My all time favorite guitarist. The greatest concert I ever saw was at the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley in 1980. I really only knew his current album (There and Back), so there were a lot of songs I wasn’t familiar with. No matter. They were indelible. I started buying all of his old albums and went on a musical journey.
“Blow by Blow” is still a landmark album.
I am saddened but nostalgic and grateful.
Thank you Mr. Beck. Godspeed.
