内容介绍：

　　英国结他鬼才Jeff Beck，不经不觉64岁了。暂时来说，他在结他史上写下最经典的一章，可算是六十年代跟Eric Clapton、Jimmy Page一同在The Yardbirds里「三支结他同台」的岁月。时至现在，「Slow Hand」Eric Clapton不论在流行曲/蓝调界中亦见有成就，Jimmy Page在Led Zeppelin同样於摇滚界中变成殿堂级人马。那么Jeff Beck呢？他真的怀才不遇？还是他太过坚持？

　　记得在马田史高西斯领军的《Blues》系列中，Jeff Beck受访时说：「我不想我的结他声太过有性格/风格，我希望，听眾别要立刻听得出是结他弹奏的，更不希望听得出是我弹奏的结他。」这人，究竟怎么搞的？

　　不过，若然大家能细听Jeff Beck这张最新推出的现场录音专辑，也许就会明白这位结他天才真正在想甚么。曲目上，的确没有甚么新鲜感可言，来来去去也是〈Where Were You〉、〈Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers〉、〈Goodbye Pork Pie Hat〉这几首近乎是饮歌。但这次演出的组合为Vinnie Colaiuta（鼓）、Jason Rebello（键琴）及天才少女Tal Wilkenfeld（低音结他），感觉上就跟上一张现场专辑《Live At BB King Blues Club》截然不同，证实了Jeff Beck真的没有强行要摆出一种甚么姿态/味道，而是他能够随著环境而调节他的musical touch的。

　　弹奏上，Jeff Beck的功力已然无可挑剔，而自从他弃用结他pick以后，你更能感受到他对乐器的操控及触感、情感之炉火纯青：配合震臂的vibrato拉音、手指跟结他线所制造出的percussive harmonics等等，带出一点不寻常的violin tone。所以，你说他真的没有风格？其实是有的。另外，Jeff Beck教人最欣赏的地方，是他绝对要所有同台乐手一起跟他分享这个音乐空间；他可以把〈Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers〉最催泪的地方让了给Tal Wilkenfeld作低音结他独奏、可以让别人分担The Beatles名作〈A Day In The Life〉内的一呼一应，而你听这张专辑，简直是一个绝对融和的音乐体验，不如一般高技巧派结他手，只在肆意去卖弄技术，毫无音乐鉴听感可言。

　　看著这张唱片的封面，也让人有点感慨，人家可以用「Live At Ronnie Scott’s」、「Live At Blue Note NY」、「Live At Royal Albert Hall」……我们呢？香港呢？Live At大会堂演奏厅？香港红磡体育馆？葵青剧院？好像没有很好的气势，也不像人家极希望到来演出的地方。殖民地身份前后，这片土地不断经历著「借来」的矛盾，究竟，何时才能有真正属於我们的代表作？
