Boy, I lucked out on seeing Beck & ZZ Top together. They had to cancel some early dates too, right? It's been two great years of Beck, first with Brian Wilson, and this summer with ZZ Top. I hope Dusty is okay and they can resume touring.

After the fiasco,of the Boston Jeff/ZZ show being cancelled, I'm happy to say I scored front row/soundcheckeck for the Boston Orpheum gig.

Amazing show!
Was fortunate to get the Jeff Beck VIP, and was treated to a 45 minute soundcheck with about 50 other people in an otherwise empty Greek Theater.
It was very casual, and Jeff chatted back and forth with us in between numbers. At one point he told his drummer to show us all what he's got,
and the guy blazed a hailstorm of machine gun-like fury on his set making everyone's jaws drop while Beck shook his head and laughed in disbelief and awe.
I'm not really into drum solo's by any means, but this was easily the best 30 second drum solo I've ever seen!
Some young whippersnapper named Tyler Bryant opened the show, and he played a very nice solo acoustic set tearing it up on slide.
While his guitar playing was on the mark, his vocals were kind of weak, but I suppose that can be expected for someone as young as he is.
As they always say: "Jeff keeps getting better and better", and after seeing him live numerous times throughout the years, the saying still holds true.
Every time I see him = blown away by his virtuosity, and as was mentioned previously by DEmerson and crawdaddy , the 2nd guitar player fit in well.
As for ZZ Top, have seen them several times since '83, the most recent (prior to last night) at the House of Blues front row a couple years ago.
While that was a great show, last night they seemed better and tighter...perhaps fueled by having Jeff Beck in their presence.
Maybe they'll keep getting better and better as time marches on ala Jeff Beck!
If you get a chance, see this tour!

They are starting up again soon, happily. Hairball, what time was the soundcheck? I have VIP for Kingston and I'm trying to do the logistics. Thank you for any info.
