I don't cry when famous people die. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes for months after Jeff Beck passed away. What a great artist in every possible way.
jeff happens to you when you are ready for it. i had trouble digesting him for two decades. now i can't listen to anyone else. if you are an electric guitar player, you will find that with practice and commitment, you will ultimately come sit at his feet. it's about expression. i cry when i listen to him, no other (guitar) player does that to me. you have to develop the emotional SPACE within yourself to let him in. i totally understand what you are saying, and you are not alone.
Holy shit. What a band! There are guitar gods and then there's Jeff Beck! Those sounds, no pedal board in sight. His musical choices and sonics are phenomenal. Knocking down and carrying a solid fusion, rock, blues set for 90 min. is insane; what can this guy not do. We are all blessed to have experienced his artistry. I can't help but just love him.
it is artist n friend so sad he left when he did i love his music but Toni Lomami has a electric guitar his sound vibrates something in me i feel him.... RIP jeff Beck
I have a strat but those notes does not exist on my guitar.(guitar on the picture was sold and changed with a Gibson 1 year after that I got it in 1987)
IT IS NOT OFTEN THAT THE DRUMS (STEVE ALEXANDER) and BASS (RANDY HOPE DAVIES) and SECOND GUITAR ( JENNIFER BATTEN)can show what they can do, together with JEFF BECK WHO SHOWS HIS RESPECT FOR ALL OF THEM. THIS IS WHAT JEFF DID TIME AND AGAIN. There is so much of this concert that I love. It has Science Fiction feel, and MAGIC or "out of this world" FEEL to it, Blue Wind. I think I like this concert so much that IT IS THERE RIGHT AT THE TOP.! There is humour as well! Love to you all and I adore you all!!! We did not know this at school where we met Jeff aged 14, who came in half way through the year, when we were most aged 13, at Sutton East School, in Surrey. He once came in with a load of wires and bits of wood, and went straight to the storeroom just after lunch, and he sat on the floor. He was a new comer, and we all watched what he was going to do. The boys who knew him best and were the only ones who spoke to him passed down the message to the rest of the class, that Jeff was trying to making a guitar. I though to myself, with that lot, he will have a big problem, but somehow some blues notes came out of that store cupboard. To this day I do not know how that happened! When I left school I would sometimes see him in the distance near the Cinema and bus stop. I am sure that the class all did what I did- we watched the news to see if his name would pop up. Of course it did as he became a member of the Yardbirds. However he did go on and become world famous. He stayed true to himself. His mother was a trained pianist and his father &/or uncle played jazz. I understood, because my mother was also a trained concert pianist and also a Jazz pianist who played professionally. I watched out for news of Jeff and gradually he appeared more and more, eventually showing himself in the Yardbirds, and then going on to do wonderful things with Beck Bogart and Appice. He was always going to be different. I have been catching up on TH-cam, to whom I am very grateful. This music is what Jeff Beck is about;- at this time a youthful 64 years of age; a wonderful and fantastic guitar player, arranger and composer with touches of modern music and invention all of his own, and helped with fellow players of fantastic standard, like Jennifer Batten: Steve Alexander and Randy Hope Davies. The UK missed out on a lot. THANKYOU JEFF BECK AND CO!!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
I started young at 15 that was 1969. As a drummer and somewhat of a guitar player now. Loved his style. Amazing. I only would try playing drums to his music. I have limited ability on guitar.lol
Oh Jeff Beck! I am so proud of what you have achieved! This is the best I have heard from you and such a very large range!! Such serious music! You reached up so far into heavenly sounds, with music, different from any other; and have touched space and the stars! Your parents must be so very proud. I wonder if they can hear you in heaven? This concert is so packed full and you have such wonderful players with you such as Jennifer Batten, and many more. Wonderful drummer!!!! Thank you Jeff. You really got there, and then some!! A very great player indeed! Cynthia Allen -McLaglen
Yes, Jennifer Batten is extraordinary, with a shimmering path of learning and achievements from beginning to end, Watch her with other artists. C B Allen-McLaglen
I think Jeff preference to playing the strat is what makes him a wizard as he makes that guitar cry, weep, scream like no other player to date . Amazing
ahhh... the brilliant Jennifer Batten - saw this tour in San Diego - near the front row. She holds her own very well, especially considering she's on stage with one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. Bravo
There's a load of players out there that are brilliant-great riffs, space age, impressive beyond belief and admiration to all of them. In amongst a truckload of hotshots and supersonic merchants, you always will know where Jeff is by his sound and at most times what he plays is very interesting musically. He is one guitarist that when I see live I am always waiting to hear what he's gonna do next. Be is simple or complicated it always has that Beck identity.
