  In early 1971, the Jeff Beck Group was in a transitional phase, having just released their album "Rough and Ready" in December 1970. This album marked a shift towards a more blues-oriented sound and featured a mix of original songs and covers, showcasing Beck's evolving musical style. The live recording from January 1, 1971, in New York captures the group during this pivotal period, just weeks after the album's release, where they began to explore and refine their stage presence with a lineup that included talented musicians like keyboardist Max Middleton and vocalist Rod Stewart. An interesting aspect of this live performance is the inclusion of tracks such as "Ice Cream Cakes" and "Jody," which exemplify the band's ability to blend rock, blues, and jazz influences, reflecting the group's experimentation during this era. The live show represents a significant moment in the development of their sound and their influence on the rock genre.
