Nice Surprise
« on: October 22, 2010, 10:05:14 AM »

So the inlaws told me to reserve last night for a Birthday Surprise.  Not really thought about what it might be, perhaps a meal out at a new place or a gig somewhere.

Imagine my surprise when I open my card and Jeff Beck tickets fall out for that very night!

Not a Jeff Beck fan Dave?

The gig was on Thursday evening.  I did wonder what all the fuss was about with Jeff Beck but the gig was great.  I was definitely converted, one of the best players I've seen.  Great tone, touch and phrasing....

And the nice thing is that even if Jeff didn't perform well, Tom still gets to keep the wife and her perceptive / cool parents  on the team !

A win / win / win situation .  :drink:

 Great and generous pressie. I love JB. He's been at it for as long as anybody and is still pushing the boundaries. Who was on bass?
 I particularly like this remix David Torn did for him on the Jeff album. Supercool imo.

A very tasteful contribution from Jeff, was his session work on the Roger Waters Album 'Amused To Death'.

Happy Birthday  Tom - great present.

As I've bored everyone on this forum many times before, I've been a JB fan since I was about 15 - the first name guitarist I ever saw - made the hairs on my neck stand up  - still does with some of his playing, although I suppose my favourite period was his Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Nicky Hopkins (surely the best ever rock pianist R.I.P.)  days.

I always get disappointed when he changes musical direction but then find myself getting into it just as he moves on to something else.
