Jeff Beck Tickets – Still Finding All Sorts of Emotions and Commotions

Hailed as one of the best guitar players in history, Jeff Beck is out on tour this summer promoting his first set in seven years. The Emotion & CommotionTour opened in San Francisco’s Nob Hill Masonic Centre in April and will close out at the Crossroad Festival in Chicago in late June. Beck’s one May performance was rocking the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, where he had no problem living up to what Jazz Fest producer Quint Davis hailed as “the greatest guitarist to come out of and emerge from rock ‘n’ roll,” reports Festival Crashers. The result was nothing but extraordinary, as http://www.stubhub.com continues to sell <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/jeff-beck-tickets/”>Jeff Beck tickets</a>.

Despite the obvious promotions, Beck is promoting legendary guitar maker Les Paul in a two-night residency at the Iridium Jazz Club of New York City. The “Celebration of Les Paul” will feature Beck and The Imelda May Band June 8th and 9th honoring the late Les Paul, who passed away this year. “When I first heard Les Paul playing ‘How High the Moon,’ I thought, man, that’s what I want my sound to be like. Now, here I am years later and he’s still a powerful influence in all that I do,” Beck said in a press release. The event with Gibson Guitar will take place on Paul’s 95th birthday. The performance is just one of many that Beck has been able to honor for the legendary Paul, as he and Imelda May performed that classic hit Beck talks of during 2010’s Grammy Awards.

While Jeff Beck’s name might not be as mainstream as his fellow Yardbirds alum Eric Clapton, in the rock ‘n’ roll world his is the most talked about in history. Though commercial audiences had trouble catching on to his tunes following Rod Stewart’s departure from the Jeff Beck Group, the England native can astound with just a few musical bars.  That magical power was showcased last April when Beck joined singer Joss Stone on the stage for “Idol Gives Back.” The fundraising event brought together an all-star cast but it was Stone and Beck, who did their own rendition of Jay Hawkins’ 1956 classic “I Put a Spell on You” that stole the show.

A rock ‘n’ roll staple since the ’60s when he joined the Yardbirds’ following Clapton’s departure, Beck marked a first last year when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After a whirlwind of promotions that year as Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder celebrated 25 years of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Beck headed straight into the studio. Bringing along producers Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn, it was the first time Beck recorded in nearly a decade. The Rhino Records release was yet another first for the veteran guitarist, as Emotions & Commotions became his bestselling album to date. With a critically and commercially praised set, Beck had no other choice to promote his 15th studio set with a tour, bringing along new band members Rhonda Smith, Narada Michael Walden and longtime keyboardist Jason Rebello.

Eric Clapton, also known as “Slowhand” for his intricate guitar-picking style as well as one of his most successful albums of the same name, first launched his solo career with his self-titled debut album in mid-1970. Already, Clapton was a well-established star among the ranks in the music industry, thanks to his associations with the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream and Blind Faith. After his first solo release, Clapton dominated the decade with records that included: 461 Ocean Boulevard, There’s One in Every Crowd, E.C. Was Here, Slowhand and Backless. Several prominent singles arose from the efforts like “Cocaine,” “Lay Down Sally” and “Wonderful Tonight.” A couple decades later, Clapton became famous for another massively successful single, “Tears in Heaven,” which was written for his four-year-old son, who plunged to his death after he fell out of an apartment window. These days, it is still a joy to see Slowhand live in concert with a pair of Eric Clapton tickets.

Jeff Beck may not have achieved the same amount of star power as his contemporaries in the rock music field, but his skill on the guitar is undeniable. Beck started dabbling in the music industry in the 1960s when he joined the Yardbirds after the departure of Eric Clapton, and later formed the Jeff Beck Group with vocalist Rod Stewart and bassist Ron Wood, both of whom went onto have illustrious careers in the industry: Stewart as a solo artist and Wood as a member of the Rolling Stones. After the lineup dissolved, Beck continued releasing various albums periodically including Blow By Blow, which was a collaboration with Jan Hammer, and Wired. Beck would emerge onto the scene, only to disappear again for a years, haphazardly releasing albums and teaming up with his counterparts in the industry, like Mick Jagger and Roger Waters. Most recently, Beck released a live set of songs called Performing This Week: Live at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in 2008. Any fan has a chance to see him live with a pair of Jeff Beck tickets.

Any Clapton and Beck fan would surely jump at the chance to see these two iconic figures live on stage together. It might be a long trip to get there, but once the lights dim and the strings of the guitars can be heard filtering through the still air, it would surely be worth the flight.
