Without a doubt the unrivaled master of the guitar (and the only man over 60 I know of that can get by with wearing a sea urchin spine choker), Jeff Beck, with vocalist Imogen Heap and 23 year-old bass guitar virtuoso Tal Wilkenfeld, performing Imogen's own tune "Blanket", from "This Week...Live At Ronnie Scotts".

 

 



 



 Plus Rollin' and Tumblin'

* Jeff, in an interview, said of Imogen Heap regarding having her sing "Rollin' and Tumblin'---"I got her along to see how she sounded on a song for me--I didn't have anything prepared--and I just loved this song, 'Rollin' and Tumblin'--and thought, 'How ridiculous, to get this pure ENGLISH beauty singing 'Rollin' and Tumblin'---She just sang it, in her own style--we only did 2 takes and it was DONE...Fantastic talent!"





Lord, I can't get over how much she looks like an old girlfriend of mine!

Girls are cutie pies.

Hey, tried to go to your Jimi article but a Gather blank page comes up. I have an original Jimi Hendrix LP from the sixties still in its original shrink-wrap, unopened, never played. It was buried in a box of used LPs I bought at a flea market. 35 albums including the unopend Jimi for $9.

Wish I knew how to do EBay.....

The Beckster! Looking well and sounding swell! Gee we should be so well preserved and creative!
Kenny T. Apr 23, 2009, 11:18pm EDT
OK. I'll admit that I didn't pay close attention to the video, but I SURE DUG THE SOUND TRACK!
Well then--watch it in full screen on my PhotoBucket site here:
Imogen Heap, Jeff Beck, Tal Wickenfeld---BLANKET
I don't know about you, but as much as I was intrigued by Jeff's fingerwork on the fretboard, I just couldn't take my eyes off of Imogen Heap.
And Robert--I deleted it, but if you'd like to know the gist of it, these two links will give you most of the information that was in my article:

When I first heard Jeff Beck with the Yardbirds around 1965, I was hooked. When Eric Clapton left the group to join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, I thought they'd never find a guitar that could take his place, but Jeff Beck brought a whole new dimension to Yardbird's music. A lot of people don't realize that Jimmy Page was their bass player at that time.

Awesome Gerald!
Deloris Wright Apr 24, 2009, 6:29pm EDT

Jan S. Apr 24, 2009, 9:46pm EDT
I haven't heard Jeff Beck in ages! Thanks for sharing this.
Erica Hidvegi Apr 24, 2009, 10:04pm EDT
very ethereal-based sound to evoke a deep stirring of something, anything wake up the dead, kind of power
Georgiana S. Apr 25, 2009, 1:50am EDT
amazing, Jeff looks no different than he did years ago!
You in Soho? ronnie Scotts in London?
No, Georgiana, I didn't take this--I just continue to be amazed with Jeff Beck, even after 44 years!
Charles Temm JR Apr 27, 2009, 4:09pm EDT
Jeff Beck rules!
Darin Waugh Nov 14, 2009, 4:46am EST

Elizabeth R. Nov 16, 2009, 4:44am EST
