I would rather have Jeff back than own every guitar in that collection.

Thanks for sharing. Just went through the catalog book.

I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck at the Berkeley Amphitheatre in 1980 and this was his [set list](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/jeff-beck/1980/william-randolph-hearst-greek-theatre-berkeley-ca-23cad0a7.html)

Going Down was the encore. At the end of the song, he used his thumbs to snap the bottom two strings, the middle strings, and then the top two strings. The last one looked like it kinda hurt, and he waved has right hand around a bit afterwards.

Fantastic show
