jeff beck

speaking of ppl who were produced by mickie most, we actually got _requests_ for jeff beck at the li'l jam this wk, which was cool 'cos it gave us a chance to feature the gtr stylings of ron geida, a.k.a. (at least by me) "the velvet hammer." while i saw jeff twice on his wired tour back in '76 (got my ears blown out once, to where i couldn't hear _anything_ for around four hrs after the show, but the second time was pure hair-standing-on-neck bliss), i still kinda prefer his group in its earlier rod stewart-ron wood-nicky hopkins and bob tench-max middleton-cozy powell incarnations, the first of which is on display in this studio vid clip from the 1969 sessions that produced beck-ola alb.
