RIP Jeff Beck

Made me cry to hear of his passing. Just finished acquiring his final few albums last year. Some of his later recordings, including videos, were simply fabulous. He played wonderfully well right into his seventies and seemed to keep getting better. Not many rockers from the 1960’s you can say that of. Neil Young put out some great work well past the expriation date of most rockers, but no others from that era come to mind. Jeff was in a select group and we’ve lost a creative genius for sure.

I particularly treasure his Live at RONNIE SCOTTS.  Especially the very subdued and tasteful solo with Imogen Heap.  On a small stage he is stupendous.  The drummer and bass player and keyboards aren’t chopped liver either. 🧨

+1 on the Live @ Ronnie Scotts. 

Yes this is another big lose to the fraternity but no one lives for ever.

can anyone name one other profession where people never retire and play to the day they die? To me this shows how much they love making and playing music. I would give my left nut to be able to play guitar. Tried and tried but could not make it work. Leaves me to enjoy the heck out of the music produced by the gifted ones who can! Thank God for them and thank God for the guitar!!!!

He lived a very good life, many wished they could live to 78…
