I have known that Jeff Beck was a guitar player since I was a teenager in the 70s. But since I'm not a musician, I didn't follow his career. He was brought to my attention through a guitarist friend about 7 years ago. After seeing the "Moon River" video, I delved deeper and quickly became utterly enchanted with his talent - his ability to bring me to tears with the emotion he plays on his guitar. I have never heard anyone play the guitar the way he does. It's not his technical ability that separates him - it's the feeling he conveys through the instrument that is so incredibly moving. I'm so sorry that I discovered him just several years ago. I'm sorry that I never saw him perform live. But I am grateful for the treasure trove of music he made and has left for us all to enjoy forever. As I'm watching all these videos of his performances, unlike a lot of musicians - especially rock guitarists - Jeff's facial expressions show his love for the music and his respect for the other performers he is playing with. Labeling him as a rock guitarist seems unfair. I have seen videos of him performing just about every single genre of music there is - and doing it all with absolute joy and dedication to his craft. Jeff Beck is truly an anomaly - unique from all others. I hope his legacy lives on to inspire us all...
You could not have said it better. I might have seen him in a short appearance in one of those all day concerts in the 70’s. And what annoys me the most is the fact that he played not far from where I live but I still wasn’t aware of his uniqueness.
Jeff, was 67 when this was recorded. Let that sink in. One of the very best to ever play, Jeff was a giant combination of talent grace and style. Simply astonishing. We will never see the likes of him again. Rest in Peace fine Sir
And now in 2024, I am 67.(!) Mind-blowing. At 79 he played his last two tours playing at top form! The same year as this Jeff toured wit Eric Clapton. If you missed that. Jeff played a set. Then Eric, then they played a shorter set together. Amazing 🎆 🎇 TH-cam has some show(s). I miss him. It was such a shock. He looked so good. Playing beautifully. Then 2 months after the American tour. Gone. He blessed us for 50+ years though!
He is totally unique. All his influences growing up. Blues, Rock-a-Billy, jazz, rock. Then discarding the pick all together and using his thumb and fingers to play. It gave him his own sound. Eric Clapton said it sounds like he pulls the notes out of the guitar 🎸
For 60 YEARS Jeff has been one of the best and he is still willing to play clubs and small halls where the audience can feel close to him. Art For Art Sake
@@arneemilbredland2339 It's why it is right to use the word "genius" of him. As if the Lord made him and made him lyrical thus to hear him is to feel His pleasure. I'm an agnostic but am driven to the language of religion to express why he does for me what bo other electric guitarist ever has. And by all accounts he is a lovely, humble man. Hope he keeps going to over 100!
@@garymorgan3314 I agree with you to a certain extent, but I really just feel good about Jeff`s playing and music and his ability to make music with so many different artists. Would love to hear him with Kari Bremnes. I guess that would be close to magic.
@@garymorgan3314 Kari Bremnes is an outstanding singer/songwriter, from Norway. She`s a big artist in Europe, Scandinavian countries, Germany, England aso. I reckon Beck will suit her well and the other way around. th-cam.com/video/0cC6xyFWBNU/w-d-xo.html
'The best' is subjective, but no one can do what Jeff did, and if they can i've not seen it, people zoom in to watch his hands but still don't have a clue, he lightly strums the strings with the soft bad of his thumb while holding the whammy bar in his palm and adjusting the volume and tone up and down with his little finger, watch him again and he does it differently.
We have lost many wonderful artists from all genres of music. Death is part of life. Yet, the loss of Jeff, has affected me profoundly, and his passing seems very personal to me. I know in my heart, that millions feel the same way. RIP
@@csisalesbasics673 I know exactly how you feel, jeff was such an inspiration to so many, especially tal! She's heartbroken on Jeff's loss, I feel for her profusely on the loss of the most loving band mate / father figure, we all ever had, rip Jeff, his memory will without doubt live forever. Xxxx
He's been playin' with the angels since his childhood. Nothing did change by his pasing away. He developed as a guitar player, as a musician and as a human being throughout his whole lifetime. Till his last breath. Trying to get better. Not better than anybody else, but better than yesterday. In this way he is an idol not only to guitar players, but to every man and woman.
