Topic: Jeff Beck Louisville, KY

I saw Jeff Beck in Louisville, Kentucky last night and I still haven't recovered.  I have never heard anyone pull those kind of beautiful sounds out of a guitar.  He came out rockin' and his show was intense all of the way through.  His band was awesome, especially the drummer,  Narada Michael Walden (probably butchered the spelling on that).  Beck played gorgeous melodies, smoking blues riffs, fusion meltdowns, grinding rock, and some outer space riffs.  I had never seen him live.  He is an icon, a true guitar master.  Anyone who gets the chance should go see him, and of course Joe if they get the chance.  You can buy the CD's and watch their DVD's, but it is when you see them live that you see just how unbelievably talented they actually are.  Live you feel the power of their volume, the energy of their dynamics, and the true art of their individual musicianship.  I saw Joe in March in Cincinnati and Beck in April in Louisville.  I have had a great spring season so far.
Tyler Bryant did a very good job opening the show also.  It takes some courage to step out in a  theater full of guitar players and musicians and play solo on acoustic.  Good vocals and good picking!  He also got to jam a few minutes with Jeff Beck which has to be a thrill.

Re: Jeff Beck Louisville, KY

We saw Jeff in Minneapolis on the 17th and he was brilliant and so was his band. There is nobody that can play the guitar like him. He's an artist in every sense of the word. And to think he's almost 67 years old.

We too were very impressed by Tyler Bryant. First time seeing him live and I gotta say the kid's got it!

Re: Jeff Beck Louisville, KY

A good friend of mine texted from Nashville today saying Jeff Beck was playing the Ryman tonight and he was gonna try and find tix for him and his wife, then they're off to Memphis for the Beale St. Festival.

+1! Fingers of one hand less a couple for Jeff and the other best players around, a living icon! Speaking of openers, last year we got to see Jimmy Bowskill open for Jeff and Joe! I'll say again, look for this young Canadian.
