	11:13am Bob Brainen: Pax! I loathe this Winter w/o snow! At least it's been fairly cold!
	🥁 11:13am PT: Good Morning everyone! Checking in a little bit tardy here...
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Jeff @11:01 Hi there Jeff!
	🥁 11:16am RobbieWhite: You're A Better Man Than I is my favorite Yardbirds song.
	11:16am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob and Tom!
	🥁 11:16am wmfromD: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @11:12 Back at ya Will
	11:17am gene sculatti: I mean Pete!
	🥁 11:17am PT: It's barely relevant, but I just read that Jeff's modern-day stage wear was designed and made by the company who outfitted Downton Abbey. I kind of wish they weren't so versatile!
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene!
	11:18am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @11:12 Good morning, Will!
	🥁 11:18am PT: Good Morning gene sculatti! I've been called Tom all my life, it works just fine...
	🥁 11:19am Black Dog: Good morning, Bob & Pete. I've been listening to the show for some time now, but this is my first time live. Had to tune in for the Jeff Beck Memorial. Thanks!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Black Dog!
	11:19am Greg g: The Yardbirds were such a special band.
	11:20am dan: Is there gonna be anything from the Rod Stewart Unplugged Concert on this show?
	11:23am Jeff: I must’ve seen Jeff Beck more than a dozen times over the years. I had one “interaction” with him. It was at the Palladium in 1976, and Jeff was on that tour w/Jan Hammer and a then unknown band named Heart opened. I went alone and had a great seat (maybe, 3rd row dead center). There was a completely f’d up guy sitting next to me, and he insisted on talking to me. I tried to be polite, but , when Jeff came on, I told him to chill. I’m looking at the stage, and, the next thing I know, the guy started to wail on me. Almost before I could react, the security threw his ass out. Jeff was looking at me with an expression that said “what the f’k was that???”
	11:24am Kevin in Doomsville: Caught that same show, Jeff. My first concert ever. Memorable, but without the drama in the 3rd row.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Jeff, well it''s funny now and a good story.
	11:25am Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Vaya Con Dios" by "Jeff Beck [w/Imelda May]" When I heard this Imelda May track I thought it was Les Paul and Mary Ford.
	11:25am dan: Oh wait, that was Ron Wood who guested with Rod Stewart on the Unplugged record. My mistake
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar! They did a fabulous job.
	11:26am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Jeff @11:23 Hi there Jeff!
	11:26am Pax: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 Global warming !. if it's like this now, can't imagine what it's gunna be like this summer. But keep heart, it's not over until it's over. Some of that lake Erie effect might shift direction down this way, then we'll be arse deep.
	11:26am Kevin in Doomsville: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:25 Good portion of that recording features JB & IM channeling Les Paul and Mary Ford. Brilliant stuff
	11:28am Bob Brainen: It was also filmed.
	11:29am StringOFperils: 1966!! Take THAT Bobby Vinton!!
	11:30am Kevin in Doomsville: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:28 Think you can squeeze in Walking in the Sand, Bob?
	11:30am Frank Zaatar: OK, I see now. It's an uncanny re-creation.
	11:30am Greg g: Love this nugget!!
	🥁 11:31am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Great Shakes Ad #1" by "Yardbirds" Keith Yardbird?
	🥁 11:31am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸 🎸 🎸 🎸
	11:32am Kevin in Doomsville: Great opener Pete and Bob. Thanks for this.
	11:32am tom tom the pipers son: hello bob, folks!
	11:32am Jeff: Two other second hand anecdotes. My late friend Kevin went to see the Jeff Beck Group at Fillmore East. He and his buddies got to 2nd Ave late, and, instead of going in, decided to get high on the street. They were so high that they missed the opening acts and were a block away when JBG came on. He told me it was so loud that they could hear it on 7th St, and they NEVER WENT INSIDE! It was too freakin’ loud! The other one is that I was talking to someone outside a gig in Long Island. He told me he saw the Yardbirds at his high school in LI, and both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were in the band at that gig.
	11:34am Pax: Hey there Pete !
	🥁 11:34am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete and all!
	11:37am Andrew in Toronto: Morning Gina!
	11:37am Jeff: There was a guitar player before Clapton in the Yardbirds - Top Topham
	11:38am Pax: 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Frogs baby, frogs
	11:41am Zipperhead7: ↳ Jeff @11:32 It's amazing where some of these bands played, particularly as part of packaged tours. The 'Birds played my hometown in Oklahoma (pop. 25,000) in 1966!
	11:48am dan: I believe Hi Ho Silver Lining is one of the unofficial Football anthems in the UK
	🥁 11:48am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:37 Hey, Andrew!
	🥁 11:49am Will thee Sound Guy: such an epic guitar tone, really gets me every time
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:50am PT: @dan: It sure is! And a venerable pub singalong.
	11:50am dan: Becks Bolero was the midway point between Surfer Music and Jazz Fusion
	🥁 11:50am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero [w/coda]" by "Jeff Beck" Mono!
	11:51am StringOFperils: Mindf***ingly great! Pictures of the future.
