Eric Clapton Crossroads Festival 2007 The highlight of the show are "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" and "Big Block" performed by Jeff Beck, here at 63. On these tracks he is backed by ace drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and 20-year-old Tal Wilkenfeld, "who may be the most exciting electric bassist to emerge since Jaco Pastorius".

It’s hard to get it just right.
Tip: Many older releases have had their sound quality improved from a more recent remastering. However that isn't necessarily so in all cases as some albums have simply become more dynamically compressed or tape hiss has been removed by removing the high frequencies, etc.
