      I once went to watch my bass player bro-in-law play a midweek gig in a not very full working men’s club, in a sort of pick-up band. Turned out the keyboard player that evening was Andy Clark from this band, who wrote one of the tracks on Wired ( Upp apparently acted as a rehearsal band for that album). Nice fella. Sad to hear about the drummer. They were a very polished outfit all round.

    Jeff was well into his career by this time, and here he is playing without a whammy bar. Here he is at this point, already one of the most influential rock guitarists ever, and he still went on to develop one of the all time great whammy bar techniques ever in the history of the instrument.

    Unfortunately, Steve is no longer with us. He died some time ago broke and lonely as l hear. We used to go all over to see UPP but my favorite memories of the band were at the Marquee in Wardour St, London. Steves real name was Stephen Feild, but Amazing was a more apt name l think. He used to amazes us all with his fantastic style. sadly missed but never forgotten.

    This Band was a Funk Monster! I worked at Epic/CBS in the 70’s at almost any other time it would have been big. The Company was behind Jeff whose career had benefited from BLOW BY BLOW AND WIRED this was released during that time period.I think we had two UPP Lps both pretty
    good. We never emphasized Beck was the
    Producer ( it was certainly mentioned) but not
    to the degree necessary. In fact few probably had heard of the group even now. Beck was so humble and oriented toward the Music he was low key. He was such an anomaly it’s what drew his audiences and his career longevity.He in a way was like Bowie reinventing himself always a treat and interesting. He was the Worlds Best Guitarist /Period!
    Even though he and Brian Wilson were very different
    people listen to his version of “ Surfs Up” a melodic Masterpiece bettered by Beck as a Stylist. I have written so many Beck Tributes and each time I miss him more. He is reaching into Gods Guitar Custom Shop fine tuning his Axe and heading out on Tour. I can’t even imagine who will be backing this time.

    Geoffrey Arnold «Jeff» Beck (Wallington, Gran Londres, 24 de junio de 1944 - 10 de enero de 2023)​ fue un guitarrista británico de rock y blues que tocó en varias bandas influyentes en las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Fue uno de los tres notables guitarristas que tocaron en The Yardbirds, siendo Eric Clapton y Jimmy Page los otros dos. Durante 25 años mantuvo una esporádica carrera en solitario. A pesar de no haber alcanzado nunca la proyección comercial de sus contemporáneos, Beck tuvo un gran reconocimiento, especialmente en la comunidad de guitarristas. Experimentó con el blues rock, el rockabilly, el heavy metal y el jazz fusión y en su última época había absorbido influencias del techno, creando una innovadora mezcla de música heavy metal y música electrónica.

    beck is perhaps one of the biggest influences on rock guitarists. ,moreso than hendrix, clapton, etc. his work on '71's 'Rough and Ready' album was a virtual encyclopedia of rock guitar tricks that have been commonplace since the 80s.

    This is proof that white boys can play funk just as good as anybody. There’s also Jazz rock in here too. Jeff Beck is the greatest guitarist of his generation. Better than Clapton and Page but sadly underrated and overlooked throughout the years.

    @BlueAttitudeMusic - As Page indicates in his induction speech for Jeff at the 2010 R+R Hall of Fame, 'Jeff leaves us mere mortals in the dust.' (I'm paraphrasing... ) But Page is right. Jeff keeps reaching for something new and different. As someone pointed out re: Jeff's performance at the 2010 Crossroads Festival. 'Who else but Jeff Beck could play a classical tune ('Nessun Dorma') at a blues festival and get a standing ovation from 30,000 people.' That tune (and 'Hammerhead') are on the DVD.

    @chill66blog - Sorry, but Beck was doing the feedback thing prior to replacing Clapton in the Yardbirds ('65) and made good use of it during his tenure with that innovative band. Hendrix was a huge Beck fan before he even moved to London (and stardom), because Beck was - really - the only one moving the electric guitar forward. Clapton, Green and the rest - great as they were - were going backwards, to the Blues. Beck also did the Blues, but he was moving things forward...always.

      I've heard the rumor that Beck ran and told Pete Townsend that there was some guy copying them...i.e......burning guitars, breaking stuff. ...at a club. Talking about Hendrix.....I don't see that as reciprocal camaraderie.

    • @wayneblanchard97

      @cedricbeard The 'Green' is Peter Green, who died just the other day. Green took Clapton's place in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers when Eric quit to form Cream. After one album, 'A Hard Road' (with future Jeff Beck drummer Aynsley Dunbar, later with Zappa, Bowie, Journey, Starship, Whitesnake...) and some singles, Green quit Mayall to start Fleetwood Mac, enlisting two of his former Bluesbreakers bandmates and naming the band after them, just so they would have their own band should he ever leave. Check Mayall's 'The Supernatural' to hear Green, as well as Fleetwood Mac's 'Black Magic Woman' and 'Oh Well', two of Green's best-known compositions.) As for Beck being cheaper to hire than Townshend, yes. When 'Blow Up' producer approached Who manager Kit Lambert about featuring the band in his movie, Lambert asked Yardbirds manager Simon Napier-Bell how much he should ask for. Napier-Bell, with a plan in mind, said £10,000, which would have been a massive sum in '66. When Lambert was rejected, the Yardbirds were offered at a fraction of the price. And yes, the guitar smashing was in keeping with Antonio's reason to have the Who. And the guitar was a cheap Italian job because Jeff, quite rightly, wasn't going to smash his Les Paul. As for Hendrix, yes, they all thought Jimi was on another level. Townshend had less to be concerned about, but for Clapton and Beck in particular, the local hotshots, the arrival of Hendrix was a serious blow to their ego and confidence. Beck seemingly took the matter particularly hard. Personally, I consider Beck to be a far more accomplished and creative guitarist, however, as he noted, Jimi was the 'whole package'...writer, singer, player, showman...

    It’s worth noting that Jeff Beck attracts the best musicians and then inspires them to be even better. That bass player is smokin’ and the drummer is so tight. Then there’s Jan Hammer (?) on keyboards. Makes you think that his later work with that incredible band at Ronnie Scott’s wasn’t a fluke at all. 👏

    Upp? I've never even heard of Upp. I'm a long-time fan of JB, and never knew he played with this band. Did he do an album with them? 1974 puts him between the JBG and BBA years and before Blow By Blow and Wired. The jazz fusion influence from Upp shows on those two albums. This is an unexpected pleasure to watch.

    • @robertdevoy3119

      UPP was a band that Jeff liked and decided to produce their first record. He played guitar on 2 or 3 songs, but basically UPP was a 3 piece outfit without guitar. They did a 2nd album without Jeff involved and added a guitar player to the line-up. This 2nd album is absolutely awesome with a bit more commercial appeal while still showcasing the incredible musicianship. I consider both albums essential to any collection.
