JIMI HENDRIX-HEY JOE

       
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe - My Beat Club
A popular American song from the early sixties who became a rock standard and most famous as the first single of The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966.  Often claimed to be a traditional song, the copyright of the song is registered to obscure American songwriter Billy Roberts. The inspiration for the Hendrix version is not really known. Either an acoustic version by American folk singer Tim Rose or the slow version of British beat band The Creation may be the main influence.  Without fail, the version by Jimi Hendrix and his Experience remains the best known recording of the song. See more live Marquee Club stuff with Jimi Hendrix playing “Purple Haze” and The Who performing “My Generation”!

BB KING-HEARTBREAKER

       
B.B. King - Heartbreaker - My Beat Club
B.B. King & Lucille – a man and his guitar!  B.B. King, born as Riley Ben King in 1925, is still one of the most influential blues guitarists of modern music – and also one of the most respected.  Kings musical career goes back to the 40s as he arrived for the first time in Memphis – with only poor results. But in the 50s he already became an important name in blues music with a large list of hits in the R&B charts. At the end of the 60s he also entered the pop charts with his songs (e.g. # 15 with “The Thrill Is Gone”).  He always named his trademark Gibson Guitars “Lucille” after an incident in the mid 50s: King saved his beloved acoustic guitar from a fire at a concert hall in Twist, Arkansas. Later he heard that two men got into a fight about a girl called Lucille and accidentally set fire to the hall. So he decided to give the girls name to his guitar to remind him never to do such crazy things – like go back into a burning building or fight over a woman.

FREE-ALL RIGHT NOW

       
Free - All Right Now - My Beat Club
Free, a British blues-rock band formed in 1968, is best known for their all time classic hit "All Right Now".  Lead singer Paul Rodgers went on to became the front man of Bad Company and has joined the remaining members of Queen as their new vocalist in 2004 - borrowing the vocals from late Freddie Mercury.  Sadly, the young guitarist Paul Kossoff died of drug related heart problems on a flight from New York to Los Angeles on March 19, 1976.

DEEP PURPLE-HIGHWAY STAR

       
Deep Purple - Highway Star - My Beat Club
Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple apply to be the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal.  Although the band went through many line-up changes - labelled Mark I to IV - the Beat Club performance shows the legendary second line-up with Ian Gillan's howling vocals, Ritchie Blackmore's fast guitar, Jon Lord's organ and the rhythm section of Roger Clover (bass) and Ian Paice (drums).