Thank you all for comments. I allways thought that all of Jeff's music have something extraordinary but his industrial alike work on albums from '99, '01 and '03 puts him in his own league where unfortunately no one can even try to compare with his greatness. And what is maybe most important, he is able to play it all live without compromising his traditional style at all. Exceptional, rare and wonderfull. Enjoy it.
'99-'03 is really Jeff's peak as a player. I'd argue it's the most overlooked 3 albums of any of the guitar gods. Yes, won some Grammy awards, but largely ignored by a large group of his fans and the public in general. Monstrous stuff really. RIP maestro.
This show has been in prime rotation for me for 24 years (and of course JB Live with the JHG). A constellation of absolutely killer line-ups in his career....but this one could be an apex. One thing for certain Jeff is at the absolute top of his game here and makes a great GOAT case....farewell Dear Jeff and thank you so much!
What can you say about Jeff Beck? Im sitting freezed with jaw dropped down and watching a 55 year old dude(in the video, today 70years old), who can make that strat squil even better than in his 20s. Dear God please take good care of Jeff, he is one of the few living guitar gods we have left
Well said. The greats are now so old and getting older (just like us all). It’s like when all the big blues and jazz greats died. Eras come to an end. Sadly, we will continue to see our beloved music heroes die all around us and at a quickening pace.
I was at that show at Tokyo International Forum which is a wonderful venue. Jeff and the band were so on their A game; it was exciting from start to finish. Rock guitar in its finest form.
Likely the best electric guitar player ever. He seemed to be able to make his guitar talk. Even Clapton acknowledged his brilliance as guitarist by saying 'there are great guitar players,,,then there's Jeff Beck. '
Jeff is not only a Guitarist , he is an Artist - some people would say - "oh he is up there on stage just jammin' "- it is a lot more than that - The grace - feeling - style - sounds he produces and love of what he does just pours out with every note.I started playing at 12 - I'm 61 now - Jeff is just one of about 15 guitarist i even care to listen to - otherwise I'm playing my guitars.

Jennifer Batten does not get enough credit for her virtuosity! To be able to hang with and perfectly complement Jeff Beck is something very very few guitarists could pull off, and she did it brilliantly!
Jennifer Batten had a rigorous training and that is why she could pay so brilliantly, and complimented all in this stupendous band with Jeff Beck, Steve Alexander and Randy Hope Davies!! Yipeeee! Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
This is not true, why do people always say this bullshit about their "underdogs"? She does get all the credit for her career, only the cream of the crop played for MJ or JB, let alone both. Thank God she didn't play for that douchebag Ozzy. But you just can't expect anyone to get exactly the same credit when the stage owner is Jeff Beck.
I NEVER get tired or bored listening to "The Master of Touch & Tone"! Jeff Beck always looked to improve on his technique and avenues of creativity. Just a thoroughly magnificent musician. So unique! RIP Jeff Beck!! Thank you for your dedication to innovation!
Jeff Beck comes from a era of great music and has progressed all along to today which in itself says it all of his unique talent / musician . My hats off to him and always will be ,he's one of a kind so enjoy him as much as possible while we still get to see him play!
Brush with the blues just great. Jeff in a great mood this evening. He gets everything out of his guitar ... Another level, another cosmos. Thank you, Jeff, for so much trouble !!!
I could listen for days to Jeff Beck ... I wouldn’t know any other guitar player who could connect me that way ... if I think how many different versions he played „a day in a life“, each version I know is just ... fantastic
There are many, many great guitar gods out there. All brilliant musician. But for me it is Jeff Beck who, kind of sticks out and I have no words to start to describe why this is. He always seems to come from a different corner to surprise you with his intuition for the right note.
Sarà la storia a regalarci il prossimo chitarrista che possa eguagliare per talento e tecnica uno come J.B.. Quello che immagino, è il godimento di Dio nell'ascoltare lui, Jimi, SRV, BB King e molti altri suonare davanti a sè, seduto comodamente sul suo divano. Immenso....
