Jeff Beck - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 7-19-2016

Paul says: Whilst he prepares to go on holidays! : "For some reason, I’ve noticed that there aren’t many Jeff Beck concert recordings with really excellent sound quality. So I was especially pleased to see that when there was a big leak of soundboard recordings from the Capitol Theater in Port Chester back in April 2026, two of those are Jeff Beck concerts. Here is the first one I’m posting.

This concert was part of a tour to support his 2016 studio album “Loud Hailer.” It got good reviews, but the sales were disappointing. A lot of the songs on the album had vocals. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a song called The Ballad of the Jersey Wives,” which was performed in this concert, concerns the widows of the 9/11 victims and their search to find out what really happened in the events related to that terror attack. I didn’t know Beck wrote or cowrote those kinds of songs.

Some of the songs performed in the concert or instrumentals. Other others are sung by vocalist Rosie Bones, And still, others are sung by vocalist Jimmy Hall. You can see which is which in the song list.

A friend of musical associate Lil Panda was the one who split a single audio file into separate songs. I made a little change of boosting the volume of the applause between songs. That was too low, as is often the case with soundboard recordings. 

You sound quality is excellent. But note that the recording is mono, not stereo, just like virtually all the others from the Port Chester leak. "

This album is an hour and 23 minutes long.