	11:51am Zipperhead7: I wonder if he was still using his Esquire with a Vox Tonebender on this
	11:51am Greg g: What LP is Becks Bolero on ?? Thanks
	11:52am Pax: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero [w/coda]" by "Jeff Beck" This just drops me right back in my youth.
	🥁 11:52am PT: @Greg g: Beck's Bolero is on Truth.
	11:53am Greg g: Thanks PT!
	11:53am tom tom the pipers son: that coda to becks bolero was weird an wonderful
	11:53am Dave R.: Wow, Mingus tune.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: tom_tom_the_pipers_son!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Dave R!
	11:57am StringOFperils: Saw Alex Chilton pull this out one time at the El Mo, and it was a fab surprise, but kindergarten compared to this.
	🥁 11:57am Black Dog: I was deep into Fusion at this time, and when JB put out those 2 albums, his feel for the rock and blues aspect of Fusion just blew me away.
	11:57am S: Did my 1st blotter from San Fran the day I purchased this lp. Sat 12 inches from the speaker and watched the floor ripple. Still a fav..
	11:57am Dave R.: morning Bob & Pete. loving this Pork Pie Hat... i'm not a Beck scholar so this is new to me!
	11:58am dan: Graham Gouldman doesn’t get enough attention as an amazing songwriter. At least the Songwriters Hall Of Fame recognized his talents
	11:59am Bob Brainen: S!
	11:59am Pax: ↳ Song: "Heart Full Of Soul" by "Yardbirds" This one was my introduction to the Yardbirds.
	12:01pm PaulRobeson1923: You are on a journey outside yer mind
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, Mr. Beck always mesmerized me with his incredible skills. He had the ability to play in musical "zones" that went far beyond ordinary rock riffs. Like this gem from Stevie Wonder. Love his admonition to "Play it, Jeff!" Thanks for this tribute. Got one planned later on for Cros?
	12:02pm Dave R.: will Wonders never cease!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: Correction---"Do it, Jeff!"
	12:04pm Jeff: I wonder how Joe Beck felt about Jeff Beck?
	🥁 12:04pm PT: And how does Beck Hansen feel about either Joe or Jeff?
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	12:06pm Kevin in Doomsville: Some choice playing on this one from Loud Hailer.
	12:07pm Dean: Would love to hear one of Beck's appearances on Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends. Totally forgot that album.
	12:08pm Jeff: I saw a gig Jeff did with Bones Uk. I loved it! Like Todd Rundgren, he never stood still (musically speaking)
	🥁 12:08pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob 'n Pete. Remember buying Heart Full of Soul single, the same day as You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling; early '65.
	12:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:08 Hello Brian in UK!
	12:11pm Jeff: The only thing I found hard to accept was his association with Johnny Depp. Oh well
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK! a nice pair.
	🥁 12:11pm Brian in UK: Hello Andrew. No, I was wrong it was Go Now! & You've Lost.... on the same day. Yardbirds were later in the year. What the heck.
	12:11pm Ross T.: Been working Saturdays so great to be able to tune in and hear this wonderful tribute to the amazing Jeff Beck. Many thoughtful comments -- I will add it impressed me that in his later career he had strong women in his bands, not (just) as eye candy. Gave a feminine dynamic missing in most rock guitar jock settings. My fave LP is "Rough and Ready." "Situation" set the template for Eddie Van Halen to my mind. Just better though.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: ok, also a nice pair!
	🥁 12:12pm PT: IIRC the US picture sleeve to Heart Full of Soul featured a crewcut Clapton, who was long gone by then. One example (of many) of 1960s record company negligence.
	🥁 12:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:11 Bob, we was spoilt back then.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Ross T.! It's true, singers, bassists, 2nd guitarists.
	12:13pm Franco Twinkie: Morning dew indeed. I'm having trouble waking up. Love this version of Bonnie Dobsons classic.
	12:13pm Ross T.: Fiddle players!
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:13 Hi there Franco!
	12:14pm Dave R.: did this version of morning dew come out before the grateful dead played it?
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:12 Hi Brian in UK!
	🥁 12:15pm PT: @Ross T.: Wasn't that amazing, Jeff's employing woman players, and without drawing attention to it? Did that begin with the incredible Tal Wilkenfeld?
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: dave r,no.
	12:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dave R. @12:14 The Dead were first I believe - March of '67.
	12:15pm Dave R.: ah, thanx
	12:15pm WLSClark: Cool to hear some different Beck songs in here besides ones played on FMU often this week.
	12:16pm Sem: Hello, Bob, and Braineniacs. Along for a Beck listen.
	🥁 12:16pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:16pm WLSClark: Hi Andrew, gerry, Will and all
	12:16pm Sem: Ah, Pete, hello.
	12:17pm Dean: In 1992, Alex Skolnick (Testament) identified Eddie Van Halen's "I'm the One" solo as his favorite, characterizes VH as "Jeff Beck meets Benny Goodman"!
	12:17pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Hello Bob, Pete, Brainen Trust!
	12:18pm Ross T.: @PT As far as i know Jennifer Batten on 2nd guitar predates Tal. Batten also played a long time with Michael Jackson.
	🥁 12:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi tom tom, Black Dog, S, Gerry, Dean, Brian, Ross, Franco, WLSClark, Sem, doctorjazz, and anyone I missed before!
