Description
A master at work. A band on fire. A night when rock, fusion, and pure electricity collided. Homespun brings you this live radio broadcast from WNEW-FM of Jeff Beck: Live at the Riverside Theatre, in Milwaukee on May 10th, 1975. One of the most thrilling eras of Beck's storied career. Touring behind the ground-breaking Blow by Blow, Beck stepped onto the Riverside stage armed with a new sound, a killer band, and the kind of musical confidence that only comes from breaking every rule in the book.
This historic radio broadcast preserves that moment in all its sharp-edged, high-voltage glory. From the first notes, Beck plays like a man reinventing the guitar in real time--bending, twisting, and coaxing impossible tones out of every phrase. His blend of rock muscle, jazz finesse, and fearless improvisation feels revolutionary, even decades later.
Joined by Max Middleton's shimmering keyboards, Wilbur Bascomb's driving bass lines, and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie's legendary groove, the band delivers performances that are both tight and wildly adventurous. Tracks like "Freeway Jam" explode with rhythmic force, while the more spacious moments highlight Beck's uncanny ability to let a single note hang in the air like a breathless question.
Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering the genius of Jeff Beck anew, this album delivers a front-row seat to one of his most inspired performances.
Turn it up and experience Jeff Beck at full power--innovative, electrifying, and utterly unstoppable.
