Simply Irrepressible Jeff
Jeff's performance of "Brush with the Blues" is the best ever captured on record. This CD brings outstanding sound quality to an intimate live performance by our greatest living electric guitarist. To say that the guitar tone is outrageous would be an understatement - the instrument is literally speaking with a totally new voice, one that hasn't been heard on any of Jeff's previous recordings. If you're a Beck fan this is absolutely an indispensible addition to your library. I paid $40 for my copy - haven't been so satisfied with anything in years. If you're a musician, there's a lot to learn here. A tour de force.


Not Jeff Beck's best---live or otherwise
There are also problems with the sound balance in the club, and on the recording. While there are great bootleg recordings of great music (and there are many of Jeff Beck), this is an example of a bad one, that catches him in a less than stellar performance. Beck's playing is powerful, but ragged, raw, and loud, and he overplays on most of the numbers. I strongly encourage all except Jeff Beck completists to bypass this one, and grab the Official Bootleg CD instead, which captures an example of a perfect Jeff Beck concert. .


I wish I was there!
If you like Jeff Beck, Buy it!!. When I bought this CD it cost a hell of a lot less! It's Jeff Beck, what can you say, he's great, and he's in a league of his own.


Lacks the magic of Crossroads 07
After seeing that on DVD I would have expected more of the same on this live set. Beck's performance at the Crossroads festival 2007 was amazing. The Crossroads performance was a a great mix of guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. This album is all about Beck overplaying playing his guitar with little support from a backing band.


Oh, my!
"A Day in the Life" is a masterpiece! Beck makes the guitar sing and talk. If you love Beck or admire someone who is the very best in their genre, then you will absolutely love this album. And, he has so much power behind him. I just saw Beck in Chicago at the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Nothing could prepare me for his performance. It literally blew the audience away. The awesome power just hit you like a sledge hammer. This disc is worth the $$. .