@@peterquednau5601 - he has been a role model for me as a guitar player since I first heard him 1965 - that is why his departure from this world is so tragic for me!
no not true , at times , Hendrix was a more versatile creative songwriter innovator and sometimes more powerfull and forcefull than anybody ever on a single electric instrument, Machine Gun by itself is beyond what Jeff has done , Jeff Beck was a more melodic and detailed player and had mastered more styles over his long carreer , Hendrix though had a learning curve lije a rocket @@keithclelland1636
We're watching this days after his passing. We've been fans since his Yardbird days and were in the process of producing a video of our top five guitarists from 2022 when we heard the news. He was among those five even after over 50 years of listening to him. A sad day for music and guitar fans. We were founded on great guitar from any genre. And whether we're in the mood for rock, jazz, blues or rockabilly we can have us some Jeff Beck. He created more sounds from an electric guitar than anybody who ever picked one up. This was a great performance as always. Subdued and respectful but incredible at the same time. One of the greatest. Maybe the.
It's just crazy how every time I go on TH-cam I find another clip of Jeff Beck playing with somebody I never knew about... yeah, it is totally incredible Jeff was just the musical voyager... such an adventurous man and as far as I'm concerned just about the best guitar player we've ever seen... JB I can only hope there are stratocasters and hot rods in the afterlife
A true gentleman that inspired and brought out the best in everyone around him, in studio or onstage! He gave others the opportunity to let their talents and inner lovelight to shine... RIP Mr. Beck... You will be missed!
Like the guy exclaimed at the end "WOW!". I think I forgot to breathe the whole time -- absolutely mesmerized. When she struck the first cords, I thought it sounded like something he'd play. Just amazing how he wove his guitar into the piece. I thought Jeff beck would go on forever because he just kept evolving. Didn't let ego get in his way -- here he is playing at a small venue for the love of it.
This has nothing to do with shredding or the rock star world. The emotion emanating from the stage is like an ocean wave washing over you. You can have technical dexterity but if there is no feeling then it is like listening to someone practice scales. Such a beautiful song with the 3 lead instruments ...and Jeff's solo is brilliant but his interplay in support of the music and the other musicians is off the charts. Just no ego as he sits and listens soaking up the music at the beginning and the little boy smile occasionally. He wanders on, plugs in his guitar with little fanfare to a small amp, bares his soul then meanders back into the shadows like a ghost. Perfect!!! He has left planet earth but he has left us with music gems like this. Thank you. Thank you to Ms. Corr for presenting Jeff like this and her fine musicianship.
I love it when Jeff Beck dials himself back a notch or two, and applies his talent to something beautiful. This was a very moving performance by all three musicians.
Aaah this Irish traditional musical piece played by Sharon and Jeff, we are touched by an amazing Grace !!! RIP Jeff, you died the same day as David Bowie ! A tragic date for Rock Music !
Having Mr. Beck perform with you is accolades in itself. Jeff loves to give other artists lots of space to do their thing from what I’ve seen. The stage had all good musicians on it for this performance.👍👍
Irish music sometimes has this feeling of sadness or melancholy if you will. This song is very beautiful and imho has a vibe of melancholy. Great performances here and it's cool that you here both Violin and Uileann pipe. And Jeff knows exactly what to add to the song to take it to the next level.
Oh yes it's mournful with beauty in a way the great Yeats would recognise and contribute " for the world's too full of sadness than you can understand." Indeed it's no sweet melody, the women know of heartbreak and the world a vale of tears, "a terrible beauty is born."
I first caught this song about a year ago. Kept playing it over and over. And,of course keep coming back to it . He goes beyond the technical to the ability to channel his emotions to us through his instrument. Wow.
