| joelbb | Posted: Feb 22, 2013 - 19:02 I can remember laying on a dorm bed in Houston in early '68, listening to this piece on the city's brand new, FM, All-Underground radio station. The station was so radical that it played something other than Top-40, cuts from albums even. Recorded mid-year '65, Beck's Bolero may be the seminal British Blues Invasion wailing blues-rock guitar lead. Archetypal. BTW, the man still has his chops. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Boy_Wonder (Bath, back in the UK) | Posted: Jan 22, 2013 - 11:23 Sheer genius - takes me back to secondary school, I had a copy of 'Heigh Ho Silver Lining' and turned it over to discover this on the B-side - you can see where Zep came from. Shame Beck went off into jazz-noodle land!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Or so Jimmy Page would have everyone believe. Jeff Beck has a very different version of the story. Page even admits the only guitar he was playing on it was a 12-string electric guitar, none of the leads. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| George_Tirebiter (Phoenix) | Posted: Mar 19, 2010 - 08:58 One of the things I liked about this album was Rod Stewart's vocal's. Bluesy and full of emotion - it was perfect for this and Beck-Ola. Too bad Rod decided to go on with the smarmy, forgettable horsecrap he was singing in the 70's. His vocals on this album are his best work I think Oh yeah - Beck's Bolero still stands up well after all these years.  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The sleek, polished sounds of that instrument ultimately captivated the audience, but, based on first impressions, his bassist, the young Tal Wilkenfeld, stole the show. The fresh-faced, curly-haired 23-year-old quickly demonstrated her ability as a monster bassist, not only showing off her rhythmic jazz chops, but also taking her turn from the boss on some mind-bending lead work.

Well, no... the guy that wrote off the entire world of jazz, using the awfulness of Vince Guaraldi's Cast Your Fate To The Wind as a prime example, might have gone one better. Re this tune- man. I'd forgotten it even existed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well this may not be my favorite Jeff Beck piece, but you have to give the man his due. Listen to some old Yardbirds - you have Beck, Clapton, Page at different (and sometimes overlapping) times - but invariably when you hear a guitar part in of their songs that is fresh and intriguing it's Beck. An amazing innovator. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
