Jeff Beck: Live Wired Beck
Chris Charlesworth, Melody Maker, 11 September 1976
OF ALL the guitar heroes to emerge from the British blues boom of the mid-Sixties, Jeff Beck has been the most slippery to follow. There isn't a rock guitarist alive who doesn't roll eyeballs at mention of Beck, yet the man himself has been content to take a relative back seat in the fame and fortune stakes of rock in the Seventies.
