Jeff Beck

It was 1977 when Jeff Beck made his first and only trip to Australia, 32 long years ago for his legion of fans.

Finally, in 2009 guitar legend Jeff Beck returns for a series of rare and very special performances.

Described by Rolling Stone as "one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock, Jeff Beck has helped shape blues rock, psychedelia, and heavy metal", the magazine ranked Beck 14 in a poll of '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time'.

More recently Jeff Beck played to over 30,000 people at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago, on the bill with the likes of BB King, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy and Clapton himself.

Earlier this year in London, 64 year-old Beck was awarded the Blues Artist of the Year Award, and has been nominated for 2009 induction into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame as a solo artist.

Touring with Jeff Beck is a stellar line-up: Vinnie Colaiuta - (drums) Tal Wilkenfeld - (bass) David Sancious - (keyboards)
