Jeff Beck Rock and roll party

[drmilktruck]

The only live version of Jeff Beck's Big Town Playboys with Darrel on vocals - Racin' with the Devil, Crazy Legs and a few more, including a great version of the Train Kept A Rollin':

Jeff Beck is playing stadiums with those pro juniors too
that's pretty wild, i mean yeah they are going through the p.a. but still, 15 watts, 8 inch speaker, stadium?? wild stuff.

I remember buying this record when I was a teenager in my heavy metal phase and playing it over and over - I remember thinking that I'd not quite heard anything like it. Certainly a different kind of record for our Jeff.
Now it seems that Beck was well ahead of his time in that Marylin Manson style slow death metal sound. Not only that but notice all the "Cat purr" trem flicks during the solo (it opens up with one). Now unless I'm mistaken this was way before Cat Purrs were being used by Steve Vai etc. - Only other guy I ever heard using them this early was possibly Van Halen if my memory serves me right.
So - in addition to everything else, he was "somehow" well ahead of his time in Death Metal and Cat Purrs Hahah
Gotta go down as one of the most underrated players ever. Along with Setzer.

Saw the Rock n Roll party tour tonight,
Looks like Jeff had Blues instead of Pro juniors for this show, i was in the back, and saw the cabs. pretty clearly.
great show, nothing less than the best!

For the record, a Pro Jr has a ten inch speaker. And they rawk.

I bought these a few days back and have just watched it. Awesome show. Up there amongst my favourite music DVDs.

I got it yesterday and watched it last night. The added attraction of Beck showing his guitar collection from his home is worth the price of the DVD. Funny how he let Seymour trade him out of his Esquire for a couple of pickups and a modded Tele.

I agree with the poster, why isn't Imelda all over the TV.

Spotted her a couple o weeks ago on a BBC breakfastshow. I just caught the end of it while zapping, so not sure what was said or if she performed at all.
