“now this guy was an innovator...doing the feed back/distortion/dive bomb thing way before Hendrix and Page and Clapton etc.....r.i.p...”
I saw Jeff using feedback with the Yardbirds - placing his guitar against the amp and then sitting down on stage and letting it howl. This was pretty radical for the period.
Hendrix and the Who did similar things and may have done it earlier. Jeff certainly was an aggressive and creative guitar player. He was like an oak tree and just got better with age. Few musicians do that.
Yes, and worth installing Blu-ray audio!
Really got into his hottie bassist, Tal Wilkenfeld. Guy had it all.
