I headed in to the Irving Plaza, recently named the Filmore Irving Plaza to capitalize on the name of the Filmore East.
Not sure why they did that, maybe it brings more old rockers out to try to recapture their youth.
Anyway headed in with a few of my old buddy's and saw the show.
Jeff Beck is as fine a guitar player, as the world has ever seen.
He doesn't sing so it's all instrumental.
He was amazing.
The playing was perfect and quite beautiful.
He has been reborn lately, after his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall\ of Fame.
He has introduced a young girl to the rock world named Tal Wilkenfeld and she as a bass guitar player she is reinventing the bass as a premier instrument.
I am sure there are players, as talented as she is ,such as Pedro Arevalo who plays with Dickey Betts and Great Southern.
He has his own Album out and he is very talented .
This girl Tal though brings an excitement and passion to the instrument rarely seen.
She has a smile when she plays that is infectious.
You find yourself smiling along with her.
As talented and good as Jeff Beck is, she has helped revitalize his career, and adds a true breath of fresh air to the rock world.
I am sure she will have a very long and illustrious career in the music world where ever it takes her.
It was great to see Mr. Beck play again, and he is one of the all time greats who will define our era.
I remember listening to Jeff Beck Truth while a Junior in High School with Rod Stewart
as the origional lead singer.
Rod Stewart never sounded better than on that album.
