Jeff Beck,Jan Hammer/London,UK 1976

After the release of the album “Wired”, from the 1976-77 tour with the Jan Hammer Group, the first day, June 23, was the London Roundhouse performance (Alvin Lee’s former member of Ten Years After). Performances on the undercard) are recorded in ultra-high quality audience recordings! ! This is the audience source, but considering the times, it is recorded with an amazingly clear sound that cannot be expected any more, and you can enjoy the exciting performance of the first day of the tour with a very pleasant sound image! There is no sound deterioration at all, and the sound is extremely fresh and different from the sound that has gone through generation.The sound is extremely fresh, and the quality of the treble and bass are ideally adjusted, and the sound pressure is increased through careful treatment. This sound source is finished with the ultimate sound with clarity and depth throughout! ! Of course, the pitch adjustment is also perfect. After BBA disintegrated in the air in 1974, Jeff released “Blow By Blow”, which can be said to be influenced by Mahavishnu, in 1975 (he used Bernard Purdy as a tour member on that year’s tour). He became clear about his inclination towards jazz/crossover sounds, and this tendency became even stronger in the follow-up “Wired”, which featured artists such as Narada Michael Walden. Furthermore, the current Jan Hammer group was appointed as an extension of that, and this period can be said to be the most technical and exciting era in Beck’s history. Since he was performing with the original members of Mahavishnu, who Beck at the time was close to admiring in a sense, I can imagine that he was quite enthusiastic on this first day. The highly original performance by this line-up is truly worth listening to, and the frightening improvisations of the members of the Jan Hammer Group are so captivating that they are all worth listening to. Jeff’s spirited play, which shows off his exciting approach, is a masterpiece from beginning to end! ! Among them, Tony Smith’s playing, which did not convey any good quality at all on “Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live” (maybe because of the flat sound quality?), stands out, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the best drummer in Beck’s history. Flexible super play will unfold throughout the entire story! Anyway, the bending of the rhythm is artistic, and the mysterious groove that is just and fast, yet has a solid weight, which is seen in this type of drummer such as Omar Hakim, is very thrilling. Although he has collaborated with various drummers since then, it is no exaggeration to say that Tony Smith is the best drummer who brought out Beck’s technical side! Even if you are not a fan, this is a must-listen to the unique and exciting collaborative play of Jan and Jeff, who have strong individuality based on this strongest rhythm! ! A perfect item in both sound quality and content, packaging valuable and important sound sources representing the 1976 tour with exceptional sound quality! !
