Aside from on the ATD album... the only time Beck and Rog played together was at a pair of short one-off 2002 charity gigs, September 12 and 13. Also, it was the ONLY time they did What God Wants pt. 3 live. Ever.
I wonder if those shows were recorded.

I have got a two disc audience RoIO of the show from the 12th, and it is great (PM if anyone interested).

I've also seen Roger play with Eric Clapton during a pledge drive for Sunome (correct my spelling) victims. He likes performing with the ex-Yardbirds musicians. Some of the best musicians out of the UK IMO. Maybe next will see him with Jimmy Page. 8). They could start a new group "The Floydbirds" :D

I would like to add that Beck in my opinion was the only guitar player who did the job properly on Rogers solo albums.

Seems that Roger and Jeff Beck WERE playing together, except in different places. Roger was at Madison Square Garden, and Jeff was at the Hammerstein Ballroom, which was 1 block away. :D
