Yeah, odd for sure simply because one should not really be opening for the other IMO. Though, many top flight guys like Jeff Beck do profess a love for Wilson's song writing. BTW, if you guys have not seen Jeff Beck's "Live at Ronnie Scott's," it is SICK I tell you. The CD is equally awesome, though the hi-hats are recorded too hot.
Brian Wilson/Jeff Beck
The Atlanta paper announced an October appearance from a Fall tour by Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck as headliners. Am I just an old curmudgeon or are those two audiences completely different? I think of the Beach Boys' audience as preppy middle aged women singing "Help Me Rhonda" in three part harmony. The Jeff Beck fan is the introverted male worshiping the altar of the guitar gods. Don't get me wrong- I like them both, but the combination is kind of like mixing scotch and cotton candy.