One of the greatest experiences of my life is seeing this truly spellbinding version of a sweet and mournful song. The delight and seeming ease that allows Beck to be so pitch and note-perfect that he smiles at times her is absolutely jaw-dropping. The whole band is superb and Ms Corr luminously talented, Beck though here shows why guitarists as eminent as Gilmour,May, Cropper, Clapton and Page speak of Beck as the guvnor. And he's so obviously a top top bloke too. Ab so lute ly am az ing!
This is such an elegant beautiful piece of music and it just shows how much of an ear and eye for great talent that Jeff has ...his fellow musician's play so beautifully... I love the ending where an audience member screams out wow ...and sums up that you just heard something very special and it will be with you as you tell your friends and family going forward...RIP Jeff we will all be telling the stories of our lives and how enriched they are because of the grace we witnessed in having seen you live or even just on tape ... farewell my brother until we come across the other side...
Jeff Beck can play with anyone and not show them up. He simply becomes the center of the entire melody. I have no doubt everyone that has Jeff Beck on stage with them love him deeply.
Gaz Denny Being of both English and Irish lineage I could not agree more.All people are musical in one way or another, but the 2 groups we're discussing are in a class by themselves.
Sharon Corr is a phenomenally talented musician and a lovely & gracious woman. Great performance by the band on a song not easily done so well as they managed here.
Well for the thousandth time in my very long life, the man has knocked me on the floor, rendered me speechless. Ms. Corr is a ravishing talent in her own right, you must dive into her work... but I'll tell ya... I've been following him for 54 years and I'm beginning to wonder if Jeff is actually human...
@Please permit me to speak oh great one, well, you’ve got company. He’s my favorite guitarist but I can see very well where he’s just not for everybody. I will say this…if you’re not that familiar with him through the years, and you delve into his playing more, I think he’ll win you over. Jeff’s biggest fans are themselves guitar players, thus the “guitarists’ guitarist” label, because no one and I mean NO ONE can replicate the tones and textures he coaxes out of that Strat.
Music from heaven! Is there anything Jeff cant do or has not done. God he never stops amazing me and always finds these beautiful talented Women. Ok Jeff i am jealeous 😄 Much Love and respect ☝
I can’t express how privileged I am to have seen him live, it was truly amazing and luckily Vinnie was his drummer so I got a double bonus. I only wish I could have seen him more in person .
The very combination of these instruments played as well as they are put Ennio Morricone in my mind. For those of you who do not know who EM is, that is a super compliment! Purely magical!
If I didn't know I was 5000 miles away on this night, I'd swear it was me givin up the big "WOW!" at the end of the tune. This is the best thing I've heard in a long, long time. Like the man says, "WOW!.
Great musicianship and a wonderful occurrence. A special mention please to the man on the Uilleann pipes - that sound for me is heart breakingly beautiful.
Gracias Jeff por hacer mejor mi vida desde que te oi. Sólo espero que las nuevas generaciones te escuchen y oigan ése sentimiento que es la música que salía de su Vender. Por siempre.💕
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck and SRV and Double Trouble live in Milwaukee October 1989. Phenomenal loud artistic songs 🎵 👌 😍 My standards of ear listening to 2 of the greatest!
Every time you think you are starting to to know something about making music with a guitar... as always, here comes Jeff Beck... back to remind you that you're just a trifler, after all. He's the best, for simple reasons: love of music and his instrument, dedication, and hard work.
