Guitar Hero Jeff Beck with Joss Stone.
- 25 October 2008 08:058038Oh yes the boy can play....
that aint workin..to play the guitar on the MTV!
I dont know if anyone caught the tail end of Guitar Hero Week on BBC FOUR last night at 9pm. It featured fab player Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts Nightclub in London's west end...and wow was it great!. It was if you like a trip down memory lane for us oul ancient rock geezers of a certain age. Jeff Beck has been around for yonks although you cant really tell to look at him. From those old days as a Yardbird.
He played here and there in various situations since but my favourite was the phenomenal guitar solo he played on that Roger Waters(pink floyd) album. The name escapes me for the moment although I have it here...it must be an age thing!lol
But he played some fantastic stuff and was joined at the end of the evening by other stratocaster maestro Eric Clapton. Was great to watch legends who are able to deliver live.
Also on was Dover born Joss Stone. Joss rather freakily has the voice of a 50 year old black woman, and must be the re-incarnation of a gospel singer from Alabama, she delivers of course, relishing rather introvertly in the power of her own voice. The audience need not be there as she does so little projection, and I have to say she's not my particular cup of chaw!email: dover7@msn.com - 25 October 2008 19:578049i wish i had seen that, i absolutely adore the voice of joss stone.
was mr beck on "dark side of the moon". - 26 October 2008 12:248083I'm kicking myself on this one, I wish I'd seen it as Jeff Beck, post Yardbirds, is one of my heroes from the distant past, I remember seeing him playing live as Beck, Bogert & Appice at Crystal Palace in the early 70's.
Joss Stone though is not my cup of caawfee especially when she tried to come over all 'californian' a year or so back. - 26 October 2008 15:248092I can remember having a Jeff Beck album pre Yardbirds and the guest vocalist was a young Rod Stewart pre Faces and Small Faces.Marek

TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 27 October 2008 09:568108Thanks for that info Terry. Following your note had another look.
Ah...I couldnt remember the name of the album earlier so I went and fetched it out. Not 'Dark Side of the Moon'....
Amused to Death. Roger Waters with Jeff Beck, some solo on there ( what God Wants!)email: dover7@msn.com - 27 October 2008 12:018120Ditto, Thanks for that Terry, I'm another big fan of the aforementioned legends who missed it
Now thats what I call a night out. Wish I'd been there