Youve got my support there mate. I have been a fan of his since he stared with the Yardbirds. And he gets better by the minute. His heart & sole come out in the fingers. Both left and right hand!
I started with the Yardbirds and continued to today in late 2023. I saw them twice live and both 3 man bands were great. Not every body kept up with Jeff Beck but he adapted well. He was my favorite from his early 1970s to his death at, I think age 78.
Jeff Beck is one crazy SOB, saw one of his concerts long go and loved every min. While all the others seem to fade away Beck keeps on going. And seems to get better and better. I wish I could play the Guitar half as good as he can and I'd be happy with that.
Amen as a 🎸 guitarist after watching him perform 'There and back tour ' I had at least a three day contract high where as my skills went over the top. When Jeff passed I could feel the emptiness or void of our world
@@muzic3977 dJango, John McLaughlin, Joe Pass, Joe Diorio, Jennifer Batten, Jan Hammer, Jedi van Halen, Jallan Holdsworth, Jommy Emmanuel, Jagovia, Jaco de Lucia, Jaco Pastorius, Jack Cassidy, ... Jerry G & Jorma? I like Jorma acoustic but tone was thin electric. JG all sounds same... Just saw Mr Johnson in B Hills. Had sound probs, but Love!
W/O HENDRIX, PAGE, BECK ..COUNTLESS OTHERS I WOULDN'T BE PLAYING AND AFTER 25 YEARS I STARTED PLAYING ARTHRITIS ASIDE GONNA MISS THESE GROUND BREAKERS....GANDOLF
I love Jeff he is my favorite guitarist and the man can wield a guitar and take it to places you never been before. I had some amazing experiences while listening to him.
I saw Jeff on this tour and at first we were all saying "Who is that woman playing with him?". After a minute we realized it was Jennifer Batten! If you look at all the other players that came out of the 60's that are still playing Jeff Beck stands alone if only for his uncompromising standards and top-notch musicianmanship. His take on the blues remains fresh, inventive and vital.
I've always been a fan of Jeff Beck and this concert rocks. Everyone else in the band is also awesome. The drummer freaking rocks, as well as everyone else. Thanks for uploading this concert
ILooking back I think this is one of the best bands he ever had.He always has great players but it's the ones that seem to push him to play great.I saw this incarnation twice.Jennifer Batten was amazing covering all the keyboards and second guitar.I do remember the crowd went crazy for this stuff.
tubular I couldn’t agree more I also think that this was one of the best lineups he ever had and I think that he was at his best. I saw him I’m Virginia a few years ago and he was great but not nearly as good as this performance of course after all he was in his 70’s when I saw him and I surely don’t hold it against him, I would go see him tomorrow if he were in town . And yes Jennifer is awesome.
He was touring one of his mos' interestin' experimental albums of his career (Who Else?), and it sounds like this band does the material more than justice.
Hey Im an abstract artist and Beck makes me dream. He just takes me away. SO much depth and feeling. I saw him in NY a few years ago- I could not stop visualizing abstract shapes!
Lucky to see him live in concert twice in my life, he is the greatest ever, move over Clapton, Hendricks etc etc, he plays guitar like a world renowned violinist plays Beethoven or Brahms; he is a true virtuouso
I've seen every group Beck was in since The Yardbirds,and i must say this might very well have been his best.I remember seeing him at the Hammersmith Odeon in London with Simon Phillips and Hymas on the keys and thinking he's never going top this band.I saw him with Terry Bozzio and thought OMG,and i've seem him with Jan Hammer,with Tal And Vinny Coliuta and different settings such as his rockabilly and Les Paul dabblings.But this band was absolutely magical,him and Jennifer had a chemistry that was incredible and this rythym section was rock solid.This concert shows what this man is all about, a sheer musical genius,he does not just play the guitar,he is THE GUITAR!!!
Genius of a guitar virtuoso has such command over Guitar! He showed the infinite possibilities...expanded the guitar playing canvas. Although extremely proficient technically he never fell for gimmicks and his notes are so soulful full of emotions, sweetness, melody. Makes me cry.
