I was there! When I saw the thumbnail, and I saw the drawn back curtain, I Knew it was The Grande. Thank you so much! I did not know this recording existed.
Whoa! Beck...always so angular & unpredictable! His blues playing (~16:17) and LP + Marshall tone kinda shares something with LZII-era Page, but he invariably roars off in a direction completely his own. Thanks for sharing this! It really got me wondering what Beck might have been like in a more Cream-type situation, with a jazzier bassist and drummer like Ginger Baker or Mitch Mitchell. Don't get me wrong--I love this iteration of the JBG!--esp when he switched to a Strat on Beck Ola. Anyway, fantastic stuff!
Now THAT would have been a great supergroup! Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Rod Stewart---would have certainly challenged Led Zeppelin's supremacy of the genre. We did at least get Blind Faith, and one night of the Dirty Mac supergroup (Lennon, Clapton, Richards, Mitchell), but not the other great possibility of Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Miles Davis, and Tony Williams).
@@jaredbratten1062 It's fascinating to wonder what a Cream + JBG mashup might have sounded like(!)...unfortunately though, I suspect it would have succumb to the same Baker vs. Bruce infighting that was ultimately the demise of Cream. Hendrix...had he lived longer, I always felt like he _might_ have forged a path similar to Beck's? Imagine a Hendrix style "Blow by Blow" or "Wired"...now that would have been something.

RIP JB ❤️
Sublime in the drive and rhythms.
Beautiful
Wow, I feel like I'm there!
Audience recording. Beck at his peak.
This is really great, thanks!
Awesome
Nicky Hopkins played piano for JBG.
