JEFF BECK & A 22 Piece Orchestra At The Nokia Theatre, Saturday, April 17th!
April 9, 2010
AEG Live and Goldenvoice present, as “Mr. 80′s” Julian Douglas, is proud to welcome to Southern California at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, a true legend in concert this spring on Saturday, April 17th, 2010, JEFF BECK featuring the 22 Piece Orchestra.
Jeff Beck, calling him a legend is almost an understatement, he’s a five-time Grammy Award winner, recent inductee to the Rock ’N Roll Hall of Fame and was a member of The Yardbirds, The Honeydrippers and The Jeff Beck Group. He was ranked 14th in Rolling Stone Magazine‘s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” with Rolling Stone describing him as “one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock”.
A rare breed of guitarist like Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix, Beck is not only compelling for what he plays, but for how he plays it. While some guitar players use racks of gear to create sound, Beck prefers a simple, natural approach that emphasizes manual dexterity over gadgets. As Eric Clapton once said, “With Jeff, it’s all in his hands.”
Like few guitarists before him, Beck plays the entire guitar. Using his fingers instead of a guitar pick for greater speed and control over the fretboard, Beck adds deft twists of the volume and tone knobs to shape the notes as he’s playing them and further bends sounds into a rubbery tangle with his controlled cruelty on the whammy bar.
Now here’s your chance to see him not only live in concert, but backed by a 22 piece orchestra, bringing the sound of his years of music into a realm of it’s own.
With Very Special Guests: ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA 2010 featuring Dweezil Zappa performing the greatest hits of Frank Zappa.
