4 out of 5 stars this deserves a lot more praise.......2006-11-01

This album was always knocked b/c of the over influence by Jan Hammer. That assessment is so inaccurate since the knock on Jeff Beck is that he cannot write songs, carry a band, and act as a frontman. He always needed a collaborator...enter Jan Hammer.

What is Beck's best works but "Blow by Blow" and "Wired" ... Jan Hammer influenced works?!

This a showcase of musicianship and Hammer's keyboards enhances the guitar playing, it does not detract it.

"Freeway Jam" is extended from what it was in the studio. As much as it is a guitar song, it needs heavy keyboards. It is a great rendition.

"Fool moon boogie" and "Earth" are groove tunes that allow the guitar and keyboard, trading back and forth, to establish and carry the rhythm.

"Scatterbrain" is a genuine jazz (not fusion) song.

"She's a woman" takes a Beatle's song and turns it on it's head utilizing its basic form to showcase innovative musicianship.

"Blue Wind", the closer, rev's up everything, goes for the jugular, and rocks, rocks, rocks! It takes teh great studio song and opens it up in every direction.

Beck's greatest success was in the 1970's, when he played his fusion stuff. Why would a live album, reflective of his most successful period, not be considered triumphant?

I highly recommend this.

4 out of 5 stars Brief, But Entertaining.......2006-06-12

An excellent album to introduce someone to fusion. Some live albums of this nature can go on forever, and you can easily loose interest. But with this recording there is an excellent choice of material to show off both of these two geniuses.

4 out of 5 stars I saw this show!.......2006-03-31

I saw this band, playing this set, in Perth, Western Australia god know's how long ago, I knew I wasn't old enough to drive...
Remembering that all this music was done 'live' before click tracks or on stage sequencers, this was amazing.
Some of the most amazing synth solos and comping from Jan Hammer, one of the true stylists, at his most dexterous...And Jeff Beck (with whom I wasn't really familiar at the time, though I knew he was a heavyweight...) is the perfect partner. This band had an unusual and angular sound that I haven't heard anywhere else.

This cd captures a unique moment in time with some amazing players at the peak of their abilities.

Great and exciting stuff.

4 out of 5 stars A great live album thats too short.......2006-02-12

Jeff Beck is the best guitarist on the planet and has been for a very long time.
What you get here is an abbreviated version of him live.
His song selection is not the best, but Freeway Jam which is one of my all time favorite Beck songs is included.
You also ger Scatterbrain and Blue Wind.
She's a Woman the old Beatles song is also included.
Jeff Beck at this time was playing some of his best guitar and his solo instrumental career was taking off.
The songs with the Jan Hammer Group to me are very average and infact distract what Beck is trying to to.

Unfortunately this is his only Live album from his instrumental era. I truely wish he would release a DVD of himself in concert for those who either havent seen him live or would like to see him live on DVD.
The idea was good, the Cd is too short and not up to snuff.

4 out of 5 stars Eggcellent!.......2003-03-23

This is an album worth buying. Being a 42 year old Fusion Fanatic, I'm extremely picky about what I listen to. I have a mature, well-round "musical taste-bud" and let me tell you, if you're looking for excellent Jazz Rock Fusion guitar work that's smoothly integrated with snazzy, smooth, and highly listenable keyboards, this is the album you have to buy!
