"Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers" / "Behind The Veil"
Jeff Beck · Live at Ronnie Scott’s · November, 2007
Rick Beato takes a look a the unique guitar technique of Jeff Beck. "He's one of one," is the conclusion. There ain't no copies. No one else comes close to his sound.
Here are a couple of complete versions of "Cause We've Ended As Lovers". The first is the one reviewed by Rick Beato (above), and the second is from the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival.
Very unique, sort of a Jimi Hendrix sound. Clapton is great too.
Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - So Far Away
^ Tasteful.
Stuff like this is the reason I like checking out the posts here. I frequently get introduced to music I have not heard, and likely would not have discovered on my own. Great pick.
Glad you enjoyed it. Any day I can turn someone on to some new music is a good day.
That song is from 2005 and there is a lot of good music Riverside released between then and now. I recommend “Lost n Found - Live in Tillburg” as it has some awesome live versions of all their good stuff. Unfortunately their guitarist, Piotr Grudziński, died in 2016 and although they have soldiered on with a replacement, for me it just isn’t quite the same. However their singer and main songwriter Mariusz Duda has a side project called Lunatic Soul and he has been releasing similar new music for the last 10 years or so. Here is one of their songs, with a totally appropriate title:
Lunatic Soul - Walking on a Flashlight Beam

"Yer Blues" by the Dirty Mac
Featuring John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards & Mitch Mitchell
The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus was a concert staged by the Rolling Stones on December 11th and 12th, 1968. Along with the Stones, it featured some of Britain's most popular bands at the time, including Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, and John Lennon's Dirty Mac. The whole thing was filmed, in anticipation that it would be released as a TV special, but the Stones shelved the project, believing their performance had been subpar. Finally, in 1996, the concert was released on CD and DVD.
One of my favorite parts of the show was The Dirty Mac, a one-off supergroup assembled by John Lennon. It featured Eric Clapton (fresh off the breakup of Cream), Keith Richards (on bass!), and drummer Mitch Mitchell (from the Jimi Hendrix Experience). All turned in superb performances.
Lennon showed that he can rock as hard as anyone, as the band romped through this rendition of "Yer Blues."

NorthernHarrier, you are right.
classical is best by far.
although i post contemporary,
country, and others…classical wins.
sooo….how about Halloween Country?
turkeydance: I’ve learned to appreciate a lot more classical music than I used to, by listening to more of it. And there’s so much more out there to sample. I post here some works I like that I think some other people with open minds (like yourself) might like also. I have been impressed by a wide variety of classical music, from J.S. Bach to Gyorgy Ligeti. I’ll try to post links to more classical music.
Ghost Riders In The Sky is a classic I remember from my childhood. It seems to keep coming back. I remember hearing the original by Stan Jones (1948), when I was a kid in the 60’s, as well as several others that made the charts - including one by Johnny Cash. I know I can always count on you to post links to good stuff.
