Jeff Beck Wows Louisville Palace

The Louisville Palace was the center of the music universe last night as two time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member (Yardbirds in 1992 and Solo artist in 2009), Jeff Beck and his talented band covered the entire spectrum of the musical world in roughly 90 minutes.
From the opening notes of “Plan B”, Beck demonstrated why he is rated 14th in Rolling Stone Magazines ”Top 100 All Time Guitarists”. After this brilliant performance, its time to reevaluate the list. Jeff Beck is among the very top guitar players of all time.
His musical style and humble attitude have kept him out of the spotlight of mainstream music, but there is no denying his mastery of guitar and his ability to dominate any style of music.
The show covers nearly every genre, blues-rock, jazz fusion, hard rock, electronica, progressive rock, and classical. Beck lets his guitar do most of the singing with an instrumental show fueled by his incredible band showcasing Rhonda Smith’s thundering bass , Jason Rebello’s keyboards and Nathan Michael Walden’s power driven drums.
Smith’s vocals on Sly Stone’s, “ I Want to Take You Higher” and Walden’s singing on a classic version of “Little Wing” were about all the vocals needed as the high powered music machine led by Beck wizardry captivated the audience through out the performance.
The “guitar players guitarist” left his mark on the nearly full venue. “Wow” was the common word used in conversation as fans filed out. It’s still early in 2011 but Jeff Beck just set the bar high and will be one of the best performances of he year.

The Wanee Festival 2011 Review
The Wanee Festival 2011
What started as dream of the Allman Brothers Band to have a ” festival featuring the band and their many side projects “, has become the south’s most important music festival of the year. With the help of Live Nation, the past three years, the seventh annual Wanee Music Festival held at Spirit of Suwanee Music Park, in Live Oak Florida, the festival has grown to an estimated 30,000 fans camping and enjoying the beautiful park and the great North Florida Spring weather.
The Wanee Festival added an extra day of music and a stellar lineup of musicians to the 2011 edition of the show. This years show made it a difficult choice of what band to pick between or leave before the show finished in order to see another show.
The festival kicked off the Wednesday at 1:45 and went well into the night featuring legendary New Orleans band, The Radiators, who are ending their thirty three years of music in June. They were followed by Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk who included a tribute to James Brown in their late night set.
Thursday began the first full day of music, afternoon shows by Wanda Jackson, North Mississippi Allstars Duo of Luther and Cody Dickinson, and Blues Traveler’s John Popper who not only played an outstanding set with his new band, The Duskray Troubadours but also made appearances with D.J. Logic and Devon Allman’s Honeytribe.
Stephen Marley and a classic set by Hot Tuna fueled the fans for Widespread Panic’s blistering performance to finish the Peach Stage for the evening. Lotus followed with an excellent set at the Mushroom stage.
Thursday’s performances set the bar high and festival goers worn down but when Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings took the stage, the energy level rose and after Keller Williams finished his set around 4:30.The anticipation of discovering Warren Haynes new project The Warren Haynes Band filled the Peach Stage to see what the guitar legend had in store. Haynes delivered with a mixture of soul , r&B and rock filled with excellent guitar , horns and vocals.
Led Zeppelin front man ,Robert Plant brought his Band of Joy to the stage next and left the Wanee Festival on its heels mixing new versions of Black Dog, and six other Zep songs with music from his past two albums.
At 9:30, The Allman Brothers Band opened with “Hot Lanta” and never looked back. It was a classic show filled with the blistering dueling guitars of Haynes and Derek Trucks and strong vocals from Greg Allman. The band was a music machine, honed to perfection from their April Beacon Theater run in New York City. The band ended the first night with “One Way Out” joined by the guitar of Luther Dickinson and Roosevelt Collier on peddle steel guitar.
Rain began the day Saturday, as the exhausted campers wondered out loud how could the music get any better? When the rain ended and the sun came out and Guitar Shorty blazed through his early set it became evident that great music was far from over. Taj Mahal , Ween and Rusted Root all played brilliantly.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band , a newly formed combination of Allman phenom Guitarist, Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedechi performed the most incredible set of music of the festival. The talent of this band is endless and their new music energized the packed venue for the night ahead.
The Steve Miller Band kept the music flowing playing his catalogue of rock hits beginning with “Jet Airliner” and including “The Joker”, “Abracadabra”, and ending with “Keep on Rockin”. The talented guitarist was a crowd favorite who had people dancing and singing through out the set.
The Allman Brothers end the evening doing what they do best, playing from their catalogue of 40 plus years at a fever pitched pace. They are perfectly in sync on every note. Greg Allman, one of the best all time blues voices was as strong as ever. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both considered top guitarists in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 100 all time greatest guitarists poll. The wall of sound formed by drummers and bass form a well oiled music machine carrying you with them through every musical twist and turn.
Inviting guest musicians to sit in is expected with the Allmans, this night they were joined by Taj Mahal on “Leavin’ Trunk” and “Statesboro Blues”.
Wanee Festival has become bigger and better every year. The venue is the most beautiful of all festivals and very manageable. The Spirit of Swanee Park is set up for camping unlike most festival sites. The audience is a more mature age. The lineups are well know experience bands who seem to enjoy interacting with the other musicians. The Wanee Festival has become a can’t miss festival. One of the top festivals in the nation.

