There was a time when seeing Jeff Beck live was a rare treat. El Becko could disappear for years at a stretch, seemingly more interested in rebuilding hot rods than maintaining anything resembling a conventional career.
Thankfully these days he's considerably more active... Maybe he needs the money for spare parts? Whatever keeps him on the road, we're not complaining. Nobody plays guitar quite like him. Blues, soul, rock, fusion... Beck moves freely through all of it while sounding unmistakably like himself, his touch, phrasing and command of the instrument making genre almost beside the point. At the Grand Rex tonight, it's another master class by the master.
