Jeff Beck - "Beck's Bolero"



Let's go back to 1966 when Jeff Beck got together with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Keith Moon, and Nicky Hopkins to record "Beck's Bolero." The song wouldn't be released until 1967 before eventually coming out on Beck's album Truth in '68. John Entwistle was supposed to play bass on this recording, however, he backed out at the last second which allowed John Paul Jones to step in. Keith Moon had only a few hours to record this song because The Who's roadies would be looking for him, so he wore a disguise into the recording session. At the time, Moon and Entwistle were unhappy with the constant arguments between Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey and considered leaving The Who and forming a new band with Jimmy Page. Fortunately, Moon and "The Ox" stayed put.
