Yes one of the Clan of MacLachlans who have had their name spelt so many ways. How ever, it gives a clue as to where they came from- DENMARK!! Thay then to Scotland and eventually became Christian and became peaceful. And many of the them became MUSICAL!! Love from Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
Beautiful tribute from John McLaughlin to Beck after he passed away. 'Jeff is the Greatest!! Love you forever.' That's really heartfelt from one magnificent musician to another.
@@oupahens9219 You don't know what you are talking about. John can play over changes upside down and backwards. My only complaint is he tends to take the same approach every solo: blasting up and down single note phrases at break neck speed. Jeff tends to do more tonal poetry and textural stuff. He was a master of that. John could do that pretty well on a Strat, but Jeff could not play over changes like John could. John is a college-trained musician, with knowledge of and ability with advanced theory, as well as being a uniquely talented artist. Jeff was a brilliant autodidact. Both, great artists.
John McLaughlin can improvise at incredible speed over any jazz chord changes but when he plays very fast, he often doesn't finish his phrases very cleanly. Jeff is more limited technically (often relies on the pentatonic scale) but overall I find him more musical. I believe it is equally difficult to play interesting musical phrases at slower speed.
I remember asking John for guitar lessons after a concert with Ronnie Scott and Pete Brown(poet)at Borough Road College in Isleworth when I was a student there, would have been around 1970. I thought he was amazing but he said that he didn't know enough to give lessons on the guitar.Who would have thought that 24 years later I would be working with Jeff Beck in my studio(Parkgatestudio near Battle, E Sussex)recording music for a Billy Friedkins(The Exorcist) film with him, Pino Palladino and Stewart Copeland. Funny ol' world. Beck one of the true greats and I've been listening to multiple recordings and live performances with tears in my eyes all week.
John the greatest & most versatile guitarist of all times. I have been listening to him for more than 40 years of my life. Thank you for giving me so much happiness.
Top fan (From Jeff beck's Face book page) Jeff Beck January 11 at 1:49 PM · Jeff was one of the greatest players of all time and moved into the world of jazz a.k.a. John McLaughlin and was just light years ahead of most rock players. ROCK IN PEACE. This is a person that will be greatly missed in the musical community.🎼🎸P.S. Jeff Beck's face book page just gave me the :"TOP FAN " award for this comment. Thanks Jeff & Staff.
For all fans of both John and Jeff, give another listen to "Electric Guitarist." 1976, a solo album by McLaughlin, it incorporated unprecedented performances by a plethora of geniuses, maybe nowhere more evident than on "Are You The One," an awesome romp by John and Jack Bruce and Tony Williams. An absolutely unrivaled performance by the people we most loved back then.
@@michaelhogan6770 Guess you have a thing for travis picking. Howe can’t use a whammy bar like Beck, comp like Jim Hall, play blues like Stevie Ray Vaughan or tap like Van Halen either. So what’s your point
@@cirenosnor5768 And non of them can Travis pick with plectrum. Play blues? th-cam.com/video/LZz9UFqNPxk/w-d-xo.html He certainly can play LP tunes better than any one else including Jeff. Yes never wanted to be another blues band and certainly were not
Both legends jeff loved John's playing two greats on stage sadd loss of jeff one off no one will sound like jeff again master of the whammy bar and volume control thanks jeff for all the years of listening to you rip jeff 🙏
I love when they got into the trades - one pushing the other with big grins on their faces. We are privileged to have been on this earth during their time. Thanks for the vid, RIP Jeff.
Two of my favorite players. Didn't know they had done this. Beck, of course, never disappoints. What gets me about Mclaughlin, though, is how he seems comfortable playing in any style with anybody. Santana and Beck or Paco de Lucia and Al Di Meola, he seems to have no limits.
Most of the people criticizing him haven't heard the range he can play. You sort of have to, to invent three genres of music. Like all people who take chances, some of them are not going to appeal to some people as much as others. I like his linear stuff better that the deep chords, but he's not following any dictates but his own. Except when Miles told him what to do. And when he worked his way through the Indian ragas. And the bebop canon.