	12:18pm Jeff: I second the comments on Jeff re women players. He was very supportive of women and did what very few (if any) of his peers ever did. Then again, he really didn’t have any peers…
	12:19pm Ross T.: I could be wrong.
	12:19pm Sem: Will! waves
	12:19pm Ross T.: And hello Will : )
	🥁 12:20pm Black Dog: Hey, Will thee SG!
	12:21pm Kevin in Doomsville: Just last year JB recorded his final studio recording, 18, featuring Johnny Depp. It's all over the place, but their cover of Lennon's Isolation is f*cking brilliant.
	12:21pm Dave R.: speaking of morning dew, Beck might be in the same category of guitarists as Garcia -- one-offs.
	12:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PT @12:15 ff Beck`s Youtube channel: www.youtube.com...
	12:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:18 Hey doc!
	12:23pm Dean: Derek Bailey. Not kidding. Henry Kaiser ranked his "Ten 10" the best in 1992.
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:19 Greets Sem!
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: WLSClark!
	12:24pm Franco Twinkie: This is so lovely.
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: Sem!
	12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:23 Hi Andrew!
	12:24pm dan: Love Is Blue. One of the unexpected hits of the 1960s
	12:25pm Dave R.: ah, a french song
	12:26pm Sem: AiT! Good day, sir.
	🥁 12:26pm (Mr) Bill: Wow—I don’t recall hearing Beck’s reimagining of this mainstay of ‘60s middlebrow culture—Uniquely captivating.
	🥁 12:26pm Brian in UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:14 Hello again!
	🥁 12:27pm Black Dog: Wish I haeard this version a thousand times instead of what was played on the top 40 radio!
	🥁 12:27pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🚂🚞🚞🚞📻🎶🎸🥁
	12:27pm Jeff: Nowadays, the two cats I think are doing the most forward thinking work (guitar wise) are Nels Cline and Marc Ribot. Honorable mentions to Mary Halvorson, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Derek Trucks and Billy Strings.
	12:28pm dan: I wish that the Tiny Bradshaw and The Yardbirds versions of Train Kept A Rollin were more widespread than the lame Aerosmith version.
	12:28pm Frank Zaatar: Did you mention Charlie Christian in that list of Electric Guitarists Who Changed the World?
	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: AH! The famous scene from Blow Up where Jeff smashes his guitar into a Vox AC 100.
	🥁 12:28pm Brian in UK: Wonder how many guitars were in the Beck collection. Three figures I would surmise.
	🥁 12:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:28 ...and the crowd suddenly comes to life.
	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Brian in UK @12:29 YES!
	12:30pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Jeff @12:27 I would also include Tom Verlaine, Robert Fripp, and David Torn.
	12:30pm Franco Twinkie: Verlaine for me.
	🥁 12:30pm PT: @Frank Zaatar: We did not mention Charlie Christian, sorry to say. Of course I remembered him the instant we went back to the music! Oh well, doo-doo happens.
	🥁 12:32pm wmfromD: Yardbirds did a fair amount of recording in the States. Chess and Sun Studios. Always thought that was cool.
	12:32pm Dave R.: early guitarist: Eddie Durham unique innovator: Derek Bailey
	12:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @12:27 I'm not sure about the "honorable mention" part, those are heavy hitters!
	12:33pm dan: Jeff Beck could play Mary Had A Little Lamb and make it into a masterpiece.
	12:34pm Jeff: @Brian in UK - Jeff might’ve owned a bunch of guitars, but, when he played live, it was not uncommon for him to play one Strat for the whole night. No pick, hardly any pedals, never saw him tune (I don’t recall) and no guitar tech to wipe his ass. Just wood, strings, whammy bar, knobs, amp and his magic fingers!
	12:35pm StringOFperils: Jeff, on the Strat: “It doesn’t feel like a guitar at all. It’s an implement that is my voice. “A Les Paul feels like a guitar and I play differently on that and I sound too much like someone else. “With the Strat, instantly it becomes mine, so that’s why I’ve welded myself to that.
	12:37pm Ross T.: @Dan He sorta did on "Jeff's Boogie!" Maybe that is what you were getting at ; )
	12:37pm Dean: Yet the cover of Blow by Blow depicts him playing a Les Paul.
	🥁 12:40pm PT: @wmfromD: Another example of my pedantry (is that a word? I mean know-it-allism), but the Yardbirds actually recorded at Phillips Recording (Sam's larger successor to Sun) in Memphis. Sun was unusable at that point in time, it was restored in the 80s (they did a great job too!)
	12:41pm StringOFperils: A&R and the Design Dept. probably thought the Les Paul illustration tested better.
	🥁 12:43pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Song: "How High The Moon" by "Jeff Beck [w/Imelda May]" a rockin jazz tune
	🥁 12:44pm wmfromD: @PT: I did not know that.
	🥁 12:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @12:33 True dat. ’Tis pity we’ll never know what he could have done with “Feelings” and “You’re Having My Baby.”
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: When I was still waking up I heard the Great Shakes commercial that borrows the intro. I was to sleepy to laugh, but I'm laughing now!
