Jeff Beck is so good. Rip
At the time a slight letdown after Blow By Blow & Wired but still a good album.
Yeah but the tunes with Jan Hammer (he played drums on Star Cycle) are super Jan Hammer funky ("You Never Know" is classic Hammer with Phillips channeling Billy Cobham, and if Hammer was on the track of "Space Boogie" instead of of Tony Hymas, not to bag on Hymas, but "Quadrant 4"). Jan Hammer never get's the credit he deserves, even though he personified the 80's in synths at the same time as Herbie Hancock did with "Rockit". Hammer is so unique, Jeff Beck wanted to play with him before Blow by Blow, and then got him for Wired. Beck wanted Mahavishnu, and nobody gives as much credit for Mahavishnu for Hammer as the do for McGlaughlin and Cobham.
I saw that Wired Tour with Jan Hammer in NYC, the one that they recorded for the live album. My first Jeff Beck show.
The ‘77 Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live is really good.
Love this album.
