That was absolutely A W E S O M E .

JB has been one of my favorite guitar players and influences since around 1975. Such a unique and instantly recognizable style and many great original songs with Beck's Bolero being among the early ones. And he makes it look so easy... walking back and forth, looking around at his mates while playing impossible licks and seamlessly integrating the slide. What's also impressive is that he uses a fairly basic Fender Strat... no butique or fancy custom built thing with a million gadgets, no giant pedal board, he doesn't even use a pick (plectrum for you English bloaks)... just Jeff>guitar>amp. All the magic comes from his soul.

Yep, and you're right, he's in great shape compared to most of his contemporaries. He gets high on playing guitar and working on his hot rods. Beyond that he seems to live a quiet life.
