This gig was memorable for a number of reasons. It was my second date with my wife and one during which her handbag was stolen. So much for heroism and making a good impression but the reality was that we didn't know it had been stolen until Jeff had finished his encore.
The band was called either the Jeff Beck Group or Beck, Bogert, Appice - the situation was dynamic and the legalities convoluted. Nevertheless it was the combination of the former Vanilla Fudge rhythm section and Jeff Beck.
I have no recollection of the support and I can't name any of the tracks Jeff played. I do remember the gig as loud, exciting and with Jeff in typical virtuoso mood. Bogert and Appice were a storming rhythm section and the overall sound was dense and loud. The hall was small, the floor was sticky - this was definitely rock and roll.
