Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Live
Posted : July 23rd, 2008 by toyzJeff Beck and Stevie ! – this is from their tour in 1986/7 thru the USA which I was lucky enough to see at Madison Square Garden. Beck opened, Stevie came on next and then they came out and did “Goin Down” as the encore. They both where great but the one thing I remember was how incredible Dale Bozzio was on drums, what a power drummer. You can’t see any guitar amps, effects, or pedals so I don’t know what they where using on that tour ? Comments ? Click on picture to watch video.