Beck gets more sounds out of the guitar with just his hands than any other player, and if that wasn't bad enough, he has the creative musical imagination to use those sounds in a musical way. The only other people in hailing distance of him are Satriani and Vai. Other people, Paul Gilbert for example, are great at other things, but Beck is in a class by himself as a pure expressive player.
Due respect..love those other guys...but they have never been on this dude's level..ever ..he can reach down deep into the guts of a guitar and snatch the soul out of the wood and twist it into tones like nobody ever and with a technique none can even approach and few can even comprehend...Jennifer knows and she's a technicians technician and she loved those years to learn from the best.
Been listening to Beck for 52 years and only keeps getting better and redefining himself which is one thing when your forty, but sixty, seventy? I can't think of another musician who's been able to do that.
Fantastic!! Saw him on this tour and a couple years later. As far as anyone moving into new territory sonically? There is no one like Jeff Beck!! Plus being the phenomenal player that he is… As well this whole group! Thanks for posting this!!
catboyzee I agree He gets more out whatevair, whichavair guitar he plays. He obviously practices most of his day. The Great Benny Goodman practiced up to six hours a day, four the day of concerts. That's how the greats get to be Great. Clapton, must be playing and practicing as often as Jimi, who played almost continuously, recording it, playing it back over n' over again. Ravi Shankar obviously played continuously, Heifetz, Horowitz, Gould. Extraordinary skill takes extraordinary work. Each artist practices to pull the sounds they hear out of their instrument Beck hears the full range of his guitar, whichever one is being sponsored at that moment. Custom built guitars, giving him the abilities he has. Clapton and Page, et. al. pay for the instruments they want. And We get to enjoy, and prattle about which one is bettah, Neither. They're all Geniuses.
RIP. This was the 1st time & year I saw Jeff Beck and was floored I also saw Jimmy Page live in 1999 as well. I saw him again in 2001 & 2003. Then I saw him in 2015, 2016 2x's & last year in 2022 at 78 years old with Johnny Depp and he still played great. It was always a blast to hear what he may pull out at a show. Soundcheck VIP in 2016 when there was about 10 of us watching him play was my favorite Jeff Beck show. He played for about an 1hr and it was just wild hearing him mess around in-between songs with famous licks like sleep walk. He was unique and guitarists will continue to evolve and learn from Jeff Beck! Was a privilege to see him play 7 times.
Hendrix at Hollywood bowl shredded them all, the thing I like the best about Beck was his huge album output and he worked tirelessly till his unfortunate death with anyone capable to keep up with him as he was the grand maestro, everyone else a student.
I saw the Houston show during this tour; amazing, Jeff and Jennifer Batten kick ass! They even were cool signing autographs after that incredible show. Jeff Beck is the Master of Guitar! Thanks for uplaoding this.

I beenlistening to jeff since i was fourteen im now seventy one❤❤❤
Me too 15-70 close enough. Lucky enough to seen him 3 times . Doesn't seem like that many now. 💔
I don't cry when famous people die. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes for months after Jeff Beck passed away.
What a great artist in every possible way.
Dont cry dear he)s up above jammin with Jimi livin the life
I still have that lump , it's there for Ed , and Stevie Ray also , I hope it goes away some day, and I hope they all rest well 🙏
Stevie Ray, David Bowie, Tom Petty, and now Jeff Beck. At least I saw Zappa when none of my friends wanted to go, but I missed these four.

Agreed having seen Jeff in the 60s to now, he's evolved every decade. I thought he was at the limit in the eighties but he gone way past that.
Shit I let bring his mother in law and a suitcase just so I could grovel at his feet

Indeed..
and it breaks my heart that he is gone. Met him many years ago.
every time he picks up his guitar, he redefines a genre. Godspeed, Mr. Man......

Jeff Beck ....living legend more power to you bro....peace.... silent prayer
I NEVER get tired or bored listening to "The Master of Touch & Tone"! Jeff Beck always looked to improve on his technique and avenues of creativity. Just a thoroughly magnificent musician. So unique! RIP Jeff Beck!! Thank you for your dedication to innovation!
Jeff was like a friend❤❤
Jeff Beck comes from a era of great music and has progressed all along to today which in itself says it all of his unique talent / musician . My hats off to him and always will be ,he's one of a kind so enjoy him as much as possible while we still get to see him play!
