Zint Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Jeff Beck is back — and crossing Canada this fall. The legendary guitar hero and multiple Grammy winner will play 11 shows in as many cities in October, beginning in Halifax and working his way to Vancouver, promoters have announced. See below for the full list of dates and shows. Tickets for all concerts except Montreal go on sale Friday June 24 at Ticketmaster. Tickets for the Montreal show go on sale Monday, June 27.

The 66-year-old former Yardbirds guitarist, whose recent albums include Emotion and Commotion and a live Les Paul tribute, has been working on a blues album with old pal Rod Stewart. For this tour, he will reportedly be backed by keyboardist Jason Rebello, bassist Rhonda Smith and drummer Narada Michael Walden.

Powerage5 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's dirt cheap for Beck; I paid $125 last year and $85 this year, both seats were in the nosebleeds. Wish I could make it up, but Canada isn't possible during the semester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Also bigger venues than he normally plays. Usually he's playing club size venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Tickets are gotten, cannot wait. This is the one guy I wanna see live, more than Page, Clapton, Vai, Satch or a revived Hendrix or SRV.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Also bigger venues than he normally plays. Usually he's playing club size venues.Where do you see him? I've always seen him in theaters, and they've always been sold out or close to it. Last year, he sold out 2 shows in one night at the Eastman Theater in Rochester (4,000 capacity).Tickets are gotten, cannot wait. This is the one guy I wanna see live, more than Page, Clapton, Vai, Satch or a revived Hendrix or SRV....You're sure to enjoy it, he's really great live!

moreblack Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Saw him in 99 at the start of his techno phase (Who Else? tour). It's been too long, I was still young and not all that up on his stuff other than the Yardbirds. That was an eye opening experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 i never knew you liked Jeff Beck, Zint. In fact i always thought you were kinda indifferent to him. I remember asking you if you'd heard the song Becks Bolero off his Truth album cuz Keith Moons on it and i wanted to know if it was worth buying and you told me you didn't think they were all that. Or was that Cream or Eric Clapton? Actually, i don't have a proper memory of it so i'm just gonna stop typing now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