+standingwave73 That's what I also thought of him before, that he has no limits and can play anything on any style, until I stumbled upon an interview of him, where he mentioned that if he only knew what Allan Holdsworth was doing, he'd stole it..I said WTF?
Was there and ecstatic at the site of two of my heroes jamming - there will never be their like again - especially with the passing of the maestro of maestros Allan Holdsworth. Peace
Beck always rose to the occasion when playing with another guitarist. McLaughlin was his favorite guitarist and is easy to understand why; he challenged, push and complemented Beck.
Two of my very favorite guitar players, two completely different styles but at the same time, they seem to have total respect for each other. This was very, very cool to watch!!!!!
Big performance of the rhythm section too ! Both drummer and bass player are doing a fanctastic job there switching multiple times from jazz to blues to rock without a glitch. Top professionals !
Beck is such a humble guitar god he usually and disappointingly hangs back too much because he doesn't want to so badly upstage anyone (and he's not stupid - he knows he can even though he'd not likely admit it) but with the great JM he seems to have no such fear - he's aware as John is of the mutual genius and stunning capability of each. Respect. Brilliance. Class. Epic guitar playing by two masters.
I've been a life long McLaughlin fan... And when I spotted this track with Jeff Beck on a record, I was really excited. Sadly, the recording had a number of issues toward the latter part. And this recording - great music again - but the recording is also a mess. I don't know if the head sound guy was on vacation for their entire collaboration or what? a lot of distortion even.
I was there, said to John how excited I was to see him play with Jeff. They rehearsed this song,and later the same day at the concert.It was my very favorite moment of seeing Jeff's 3 Day Retrospective,one of the best music moments I've ever witnessed! The whole Retrospective all 3 days (Of Jeff's History) was incredible!
i like the way john walks around almost oblivious to anything around him. and he looks like hes in an old western movie. this makes the experience more enjoyable combined with his ripping playing. awesome.
OMG watching John McLaughlin is just insane I am so grateful my dad exposed me to him Frank Gambale, Al Di Meola, Pat Matheny and Mike Stern, as a drummer it gave me a great foundation to grow as a musician
This is freakin fire 🔥..like 2 Epic Legend Maestros..God Bless both of them..Whoever posted this...Thanks for sharing..Absolute Jam session here..LOVE💜💙
My two favorite guitar players when I was growing up. My first time ever seeing them play together. To the person who is the traditionalist I.E.Joe Pass...that's a whole different bag. Too bad you can't appreciate both styles. This version is triple time and smoking. Joe Pass is one of the best ever at what he did. These cats are also the best at what they do. No one can top Beck and McLaughlin. This is just balls out incredible playing. Beck is especially phenomenal here as he always is. Nice to see him let loose with McLaughlin. I saw Beck smoke Clapton and Page years ago and also jam with Stevie Ray in one of the best guitar duels I've ever seen. I'm just glad Beck came back to show who's boss after staying home working on his cars for years.
Joe Pass was a genius on guitar - but also a very narrow-minded crank. He hated Hendrix but did admit after hearing JML's Extrapolation album that at least John "really knows how to play jazz guitar."
Fascinating... And it should be remembered that these two are approximate contemporaries: At just about the time that Beck took Clapton's place in the Yardbirds, McLaughlin was in an early version of the Graham Bond Organization (along with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker), shortly to become a sideman with Miles Davis. And then, about seven years after that, the trunk of Fusion Guitar rose out of the musical soil of the early '70's, and these guys, from two different directions, were its roots. I love the idea that this piece, John Lewis's masterpiece, written for his own Modern Jazz Quartet so many years before, and named for one of the most seminal Jazz guitarists in the idiom, is being played by these two with a fat-back groove; I also love that the 8-bar "bluesy" section that ends each chorus in the original has been extended here to about 32 bars each time, with the rhythm section going into a blues shuffle, giving both gents plenty of time to wail. I enjoyed everything about this. (Addendum, a year later) I've seen Beck with Clapton, Page, Guy, and the King; I've seen McLaughlin with Dimeola, Coryell, and De Lucia; never have I ever seen either of them show this much admiration and enjoyment, playing in the company of another.