If I could only have one guitarist to listen to It would be Jeff. He truly is in a league all his own. My favorite guitarist by a mile.
Brush with the blues just great. Jeff in a great mood this evening. He gets everything out of his guitar ... Another level, another cosmos. Thank you, Jeff, for so much trouble !!!
17才で、ギターをはじめ、Claptonのつぎのyirdblrsのギタリストをつとめたことも驚きですが、そのご、交通事故で、左手が、粉々になつたという記事を雑誌で、読みましたが、過酷なリハビリをこえ、現在のギタープレイがあることには、尊敬しかありません。最後までギタープレイヤ一だつた、このかたには、尊敬しかありません。
World best? Probably!. Totally the maestro in this guitar form. So much to learn still from this man. RESPECT !
I could listen for days to Jeff Beck ... I wouldn’t know any other guitar player who could connect me that way ... if I think how many different versions he played „a day in a life“, each version I know is just ... fantastic
Tommy Emmanuel next.
very happy to have found this ... the rest of the house loves it now as well! Thank you x
I have played guitar for 50 years and he still amazes me.You never know what he's going to pull out his hat.F....... right.
4 top musicians on stage and Jeff is the charismatic leader... he knows how to use the whammy bar of his stratocaster! Inspiring!
There are many, many great guitar gods out there. All brilliant musician. But for me it is Jeff Beck who, kind of sticks out and I have no words to start to describe why this is. He always seems to come from a different corner to surprise you with his intuition for the right note.
Cause we've ended as lovers,best love song ever. Played by the best guitarist ever!!
人類にも世界遺産が適用されるならば間違いなく第１号はJeff Beckさんでしょう。いつの時代でも誰と組もうとも素晴らしい演奏を聴かせてくれるし、唯一無二の存在といえましょう。できればＢＢ＆Ａ＋ポール・ロジャースさんのゴーイング・ダウンを聴いてみたいです。
You notice from the start that when Jeff comes in on the first song it immediately goes from machine to soul within a millisecond.
Sarà la storia a regalarci il prossimo chitarrista che possa eguagliare per talento e tecnica uno come J.B.. Quello che immagino, è il godimento di Dio nell'ascoltare lui, Jimi, SRV, BB King e molti altri suonare davanti a sè, seduto comodamente sul suo divano. Immenso....
Wow fantastique performance de scène merci j'adore Jeff Beck
Jeff Beck still no.1 guitarist of all time.
Youve got my support there mate. I have been a fan of his since he stared with the Yardbirds. And he gets better by the minute. His heart & sole come out in the fingers. Both left and right hand!
I started with the Yardbirds and continued to today in late 2023. I saw them twice live and both 3 man bands were great. Not every body kept up with Jeff Beck but he adapted well. He was my favorite from his early 1970s to his death at, I think age 78.
Wow what a guitar player❤❤❤❤
Jeff Beck was a true Sonic GOD
Amazing Jeff! Blameless masterpiece of brilliant guitarist.
This man never gets any mention, when it comes to guitar greats. he is the best
Steve Alexander - drums AND KEYS, Please Rest those Fingers of yours Mr. Jeff Beck, love always!
Jeff Beck is one crazy SOB, saw one of his concerts long go and loved every min. While all the others seem to fade away Beck keeps on going. And seems to get better and better.
I wish I could play the Guitar half as good as he can and I'd be happy with that.
Amen
as a 🎸 guitarist after watching him perform 'There and back tour '
I had at least a three day contract high where as my skills went over the top. When Jeff passed I could feel the emptiness or void of our world
Beck is just off the charts! The greatest of the Guitar Gods including Page, Clapton, and Hendrix, much as I love them all.
Yes, but Jimi also was Amazing!
@@Iracord Jimmy, Jimi, Jerry, Jorma, Mr. Johnson and JEFF! The best are about the Js!!!!
@@muzic3977 dJango, John McLaughlin, Joe Pass, Joe Diorio, Jennifer Batten, Jan Hammer, Jedi van Halen, Jallan Holdsworth, Jommy Emmanuel, Jagovia, Jaco de Lucia, Jaco Pastorius, Jack Cassidy, ...
Jerry G & Jorma? I like Jorma acoustic but tone was thin electric. JG all sounds same...
