British guitar legend Jeff Beck has announced a 27-date US tour, beginning September 23 at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater, in Del Valle, Texas.
The first six shows will see Beck share a bill with ZZ Top and, for selected dates, former Heart vocalist Ann Wilson, on a brief jaunt across Texas, Tennessee and Alabama.
Beck will then undertake a solo run beginning October 1 in Atlanta, GA at the Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre, through to November 12 at the Grand Theatre, Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.
Reportedly, the bulk of the tour’s setlist is going to focus on Beck’s recent album, 18 (a collaborative project with Johnny Depp), which has given the guitar legend his first top 10 album entry on the Billboard chart.
However, we’re told the guitarist is also promising to pay tribute to friends and influences, alongside some older material, with his interpretations of Mahavishnu Orchestra’s You Know You Know and The Beatles’ A Day in the Life, plus Brush with the Blues all set to make appearances.
Speaking of appearances, we wonder if Depp will be showing up for any of the dates. Depp previously joined Beck onstage for a number of shows, including a gig in the UK city of Sheffield.
Meanwhile, Beck’s revealed another star collaboration – a guest spot on Ozzy Osbourne track Patient Number 9, back in June.
