JEFF BECK - Review And Setlist From Grand Prairie, Texas Show Available



Classic Rock Revisited has posted a review of guitar legend JEFF BECK's April 4th Rock ‘n’ Roll Party with IMELDA MAY and her rockabilly band at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, TX. An excerpt is available below:

"Although Beck had played Gibson Les Paul guitars in the '60s and early '70s, his primary instrument became the Fender Stratocaster, and when he put this lighter weight instrument with its familiar whammy bar around his neck you could tell that he felt more comfortable playing. This translated into the most out of control (and most Beck-like) version of 'The Theme From Peter Gunn' complete with a wailing horn section. May’s band quickly jumped from the 50s into Beck’s now. The steely tones of the Stratocaster also fit well with the stately 'Apache' (done by THE SHADOWS and THE VENTURES) and the immortal, haunting Santo & Johnny instrumental 'Sleep Walk' in which Beck played amazing slide and used the volume knobs to produce voice-like cries."

As previously reported, Beck - who recently picked up three Grammys for best rock and pop instrumentals and best pop collaboration for his Emotion & Commotion album - has released Rock 'n' Roll Party Honoring Les Paul, a CD and DVD of last summer's rockabilly gig at New York's Iridium Jazz Club.

And now comes word that, despite old frictions, Beck has recorded songs that may reunite him with ROD STEWART, who handled vocals in THE JEFF BECK GROUP for its seminal albums Truth (1968) and Beck-Ola (1969).

"I cut some tracks and sent them to Rod, and I'm still waiting for a response," Beck tells USAToday.com. "Some are originals, and we've got great covers, too. It's sort of Chapter 2 of Beck-Ola. So yeah, ball's in your court, matey."