Just saw Mr Johnson in B Hills. Had sound probs, but Love!
RIP Jeff. I saw this tour in Baltimore. Thanks for the incredible playing and inspiration.
I saw him on the same tour on the outskirts of Philadelphia, in Upper Darby, at the Tower Theater. Stellar performance!
W/O HENDRIX, PAGE, BECK ..COUNTLESS OTHERS I WOULDN'T BE PLAYING AND AFTER 25 YEARS I STARTED PLAYING ARTHRITIS ASIDE GONNA MISS THESE GROUND BREAKERS....GANDOLF
I love Jeff he is my favorite guitarist and the man can wield a guitar and take it to places you never been before. I had some amazing experiences while listening to him.
i love his guitar work
saw him twice in Detroit at Cobo hall and once with Stevie Ray Vaughan backing him up
awesome
I saw Jeff on this tour and at first we were all saying "Who is that woman
playing with him?". After a minute we realized it was Jennifer Batten! If you
look at all the other players that came out of the 60's that are still playing
Jeff Beck stands alone if only for his uncompromising standards and
top-notch musicianmanship. His take on the blues remains fresh, inventive
and vital.
Seven years on and check out what the man is doing now. Still the greatest, in his 70’s and killing it. Breathtaking, every time. Viva Jeff Beck!
It's hard to say which incarnation of Jeff Beck's evolution as a musician was his best, but this one is pretty damn good. Rock In Peace -
I've always been a fan of Jeff Beck and this concert rocks. Everyone else in the band is also awesome. The drummer freaking rocks, as well as everyone else. Thanks for uploading this concert
I'm a telecaster player myself, and when he got that out I just about died, thank you Jeff !
The artistic level of this guy is superb. One of the 🐐s
Killer Band he had for this Concert series...... Beck is brilliant
I've always focused on Clapton mostly, but this concert from Mr. Beck: WOW!
ILooking back I think this is one of the best bands he ever had.He always has great players but it's the ones that seem to push him to play great.I saw this incarnation twice.Jennifer Batten was amazing covering all the keyboards and second guitar.I do remember the crowd went crazy for this stuff.
tubular I couldn’t agree more I also think that this was one of the best lineups he ever had and I think that he was at his best. I saw him I’m Virginia a few years ago and he was great but not nearly as good as this performance of course after all he was in his 70’s when I saw him and I surely don’t hold it against him, I would go see him tomorrow if he were in town . And yes Jennifer is awesome.
He was touring one of his mos' interestin' experimental albums of his career (Who Else?), and it sounds like this band does the material more than justice.
Agreed!!
Well I'm not great technisist but I'm having a blast Jamming to these greats they Jam on like I just fit there, I hope you can doooooodle2
The first two albums I bought for myself were by the Yardbirds and John Mayall. Lucky start.
Hey Im an abstract artist and Beck makes me dream. He just takes me away. SO much depth and feeling. I saw him in NY a few years ago- I could not stop visualizing abstract shapes!
Lucky to see him live in concert twice in my life, he is the greatest ever, move over Clapton, Hendricks etc etc, he plays guitar like a world renowned violinist plays Beethoven or Brahms; he is a true virtuouso
Completely in a class by himself. Nobody like Jeff Beck. Electric guitar originality simply off the charts. My God!!!
I've seen every group Beck was in since The Yardbirds,and i must say this might very well have been his best.I remember seeing him at the Hammersmith Odeon in London with Simon Phillips and Hymas on the keys and thinking he's never going top this band.I saw him with Terry Bozzio and thought OMG,and i've seem him with Jan Hammer,with Tal And Vinny Coliuta and different settings such as his rockabilly and Les Paul dabblings.But this band was absolutely magical,him and Jennifer had a chemistry that was incredible and this rythym section was rock solid.This concert shows what this man is all about, a sheer musical genius,he does not just play the guitar,he is THE GUITAR!!!
Deagledrumzz vn
Genius of a guitar virtuoso has such command over Guitar! He showed the infinite possibilities...expanded the guitar playing canvas. Although extremely proficient technically he never fell for gimmicks and his notes are so soulful full of emotions, sweetness, melody. Makes me cry.
JEFF BECK IS THE MAN! DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY!
