      Jeff very humbly called that album an “accessible” version of Mahavishnu, but it stands quite well on its own, thank you very much. I had that and Wired on a TDK cassette back in the day. Fantastic road trip music.

    I'm always up for a Kenny Vaughan interview. I appreciate not just his stories which are always entertaining, but also his view and opinions on music. I'm going to try and hunt up that Yardbirds on the Shindig video to see what Kenny was talking about.
    Edit: I just watched the video. Kenny was right. Beck was incredible, a real gunslinger. At the end he holds the guitar upright in his left hand, all the while playing it just doing hammer-ons with the fingers of his left hand while he grabs the slide. And this was in 1965.

  • @williamcurtin5692
    @williamcurtin5692 Рік тому +2

    I had the same reaction to those Yardbirds things when I was a junior and senior in HS. He was like nobody else at all. Even Hendrix wasn't that much of a shock after having heard Beck for two years.

    True story. A childhood friend of mine was hanging with another well known musician who he'd hooked up with somehow in an LA studio. He and another friend left and hailed a cab, he here's a dude with a British accent asking where they were going, and could he share a ride as he was heading in the same direction. The dude jumps in with a cigarette in his mouth and my buddy without missing a beat snatches the cigarette out of his mouth and flings it out the window, saying no smoking in the cab. The dude looks at him and says "But it was just a clove cig, mate". Yep, none other than Jeff Beck.

    I was 14 when I watched The Yardbirds tear ABC's "Shindig" a new one, which Kenny describes so well here. A year later The Yardbirds actually played Lima, Ohio's Springbrook Gardens Teen Club on Dec. 4, 1966 (you can Google the show poster), a venue just 20 miles east of our family farm. I thought I was gonna see both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page that night, but found out Beck had returned to London after becoming upset with the conditions on their U.S. tour. What I didn't know until 50 years later watching UA-cam interviews was that 19 year-old NYC native Elliott Randall (then a guitar teacher at Lima's Custom Percussion Music Store) also attended that show and introduced himself to Jimmy Page. Less than 6 years later in the the summer of 1972, Randall would compose and play the lead guitar solos on Steely Dan's "Reelin' In the Years" -- solos which Page in 1973 famously rated "12 on a scale of 10" and said made him rethink his whole approach to guitar solos.

    • @eternallife9786

      @@eternallife9786 A year earlier, in the fall of 1965, I got to see another future Steely Dan session guitarist, Rick Derringer, perform with his band The McCoys ("Hang on Sloopy") at the Van Wert, Ohio county fairgrounds. Rick grew up in Fort Recovery, Ohio, just 40 miles south of Van Wert. I've always wondered if Randall and Derringer crossed paths during their time in western Ohio, before they both became in-demand session guitarists.

      @@vayabroder729 For sure. I saw him live on a double bill with Santana in the early 90s at Deer Creek. He was actually supposed to headline that night. Luckily Santana went on first because I tried to dig on Jeff but had to split after about 3 songs. What I remember most though was Terry Bozzio’s “raft” of drums. He seriously had a 20’ x 30’ platform with about 3,976 drums and 1,543 cymbals completely covering it. I think he was lowered by a rope ladder to get into it😂
