So sad to hear the news, Beck's version of Hi Ho Silver Lining always seemed to be the penultimate track played at TOTS before we got chucked out to the refrain of New York New York.

I saw a documentary on Beck on BBC4 in 2018? and was fascinated by his playing style and story. I booked a ticket for his 2020 tour and I finally got to see him in 2022 after the pandemic.

He was an amazing guitarist, one of the best I have ever seen live.

Haven't we usually called time and opened a new thread by now? Doesn't look as if @The Big Shrimp is coming back to this, is anyone able to take it on?

Heart full of soul: the maverick genius of Jeff Beck, the ‘guitarist’s guitarist’ | Alexis Petridis

He began with bubblegum pop in the Yardbirds, then moved on to psychedelia, funk, jazz fusion, even techno – but no matter what the genre, Beck was always ahead of the curve
