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? epb

> 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.) -- This unit humbly and deeply apologizes for having and expressing opinions.

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. Bob Schleicher ihuxk!rs55611 AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville, Ill.