Tanks 4 da video ,Jeff won me in '65 , 1st time this concert
Beck gets more sounds out of the guitar with just his hands than any other player, and if that wasn't bad enough, he has the creative musical imagination to use those sounds in a musical way. The only other people in hailing distance of him are Satriani and Vai. Other people, Paul Gilbert for example, are great at other things, but Beck is in a class by himself as a pure expressive player.
you forgot Eric Johnson
Heard.. The. Very. Of. Them.. But. Jeff. Beck. Really.. Stands.. Out. Man. He is. Something... Else
Due respect..love those other guys...but they have never been on this dude's level..ever ..he can reach down deep into the guts of a guitar and snatch the soul out of the wood and twist it into tones like nobody ever and with a technique none can even approach and few can even comprehend...Jennifer knows and she's a technicians technician and she loved those years to learn from the best.
Been listening to Beck for 52 years and only keeps getting better and redefining himself which is one thing when your forty, but sixty, seventy? I can't think of another musician who's been able to do that.
David Bowie
Fantastic show! Beck flies around the sky on his own cloud smiling and winking to us mere mortals.
I love the purple guitar strap against the black shirt. FANTASTIC. So Nice!
Pure music, Pure tonality, Pure Soul, Pure Beck!!! Thank you Mr. Beck...Much respect!!!
Rest in peace. The world is a lesser place today due to Jeff's passing.
Almost twenty years ago and I'm still to hear this legend live. How he plays with his thumb is amazing.
Jennifer Batten kicks ass!
How far he's come since the Yarbirds and "Truth." But always brilliant. Always original. Always unique. Forever in a league by himself.
Richard Gilmore ft Promi pink Floyd zolfs everyone zhat Jeff is for Home the greatest guitar Player of al time. What an honour
Fantastic!! Saw him on this tour and a couple years later. As far as anyone moving into new territory sonically? There is no one like Jeff Beck!! Plus being the phenomenal player that he is… As well this whole group! Thanks for posting this!!
Its amazing all the different sounds and effects Beck coaxes from whatever guitar he plays. Truly one of the greatest in electric guitardom...
catboyzee I agree He gets more out whatevair, whichavair guitar he plays. He obviously practices most of his day. The Great Benny Goodman practiced up to six hours a day, four the day of concerts. That's how the greats get to be Great. Clapton, must be playing and practicing as often as Jimi, who played almost continuously, recording it, playing it back over n' over again.
Ravi Shankar obviously played continuously, Heifetz, Horowitz, Gould. Extraordinary skill takes extraordinary work. Each artist practices to pull the sounds they hear out of their instrument
Beck hears the full range of his guitar, whichever one is being sponsored at that moment. Custom built guitars, giving him the abilities he has. Clapton and Page, et. al. pay for the instruments they want.
And We get to enjoy, and prattle about which one is bettah, Neither. They're all Geniuses.
+catboyzee I agree. Unless you're a musician, you don't realize how much practice goes into getting sound like this.
Sometime I don't do nearly as much as should: practice. That sucks...
This is the best recording of this incarnation that I've heard. I can really hear what Jeff's doing as well as Jennifer.
RIP. This was the 1st time & year I saw Jeff Beck and was floored I also saw Jimmy Page live in 1999 as well. I saw him again in 2001 & 2003. Then I saw him in 2015, 2016 2x's & last year in 2022 at 78 years old with Johnny Depp and he still played great. It was always a blast to hear what he may pull out at a show. Soundcheck VIP in 2016 when there was about 10 of us watching him play was my favorite Jeff Beck show. He played for about an 1hr and it was just wild hearing him mess around in-between songs with famous licks like sleep walk. He was unique and guitarists will continue to evolve and learn from Jeff Beck! Was a privilege to see him play 7 times.
Hendrix at Hollywood bowl shredded them all, the thing I like the best about Beck was his huge album output and he worked tirelessly till his unfortunate death with anyone capable to keep up with him as he was the grand maestro, everyone else a student.
Hard to believe he was 55 years old at this time. He seems to never change
I saw the Houston show during this tour; amazing, Jeff and Jennifer Batten kick ass! They even were cool signing autographs after that incredible show. Jeff Beck is the Master of Guitar! Thanks for uplaoding this.
There will always be only one Jeff Beck. No one can replace him.
