Jeff Beck Group

In 1976, when Jeff Beck took the stage with The Jan Hammer Group for a live performance of 'Scatterbrain,' he was riding high on the waves of innovation and experimentation. Just a year prior, he released the groundbreaking album 'Blow by Blow,' which marked a significant turning point in his career, blending rock with jazz fusion and instrumental prowess. This live recording at the Astor Theater in Reading, PA, showcases Beck's electrifying guitar skills and Jan Hammer's masterful synthesizer work, creating a truly immersive experience. Interestingly, 'Blow by Blow' featured a unique sound that showcased Beck's shift toward a more melodic and improvisatory style, setting the stage for this dynamic performance. It's fascinating how this moment captured the essence of two legends pushing musical boundaries, reminding us of the vitality and creativity that defined the mid-70s music scene.
