Video – Jeff Beck’s People Get Ready in Seattle, October 2011

As I mentioned in my last post, Jeff Beck was in Seattle last week and I was fortunate enough to have tickets in the 7th row (Special thanks to Don and Jeff for that bit of luck!). Jeff Beck has been my favorite guitarist for as long as I can remember and I’ve seen him a few time throughout the years. The first time was in 1976 on the Wired tour, and it was easily the best show I’d ever seen. I was in high school then and I still remember parts of that show as if it were yesterday. To this day it ranks up there as one of my favorite shows ever.

Last week’s show was equally amazing, though quite different. It seems that Beck is now the acknowledged master who is completely comfortable with where he’s at and what he’s accomplished. His band was phenomenal, and he went out of his way to acknowledge and spotlight them throughout the show. As tight as any band I’ve ever seen, this is probably his best band since the original Jeff Beck Group lineup, and that’s really saying something!

I won’t bore you with all the details as there are some great reviews out there of his recent shows. But I did want to share a short clip I got at the show. People Get Ready has long been my favorite song, and holds very special meaning to me. I was able to get the first half of the song before security tapped me on the shoulder and told me there was no video allowed! So while I apologize for the abrupt end of the clip, here’s a great version of People Get Ready!
