Movie Reviews of Performing This Week: Live at Ronnie Scott's [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: At Long Last
Summary: 5 Stars
It didn't take me long after reading that at long last Jeff Beck had released a DVD for me to order this. But it did take me a while to fully appreciate the rare musical treat that is Performing This Week: Live at Ronnie Scott's. For one thing, with nearly two and a half hours of music its hard to find time to enjoy it in one sitting. But now that the holidays are upon us, I have been able to give this the close attention it deserves.
I admit to having been a sometimey Jeff Beck fan. Actually, I hadn't heard anything new of his since his mid-seventies heyday but thought of albums like Blow By Blow and Wired with delight when this DVD appeared on my horizon. Since this has been reviewed to death and mostly positively, I am not going to analyze it but rather just put in my two cent's worth on what I like and do not like.
First you have to know that Beck's band is spectacular and his play seems particularly sharp. My favorite cuts here are: Beck's Bolero, Cause We've Ended As Lovers, Behind the Veil, Scatterbrain, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat/Brush With the Blues, Blanket, Big Block, an interesting A Day In the Life, and the Little Brown Bird duet with Eric Clapton. What don't I like? Well, I think People Get Ready has no place here and I did not particularly care for Rollin' and Tumblin'. Other than those two, this is a pretty mesmerizing set. As for the Beck interview, I have yet to see it so I cannot comment on it. I do note that there is value enough here without it so if you find it enjoyable, so much the better.
Though a lot of attention is focused on the young, attractive bass player Tal Wilkenfeld (who looks like Ginger Baker's daughter on the import cover of the Blind Faith album), special plaudits are due drummer Vinnie Colaiuta who did a yeoman's job. His work is just exquisite!
If you were a fan of Jeff Beck back in the day and have been wondering what happened to him, well here he is as sharp as ever. This DVD is accompanied by an attractive 8-page insert that features pictures, DVD info, and useful commentary on the concert. Get this soon, its a real value.