	12:49pm Dave R.: wow, had no idea beck's was the group on Goo Goo B
	12:51pm dan: @Ross T I was not thinking that. So it is part of the Beck repertoire
	12:52pm Franco Twinkie: The bridge in this song kills me.
	12:53pm Late Bloomer: Great show guys! So many great songs Jeff played on, but that Donovan track was news to me too.
	12:53pm Dean: I thought WFMU was commercial free!
	12:53pm StringOFperils: Don't get Great Shakes on your nitro finish.
	12:53pm Ross T.: @Dan I get and agree with your point!
	🥁 12:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:54pm Franco Twinkie: That would have made a great Hoola-Hoop commercial.
	1:03pm Dave R.: i raised 2 kids and Hi Ho Silver Lining reminds me of the theme song to one of the kiddie sitcoms they used to watch...
	1:03pm Dean: More pedantry here: it's pronounced tu-ran-DOT.
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob & Pete and all
	1:09pm Kevin in Doomsville: Post that thesis Bob!
	1:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi coel!
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: I might have dreamed this, but I seem to remember a poster for The Yardbrds, Moby Grape and Captain Beefheart at The Santa Monica Civic. Can you just imagine?
	1:10pm Dave R.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:09 Whoa!
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	1:13pm Dean: And Iron Butterfly: https://www.pinterest.es/pin/565905509404276808/
	1:14pm Dave R.: Wow, Tallyman is proto-Power Pop!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @1:13 Thank you Dean. I knew I wasn't hallucinating.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Amazing how People Get Ready is instantly recognizable (the chords are nothing exotic, but it still jumps out)
	1:19pm Dave R.: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 of course nothing can touch the Impressions version -- except, perhaps, many live versions by James Booker.
	1:19pm Jeff: Thinking of the Yardbirds go me to think about Giorgio Gomelsky. Arguable, a pivotal figure in that band’s history as well as the Stones and others. In the late ‘70s/early ‘80s he was heavily involved in the NYC scene with Material and Gong. He lived in Manhattan for many years and had a place in Chelsea. I went there around 15 years ago to see my friend Rick’s band Grip Weeds. At the end of the evening, Giorgio was sitting somewhere, and I went over and had a real nice conversation with him.
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz! And that 4 note figure is so memorable.
	🥁 1:24pm PT: @Jeff: When preparing this show, Bob and I got into several conversations re: Giorgio. His Chelsea pad was very near where I worked at the time and I always had a fantasy that I would drop by one day. You made my fantasy reality, and with our old pals the Grip Weeds no less. Well done! Giorgio was quite a figure.
	1:30pm Greg g: Yardbirds : 10 years ahead of their time? Who knows? but certainly timeless.
	1:32pm Greg g: They were like prog rock that didn’t lose the rock n roll.
	🥁 1:34pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Greg g @1:32 Right on!
	1:35pm Sem: Love this, lyrical.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Jeff Beck" One if you're tunes it takes a lot of guts to cover... Man, that slide tone!!!!
	1:36pm Kevin in Doomsville: In London a few years back, waiting on line to see Richard Thompson, when I overhear that the very next day JB was playing a free outdoor concert, opening for Sting. "One of these things is not like the other," I said. The next day I was there to hear this played live & loud!
	1:37pm Dean: Consider five years later, the early 1971 release of The Yes Album, featuring "Starship Trooper." Steve Howe and Jeff Beck are two very different rock guitarists, but where Beck in the '60s seems to be anticipating the future, Howe wants to ground the fledgling genre in its rock roots. Almost as if they're shaking hands.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Jeff Beck" And her managed to be both very much respectful to the original arrangement, and still have it be all Beck.
	1:41pm StringOFperils: Blue Cheer...beat me to it
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: but it's not really a Mose song
	1:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:42 True....much older
	1:45pm sydnius: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:53 🐸🐸🐸
	1:48pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great tribute show! Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:48pm Dean: Produced by Simon Napier-Bell: https://www.discogs.com/master/16500-Yardbirds-Happenings-Ten-Years-Time-Ago/image/SW1hZ2U6NzYxOTU1NzE=
	1:49pm Dean: Note at Discogs claims John Paul Jones plays bass on HTYTA.
	🥁 1:50pm (Mr) Bill: Jeff Beck would have liked this show, I think.
	1:52pm Kevin in Doomsville: Thanks Bob & Pete

	🥁 1:55pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Bob and Pete, epic show! tasteful tribute, RIP Jeff Beck!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Not sure the slide doing I'd from standard tuning-that does change easily available notes (chord tuning gives many 3rds), but that tone, all Beck, methinks...
	1:56pm doctorjazz: Great tribute, thanks Bob and Pete!

	11:16am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob and Tom!
	🥁 11:16am wmfromD: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @11:12 Back at ya Will
	11:17am gene sculatti: I mean Pete!
	🥁 11:17am PT: It's barely relevant, but I just read that Jeff's modern-day stage wear was designed and made by the company who outfitted Downton Abbey. I kind of wish they weren't so versatile!
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene!
	11:18am Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @11:12 Good morning, Will!
	🥁 11:18am PT: Good Morning gene sculatti! I've been called Tom all my life, it works just fine...
