16 h, sep 20, 2019 y - Johnny Depp JEFF BECK LIVE Crossroads Guitar Festival, Dallas
Description:
FROM GLIDE MAGAZINE:As a few musicians started playing onstage, a screaming guitar could be heard off in the wings. Bill Murray introduced two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and eight-time Grammy winner Jeff Beck. Murray exited as Beck came out and proceeded to show the audience why he deserved the closing set. He played a few intense instrumentals including “Led Boots.”
The biggest surprise of the night was when Johnny Depp walked out with a guitar to join Beck’s band. The famous actor added “rock star” to his resume in 2015 when he and Alice Cooper formed the Hollywood Vampires, but no one expected him to perform with Beck. Depp sang and played rhythm guitar as Beck continued to wail away.
After a few songs, Jimmy Hall, the Southern rock-soul singer and longtime Beck collaborator, came out of the wings. He sang powerful versions of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” and Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing” with support from Depp. Beck ranged back and forth across the stage while producing magical sounds with his Stratocaster before finally closing the epic set and first night of Crossroads 2019.
