MAESTRO: Jeff Beck - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 8-15-2018

 Jeff Beck - Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY, 8-15-2018

Paul notes: I am still in the middle of a month long vacation. During that vacation, I've been posting one album a day pretty consistently. But since today is the Fourth of July, 2026, here is a second post today to help celebrate the holiday. Last month, June 2026, I posted a Jeff Beck concert that took place in the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York, in 2016. This is a concert from that exact same venue, except it was on his next tour, in 2018.

Both this concert and the 2016 one are publicly available thanks to the big leak of soundboard concerts from this venue in April 2026. There are surprisingly few Jeff Beck concerts with soundboard quality from his long music career, so these two previously unknown recordings are very welcome. This was originally a single audio file in mono. I chopped it up into mp3's. 

Beck was known for being a great lead guitarist, not a lead vocalist. So for this concert tour, he brought back one of the two lead vocalist from his 2016 tour, Jimmy Hall. About half of the songs, here are sung by Hall, while the rest are instrumentals. In 2016, he was promoting a new studio album. But in 2018, he wasn't. So the songs are selections from all points in his long music career.

This album is an hour and 27 minutes long.

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.
