musicians don’t care to take the time and practice to become this brilliant.

Yes yes yes...Jeff Beck is god...sort of. But now that you have come this far, please keep going to the Blow by Blow album. You thought this was funky? Well, it is, but that other thang will get ya. Max Middleton's keys, etc. Thank you for the high quality of the channel brothers! I learn so much here. Much love ❤❤

This song reminds me of WEATHER REPORT - BIRDLAND among others.

Nice review guys. Thanks!

Jeff does this without using a guitar pick and he made the best out of the tremolo/wang bar found on a Fender strat for they were rather limiting when measured up to a Floyd Rose

I believe Jeff Beck is using a Mutron Octave Divider pedal during his first solo.

Greatest guitarist ever no one can get his tones

shredding without the hammer downs

Yeah!

Jeff is using an octave pedal on this track. Adds an extra note an octave lower than what you play. Sounds badass.

He uses the whole guitar.

Jeff Beck was the G.O.A.T. of making impossible sounds come out of his guitar. He was well known for it. Any professional guitar player only wished they could do it like Jeff. What a great loss to the music world!!!

It's great to see you guys digging into the amazing Jeffrey. After you go through this album, you have to do Blow by Blow next. When these two albums came out it changed my life and made me want to pick up a guitar which I did and am still playing to this day.

Hi guys! Check out Jeff Beck’s “Guitar Shop” album. There is still so much of JB’s music you haven’t heard yet. Greatness. Love your vids! Juno

Album produced by Beatles' producer George Martin. Beck used an octave divider for the weird low stuff. Make sure you check out his 'Guitar Shop' album - it'll rip yer faces off!!!

Jeff was featured on Stanley Clarke’s Rock n Roll Jelly and Hello Jeff. Stanley being one of the best bassists ever!

The incredible Jeff Beck! Saw him a few times but when he went out with John McLaughlin was otherworldly! Beck's Bolreo at the Rock & Roll HoF is also not of this planet. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Me..17 years old...listening to this album on a portable 8-track machine with headphones...while drinking frozen pina coladas on a Fort Lauderdale Florida beach in a bikini. Man...this took me right back to that summer!! THANK YOU!!🥰

at this point gonna throw it in - Stanley Clarke Journey to Love - song "Hello Jeff" ...you can guess the soloist.

You made me go way back for this one! I need to dig up the vinyl for a proper refresher, but as my aged memory serves me, this was one of my favorite tracks….and it sure does have so much funk, it could be Parliament! Great reaction, guys! Cheers!

Maestros in this ensemble . Set the tone in the Fusion world .

I think Beck was using an octave pedal with lots of distorsion, it's a very particular sound, specially for 1976 when was recorded. The whole Wired album is phenomenal

Brilliant I must get this album

Great players all and Jeff killin' it. I like the sound on Blow by Blow better, but they are both phenomenal. You need to check out him with the Jan Hammer Group Live. Nobody has reacted to that album. Scatterbrain will blow your mind, but lots of super funky stuff on it as well. Anything with Jeff and Jan Hammer is great.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY "Long Whip/Big America" Damn it man get in that trash! It's a gem 💎

The effects on that lead signal 🤯

He's such a freak! You have to hear " she's a woman" live. It's a 1969-70 video. It shows his pick use. Which he mostly doesn't use a pick in his later work. His live work is crazy. So clean.

He was playing his guitar through a ring modulator on the first solo to get the sound you were talking about, Max Middleton played the clavinette, the last solo was Jan Hammer (formerly with the Mahavishnu Orchestra) on the mini-moog, and playing drums and composing this and 3 other songs on the album was Narada MichaelWalden (also from the Mahavishnu Orchestra - That was the group which influenced the fusion direction of Beck's music).

He can rock. Watch Jeff and Stanley Clarke play Rock and Roll Jelly live. This album is a classic, not a misplaced note on the record.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!! Thx Guys!! 👍👍

!!! YEAH BUDDY !!! 🤠

Jeff's tone is what set him apart from the others. His band was ALWAYS top notch. Next, Thelonius from Blow By Blow.

I always thought this was the funkiest shit ever laid down by Jeff! The outro reminds me of Zappa yellow snow ❄️.

Jimi Hendrix was fascinated with what Beck was doing in 1966 . . but Hendrix also freaked Beck out with what he was doing!

“That old grease on top of the stove.” I’m dead. 💀💀💀

What can I say, Jeff Beck is the GOAT! There’s just nobody else like him. And he has so much more great music that you guys should hear. Love your reaction, you guys are the best.

That funky-ass beat reminds me of "Family Style" by SRV & Jimmie Vaughan. "Mama Said.... ba-boom." Damn, I had NO idea Jeff could get this low-down and NASTY!

You guys got to do blow by blow

What you said about how treats the bass players and let’s them shine - check out a live video of him with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass.

That guitar sound is from a first generation octaver pedal. (maybe a rack unit back then). I owned one built by Boss in the 1980's. It could get the same sound depending on the blend settings. Unfortunately, for me, I couldn't play like Jeff Beck. Few, if any, could.

Jeff has a live album with Jan Hammer is very good,give a listen.

I appreciate that your listing to Jeff Beck songs but I think you’re missing out on one of his best. Please listen to his version of “Let Met Love You” with his Jeff Beck Band. Rod Stewart sings Lead vocals and Ronnie Wood on Bass.

Please review some Pat Travers , anything off of (Go for what you know) is fire. I'm sure both of you will be as impressed as the rest of us!