Jeff was always so fearless playing with anyone, great voices and players. I think he made everyone better because he always had his heart into his play. I will miss him, as his music was always so much fun.
John McLaughlin is the teacher. All others learn from him. Definitely not saying anything negative about Jeff, but John is the one to learn from. Listen to him. In his 70`s (not there) and still plays like that.
@Peter Miller Yeah if you like Jeff then to start with, but all the fiddling about doesn't do it for me as it seems like a musicians' ego trip between themselves, they never write any numbers that you can remember, the exercise is just excessive learning of technique, no, it bores me.
John McLaughlin, frequently known as Mahavishnu John, is an English guitarist, bandleader, and composer. A pioneer of jazz fusion, his music combines elements of jazz with rock, world music, Indian classical music, Western classical music, flamenco, and blues. All of that is present here in this jam.
Jeff was on fire here. John was a little older than Beck and Page and when they were young John actually gave Page some lessons. I think Beck wanted to step it up here since John was probably someone he looked up to when he was just starting out.
What a SHAME there isn't a higher level of video and audio for this event (at least I don't know of any). Easily two of the best axe slingers ever. I would rather have this cell phone digital footage or whatever was used, than nothing. Love these guys; they're just over the top. Either one of their music catalogs take me to a better place. Really need that now more than ever.
In my guitar-melodic memory: belonging to Jeff: Fabulous "Nadia" abd "Beck's bilero" -- and; In my John memory; everything is roo fast to identify as melody...
Saw the Jeff Beck Group and Mahavishnu Orchestra on a twin bill at the Opheum in Boston in '73 one of the greatest shows ever . My gutiar collected dust for a week after. Still have the ticket stub , $5.00 .
Nearly everything I could've hoped for from my two favourite living guitarists. Saw Beck three times in the 70s, starting with BBA, McLaughlin twice, with Santana for their album in '74 or 5, and with Paco de Lucia and Al Dimeola in '83, opener Steve Morse who made the show, imo.
Thanks for uploading this video. I have been listening to both JB and JM since the 1970s and own most of their albums on vinyl and/or CD and also have a fair number of live concert recordinds. JM has a tendency to play superfast but he is playing here is very tasteful. One of the best solos I have ever heard him play.
35 years ago I would have been all about JM… of course I am still in total admiration. But these days Beck is more compelling for me…. He always seems so relaxed.. or like he’s not really trying too hard .. just playing.
A wonderful choice of composition. Besides remembering composer, John Lewis, they also pays tribute to Django - who, until he died, was the best guitarist in the world - and a hero to his people and everyone else, such as Duke Ellington, who recognized his genius -
Jeff Beck truly admired and learned from Johm McLaughlin, as he stated in interviews. Jeff also NEVER stopped learning or innovating. He is so missed.
Not many Rock Guitarists could follow Jeff Becks footsteps... Jeff Beck could play with ANYONE, and mostly did.......
He often would mention him as the greatest in his opinion. I thought no one better than Jeff so if he said it……
Nice to see them playing together!
Es increíble la cantidad de recursos que usa Beck en la guitarra : el volumen el gua gua, la armonía, la cago
Yes one of the Clan of MacLachlans who have had their name spelt so many ways. How ever, it gives a clue as to where they came from- DENMARK!! Thay then to Scotland and eventually became Christian and became peaceful. And many of the them became MUSICAL!! Love from Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
This is 20 years ago.. time flies so fast.,.Jeff Beck is so fresh…RIP Jeff Beck…continue playing your guitar, wherever you are now😊
Beautiful tribute from John McLaughlin to Beck after he passed away. 'Jeff is the Greatest!! Love you forever.' That's really heartfelt from one magnificent musician to another.
Agree. Jeff idolized McLaughlin who had a huge impact on his development as an artist.
Jeff is shredding John here in the beginning. John does not know, where to start. Only after an "agreed" break, John noodles around.
@@oupahens9219 You don't know what you are talking about. John can play over changes upside down and backwards. My only complaint is he tends to take the same approach every solo: blasting up and down single note phrases at break neck speed. Jeff tends to do more tonal poetry and textural stuff.

