Exactly why Jeff is one of my all time favourite players. He's always pushing the boundaries of his ability and what a guitar is capable of, and sometimes falls right over the edge into a huge wreck, but more often than not comes out with something absolutely beautiful.

I'd rather watch Jeff go horribly wrong than most players play perfectly - he says more with his mistakes than most guitarists achieve in a lifetime. :lol:

If you get a chance to see him "live" - go for it - you won't regret it. :wink:

Here's an obscure video: Jeff Beck and Joss Stone performing "Little Wing". Great version of this song!

:D Ha - that is great, thank you for posting! Man, I'd love to hear a recording of that number (and the whole evening for that matter) preferably taken off the desk rather than some guy's phone.

BTW: I know Mama Stones club. It's run by Joss Stone's mother, unsurprisingly. Tiny little place in a small town - but they manage to pull in some amazing names, now and again. I guess it's all about "who ya know"...

Cheers - C
