Liked his work from when I first heard him in the Yardbirds. Rod Stewart did his best stuff with Beck, including a terrific version of People Get Ready.

If anybody is interested in some background information about this guy, please read the book from Julian Dawson about Nicky Hopkins A Rock Legend, who played the piano for the Rolling Stones, and for Mr. Beck, and amongst others for Quicksilver Messenger Service, and they must be played here, please!

Saw him last year and a really great show. Amazingly he only used ONE guitar (Strat) all evening.

Saw him here recent and it was a great show. Except for one tune all instrumental. Blistering guitar and solid supporting band.

Without him, there would have been no Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson, or Les Dudek. One-man wrecking ball on guitar.

Wow!
Does anybody remember way back in the 1970s...when you have dozens of guitar players with bands that were experimenting with all kinds of variations of rock n roll?
What we got today? Thud and drone crap from Foo Fighters, Linkin park, Nickel back, etc.
Rock n roll RIP. Oh well, I guess there is still "country" music.

Just listen for the finger screeching on the strings. No over produced crap like today.
And people wonder why these guys still attract good crowds at live shows. I saw Beck on TV...amazing and the guy has to be almost 65! Apparently, he's 68. Great song and fantastic musicianship all around. |

Sweet! It always sounded good to me from when it first came out, but I gained a whole new appreciation of Beck when a classmate at E-school had such a deep fervor for his stuff and played it constantly, along with lots of obscure Yes, King Crimson, Tangerine Dream and the like...mighty good stuff to study to!

I saw Beck perform this at the old Cominski Park in Chicago in 77.
He was back up to Aerosmith
During this song the right flield bleachers caught fire.
Neat song to play while a staduim of +60,000 started on fire.

Another gem of a "record" bought for pocket change at the second-hand music shop known as Plastic Fantastic ... those were the days!  |

I never have understood the "very much of it's time" statements.
Of course it is.

Got this album when it first came out (I was still in high school) and it still sounds great!

man it's all good - the drumming, the bass, the funky keyboards and the super snarl and cry of JB's guitar.
they do not make music like this anymore.

It's a 9 just from the opening drumline. Might have to make it a 10.
