Jeff Beck never had a signature song the way his peers did, but the genres he explored throughout his career — from British Invasion pop to blues-rock to fusion and beyond — chart the changes in rock over decades

I think there are two disturbing trends in the concert business. 1: This baffling trend of "fans" throwing objects such as phones, drinks, etc at artists onstage. 2: Equally disturbing is the blatant use of tracks by artist at "live" shows. An outright fleecing of real fans.
