Jeff Beck Interview (now with captions) Rare, Unheard -- 1975 Blow by Blow Tour.

#JeffBeck interview -- Turn on ACCURATE CAPTIONS! Rare, previously unheard and conducted during 1975 Blow by Blow tour. I was a 24-year-old freelance journalist when I interviewed the 30-year-old Beck in the second week of the tour following his breakthrough jazz-rock album. It was conducted May 9, 1975 in his dressing room at Detroit's Masonic Auditorium.
Beck simply was largely unavailable for interviews early in his career. He reportedly hated rock reporters and critics, but I managed to get 40 minutes with the man. The interview provides insight into his transformation from a rocker to always-evolving instrumentalist he became over the decades. I found my tape of this interview two days after his unexpected death on January 10 of 2023.
Beck was double billed with John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra for the tour and the Masonic Auditorium gig. By the way, a bootleg of his performance that night, called "Blowing in Detroit," can be found with a google search. BTW, as an aside, two groupies came into the dressing room and asked Jeff "what Jimmy Page is like." He had them thrown out. LOL
