JustDave's Notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume a bit and add a fade in and fade out at the beginning and end. No EQ or noise reduction used, no remastering done. The DVD had lossy audio so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

I shed a tear when I heard Jeff Beck died. He passed the day of my cancer surgery. I found out when I got home from hospital. It gutted me.

The Jeff Beck Group was one of the first bands my Aunt Red introduced me too. She gave me an 8-track tape that had both Truth & Beck-Ola on it. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate those 2 albums as an 11 in how much they impacted my musical taste. Jeff Beck Group MKI, Deep Purple MKI & MKII, Black Sabbath (w/ Ozzy), & MC5 where always next to my stereo as well as The Who Live At Leeds, and Alice Cooper Killer. All the rest of my collection would be in my cabinet.

I had a friend come to visit and said something like "Wow what a nice music collection". I replied in a cocky tone "Hey thanks, I always tell people just ask for me to play something and I most likely have it." Now this was Disco Days and he says "Rod Stewart". I pulled out my copy of Truth/Beck-Ola and put it on. When it was done he said "Tape that for me". I used to tell my 1980s Metal Head friends that Rod Stewart played a big part in the development of Heavy Metal. They would laugh or yell something obscene, then of course I would play them the Truth/Beck-Ola duo and would have to tape it for them.

I included the obituary that BigO had shared. I hope you enjoy the music.

6 Degrees Of Led Zeppelin Post # 5

 Another obvious choice since Jimmy Page was a member of The Yardbirds before forming Led Zeppelin. When Keith Relf, Chris Dreja, and Jim McCarty called it quits, Jimmy Page was left with the rights to the name and  responsible for finishing off the bands live commitments. Jimmy Page formed The New Yardbirds with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones & John Bonham. The band morphed into Led Zeppelin.
