Jeff Beck - Get Down In The Dirt - Live 1974 BBC TV (no ads 👍)

[@fusionfan6883]

For all those asking the drummer is James Copley, and the band backing Jeff here was called Upp. Jeff liked them so much he produced their first album and played on some of the tracks. Stephen Perfect on bass was super funky too. James had a long session career after the band.

[@derkommissar785]

Upp opened for beck/Jan hammer's US tour

[@guyfawkes578]

Gee, I sure am glad you had this information... as did the uploader... as it was noted in video.

[@fusionfan6883]

@ Are you being sarcastic?

[@totallyunmemorable]

My thoughts exactly, who are those guys? Great rhythm section. And it's pretty tough to be funky on bass with a pick.

[@karlsinclair9918]

The Upp albums are good in my opinion.

[@robsue]

A lot of those licks ended up on Blow by blow a year later

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

Sounds a lot like the "Blow by Blow" "Wired" era for sure.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

@@peteywheatstraws4909 My two favourite albums from Jeff.

[@billyshane3804]

There's Beck before Billy Cobham's Spectrum and Beck after. Thank you Tommy Bolin.

[@fusionfan6883]

Spot on🤘🏻

[@BiggeDiehl]

Oh please - Tommy wasn’t his inspiration, John McLaughlin and Jan Hammer were much more influential in his progression. And Jeff took it in his own direction after that.

[@fusionfan6883]

@ Firstly no need to be snarky. Secondly Jeff credited hearing Bolin on Spectrum with giving him a new direction. Previously he had been struggling to find a route out of blues based proto rock. Yes of course he was an admirer of McLaughlin and they often appeared on stage together, and of course Jan was a big influence too because of his guitaristic synthesiser work, but Bolin was most definitely a huge influence on Jeff’s move into fusion. And it is no coincidence that Jeff and Tommy were on tour together when Tommy passed, they had huge respect for each other.

[@freakybeaky1]

@@fusionfan6883 I didn’t realise JB was still doing Spectrum live as a tribute until recently. One of those other worldly talents until things it went too far for TB. I seem to never tire of Homeward Strut. It’s so cool… and yet unpretentious sounding.

Maybe the one on the cover of Blow by Blow?

Simply amazing, pick or no pick. Today's so called music scene leaves me yearning for the old days more than ever!! RIP JEFF🕊🕊🕊

[@madcyril4135]

From u.k. More imagination in his little finger! Than god has in his whole body!

[@fancykarlmarx]

Expand your horizons, amazing bands/music never went away, you just stopped looking for it. It won’t be on the radio like the good stuff was in the 70s.

[@madcyril4135]

@wyrmwoodstudios If you are referring to me. I ditched rock late 70s got into jazz fusion. Don’t listen to much these days. No time to explore newer music.

[@c3N3q]

You know nothing about today's music scene. I could give you a list of today's artists and bands whose technique and usage of advanced music theory would make your jaw drop. But they don't play that on British Bullshiting Corporation radio. That is mainstream pop💩, as true as their news reports from what is happening in the world. All paid by the big companies, all about money and control. And who cares that they are run by p3d0philes... Anyway, your nostalgic cry is not validated.

[@madcyril4135]

@wyrmwoodstudios Oh! I’m so glad! 🥴

[@waltersmetak]

One hell of a band with one of the best guitarists to ever exist! Absolutely brilliant!

[@BassistPaul]

Beck's playing goes without saying as sublime, but great bass playing with a pick, too, and drumming. All world class - and probably unknown to most people!

[@johnwattdotca]

It's nice to see Jeff getting into some mild jazz funk, when George Benson set the stage.

[@mikerigatos2939]

Jeff Beck is the godfather of fusion.

[@johnwattdotca]

@@mikerigatos2939 Jeff Beck came out of the English pop scene, and while he set standards for recording and progressed with his own playing the fusion scene in the States was already happening.

I f I could play half as great as Jeff, I would consider myself a master on guitar. The man was a genius. He had the best of the best musicians with him at all times.

[@philmanson2991]

The Oxblood is going up for sale next month in the UK. I'm betting it'll go for near seven figures.

[@Johngonefishin]

Along with the 59' standard he used on Truth.

Priceless instruments, never to sound the same.

[@argafro]

Beck is a master of his own style ofcourse. But can we talk about the bass player? Damn those lines are dirty as heck!

[@billyz5088]

1974 and the late, great JB had 'Blow by Blow' on his mind ..

[@jameshaydel8262]

You can buy that guitar at Christie's auction in January. Maybe $500,000.

[@dwaynepeterson3927]

What a wonderful thing to watch, listen, and feel on Saturday morning!

[@jamesscura7122]

There simply was anyone close. If you have seen him live, no explanation required.

[@Passion535]

"LIVE 1974"? You can hear his brilliance even then. He was a teacher, and he didn't even know it!!

[@darwinsaye]

Jeff was acclaimed for his brilliance even before 1974. As far back as the late 60s he was acknowledged as one of the greats.

[@gabbleratchet1890]

He was almost a decade into his career at that point. He joined the Yardbirds in 1965.

[@tooManywaystoFall]

we all miss you Jeff...

[@wildbillfirehands]

Oh my... some high skill throughout that group. Beck was awesome. Music still stands.

[@MELONenSURPRISE]

Almost open shirt a thingy around his neck & a bluesy guitar solo ...😂...the only excuse would be ...well there was no airconditioning and it was August...🎉

It took me until the end to discover that the fuzzy sound was the Moog and not the guitar with a fuzz pedal ! the bassist really deservers 'amazing' in his name !

[@Notes-From-Underground66]

Jeff Beck produced UPP’s first two albums; I have both of them. This song is a vocal track on the first album. Jeff still plays on the album version. You can down load both records from the Apple Music Store. If you like what you hear on this video I strongly recommend you purchase both records. UPP was a hidden gem of a band in the jazz/rock fusion genre.

[@nuArk-eq9mq]

Great, pure gem
