Replacing Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds in the 60s, it didn’t take UK guitar great Jeff Beck long to show that he too had something special to offer. A Man For All Seasons is 2 hour long documentary which retraces Beck’s steps from playing alongside Jimmy Page in the Yardbirds, to his time with Rod Stewart in The Jeff Beck Group, his ground-breaking solo albums such as Blow by Blow, and his most recent album ‘Emotion & Commotion’, which became his biggest selling recording. The doco features some amazing rare concert footage and interviews with those who know him well including former managers, fellow Yardbirds members, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty, music industry identity Pamela Des Barres, and assorted music scribes such as Charles Shaar Murray.
Jeff Beck has just released a new concert DVD, Live in Tokyo and has announced American tour dates for next year, some with ZZ Top.
A Man For All Seasons is available on DVD in February 2015. Here’s a sneak peek.
