[net.music] Beck and Stewart

epb@inuxa.UUCP (E Bagnall) (06/14/84)

I recently heard that Jeff Beck plays on the new Rod Stewart song
on the radio "Infatuation".  Is Beck on other tracks of Stewarts
new album (Does he have one?).  Is Beck touring with Stewart?

Apparently, yes and yes.  And to think I used to have some respect
for Jeff Beck.  I know Stewart "sang" in the original Jeff Beck group,
but seriously...

With regard to the ARMS concerts that everyone was discussing a few weeks
ago (that aired on MTV, with Clapton, Beck, Page, Winwood, Watts, Wyman,
Kenney Jones, Chris Stainton, et al).  Clapton had stated that if Rod
Stewart made a special "guest star" appearance at any ARMS concert, he (and
apparently several others) would have promptly walked off the stage.  Seems
that they felt it would be more than just ironic for Stewart to cash in on
the concerts for his own publicity, especially after his treatment of
Ronnie Lane (for whom the concerts had been organized) at the time of
the Faces breakup.  (WARNING!  Opinion follows:  What does Rod Stewart have
to do with music?  He's an entertainer; no more, no less.)

Yes, Jeff Beck will be touring with Rod Stewart, not as a back-up band, but
as lead quitarist.  Beck will also get a fair amount of time for his
songs.  Hopefully, Rod and Jeff will do some songs from the old days
when Stewart was the singer for the Jeff Beck Group.
