Jeff Beck / Maryland Heights 1995 Soundboard / 1CDR / Uxbridge
Riverport Amphitheater, Maryland Heights, MO, USA 27th August 1995
Jeff Beck in 1995 with Terry Bozzio & Tony Hymas and Pino Palladino. A soundboard album that will pour the live performance into your brain is now available.
Recorded in this work is “Maryland Heights performance on August 25, 1995”. It is the best sound board recording. The 90’s was a dark age for fans. Not only were there few studio works, but also the visit to Japan was not realized for 10 years. As a matter of fact, the situation was not only in Japan, but Jeff did not tour much even from a global perspective. In order to imagine the situation around that, let’s take a bird’s eye view of the 90’s tour in total this time.
・ 1990: Europe #1 (15 performances)
・ 1995: North America #1 (43 performances) ← Coco
・ 1998: Europe #2 (20 performances)
・ 1999: North America #2 (50 performances) + Japan & UK (11 performances)
This is Jeff Beck in the 90’s. In addition to this, there were special performances such as guest appearances and event participation, but the above is the only “tour” that performs a large number of times. It was a scale that I couldn’t believe was 10 years. Since 1998, they have revived their live activities, and since then they have been touring constantly every year until the 2000s, but you can understand that they were almost dormant in the first half of the 90s. In the early 1990s, the only thing that was held on a reasonable scale was “North America # 1” in 1995. The Maryland Heights performance of this work was the 21st performance, which will be the turning point.
This work, which records such a show, is a superb sound board that is directly connected to the brain. Actually, it is monaural, but its sound quality / sense of synchronization is a strange level. The balance, which whispers loud cheers far away, is clearly directly connected to the mix table, and in that sense, there is no sense of concert experience. However, the sense of direct connection is the greatest, and the live performance reproduces the subtleties of the subtleties in the brain. It’s like the skull has become a console, and you can immerse yourself in a different dimension of synchronicity as if you were part of the PA system.
Moreover, the sound quality itself is superb. The guitar strings and drum skin are so clear that you can feel the vibration, and each sound is clear and clear. Although the balance / mix is a vividness that can not be an official work, the sound quality itself is completely official.
The precious 90’s Jeff Beck’s enthusiastic performance is depicted on such a transcendental soundboard. Let’s organize the set here.
●Guitar Shop (7 songs)
・Stand On It (★)/Guitar Shop (★)/Savoy/Behind The Veil/Where Were You/Big Block/Sling Shot
● Others (8 songs)
・Blow By Blow: Freeway Jam / Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers
・Wired: Goodbye Pork Pie Hat / Blue Wind
・There and Back: Star Cycle/You Never Know
・Other: Hurricane (★) / People Get Ready
* Note: “★” marks are (mostly) limited songs up to this tour.
… and it looks like this. In the 1990s, there was the soundtrack “FRANKIE’S HOUSE” and the project board “CRAZY LEGS”, but it was “GUITAR SHOP” that became the axis of live performances. All songs except “Day in the House” and “Two Rivers” out of the 9 songs on the album were performed. In addition, the new song “Hurricane”, which has not been recorded on the album, will also be played. Also, in addition to that “Hurricane”, “Stand On It” and “Guitar Shop” are limited songs that have hardly been played since this tour.
And the live performance that spells out such a set is wonderful. The members are a quartet consisting of the “GUITAR SHOP Trio” consisting of Jeff, Bozzio & Hymas, plus Pino Palladino. Pino is also known for his activities with THE WHO, NINE INCH NAILS, Gary Numan, etc., and is a master of Rolling Stone magazine’s “50 Best Bassists of All Time”. The virtuosity that such masters want to get close to and unfolds is directly poured into the brain. And finally, the biggest listening point is the last “People Get Ready”. Here, Kev Mo, a representative bluesman of the 90’s, appears. He performs with a soulful singing voice.
“Jeff in the 90’s”, which was not easily conveyed only in official works and Japanese performances. However, at the scene, he showed his sharp and sharp sense as usual. This work is one of the “official alternatives” that allows you to enjoy such live performances directly in your brain. Now that attention is being paid to Jeff’s life itself, it is one piece that I would like you to thoroughly enjoy.
* Superb sound board recording of “Maryland Heights performance on August 25, 1995”. Even though it’s monaural, the feeling of synchronism directly connected to the mix desk is tremendous, and the subtleties of the live performance are reproduced in your brain, and you can enjoy a different dimension of immersion, as if your skull has become a console. “People Get Ready”, in which the ensemble with Terry Bozzio & Tony Hymas, Pino Palladino, and Keb Mo participate as guests, is also a pleasure board in which a delicious full show is poured directly into the brain.
