He can get a little churchy sometimes, I've had to edit the occasional sermon out of his stuff.

Great cover version, & reminds me (I don't think) Chuck Berry hasn't been mentioned yet...

Weird how your mind works but I woke up this morning with PE's "He got Game" running through my head... (Well the verse "Damn the Game if it don't mean nothing" - Far too much Red wine last night) 

 

 

 

Which made me look up the closing verse...

 

Which led to this 

 

 

It's going to be a long day... Pass the Red ????

Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts, base was Tal Wilkenfeld.

That's the ONE, Man!

 

The pair of them makes me....drool, Big Time.

 

Beck is KING, but not BB King.

 

Beck is BETTER than BB, IMHO.

 

(Please note: I made a minor correction in my grammar.  But then, after making this correction, I needed to re-correct the mistaken correction I made.  For sure, Beck never needs to correct his grammar on the guitar.  LONG LIVE BECK.  I love this guy, for sure.)

Wait, Sir!

 

That is NOT Beck at Ronnie Scott's!!!

 

Please post the image of Beck and Tal at Robby Scott's, before I am forced to post the image myself.

 

Thank you for your kind understanding,

 

Best regards,

Globule

 

Correction:  I might be wrong, as usual.  (But, at least, I have the original DVD somewhere on my Google Drive, in the cloud. (Huge file stored for free, gratis from Google)).  Sorry for the confusion.  There is too much confusion.  I can't get no relief.

Again, my apologies, Sir.

But, I still maintain that the image you posted of Beck at Ronnie Scott's is actually NOT of Beck at Scott's.

 

This is a video I am very familiar with.

As soon as I saw your image, I knew that something might be amiss.

 

Please take a gander at the following TRUE image, and then tell me if you see the same speakers in the background...

 

 

In fact, this is the true image of Beck where he was at that time.

 

And, I guess you know who was sitting in the audience.

 

Very special performance.

One of the very greatest, except for Beck in Tokyo, the first time.

 

Best regards,

And may the confusion continue to rain,

Down and down,

No relief.

Hendrix.

Maybe not now, but back in the late 70's / early 80's with the classic lineup of Doc Neeson (vocals, a Belfast born ex Army Sergeant), The Brewster Brothers (Rick lead guitar and John rhythm guitar), Buzz Bidstrup (drums) and Chris Bailey (bass), then definitely a band that put on a rageing show. 

Live production normally included Mark Opitz on FoH and Ray Hawkins on lights and Bob Daniels on FB, all big names in the Australian music business.

They supported The Kinks on their USA tour in 1980, however were removed by Ray Davis towards the end, as there performance outshone that of The Kinks!

 

Getting back to the OP, then Rick Brewster is definitively a good guitarest, his stage presence was to stand still, wear shades but play aggressively,  with Doc Neeson providing the stage antics; normally dressed in a DJ and playing maracas.

I saw them about 2 months ago. 

They're a tribute band now, absolutely nothing like the original. 

Edit. Actually they were backing up some other bands I can't remember offhand. Boom Crash Opera and the Bull sisters I think. They were very ordinary and easily outshone.

"The greatest show on earth"?

Nope.

Double edit. John Brewster looked like he needed his nap, Rick was missing his walking frame, John's son on the bass didn't smile once and looked desperate. Gleeson looked like he was having a bit of fun, but that was about it. Their best song was their last one before getting off and letting the next band on.

Two axe men, George Thorogood and Albert Collins at Live Aid.

For me, they were the best act of the whole event.
