Jeff Beck is op deze cd/dvd in absolute topvorm.
Nu ben ik niet helemaal objectief want ik koop ALLES van deze man, maar goed ik zou zeggen luister zelf.
Leuk om te lezen! Ik heb de cd een paar weken geleden gekocht en inmiddels alweer 80 keer geluisterd. Ik kan ook niets anders dan lof voor deze man opbrengen. Nu nog eventjes wachten op de dvd. Very nice! =)
Buitenaards!
