Jeff beck group truth rar

Truly breathtaking. It's another winning performance where one can truly appreciate the nuances of Beck's tone, touch and technique. Possibly as homage to the hippiedom of San Francisco, Beck closes the set with the rarely performed single, "Hi Ho Silver Lining," taking on the lead vocal himself. This obscure single was as close as Beck ever went toward pure pop psychedelia. With Stewart helping out on the sing-a-long chorus, and demented guitar solos galore, this performance smokes the original single in every possible way.

Beck thanks the Fillmore audience, announces that Moby Grape is up next and the band exits the stage to a well deserved ovation.

Time has muted some of its daring, radical nature, elements of which were appropriated by practically every metal band and most arena rock bands that followed. Truth was almost as groundbreaking and influential a record as the first Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Who albums. Its attributes weren't all new -- Cream and Jimi Hendrix had been moving in similar directions -- but the combination was: the wailing, heart-stoppingly dramatic vocalizing by Rod Stewart, the thunderous rhythm section of Ron Wood's bass and Mickey Waller's drums, and Beck's blistering lead guitar, which sounds like his amp is turned up to 13 and ready to short out.

Beck opens the proceedings in a strikingly bold manner, using his old Yardbirds hit "Shapes of Things" as a jumping-off point, deliberately rebuilding the song from the ground up so it sounds closer to Howlin' Wolf. There are lots of unexpected moments on this record: a bone-pounding version of Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me"; a version of Jerome Kern's "Ol' Man River" done as a slow electric blues; a brief plunge into folk territory with a solo acoustic guitar version of "Greensleeves" which was intended as filler but audiences loved ; the progressive blues of "Beck's Bolero"; the extended live "Blues Deluxe"; and "I Ain't Superstitious," a blazing reworking of another Willie Dixon song.

I was surprised with the quality of the recording itself. No drop in the volume of my stereo sound after playing White Rabbit The Damneds version. I think the album will grow on me some more. Great to hear early music and vocals by some great players. Will play album again, tomorrow.
