Jeff Beck,B.B.King/New York,USA 2003

The 2003 US summer tour accompanying the release of “JEFF”, which was the final chapter of the digital trilogy, was a hot topic as it was a joint tour with the late B.B. King, and the tour was held on August 15th. A complete recording of the live performance at Jones Beach, New York, with a high quality digital audience that can be said to be perfect in terms of sound quality and balance from the DAT master. First of all, disc:1 is Beck, and at this time, the members who participated in the album did not accompany him, and the lineup was made up of the strongest trio of “Guitar Shop”, Beck, Terry Bozzio, and Tony Hymas. Above all, Terry’s incredible drumming remained the same, making him the most prominent presence in this thrilling live performance. It should be noted that on this tour, the album numbers were often typed and it was difficult to reproduce them live, so it is unusual that there are many representative songs from the previous album, with only “Seasons” and “My Thing” from “JEFF”. Furthermore, disc:2 also includes a complete recording of Odai B.B. King’s live performance. The dignified stage is still an overwhelming play with a lively feeling, and Beck also appears in the final stage “The Thrill Is Gone” and the jam after that, as well as “Paying The Cost To Be The Boss”. This will be an exciting session tournament. Although Beck’s show from this period can be experienced at the officially released gig at the B.B. King Club a few weeks later, fans were able to enjoy the realistic and vivid sound that perfectly recreated the tremendous sound space created by the strongest trio. A must-listen item.