“THE DAY” FIRST SINGLE FROM DESTROYED OUT NOW REMIXES OUT MAY 10th
April 15, 2011 New York, NY MOBY OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “THE DAY” PREMIERES NEXT WEEK FEATURES HEATHER GRAHAM WITH SAATCHI & SAATCHI AND VIMEO Moby announces the release of a new single, “The Day”, taken from his upcoming new studio album,Destroyed being released May 17th. Available now from all digital service providers, “The Day” is followed by the full remix bundle on May 10th, which includes the original album track and remixes from Lifelike, Basto, Gesaffelstein, Eddie Thoneick and Funkerman. “The Day” was written in a hotel room in Spain at dawn when I hadn’t slept. It was a beautiful hotel room, a beautiful perfect hotel room and it was six or seven in the morning. I wrote it on a acoustic guitar and recorded it on my phone, brought it home and re-recorded it with old broken down electronics that I have in my studio”. – Moby “The Day” was indirectly inspired by David Bowie and Brian Eno’s production which Moby believes is now part of his DNA; growing up, Moby had Low and Heroes spinning constantly on his turntable. One of the few tracks from Destroyed that Moby sings on, “The Day” is a deeply personal song about late night desperation and dark night of the soul feelings usually associated with some terrible addiction; these themes are woven throughout the journey that his new album takes us on. The official music video for “The Day” will premiere next week. The video, directed by Evan Bernard (Moby, Beastie Boys, Green Day), takes place in a hospital and features the actress Heather Graham as a nurse and guardian angel. In support of young filmmakers, Moby is partnering with Saatchi & Saatchi and Vimeo on an exciting new video challenge as part of The 21st Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2011 happening June 19th – 25th. The theme of this year’s New Directors’ Showcase is “Hello, Future” in which directors across the world are invited to visualize the concept of “Hello, Future” in the form of a standout music video inspired by one of the three tracks selected from Moby’s new album, Destroyed, which are “Be The One”, “The Day”, and “After”. The winner will be announced at this year’s Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase in Cannes on June 23rd as well as on the Vimeo website. For entry guidelines and information on how to submit videos to the competition go to: www.moby.comor www.vimeo.com/saatchiandsaatchi. Closing date for submissions is May 9th 2011 at 11.59 GMT. Also titled Destroyed and set for release on May 17th is a book of photography by Moby. The book takes us behind the scenes on an international journey with Moby, introducing us to the strange and disconcerting life of touring that is often not exposed; the time spent isolated in anonymous, mundane spaces like hotel rooms, airports, and backstage waiting areas. These experiences are juxtaposed with moments and places of intense beauty in the world and the excitement and connection with audiences. From the absurdly empty to the absurdly full, Moby captures the universal situation that so many musicians and artists undergo living nomadic lives. The combination of the album and book of photography, created while touring, provides an intimate look at Moby’s world and his creative process. Tracklisting: 1. The Day – Album Version 2. The Day – Radio Edit 3. The Day – Gessaffelstein Remix 4. The Day – Lifelike Remix 5. The Day – Funkerman Remix 6. The Day – Basto! Remix 7. The Day – Uhlenhorst Remix |
