Beck, Bogert and Appice – Live in Japan (1973) (@256)
08 Jan 2007
(Review from allmusic, progarchives)
Although the all-star power trio of guitarist Jeff Beck, bassist Tim Bogert, and drummer Carmine Appice discussed a potential collaboration as early as 1970, the project went on indefinite hiatus after Beck suffered a fractured skull in an automobile wreck. With the guitarist on the sidelines for well over a year, Bogert and Appice — who previously teamed in Vanilla Fudge — opted instead to form Cactus with singer Rusty Day and guitarist Jim McCarty, issuing a series of boogie rock LPs for Atlantic before dissolving. In the meantime, following his recovery Beck founded a new incarnation of his Jeff Beck Group, releasing a pair of albums before disbanding the project in 1972; with Bogert and Appice again available, the threesome immediately set to work on recording, issuing Beck, Bogert and Appice to solid sales in 1973. A much sought after live album was subsequently issued in Japan only.
This album was in par excellent with live albums by other classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin “The Song Remains The Same”, Deep Purple “Made In Japan”, Grand Funk “Live” and Humble Pie “Live at Fillmore”. They were all so rockin’!
Beck explores his range of technical capabilities in sliding his guitar. It’s marvelous. It’s not only Jeff Beck who rocked the audience during the the show in Japan. Tim Bogert also performed his tight and dynamic bass lines excellently while Carmine Appice not only providing beats for the rest musicians but he also played dynamically to create great grooves of the songs performed. Of course, the most legendary track is Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. But other tracks also excellent. “Jeff’s Boogie” and “Going Down” are also great favorite of all time.

This one has been deleted. Why not use one of the sites that automatically uploads to a few different file hosts, instead of just Rapidshare, which is a PIA anyway? :)

Many heartfelt thanks for this great album…it has to be in everyone’s collection.
Mac archive utility would not unzip it however…I noticed you had mentioned this problem in your FAQ…I used Stuffit Expander which worked perfectly so maybe that’s the answer for us MACS…never had a problem with the archive utility b4 though.
