The Jeff Beck Group

Musical Group

The Jeff Beck Group was an English rock band formed by guitarist Jeff Beck. It had two main lineups (late 1960s with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood; early 1970s with Bob Tench, Max Middleton, Cozy Powell and Clive Chaman) and is known for pioneering blues-rock approaches that later fed Beck's fusion work.

Publicly verifiable facts reflected in the reviews and historical record: formed by Jeff Beck in 1967; two principal lineups (first lineup included Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood; second lineup included Bob Tench, Cozy Powell, Max Middleton, Clive Chaman); key early albums include Truth (1968) and Beck-Ola (1969); later second-lineup albums include Rough and Ready (1971) and Jeff Beck Group (1972). Reviews reference Beck’s use of wah-wah, slide and bottleneck techniques and note a 1971 live concert recording now circulated as a bootleg.

Collection of three DeBaser reviews focused on the Jeff Beck Group (second lineup). Reviews highlight guitar technique (wah-wah, slide, bottleneck), jazz/funk leanings on Rough and Ready, and a 1971 live bootleg. Overall appraisal is appreciative but measured.

For:Fans of classic rock and blues-rock, guitarists, collectors of live/bootleg recordings.

 This album contains expressive, timbral, and tonal gems that fully represent our playing and sound which, combined with the effectiveness of his pastoral lyricism soaked in slide and bottleneck will pave the way for his more delicate creations in the years to come.

 I hadn't listened to Jeff Beck for a while because, unfortunately, he reminded me of my absence at his Vigevano concert on 06/29/2011 (sigh!!!) Today, I finally decided to make peace with myself, and I put on "Rough and Ready" from 1971, a creation of the second "Jeff Beck Group" (the one without Rod Stewart), which would also release the eponymous album "The Jeff Beck Group" in 1972.

 I found this live bootleg a few years ago in a supermarket basket for the modest price of €1.99.
