    Jeff Beck on vocals

    Keithfan - Jeff Beck sang lead vocals on The Yardbirds "The Nazz Are Blue" on the album often referred to as "Roger The Engineer". He also sang on his hit single from 1967 "Hi Ho Silver Lining" - a song he always said he hated, although he seemed reconciled latterly, and even performed it live a few times. He also sang lead on "Tallyman" from 1967.

    If you wanted to cherry pick from his career there is a great live blu ray disc out called "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" recorded in 2016. That features music from all stages of his career and features guest artists, which is fun. I'm not sure if it's available on cd - that might be a good place to start to get an overview.

    Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow, by far my favorite solo album of his.
    Jeff Beck - Wired, which led to more fusion...
    Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior, four virtuoso players doing their thing. Lenny White is one hell of a drummer.
    Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide Of Sings, clearly on a drummer thing here.
    Jan Hammer Group - Melodies
    All on vinyl and cassette.
    Cheers for the weekend!

    Beck suggestions

    So hard to pick things out, however... have long loved what he did with Mingus's "Good Bye Pork Pie Hat" from Wired. Somewhere Over the Rainbow, so well known, shows his extraordinary evocative skills. As a single disc (video too) intro and supreme example of how to triumph a live show in a tiny cramped venue, Live at Ronnie Scott's is pretty special with Tal and Vinnie there too.

    Here are my recommendations: Beck's Bolero (just incredible), Freeway Jam, A Day in the Life, Got the Feeling, Situation, Going Down, Morning Dew, I Ain't Superstitious. There are so many more

    Jeff Beck

    I was driving yesterday with my wife and kids, so we ended up doing round-robin song selection (uggh - sometimes you just have to compromise :D My selection was the Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart version of People Get Ready. I was 13 when it came it out, and it was a staple on the Philadelphia airwaves. Beck's playing is perfect (great tone and creativity in his playing). My wife fiddled around with Pandora and came up with the Jeff only version (which I guess he recorded sometime later). I said no, if I get one pick it has to be the '85 version with Rod singing. I hadn't heard it in 3 or 4 years, so it was a great listening experience. Aside from a few Yardbirds tunes, I don't really know Jeff Beck's work. If anyone has song recommendations, I'd like to compile a dozen or so to see if it all grabs me. Did he sing at all?

    Happy belated B-day Nitecat - I am behind in the message boards.

    Yeah, life is inconceivable w/out music. It takes us to a unique place. I think of it with a perspective Robert Hunter said about his lyrics, when a fan once asked him the meaning of a song; he tried to answer, but ultimately said something to the effect of (paraphrasing here), "I hope that helps, but honestly, if I could explain it in plain words I wouldn't have to write a song." I hadn't though of it that way before. Lyrics as non-linear form of expression. I think it's the same with music - you feel an intense connection that can't be adequately explained in plain language.

    Well okie dokie, that's about as philosophical as I'm going today. I hope everyone is well.

    Who Else?

    I'm going back listening to all my Jeff Beck recordings, too. Incredible range of music, and it occurs to me that even when he is playing a style of music I don't normally like, the way he plays it lifts it up. I normally prefer it when guitarists - any musician for that matter - serve the music and not the other way round. With Jeff Beck, he seems a bit as though he was the other way round - the music seems more like a platform for him to take off from. Possibly the only guitarist I like who did that. He didn't do that all the time - that Les Paul Tribute concert isn't like that- but he did it often enough for it to be noticeable.
    A great one I played last night was "Who Else!" from 1999.

    Trouble

    Yeah, I have two Trouble cd's, Manic Frustration from 1992 and another one just called, Trouble. It says 2009 but I think that's a reissue? I could Google it but I'm lazy.

    Mr. White and Come Touch the Sky are pretty cool hard rock tunes. I saw the singer passed just a couple of years ago. Mr. White is a funny fuckin' song about blow, which we used to call "ripper" and "gagger." I'll save coke stories for another time but I'll bet this bunch has got a few. ;-p

    So many bands like Trouble - good enough to light up a bar or small club and, back in the day, get a record deal, but never actually touch the sky. Shit, Dr. Hook never did make the cover of Rolling Stone did they?

    Still in full on Jeff Beck mode. Normally I am cycling through Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Stones, Aerosmith, the Dead (of course), the Doors, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, and lots of jazz and blues pretty damn regularly. Beck has a certain weight about him now that he's gone, but like when Mark Lanegan left us, I realize their spirit will always be alive, always 25 years old and healthy and strong. Like Jer.

    God bless everyone. Carpe Diem.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

If I could pick only one Grateful Dead show to see out of all the shows they played, it would be one of the acoustic/ electric shows from 1970.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
