1975 Blow by Blow

http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http ... CCQQrQMwAQ
Blow by Blow is the seventh album by British guitarist Jeff Beck, released on Epic Records in 1975, and recorded in October 1974. It was the first under his name alone. An instrumental album, it peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

Background & Content
After the dissolution of his power trio in the spring of 1974, Beck took time for session work with other groups. In December, a half-hearted "audition" for The Rolling Stones took place, Beck jamming blues with the band for one day, their incompatibility obvious to all, with the guitarist position vacated by Mick Taylor eventually going to ex-Jeff Beck Group bassist Ronnie Wood.[6]

During this period, Beck decided to record an all-instrumental album, bringing back keyboardist Max Middleton from the second Jeff Beck Group and hiring George Martin to produce. Carmine Appice, who played with Beck in Beck, Bogert & Appice was involved in the writing and recording process of "Blow By Blow", but his parts were edited out after a dispute with Beck's management.[7][8] The fourth key contributor to Blow by Blow after Beck, Middleton, and Martin was Stevie Wonder, who gave Beck his songs "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" (a tribute to Roy Buchanan) and the song Thelonius, Wonder playing clavinet on the latter uncredited.[citation needed] The former song appeared on Wonder's album Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta, made with his then-wife Syreeta Wright, while Wonder never recorded "Thelonius" himself. A cover of the Beatles song "She's A Woman" was selected, as well as a composition by Bernie Holland of the group Hummingbird consisting of musicians from the second Beck Group. The other five tracks were band originals with Beck and Middleton the main writers, the last track on each side featured string arrangements by Martin. Beck dedicated "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" to fellow guitarist Roy Buchanan, with an acknowledgment to Wonder.[9]

On 27 March 2001, a remastered edition for compact disc was reissued by Legacy Records, Epic and its parent label Columbia Records now a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

Ein super concert, gewiß, aber erst '08, aber erst 33 Jahre später; kommt noch!

Alerdings muß ich sagen, das er für mich wie alter Wein ist! Seine singende guitar kam nie so gut, wie jetzt.
Die Tokyo-concerts von '99 hatten mich erst richtig inspiriert, diesen Thread zu machen. Aber wollen wir die AnfangsJahre nicht runtermachen, die haben auch ihren Reiz! Wahrscheinlich, weil er kein guter Composer ist, wird er so unterschätzt, in der Öffentlichkeit, oder wie kann man sich das erklähren???

jpc:
Geboren am 24. Juni 1944 als Geoffrey Arnold Beck wuchs er in Wallington, England auf. Als junger Mann verdiente Jeff sein Geld als Sessionsmusiker bis die Yardbirds einen neuen Leadgitarristen suchten. Ende 1966 verließ er die Gruppe und startete mit seiner Solo-Karriere. Beck spielt fast ausschließlich mit den Fingern und benutzt nur sehr selten ein Plektrum. Ebenso charakteristisch für sein Spiel ist seit den 90er Jahren das exzessive Nutzen des Tremolo-Hebels sowie des Volumen- und des Klangreglers seiner Gitarre.

“Live In Tokyo” was filmed at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Japan on April 9th this year. These Japanese dates were the first to feature Jeff Beck’s new backing band of Jonathan Joseph (drums), Nicolas Meier (guitars) and Rhonda Smith (bass) and the setlist includes some material from his new, as yet unreleased, studio album. In contrast to Beck’s previous visual releases, both filmed in small clubs, “Live In Tokyo” is filmed in a major concert arena and has a very different, more expansive feel. Jeff Beck is a true guitar legend and this show captures him at his very best.

1976 Wired

wikimedia.org from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wired is the eighth album by British guitarist Jeff Beck, released on Epic Records in 1976. An instrumental album, it peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

Background and content:
After the success of his previous album, 1975's Blow by Blow, Beck retained two of its key contributors for the follow-up, keyboardist Max Middleton and producer George Martin. Beck had also begun a musical relationship with former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Jan Hammer and drummer Narada Michael Walden; Beck would tour with the Jan Hammer Group after these sessions. The result of the interplay between Beck and Hammer was a more "synthesized" sound than that of Blow by Blow, hence the new album's title, Wired.[citation needed].

