Jeff Beck RIP 78 years old so had a proper rock n roll life & lived to an old age, influenced many on this forum as well

Jeff Beck would tour. I saw him as often as I could. One of my biggest regrets was

"losing" a concert due to drug use. Kingdome Seattle. I was there, but I was not there. I arrived "home" about 3 days later and everybody thought I was dead. Thankfully, I have 39 years of sobriety now. While I turned my back to those days, I kept listening to Jeff, as well as Bill to get me through my life.

I am trying to remember it was either a concert or a filmed interview that he wore some very tribal piece and he said that he was gifted it. So, I felt a kinship with him.

He also had a clip at MOPOP - the Music Museum in Seattle, in which he said that Hendrix could play these notes that he just could not, because he was English. I think he was leaning on a custom car at the time. Folks in the audience snickered. That is how I want to remember him, an unforgettable talent that was gracious and open.

What a shocking terrible loss. He was absolutely unique and a true original. Im stunned. There will never be another player remotely like Jeff Beck. May flights of angels sing you to your rest Jeff Beck.

I saw Jeff on his wire tour with Boston opening. He sounded like Jan Hammer and you never knew who was actually playing.