	🥁 11:19am Black Dog: Good morning, Bob & Pete. I've been listening to the show for some time now, but this is my first time live. Had to tune in for the Jeff Beck Memorial. Thanks!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Black Dog!
	11:19am Greg g: The Yardbirds were such a special band.
	11:20am dan: Is there gonna be anything from the Rod Stewart Unplugged Concert on this show?
	11:23am Jeff: I must’ve seen Jeff Beck more than a dozen times over the years. I had one “interaction” with him. It was at the Palladium in 1976, and Jeff was on that tour w/Jan Hammer and a then unknown band named Heart opened. I went alone and had a great seat (maybe, 3rd row dead center). There was a completely f’d up guy sitting next to me, and he insisted on talking to me. I tried to be polite, but , when Jeff came on, I told him to chill. I’m looking at the stage, and, the next thing I know, the guy started to wail on me. Almost before I could react, the security threw his ass out. Jeff was looking at me with an expression that said “what the f’k was that???”
	11:24am Kevin in Doomsville: Caught that same show, Jeff. My first concert ever. Memorable, but without the drama in the 3rd row.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Jeff, well it''s funny now and a good story.
	11:25am Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Vaya Con Dios" by "Jeff Beck [w/Imelda May]" When I heard this Imelda May track I thought it was Les Paul and Mary Ford.
	11:25am dan: Oh wait, that was Ron Wood who guested with Rod Stewart on the Unplugged record. My mistake
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar! They did a fabulous job.
	11:26am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Jeff @11:23 Hi there Jeff!
	11:26am Pax: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 Global warming !. if it's like this now, can't imagine what it's gunna be like this summer. But keep heart, it's not over until it's over. Some of that lake Erie effect might shift direction down this way, then we'll be arse deep.
	11:26am Kevin in Doomsville: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:25 Good portion of that recording features JB & IM channeling Les Paul and Mary Ford. Brilliant stuff
	11:28am Bob Brainen: It was also filmed.
	11:29am StringOFperils: 1966!! Take THAT Bobby Vinton!!
	11:30am Kevin in Doomsville: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:28 Think you can squeeze in Walking in the Sand, Bob?
	11:30am Frank Zaatar: OK, I see now. It's an uncanny re-creation.
	11:30am Greg g: Love this nugget!!
	🥁 11:31am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Great Shakes Ad #1" by "Yardbirds" Keith Yardbird?
	🥁 11:31am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸 🎸 🎸 🎸
	11:32am Kevin in Doomsville: Great opener Pete and Bob. Thanks for this.
	11:32am tom tom the pipers son: hello bob, folks!
	11:32am Jeff: Two other second hand anecdotes. My late friend Kevin went to see the Jeff Beck Group at Fillmore East. He and his buddies got to 2nd Ave late, and, instead of going in, decided to get high on the street. They were so high that they missed the opening acts and were a block away when JBG came on. He told me it was so loud that they could hear it on 7th St, and they NEVER WENT INSIDE! It was too freakin’ loud! The other one is that I was talking to someone outside a gig in Long Island. He told me he saw the Yardbirds at his high school in LI, and both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were in the band at that gig.
	11:34am Pax: Hey there Pete !
	🥁 11:34am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete and all!
	11:37am Andrew in Toronto: Morning Gina!
	11:37am Jeff: There was a guitar player before Clapton in the Yardbirds - Top Topham
	11:38am Pax: 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Frogs baby, frogs
	11:41am Zipperhead7: ↳ Jeff @11:32 It's amazing where some of these bands played, particularly as part of packaged tours. The 'Birds played my hometown in Oklahoma (pop. 25,000) in 1966!
	11:48am dan: I believe Hi Ho Silver Lining is one of the unofficial Football anthems in the UK
	🥁 11:48am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:37 Hey, Andrew!
	🥁 11:49am Will thee Sound Guy: such an epic guitar tone, really gets me every time
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:50am PT: @dan: It sure is! And a venerable pub singalong.
	11:50am dan: Becks Bolero was the midway point between Surfer Music and Jazz Fusion
	🥁 11:50am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero [w/coda]" by "Jeff Beck" Mono!
	11:51am StringOFperils: Mindf***ingly great! Pictures of the future.
	11:51am Zipperhead7: I wonder if he was still using his Esquire with a Vox Tonebender on this
	11:51am Greg g: What LP is Becks Bolero on ?? Thanks
	11:52am Pax: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero [w/coda]" by "Jeff Beck" This just drops me right back in my youth.
	🥁 11:52am PT: @Greg g: Beck's Bolero is on Truth.
	11:53am Greg g: Thanks PT!
	11:53am tom tom the pipers son: that coda to becks bolero was weird an wonderful
	11:53am Dave R.: Wow, Mingus tune.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: tom_tom_the_pipers_son!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Dave R!
	11:57am StringOFperils: Saw Alex Chilton pull this out one time at the El Mo, and it was a fab surprise, but kindergarten compared to this.
	🥁 11:57am Black Dog: I was deep into Fusion at this time, and when JB put out those 2 albums, his feel for the rock and blues aspect of Fusion just blew me away.
	11:57am S: Did my 1st blotter from San Fran the day I purchased this lp. Sat 12 inches from the speaker and watched the floor ripple. Still a fav..
