 Buy this DVD Now! March 3, 2010
R. Morrison (USA)
Listen to me...yeah you at the keyboard...Everyone who has posted a review for this DVD are telling the truth at how great it is and these folks are far more eloquent than I could ever be, so here is what I will say. You've probably got ONE CLICK enabled...you're in front of your computer right now (probably at work no doubt) and unless you've been in a coma for 40 years you know who Jeff Beck is so do yourself a favor buy Live at Ronnie Scott's RIGHT NOW! If you do, you will be thrilled and amazed beyond belief and if you don't...well... what's her/his name two cubicles over will NEVER go out with you because you are a musical knucklehead! So impress her /him with your good taste and your ears and eyes with Jeff and his band's astonishing performance.

I have been a fan of Jeff's since as long as I can remember. I was gigging as an electric guitarist for many years, and as time went on, the number of top electric guitarists I really enjoyed began to dwindle, until finally Beck was left standing almost alone at the pinnacle. He keeps reinventing himself, and that quality is rare, especially since many find it necessary to keep doing their safe expected material in order to keep the fans that allow them to make a living. I suppose that being a custom car builder has freed him from some of those pressures.
He manages to cover the entire spectrum of expression, from a quietly poignant melody all the way to a thunderous roar. After having heard his recordings for many years, I finally was lucky enough to catch him live here in the states one night. I consider it to be one of the greatest concerts of my entire life, and I've heard some good ones. He was on fire all night.
Much later, I remember seeing his Crossroads show performance on TV. It was very good, no surprise, but with the enormous crowd, he actually seemed a tiny bit nervous. And I remember seeing what seemed to be a very drunk Bill Murray introducing him to the audience, which was quite amusing. I was glad to have seen Jeff in a more relaxed setting.
I have many recordings of him, and have followed his every style change. It would be easy to become jaded. But as I listened to this recording, even though the material was all familiar, I was somehow re-stunned, and it brought back memories of that special show. After awhile, the image that came to mind was of him walking along carrying a huge bag of diamonds, just tossing handfuls of them to anyone that he saw. Glittering diamonds of creativity and sound.

You know that invigorating sense of cleansing & renewal you get after seeing a real great musical show? It's an indescribable feeling of elation and I hope you as a music fan reach this place as often as you can because it's a rarified treat for your soul. If you're in dire need of this sensation; of truly being impressed, cleansed & renewed, this Jeff Beck show will take you there, I promise...I have been an ardent fan of Jazz-Rock-Blues-Fusion since I was 13 years old and currently 44 with never a dull moment spent musically. What is witnessed herein may be the high water mark of all my dedicated years of fanship. The DVD is what you want to see; plain & simple. I hear the CD short changes some fun tunes that complete the esoteric musical journey. The DVD's the biggest bang for your buck and you can fold your friends and family into the mix with repeated viewing; It will likely be required. This is quite an eyebrow raising experience and it's not that it's just Jeff Beck, it's other worldly. That's all I can eek out at this moment in time because I'm still in absolute awe of what I just saw. Performing This Week-Live at Ronnie Scotts is suddenly that important of a scene. Be there, get it and marvel in it's impactful purity.

This doesn't have some of the vocals by guest artists as does the DVD. Pity. Blanket by Imogen Heep is the one of the reasons I purchased it.

Jeff beck is a musician...who happens to play guitar. He can make lyrical poetic passages that mean something...and also blistering fusion runs into the twilight zone. He is one of the very few who can use the whammy bar in a musical way. I'v always enjoyed his playing best when he has a musically compatible keyboardest, such as Jan Hammer or Max Middleton. His keyboardest on this CD, Jason Rebello is now on this shortlist. This CD is highly recommend.
