Jeff Beck is a great guitarist but he's all about flash - as one of his album title boldly screams! He's also a born leader and would never have blended in with Keith, or Mick for that matter.

Interesting to hear how bad of a fit Jeff Beck was for the Stones. Thanks for posting!

Yep, surprisingly with Jeff it it sounded a bit "stalemate" to me, as if they din't want to make music together.

Are these tapes new in bootleg world?
They sound like 10th generation cassette dubs.
What is the story?

Sometimes, great musicians just can't make the magic together

His guestappearance in the first O2 show London 2012 hurted my ears. Way too loud in the beginning and I liked Ronnie and Keith solo's more.

He has outgrown the flash years ago,imo. He is a unique soloist who uses lots of subtle moves to get his point across. He's like a lead singer on the guitar, working melodies and with amazing tone variations.
The best technician on guitar there has ever been, and he just keeps getting better! Yes he can be flashy when he wants but he is so much more than that. If you've ever heard him play songs like "People Get Ready" solo, it just hits you what a master he is.
No doubt a terrible fit for the Stones. He sorta outgrew their simple approach to music years ago and of course would never have lasted with Keith calling the shots and with the crazy party atmosphere that Ronnie and Keith embraced so well in the mid-70's.

My friend Thomas put it this way: When he saw Jeff Beck coming on stage and
starting to noodle, he said: "Like an overexcited dog that´s pissing in every
corner". EXACTLY!

Well how about the best technician n a Stratocaster? His right hand work is incredible, his finger picking and tremolo work unique and masterful.

Jeff Beck is Jeff Beck, the combination of the things you mentioned make him unique, and don't forget his left hand. It's just how you want to define technic? I don't hear him play along on let's say Friday night in san francisco from a technical or harmonical point of view, or Chet Atkins finger picking on Jerrys Breakdown. But I absolutely love his playing, still one of the most ground breaking players around, even at his age.

Jeff Beck is Jeff Beck. Leave it at that, but does he wear a wig at his age you think?

Jeff Beck is a technically brilliant and incredibly boring guitarist. A friend of mine fell asleep taping one of his shows back in 99!

The thing is, it's not easy at all to play what Keith and Ronnie play.

True. I have never heard anyone who play like them

Seriously, that possible 'Beck joining the Stones' is one of oddest deals in history of rock. Was it ever serious? Was Beck serious? Broke at the time? What were the Stones thinking... good dope around?
In 1975 flashy guitarists were still a big deal, but just to think of that Taylor was seemingly artistically bored with the Stones, and his ambition is probably chicken shit compared to Beck's... what would have been SOME GIRLS like with Beck...? Jagger entering the sessions with his guitar and strumming damn loud with his primitive technique, and shouting "look boys, let's play some punk! FASTER FASTER FASTER!!". I mean, Richards was struggling with Mick at the time - what would have been Beck like?><
Anyway, Beck and Jagger were doing alright at Obama's blues party. At the time I thought it was freshing to see Jagger with a competent guitarist, since I have lost my hope for Richards/Wood axis. Much to my surprise, Keith and especially Ronnie have proved me wrong...

Yeah, but you do get the real thing while listening to the Rotterdam tapes. The Stones are playing an uber-primitive blues, whilst Beck is using volume pedals, the whammy bar and the guitar knobs like there was no tomorrow to sound special.
It's priceless!