	11:57am Dave R.: morning Bob & Pete. loving this Pork Pie Hat... i'm not a Beck scholar so this is new to me!
	11:58am dan: Graham Gouldman doesn’t get enough attention as an amazing songwriter. At least the Songwriters Hall Of Fame recognized his talents
	11:59am Bob Brainen: S!
	11:59am Pax: ↳ Song: "Heart Full Of Soul" by "Yardbirds" This one was my introduction to the Yardbirds.
	12:01pm PaulRobeson1923: You are on a journey outside yer mind
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, Mr. Beck always mesmerized me with his incredible skills. He had the ability to play in musical "zones" that went far beyond ordinary rock riffs. Like this gem from Stevie Wonder. Love his admonition to "Play it, Jeff!" Thanks for this tribute. Got one planned later on for Cros?
	12:02pm Dave R.: will Wonders never cease!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: Correction---"Do it, Jeff!"
	12:04pm Jeff: I wonder how Joe Beck felt about Jeff Beck?
	🥁 12:04pm PT: And how does Beck Hansen feel about either Joe or Jeff?
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	12:06pm Kevin in Doomsville: Some choice playing on this one from Loud Hailer.
	12:07pm Dean: Would love to hear one of Beck's appearances on Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends. Totally forgot that album.
	12:08pm Jeff: I saw a gig Jeff did with Bones Uk. I loved it! Like Todd Rundgren, he never stood still (musically speaking)
	🥁 12:08pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob 'n Pete. Remember buying Heart Full of Soul single, the same day as You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling; early '65.
	12:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:08 Hello Brian in UK!
	12:11pm Jeff: The only thing I found hard to accept was his association with Johnny Depp. Oh well
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK! a nice pair.
	🥁 12:11pm Brian in UK: Hello Andrew. No, I was wrong it was Go Now! & You've Lost.... on the same day. Yardbirds were later in the year. What the heck.
	12:11pm Ross T.: Been working Saturdays so great to be able to tune in and hear this wonderful tribute to the amazing Jeff Beck. Many thoughtful comments -- I will add it impressed me that in his later career he had strong women in his bands, not (just) as eye candy. Gave a feminine dynamic missing in most rock guitar jock settings. My fave LP is "Rough and Ready." "Situation" set the template for Eddie Van Halen to my mind. Just better though.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: ok, also a nice pair!
	🥁 12:12pm PT: IIRC the US picture sleeve to Heart Full of Soul featured a crewcut Clapton, who was long gone by then. One example (of many) of 1960s record company negligence.
	🥁 12:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:11 Bob, we was spoilt back then.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Ross T.! It's true, singers, bassists, 2nd guitarists.
	12:13pm Franco Twinkie: Morning dew indeed. I'm having trouble waking up. Love this version of Bonnie Dobsons classic.
	12:13pm Ross T.: Fiddle players!
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:13 Hi there Franco!
	12:14pm Dave R.: did this version of morning dew come out before the grateful dead played it?
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:12 Hi Brian in UK!
	🥁 12:15pm PT: @Ross T.: Wasn't that amazing, Jeff's employing woman players, and without drawing attention to it? Did that begin with the incredible Tal Wilkenfeld?
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: dave r,no.
	12:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dave R. @12:14 The Dead were first I believe - March of '67.
	12:15pm Dave R.: ah, thanx
	12:15pm WLSClark: Cool to hear some different Beck songs in here besides ones played on FMU often this week.
	12:16pm Sem: Hello, Bob, and Braineniacs. Along for a Beck listen.
	🥁 12:16pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:16pm WLSClark: Hi Andrew, gerry, Will and all
	12:16pm Sem: Ah, Pete, hello.
	12:17pm Dean: In 1992, Alex Skolnick (Testament) identified Eddie Van Halen's "I'm the One" solo as his favorite, characterizes VH as "Jeff Beck meets Benny Goodman"!
	12:17pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Hello Bob, Pete, Brainen Trust!
	12:18pm Ross T.: @PT As far as i know Jennifer Batten on 2nd guitar predates Tal. Batten also played a long time with Michael Jackson.
	🥁 12:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi tom tom, Black Dog, S, Gerry, Dean, Brian, Ross, Franco, WLSClark, Sem, doctorjazz, and anyone I missed before!
	12:18pm Jeff: I second the comments on Jeff re women players. He was very supportive of women and did what very few (if any) of his peers ever did. Then again, he really didn’t have any peers…
	12:19pm Ross T.: I could be wrong.
	12:19pm Sem: Will! waves
	12:19pm Ross T.: And hello Will : )
	🥁 12:20pm Black Dog: Hey, Will thee SG!
	12:21pm Kevin in Doomsville: Just last year JB recorded his final studio recording, 18, featuring Johnny Depp. It's all over the place, but their cover of Lennon's Isolation is f*cking brilliant.
	12:21pm Dave R.: speaking of morning dew, Beck might be in the same category of guitarists as Garcia -- one-offs.
	12:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PT @12:15 ff Beck`s Youtube channel: www.youtube.com...
	12:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:18 Hey doc!
	12:23pm Dean: Derek Bailey. Not kidding. Henry Kaiser ranked his "Ten 10" the best in 1992.
