5.0 out of 5 stars Jeff Beck's Incredible 2007 London Concerts Were Peerless, November 28, 2008

By	Brien Comerford (Glenview, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Peerless guitar virtuoso, Jeff Beck, awed and amazed London concert audiences with his series of concerts at the elite Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Late 2007. His live performances were praised by the London Times, The Guardian, The Independent and Classic Rock Magazine. No electric guitarist has the mastery, riffs, diversity and ingenuity of Jeff Beck. He enthralled the crowd with blistering versions of "Scatterbrain", "Brush With The Blues", "Beck's Bolero" and "Behind The Veil". "Stratus" was the paramount jazz fusion song on the CD. The ethereal, emotive and tender "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" and "Angel (Footsteps)" can send shivers throughout your spine. "Big Block" is brilliantly intricate and thunderous. "Blast From The East" and "Nadia" are exotic and exquisite gems. His sterling rendition of "A Day In The Life" was triumphant. Last but never least is the inimitable and poignant "Where Were You". These amazing concerts were attended by Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Robert Plant and other stars. An imminent DVD is expected to feature two blues jams featuring Eric Clapton. Jeff Beck is in his vintage prime at age 64.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONLY 5 stars ????, November 28, 2008

By	Jim Z "music aficionado" - See all my reviews

I cannot recommend this more . A veritable treasure trove journey through Becs's career , making old songs sound new again. The four piece band sounds like 20 players.
Do not be afraid that it is a live recording. The recording is better than most studio creations. UNBEATABLE !!!!!