John the greatest & most versatile guitarist of all times. I have been listening to him for more than 40 years of my life. Thank you for giving me so much happiness.
and no word for Jeffs efforts?
I'd like to hear John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny together.
Never a truer word said !
They are both greats and versatiles so it's OK :)
@snooker don Yes, saw him with those both formations, really crazy.
My all-time fave guitar players from the UK, and I'm still reeling from Jeff's passing.

Spot there pal, one of my faves!
Yeah that was a great record.
I literally spun that this week while in my home office! Outstanding
Rest In Peace Jeff Beck.
I can't think of two guitarist who are more technically proficient and unique. Awesome skills and talent.
Neither can Travis pick like Steve Howe

My God Jeff is a chameleon, no matter what music or person he plays with he is always amazing.
So humble and perfect
I love when they got into the trades - one pushing the other with big grins on their faces. We are privileged to have been on this earth during their time. Thanks for the vid, RIP Jeff.
Yes, me too
I think Jeff Beck was the most evolved guitarist of his generation. Say no more !
That's a great way to describe Beck. Clapton very similar to 40 yrs ago but beck took blues and added a lot to it. One of my favs for sure.
perfect. He never stopped evolving.
"Devotion and respect " between the two guitarists and a great tribute to Django.
Two of the best guitarists ever to come out of the UK.
Ever to come out of anywhere!
Allan Holdsworth as well
Agreed 👍 I would add 2 more: Alvin Lee and Robin Trower 🎸🎵🎶🇬🇧👍‼️
Two of the best to ever strap it on.🎼

Bob Cardenaz I've got his version of Green Onions on my Ipod. Geeze louise that guy could rip up a guitar..

+manuelergcruz Guess there's always something else to learn.
Nice to hear the audience reaction when Beck introduces him.
Two of the most creative artists to ever grace the stage, and our living rooms with an audiophile sound system to make the most of every nuance.
Was there and ecstatic at the site of two of my heroes jamming - there will never be their like again - especially with the passing of the maestro of maestros Allan Holdsworth. Peace
Beck always rose to the occasion when playing with another guitarist. McLaughlin was his favorite guitarist and is easy to understand why; he challenged, push and complemented Beck.
Oh man, just brings me right back to high school (not 2002... the '80s). Sooooo good! Rest in peace Jeff.
Two of my very favorite guitar players, two completely different styles but at the same time, they seem to have total respect for each other. This was very, very cool to watch!!!!!
Well, they have each called the other the best guitar player alive, so I think it's safe to say you're right on that count. 😉
Big performance of the rhythm section too ! Both drummer and bass player are doing a fanctastic job there switching multiple times from jazz to blues to rock without a glitch. Top professionals !

Like when he plays with Jan Hammer, it just seems to free him to push himself..

I miss and love this man kindest heart ever his laugh made you laugh he was so amazing.i hear his music every night
They recorded this tune on John's album, The Promise. It's an all star record including many great artists associated with John's career.
i cant imagine doing sth more emotionally intensive with Django , JM counterpointing JB, triple instead of even beat. Masterpiece.
There's no limits to these guys, amazing, after the gig they went back to the garage and built a roadster from scratch!
Great and very funny comment
i am a big fan of John since 1979
with Mahavishu orchestra and
Paco Lucia Aldi miola genius The is
Only one John McLaughin the best of best god bless
man... John is two words. bad ass.
Saw Beck in 2018. One of the best days of my life.
1976
OMG watching John McLaughlin is just insane
I am so grateful my dad exposed me to him Frank Gambale, Al Di Meola, Pat Matheny and Mike Stern, as a drummer it gave me a great foundation to grow as a musician
imagine mike clark or elvin or tony on this or thiery arpino or paco serry
Go ahead John, what a tune. That is the tune that opened me up to Mr. McLaughlin. John's the best, he's the best...🎸
This is freakin fire 🔥..like 2 Epic Legend Maestros..God Bless both of them..Whoever posted this...Thanks for sharing..Absolute Jam session here..LOVE💜💙
Eric Clapton in there would've capped it off. ty 4 music
I studied John McLaughlin…..and Jeff Beck…..this is heavenly…..
a well-organised duet right from the downbeat - an actual legit jam-containing jazz performance and McLaughlin set up all kinds of them
Two true hero's trading licks almost heaven maybe nothing but 🎶💕
Godly musicianship. Blown away. Luv and Peace.

