Jeff Beck/Missouri, USA 1995

A valuable live performance from the mid-1990s, which is said to be the “blank 10 years” between “Guitar Shop” and “Who Else” in Beck’s long career, is here on the soundboard sound source. In August 1995, without an album release, he suddenly embarked on a double-header US tour with Santana. This is an almost complete 72-minute recording of the August 27th St. Louis performance from that tour, from the soundboard sound source leaked by the people involved, and the unreleased song “Hurricane” that was performed at the opening that became a hot topic. , even the master is Omi after all. However, since it is recorded from the original master that has been released on the Internet in recent years, the sound quality is clearer and more powerful than the past distribution, and overcomes the drawback that the audience’s voice can hardly be heard because it is directly connected to the board. However, I am glad that I can listen to each player’s play vividly. In terms of performance, the sound of the four-piece “Guitar Shop” trio with Pino Palantino’s bass added is basically an extension of the “Guitar Shop” tour, but the core of the band is still Bozzio’s transcendent drumming. So, it’s tighter and heavier than last time. In addition, Beck’s playing, both melodies and phrases, are breathtakingly wonderful, and he develops an approach that goes beyond his previous approaches, such as the blues phrase using a new means of expression in “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.” Also, at the end, you can listen to a rare version of the song with vocalists from the Santana Band, in master quality. 01.
