This early-'70s hard rock trio comprised ex-Yardbird guitarist Jeff Beck (b.Jun 24, 1944, Wallington, Surrey, England) and two former Vanilla Fudge members in drummer Carmine Appice (b.Dec 15, 1946, New York City) and bassist Tim Bogert (b.Aug 27, 1944, Richfield, New Jersey).
Beck, Bogert & Appice pushed Cream's concept of free-for-all interplay into new realms of lumbering excessiveness. They released only one album stateside, but there was a much-sought-after live-in-Japan effort, which has finally been included (in part) on Beck's Beckology boxed set.