Just WOW!!! The Very apparent distinction between these Both Great musicians.. I think Total respect on both ends..Both Genius..
Man the sound John had on those Johnny Smith guitars is just freakin awesome! Two great masters!
John and Jeff trading licks? Solid gold man.
Jeff was always so fearless playing with anyone, great voices and players. I think he made everyone better because he always had his heart into his play. I will miss him, as his music was always so much fun.
Two legends together on the stage McLaughlin and Beck 🤘
All I can say is two greats guitarist on stage, masterminds in music,
John McLaughlin is the teacher. All others learn from him. Definitely not saying anything negative about Jeff, but John is the one to learn from. Listen to him. In his 70`s (not there) and still plays like that.
+push on ....it always seems that JMcL thinks that playin guitar is a "speed-competition"....didn´t ever like his style....
TylerDurden43 It's safe to say that you haven't listened much of JM.
@Peter Miller Yeah if you like Jeff then to start with, but all the fiddling about doesn't do it for me as it seems like a musicians' ego trip between themselves, they never write any numbers that you can remember, the exercise is just excessive learning of technique, no, it bores me.
If I want to learn more about bending strings I’m listening to Jeff.
@@KevinM-dg7kx And Gilmour! Also those blues legends..
Imagine being in the audience at that show.
I've seen Jeff Beck with Stevie Ray Vaughn, and that was awesome.
Unreal talent and both together on stage! WOW
WOW, i am a better guitar player after having heard this.
Thanks Jeff and John
two most energetic guitarist ever playing together and the blues make it possible.
Thanks for posting this! Even though the audio is distorted, it's fascinating to hear them play off each other.
RIP Jeff!
Beck is the greatest!!! God bless him!!! 🙂🌞🌻💛🙏

Beck, Mclaughlin and Holds worth, don't forget him. 3 geniuses.
Well said, Allan was up there too.
A wonderful blend of unusually, creative guitarists with competent back up laying back just enough. Thank you for sharing.
Jeff was on fire here. John was a little older than Beck and Page and when they were young John actually gave Page some lessons. I think Beck wanted to step it up here since John was probably someone he looked up to when he was just starting out.
Thank you dear God for these two beautiful Geniuses of guitar. Like someone wrote, John McLaughlin is so underrated
Genius, the very word "genius" has become so overused, it's lost all precision of meaning, yeah they're both greats, doesn't that say enough ?
He’s not underrated he’s just doesn’t have a huge fan base, similar to Holdsworth.
Two Masters of the electric Guitar, had to watch despite the bad quality.
This is priceless, two of my most favorite guitarist ever, captured here, really awesome. Thanks for the upload.
My top two guitarists! I could have died and gone to heaven after this!
Rest In Peace bro 🤘❤️
R.I.P. Jeff Beck :(
Beck using some of John’s old Mahavishnu licks at 03:00 👍
John McLaughlin - SUPERMAN!
To compare that with today’s compositions/artists requires massive (feigned) generosity.
Total class interplay,... Masters, total Masters!
I got to see and hear these two play together many years ago...Very nice.
What a SHAME there isn't a higher level of video and audio for this event (at least I don't know of any). Easily two of the best axe slingers ever. I would rather have this cell phone digital footage or whatever was used, than nothing. Love these guys; they're just over the top. Either one of their music catalogs take me to a better place. Really need that now more than ever.
Two genius of our time !!!!
As the song is ending, the magic happens.
Hauntingly beautiful ending to video 🙏❤️🎶
Zoinks! I sure wish I had a front row seat to this show. Thanks for posting great to see two top legends killing it!
In my guitar-melodic memory:
belonging to Jeff: Fabulous "Nadia" abd "Beck's bilero" -- and;
In my John memory; everything is roo fast to identify as melody...
Bye bye Jeff Beck 😔 😥💔💙
Be safe John McLaughlin I don't want be definitively
an orphan too soon. 🙏
Beautiful rendition.
Am crescut cu aceşti băieţi frumoşi, să trăiască cât mai mult pe acest Pământ!!!

Yes sir.
like they were gods of the summit st .
They need a bigger stage for all that talent. :)
LOL- Yeah these guys sound pretty good together.........ABSOLUTELY FRIGGING AMAZING !
A wonderful choice of composition. Besides remembering composer, John Lewis, they also pays tribute to Django - who, until he died, was the best guitarist in the world - and a hero to his people and everyone else, such as Duke Ellington, who recognized his genius -
Amen
I wondered if they had played together. This is great ,thanks for posting this

Ah, to have been there! Epic duo.
I’ve never seen Jeff so animated playing live as he is here. I bet he was juiced playing with McLaughlin.
I’m with John.
Beck is the best! The legend!
Both godfathers of Jazz Rock \m/
