The Jeff Beck group played all of Truth and Beck-Ola. Attendance was sparse. I was there with two high school friends. I had an extra ticket. My date’s mother wouldn’t let her go to the show! I paid $6 for the four tickets - bought by my father at Sam Goody’s by Grand Central. Rod Stewart wore a pink jacket and green pants. Beck played two Les Paul’s - a black one and a gold one. Ron Wood played bass. Nicky Hopkins on keyboards. After playing for ninety minutes the show was over. No encore! The last song was Rice Pudding - the instrumental that closes Beck-Ola.
Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen
This was Rod Stewart's first full studio album and IMO he never sounded better. Jeff's guitar work is amazing.
It came out 6 months before Led Zepp's first album.
Imagine my surprise when I put my CD on for the first time in years, and discovered I had the 2005 remastered version, with 8 additional songs.
The quality is astounding compared to my 'OLA' release. And the extra songs aren't bad either.
If nothing else, listen to 'I ain't Superstitious'. May be the best (over)use of the Wa Wa pedal of all time. Love it!