His touring rhythm guitarist, at one point, Carmen Vandenberg, said, "He plays guitar all the time, like 8 hours a day. He plays while making breakfast." That is the kind of dedication it takes to rise to the very top (no matter what your skill is). Well, that, and a heavy dose of creativity, and a natural ability to get along with others doesn't hurt.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 Interesting. Most of the greatest guitar players in the world say Beck is unsurpassed. He's the guitarist that is the hero of all,guitar players. The best tone and technique of any guitarist since the mid 1960s. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own personal taste in things. There are people who prefer to eat dog caca, rather than a gourmet meal in a great restaurant. You seem to be the former.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 I’ve been playing guitar for about 56 years. Played my first pro gig in 1968. Packed it in about 7 years ago. Beck is considered, by just about every great guitarist on the planet, as one of their guitar heroes. That includes players from the sixties like Clapton, Page, Blackmore, McLaugchlin, Richards, and Gallagher through players in the 70s to 90s like Marr, May, Iha, Prince, Vai, DiMeola, Slash, Cobain, Knopfler, and Greenwood to current greats. Feel free to name any guitarist since the 1060s who wasn’t influenced by Beck. Name a single great guitarist alive today who would have him in their top three all-time. I get that your tastes aren’t developed enough to appreciate what he does. You probably don’t know enough about music, guitaring, And musical or guitar history, in order to realize how ridiculous your comment is… but trust me… you’re either a troll or an imbecile.
I've been listening to Jeff Beck since the first "Jeff Beck Band." ( I was at the mercy of my older sisters) :). He does though just get better and better ....and better. Such a treat to have grown up with this most talented and compromising of musicians. If it's a sound to be found on an electric guitar, he will.
Probably longer than that: didn't your sisters listen to The Yardbirds? In '66 ("The Shapes Of Thhgs") he was their guitarist (between Clapton & Page).
I recognized the song as the opening theme to the film "Barry Lyndon", but I never knew its name or origin. I only remembered its haunting beauty.And I certainly never expected to hear Jeff Beck play it. I am blown away.
Just bought a new Sony headphone , i had forgotten how bloody good Jeff Beck really is, wonderful technician , has to be the best guitarist that Britain has produced , thank you Sony.
Well said Marcus, Beck is a sympathetic accompanist and so lyrical be can move you to tears. As a patriotic Briton from a Welsh/Irsih/family I feel enormously one to what this sort of stuff can do. "We are not worthy moments all over the shop" indeed Sharon. Chapeaux.
Praising Jeff is _not_ ignoring the other musicians, but the fact that the guy who played the blistering guitar solo on The Shapes Of Things with The Yardbirds in 1966 is accompanying a violinist & a piper on a heart-rendingly sweet folk melody in 2011 -- well, that's pretty noteworthy (to say the least). And more people -- I'd venture to say _many_ more -- got here for Jeff Beck (I'd never even _heard_ of Sharon Corr myself, and have been mining the unbelievably vast & rich lodes of Jeff Beck's work), so it's not _all_ that shocking that there's lots of praise for him here.
Quite right. And when did you see a great musician grin at all let alone a few times as he helps make truly brilliant. If anyone were to ask me why Beck is my favourite musician I'd put this in front of them, press Play and say, 'This!'
Marcus- I appreciate the range. He actually did take the spotlight dramatically when it was his time to solo. The rest of the time, as you say, he found a variety of ways to respectfully enhance their song.
Definitely! No ego-tripping here. Classy guy through and through! Looks like Sharon is honored to have him perform. I would be too. Music is really gooood!
Petr Slivinski I just had the opportunity last week to work with his favorite colleague Rod Stewart. They are off to do a whole month together in the U.K. in November. How awesome is that?! I’m hoping they will bring that joy to us here in America soon after. I saw them together in 1969 or 1970 and will never forget it.
@@artysanmobile You're one lucky stiff! Not everyone has that chance. I'm keeping the faith that you experience a reunion with these guys. These guys coming together to do a concert is incredible. Beck with his guitar playing is a moment to enjoy and Corr with her violin is beautiful: what a combo for a memorable evening. Cheers guy!

Amazing to see how Sharon, a star of her own, is totally in awe of Jeff Beck, one of the true masters in modern music!!!
Sharon and the audience put it perfectly...Wow!
Jeff smiled! What an honor to have Jeff Beck make your composition even better.
