Just experienced guitar god JEFF BECK at House Of Blues Boston....

JEFF BECK is GOD. Although I scored the LP shortly after it came out in '69, I never had the chance to see the Beck-Ola (and Truth) era band live. I first saw Beck Bogert Appice ('72) and and later WIRED era tour ('76) twice in a row in CALI and then later GUITAR SHOP era tour in Worcester with Terry Bozzio on drums. Stevie Ray Vaughan was also on the bill that night. JEFF is tip top notch boogie fusion rockin'... the undisputed master of this style. His Strat simply sings. I ALMOST want to throw away my guitar picks and practice. Sometimes when I go see a great player, I am either inspired to play more or just wanna pack it in and give up. After I type this, I am gonna crank my STRAT up and maybe even jam on my BASS a bit. The band, bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, keyboardist Jason Rebello, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta are a perfect fit. Tal's bass playing is a killer morph of chops, funk and pure joy. The whole band just looks like they are having fun. FYI, I only grabbed two jiffy quick lo-fi snapsots of the show so their won't anymore of the normal pile of BTM PHOTOS of this show. In general hate this sorta ban on pro cameras policy of shows, that ensures that a zillion crappy camera phones and disposable box camera shots exist forever. I understand you don't want fans full audio recording rig set-ups, huge pro video cameras and over flash snapshot shooting (and on quiet tunes the shutter clicking is a prob) but there has got to be a balance somewhere. My own concerts will always have an open photo, video and recording policy. My guess it this will never change on big venues. Even if a band wanted to have an open policy and record themselves the venue would want a cut of that action. It's all about the Benjamins man. OK back to our guitar hero BECK.... needless to say JEFF BECK is one of a handful who can truly claim GUITAR GOD status. BOTTOM LINE: Get Beck's new LIVE at Ronnie Scott's DVD ... and if for some reason you don't already have it, get Beck-Ola and Blow By Blow and the rest of his albums. jeffbeck.com xtra great hanging with (photog and cohort) Sheri Hausey at the HOB Beck 2009 show. Update: since 2009 HOB show saw BECK at Orpheum Boston. Sheri and I had VIP passes and even saw soundcheck. * Plus, the night before after my Sunday afternoon Easter Bunny Brunch Orgy Of Noise gig, I bounced over to the other side of Allston and caught another all instrumental line-up show with Red Horse, Brendan Murray, Danny Lopatin at Great Scott club. Last week I caught another great instrumental show with (RA) Robin Amos, Metal Glass Ensemble and Devil Music at Pozen Center at Mass Art Boston. Later the week, Robin Amos and the one and only Deftly-D joined in for with me for another Orgy Of Noise jam out the Noise Night circuit bent fun on Thursday. Of course more details of all my Orgy Of Noise fun are chronicled in previous post to this blog. AND after my jam out at Noise Night on Thursday I bounced over to see BENTMEN drummer FRANK COLEMAN banging with NYC's DEAD RAMONES at The Church and then on Friday caught CASEY DESMOND (the daughter of Des & Cathy of Bentmen) at the Sound Musuem's Magic Room. Grabbed a few photos of ALL of those shows, but it will be a while before I can find the time to sort and post them. NOW my main focus is on my two upcoming ORGY OF NOISE shows. One at CYBER ARTS FESTIVAL on April 25th and the other is the super MULTIMEDIA CIRCUS at The Armory on May 8th.

Eventually i will edit all the fun and produce a full dvd and more online videos from several cameras worth of video footage (shot by Kevin Pelrine, Kyle Glowacky, Heather Downing and maybe even some bonus footage shot by ME and Matt Mitchell of BandwidthTV.) and a slide show from my two favorite still photographers (Sheri Hausey & Jon Strymish) - Stay tuned for more.
