His first mini-UK-tour since 2018
Tickets start at £183! but most of stalls are £63
As at this moment I estimate that only 20% are left in the stalls. The seats are going as I view the screen.
Booked my seat. I think I am right behind TLG who is in the £183 seats. :hehe:
Hope he ain't wearing his stetson
One of the greatest guitarists of all time
But I wouldnt pay those sort of prices if he was playing in my back garden
Complete rip off , the greedy old git
You wouldn't pay £63 to sit within 10 yards of Jeff Beck for his set?Quote:

You can't really be a fan.
Doubt he'll ever play Cardiff again - so prolly never to be repeated chance to see/hear a master of his instrument.
85% of tickets in stalls gone now - and the tickets aren't on general release.
I think flash is a great album , hes a great guitarist but I am not a hardcore fanQuote:

If TOOL tour again I would pay to watch them but if the only seats were say 90 quid I wouldnt bother
Don't get me wrong.
I agree stupid prices are being asked.
I said 'No' to Joe Bonamassa this year, having paid £90 -£100 for his last two gigs. Love his music, but that was salty.
Also, declined Beth Hart this year having seen her in 2019 and didn't like her set, nor the acoustic band who supported her.
But I don't begrudge £63 for Beck, nor the £90 I paid to see Purple. These were one-off chances to see guys I reverence.
Just hope he don't come out on a mobility scooter.
I know what you mean his guitar playing on flash with rod Stewart on vocals on people get ready theres a train a coming is sublimeQuote:

TOOL I love but I am not sure I would pay big money to see them again , I saw them in 2006 at the CIA and it was sixty quid then !
Things like the download festival or Glastonbury are like a short holiday and you dont mind paying a whack for that , although I dont do festivals anymore but a one off show for close on 100 quid ? Its pushing it a bit , and my days of all day concerts with a big headliner , like sabbath in 98 are long gone , I am too knackered by the time the main band comes on
Can't quite get my ahead around that line.Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing him again though but not at those prices.
I love led zeppelin but page learnt his art from jeff beck , cant think of another more influential british rock guitarist , steve Hackett, Richard Thompson on the folk side I suppose
The email I had from SDH said tickets don't go on sale until 10am tomorrow. I was waiting until then to look.
[edit] It was a facebook post I saw that said that. If I'd been in the club and had an email then I could have booked early. I'll just have to wait and see what is left tomorrow
loved this album
great guitarist and writer

He's one of the greats that I haven't see live. I've see Clapton and Page so I really want to add him to the list. I just hope there are tickets left at 10am tomorrow.Quote:

Why don't you try joining the mailing list and see if you can get in that way. Don't know if that'll work but it's worth a punt.
I saw Beck Bogart and Appice at the
Colston hall.That will do for me.
Carmen Appice the sometime sabbath session drummer ?Quote:

I see Beck will have a day off before the gig, so hope he'll be on form