Although the band from the previous album appears on some tracks, four are originals by Walden and one by Hammer. Middleton contributed the homage to Led Zeppelin, "Led Boots," and Beck chose to interpret the Charles Mingus ode to saxophonist Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," from the classic jazz album Mingus Ah Um. These last two tracks have been long-time staples of Beck's performance repertoire.

On 27 March 2001, a remastered edition for compact disc was reissued by Legacy Records, Epic and its parent label Columbia Records now a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

Wired received mostly positive reviews when it was released. In Rolling Stone, the reviewer cited it as being full of "fire and imagination".[4] However, Robert Christgau faulted it as technically proficient, but soulless calling it "mindless trickery".[2] Engineer Peter Henderson later said of the album, "I listened to that a few years later and it sounded like it had been recorded direct to cassette. I don't think it was one of my finer moments."[5]

Writing for AllMusic, Mark Kirschenmann said: "Within a two-year span, the twin towers Blow by Blow and Wired set a standard for instrumental rock that even Beck has found difficult to match. On Wired, with first-rate material and collaborators on hand, one of rock's most compelling guitarists is in top form."[6]

Hintergrund:
Das Album wurde als Teil von Jeff Becks Tournee zur Förderung von Wired aufgenommen. Beck wurde dabei unterstützt von der Fusion-Gruppe um den Synthesizer-Spieler Jan Hammer. Die genauen Termine und Orte der Live-Mitschnitte sind nicht bekannt. Die Tour begann im Juni 1976 und endete im Februar 1977. Während der Tournee wurden 117 Konzerte aufgeführt.

Der A & R-Mann Tom Werman schlug vor, dass die Aufnahmen im Astor Theater in Reading am 31. August 1976 die besten Aufnahmen lieferte. Beck mischte diese Aufnahmen zusammen mit anderen Aufnahmen aus dem Allen Toussaint Atelier in New Orleans. Schließlich beschloss Jan Hammer, das Album selbst abzumischen mit der Unterstützung von Dennis Weinreich in den Scorpio Sound Studios in London, England. Das Stereospektrum dieses Albums entsprach dem Bühnenaufbau.
Rezeption:
William Ruhlmann schrieb bei Allmusic:

“This straightforward live souvenir combines songs from Blow by Blow and Wired, plus a few other things, and while it features typically fiery playing from Beck, the backup is a bit too heavy-handed and the occasional vocals (by Hammer and drummer Tony Smith) are embarrassing.”

„Dieses unkomplizierte Live-Mitbringsel verbindet Lieder von Blow by Blow und Wired und ein paar andere Dinge, und während es in der Regel ein feuriges Spiel von Beck aufweist, ist das Backup ein bisschen zu plump und die gelegentlichen Gesangseinlagen (von Hammer und Schlagzeuger Tony Smith) sind peinlich.“

Watch this Jeff Beck set on full screen. It's Amazing! He was the best of the 3 Ex-Yardbirds Guitarists on this night and the Friday night show. I really got a kick out of seeing Ron Wood and Jeff hugging and walking off the stage together. Anyone remember the first Jeff Beck Group featuring Rod Stewart and Ron Wood? They should be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There & Back is the third studio solo album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in June 1980 through Epic Records. The album reached No. 10 and 21 on the U.S. Billboard Jazz Albums and Billboard 200 charts respectively,[4] and No. 36 on the Swedish albums chart.[5] Notably, There & Back showcases Beck's stylistic shift towards instrumental rock while largely retaining the jazz fusion elements of his two previous releases, Blow by Blow (1975) and Wired (1976). The opening track, "Star Cycle", was used for a number of years as the theme song for the British music programme The Tube (1982–87); "The Pump" was featured in the 1983 film Risky Business; "Too Much to Lose" is an instrumental cover of a song composed by keyboardist Jan Hammer that was originally featured on the Jan Hammer Group's 1977 album Melodies.

Flash is the fourth studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in July 1985 through Epic Records. The album is Beck's most successful to date, reaching No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart as well as reaching the top 60 in four other countries. Two singles also charted: the first being a reunion with singer Rod Stewart (from the Jeff Beck Group) for a cover of "People Get Ready" by The Impressions, which reached No. 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and No. 48 on the Hot 100, as well as the top 40 in four other countries; the second single, "Gets Us All in the End", reached No. 20 on Mainstream Rock. The instrumental "Escape" went on to win the award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammys, which was to be Beck's first of many such awards.