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:19 Greets Sem!
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: WLSClark!
	12:24pm Franco Twinkie: This is so lovely.
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: Sem!
	12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:23 Hi Andrew!
	12:24pm dan: Love Is Blue. One of the unexpected hits of the 1960s
	12:25pm Dave R.: ah, a french song
	12:26pm Sem: AiT! Good day, sir.
	🥁 12:26pm (Mr) Bill: Wow—I don’t recall hearing Beck’s reimagining of this mainstay of ‘60s middlebrow culture—Uniquely captivating.
	🥁 12:26pm Brian in UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:14 Hello again!
	🥁 12:27pm Black Dog: Wish I haeard this version a thousand times instead of what was played on the top 40 radio!
	🥁 12:27pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🚂🚞🚞🚞📻🎶🎸🥁
	12:27pm Jeff: Nowadays, the two cats I think are doing the most forward thinking work (guitar wise) are Nels Cline and Marc Ribot. Honorable mentions to Mary Halvorson, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Derek Trucks and Billy Strings.
	12:28pm dan: I wish that the Tiny Bradshaw and The Yardbirds versions of Train Kept A Rollin were more widespread than the lame Aerosmith version.
	12:28pm Frank Zaatar: Did you mention Charlie Christian in that list of Electric Guitarists Who Changed the World?
	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: AH! The famous scene from Blow Up where Jeff smashes his guitar into a Vox AC 100.
	🥁 12:28pm Brian in UK: Wonder how many guitars were in the Beck collection. Three figures I would surmise.
	🥁 12:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:28 ...and the crowd suddenly comes to life.
	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Brian in UK @12:29 YES!
	12:30pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Jeff @12:27 I would also include Tom Verlaine, Robert Fripp, and David Torn.
	12:30pm Franco Twinkie: Verlaine for me.
	🥁 12:30pm PT: @Frank Zaatar: We did not mention Charlie Christian, sorry to say. Of course I remembered him the instant we went back to the music! Oh well, doo-doo happens.
	🥁 12:32pm wmfromD: Yardbirds did a fair amount of recording in the States. Chess and Sun Studios. Always thought that was cool.
	12:32pm Dave R.: early guitarist: Eddie Durham unique innovator: Derek Bailey
	12:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @12:27 I'm not sure about the "honorable mention" part, those are heavy hitters!
	12:33pm dan: Jeff Beck could play Mary Had A Little Lamb and make it into a masterpiece.
	12:34pm Jeff: @Brian in UK - Jeff might’ve owned a bunch of guitars, but, when he played live, it was not uncommon for him to play one Strat for the whole night. No pick, hardly any pedals, never saw him tune (I don’t recall) and no guitar tech to wipe his ass. Just wood, strings, whammy bar, knobs, amp and his magic fingers!
	12:35pm StringOFperils: Jeff, on the Strat: “It doesn’t feel like a guitar at all. It’s an implement that is my voice. “A Les Paul feels like a guitar and I play differently on that and I sound too much like someone else. “With the Strat, instantly it becomes mine, so that’s why I’ve welded myself to that.
	12:37pm Ross T.: @Dan He sorta did on "Jeff's Boogie!" Maybe that is what you were getting at ; )
	12:37pm Dean: Yet the cover of Blow by Blow depicts him playing a Les Paul.
	🥁 12:40pm PT: @wmfromD: Another example of my pedantry (is that a word? I mean know-it-allism), but the Yardbirds actually recorded at Phillips Recording (Sam's larger successor to Sun) in Memphis. Sun was unusable at that point in time, it was restored in the 80s (they did a great job too!)
	12:41pm StringOFperils: A&R and the Design Dept. probably thought the Les Paul illustration tested better.
	🥁 12:43pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Song: "How High The Moon" by "Jeff Beck [w/Imelda May]" a rockin jazz tune
	🥁 12:44pm wmfromD: @PT: I did not know that.
	🥁 12:46pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @12:33 True dat. ’Tis pity we’ll never know what he could have done with “Feelings” and “You’re Having My Baby.”
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: When I was still waking up I heard the Great Shakes commercial that borrows the intro. I was to sleepy to laugh, but I'm laughing now!
	12:49pm Dave R.: wow, had no idea beck's was the group on Goo Goo B
	12:51pm dan: @Ross T I was not thinking that. So it is part of the Beck repertoire
	12:52pm Franco Twinkie: The bridge in this song kills me.
	12:53pm Late Bloomer: Great show guys! So many great songs Jeff played on, but that Donovan track was news to me too.
	12:53pm Dean: I thought WFMU was commercial free!
	12:53pm StringOFperils: Don't get Great Shakes on your nitro finish.
	12:53pm Ross T.: @Dan I get and agree with your point!
	🥁 12:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:54pm Franco Twinkie: That would have made a great Hoola-Hoop commercial.
	1:03pm Dave R.: i raised 2 kids and Hi Ho Silver Lining reminds me of the theme song to one of the kiddie sitcoms they used to watch...
	1:03pm Dean: More pedantry here: it's pronounced tu-ran-DOT.
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob & Pete and all
	1:09pm Kevin in Doomsville: Post that thesis Bob!
