<\/div>\n

Jeff Beck<\/a> has planned a short U.S. tour around his appearance at Eric Clapton\u2019s Crossroads festival<\/a> this September. The tour will end with a special gig the guitarist has planned at the Hollywood Bowl where he will reunite with his former Jeff Beck Group singer Rod Stewart<\/a>. He\u2019s billing it as his and Stewart\u2019s \u201cmost in-depth concert in over 35 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the rest of the tour, which kicks of in Kansas City, MO on September 17th, Beck will be accompanied by drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, bassist Rhonda Smith vocalist Jimmy Hall and cellist Vanessa Freebairn-Smith. Tickets for the shows will go on sale this coming Friday, June 21st, with the exception of the Phoenix date, which goes on sale June 24th.<\/p>\n

Beck first rose to prominence in 1965 when he replaced Clapton in the Yardbirds. He parted ways with the group soon after and formed the Jeff Beck Group<\/a> in 1967 with Stewart on vocals and current Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood on bass, among other members.<\/p>\n

In an in-depth interview with Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> last year, Beck reflected on when he finally met Clapton \u2014 well after the two of them were both out of the Yardbirds. He said that even though Clapton has admitted to feeling some rivalry toward him, he didn\u2019t feel the same. \u201cI just thought he\u2019s got the blues covered,\u201d Beck said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s also got some very good pop songs. And I don\u2019t have either, really. I\u2019m not committed to putting myself up for a blues guitarist, even though I love playing the blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also discussed why he broke up the Jeff Beck Group at a time when they seemed to be on the precipice of fame. The band had been booked to play Woodstock, but Beck canceled the gig. \u201cWe just hadn\u2019t played in front of large audiences,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019d done the Fillmore West, which was a joyous thing, except for the part where everybody started to sniff the smoke in the air, which would make you stoned. But somewhere along the line, when the second tour came along and we were offered to play at Woodstock, I thought there was a bad vibe in the band. It was sort of Ronnie Wood and Rod and that\u2019s it. And I wasn\u2019t anywhere in the picture. They\u2019d go off, and I\u2019d be stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beck later buried the hatchet with Stewart, appearing as a special guest at one of Stewart\u2019s gigs in 1984. Stewart also joined Beck<\/a> at a 2009 concert to sing \u201cPeople Get Ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