	1:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi coel!
	1:09pm Franco Twinkie: I might have dreamed this, but I seem to remember a poster for The Yardbrds, Moby Grape and Captain Beefheart at The Santa Monica Civic. Can you just imagine?
	1:10pm Dave R.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:09 Whoa!
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	1:13pm Dean: And Iron Butterfly: https://www.pinterest.es/pin/565905509404276808/
	1:14pm Dave R.: Wow, Tallyman is proto-Power Pop!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @1:13 Thank you Dean. I knew I wasn't hallucinating.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Amazing how People Get Ready is instantly recognizable (the chords are nothing exotic, but it still jumps out)
	1:19pm Dave R.: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 of course nothing can touch the Impressions version -- except, perhaps, many live versions by James Booker.
	1:19pm Jeff: Thinking of the Yardbirds go me to think about Giorgio Gomelsky. Arguable, a pivotal figure in that band’s history as well as the Stones and others. In the late ‘70s/early ‘80s he was heavily involved in the NYC scene with Material and Gong. He lived in Manhattan for many years and had a place in Chelsea. I went there around 15 years ago to see my friend Rick’s band Grip Weeds. At the end of the evening, Giorgio was sitting somewhere, and I went over and had a real nice conversation with him.
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz! And that 4 note figure is so memorable.
	🥁 1:24pm PT: @Jeff: When preparing this show, Bob and I got into several conversations re: Giorgio. His Chelsea pad was very near where I worked at the time and I always had a fantasy that I would drop by one day. You made my fantasy reality, and with our old pals the Grip Weeds no less. Well done! Giorgio was quite a figure.
	1:30pm Greg g: Yardbirds : 10 years ahead of their time? Who knows? but certainly timeless.
	1:32pm Greg g: They were like prog rock that didn’t lose the rock n roll.
	🥁 1:34pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Greg g @1:32 Right on!
	1:35pm Sem: Love this, lyrical.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Jeff Beck" One if you're tunes it takes a lot of guts to cover... Man, that slide tone!!!!
	1:36pm Kevin in Doomsville: In London a few years back, waiting on line to see Richard Thompson, when I overhear that the very next day JB was playing a free outdoor concert, opening for Sting. "One of these things is not like the other," I said. The next day I was there to hear this played live & loud!
	1:37pm Dean: Consider five years later, the early 1971 release of The Yes Album, featuring "Starship Trooper." Steve Howe and Jeff Beck are two very different rock guitarists, but where Beck in the '60s seems to be anticipating the future, Howe wants to ground the fledgling genre in its rock roots. Almost as if they're shaking hands.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Day in the Life" by "Jeff Beck" And her managed to be both very much respectful to the original arrangement, and still have it be all Beck.
	1:41pm StringOFperils: Blue Cheer...beat me to it
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: but it's not really a Mose song
	1:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:42 True....much older
	1:45pm sydnius: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @12:53 🐸🐸🐸
	1:48pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great tribute show! Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:48pm Dean: Produced by Simon Napier-Bell: https://www.discogs.com/master/16500-Yardbirds-Happenings-Ten-Years-Time-Ago/image/SW1hZ2U6NzYxOTU1NzE=
	1:49pm Dean: Note at Discogs claims John Paul Jones plays bass on HTYTA.
	🥁 1:50pm (Mr) Bill: Jeff Beck would have liked this show, I think.
	1:52pm Kevin in Doomsville: Thanks Bob & Pete
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Who do You Love inspired, of course.
	1:54pm Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto! Sorry, I missed you in the "!s"
	🥁 1:55pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Bob and Pete, epic show! tasteful tribute, RIP Jeff Beck!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Not sure the slide doing I'd from standard tuning-that does change easily available notes (chord tuning gives many 3rds), but that tone, all Beck, methinks...
	1:56pm doctorjazz: Great tribute, thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thx bob and pete
	🥁 1:56pm wmfromD: Great one Bob and Pete!
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "What Do You Want" by "Yardbirds" Now we know the Feeliies were listening to this album.
	1:56pm Jeff: Bob + Pete, wonderful tribute to Jeff today. Pete, I’ve been listening to Bob for over 40 years now. He my favorite DJ. I’m glad he’s back to 3 hours and love your guest slots. One of the very few good things happening today. Looking forward to the next one!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: No song could be more fitting to close this tribute. Tone perfect.
	1:57pm kev: Thank you
	1:58pm Sem: Thank you, Bob and Peter, and thank you once more.
	1:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @1:56 What Jeff said (been listening since I believe the 90s, a Wednesday afternoon slot, I believe...)
	1:58pm gene sculatti: Great show, you guys!
	1:59pm Greg g: We said (Mr) Bill. Kudos Bob and Pete and thank you Jeff Beck. Take care
	1:59pm Frank Zaatar: As usual, an excellent education, Bob and Pete!
	1:59pm StringOFperils: Nice work! Too bad it had to happen, but....
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob! Thanks Pete! rest in peace Mr. Beck.
	🥁 2:01pm PT: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone, and once again, let me offer a HUGE shoutout to Mr. Brainen for letting me contribute. See you next month!
	8:50pm TDK60: Golly, missed this show Bob & Pete. Will listen, right soon...