My wife is sitting here next to me and melts at his smile. Oh Boy!
Whose composition? Sean O'Riada had been dead for decades.
Well for the thousandth time in my very long life, the man has knocked me on the floor, rendered me speechless. Ms. Corr is a ravishing talent in her own right, you must dive into her work... but I'll tell ya... I've been following him for 54 years and I'm beginning to wonder if Jeff is actually human...
Believe he's human but he's a gift without the ego! Liked him with the Yardbirds doing his guitar riffs and like him very much now.
I just wish more people would go and enjoy the atmosphere of live gigs. Guy ex techie
This sent shivers down my back. Absolutely brilliant. Jeff Beck my you rest in peace 🙏
Man this is so humble just sounds beautiful... fantastic musicians!!!
Could this get any more transporting? Jayz Sharon n Jeff.....magical, beyond words.
Jeff’s ability to comp another musician is unmatched. Just brilliant.
It's easy to understand why John Mayall kept on begging Jeff to join his band The Bluesbreakers but Jeff kept on turning down the offers!
@@danielolson5378 he turned down The Stones in ‘74 as well. Jeff just isn’t interested in being a cog in a wheel. He’s the wheel.
@@melodymakermark Cool! I didn't know that.
Not really a fan of this guys playing to be honest.
@Please permit me to speak oh great one, well, you’ve got company. He’s my favorite guitarist but I can see very well where he’s just not for everybody. I will say this…if you’re not that familiar with him through the years, and you delve into his playing more, I think he’ll win you over. Jeff’s biggest fans are themselves guitar players, thus the “guitarists’ guitarist” label, because no one and I mean NO ONE can replicate the tones and textures he coaxes out of that Strat.
Watching once again now in tribute ~ R.I.P.
Music from heaven! Is there anything Jeff cant do or has not done. God he never stops amazing me and always finds these beautiful talented Women.
Ok Jeff i am jealeous 😄
Much Love and respect ☝
Love this. Her name is Sharon Corr!
Much loved and appreciated all over the world .....,just like Jeff Beck.
Best wishes David
@@marieeames7291 Thank you Marie
Bless your Heart
I can’t express how privileged I am to have seen him live, it was truly amazing and luckily Vinnie was his drummer so I got a double bonus. I only wish I could have seen him more in person .
Totally awesome. It's amazing to be on the same planet as Jeff Beck, just imagine what it's like on the same stage.
This is a perfect melding of strings. Just blew me away. A beautiful song played by stellar musicians. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning.Hauntingly beautiful.What a trio!!!
He is so good! We will miss him, but his music will stay forever. Goodbye Great Master!
Now I’m so sad. That was too beautiful and I can’t believe we’ll never see the like again. It’s too cruel 🙏RIP Jeff
The very combination of these instruments played as well as they are put Ennio Morricone in my mind. For those of you who do not know who EM is, that is a super compliment! Purely magical!
You're so right, like Jeff, EM was another genius.
Indeed he is a very special soul . And he picks up souls along the way.
Beautiful. I can’t believe he’s gone.
You will live forever Jeff. Nobody, and I mean nobody, comes close. So sorry for Sandra. Paul Band Snr.
What a tragedy....tears pouring down my face ...I saw him many times ...how incredibly brilliant
Wow! Can't think of any good words to do this performance justice! Wow is best I can do!
If I didn't know I was 5000 miles away on this night, I'd swear it was me givin up the big "WOW!" at the end of the tune. This is the best thing I've heard in a long, long time. Like the man says, "WOW!.
Jeff wasn't just a guitar player. He was a musician who mastered the guitar.
Great musicianship and a wonderful occurrence. A special mention please to the man on the Uilleann pipes - that sound for me is heart breakingly beautiful.
The piper is John McSherry...
Doesn't get more Irish than Uilleann pipes but i agree love that sound myself!
@@11tinbum11 A great piper!
@@11tinbum11 It's not John, it's me lol
If you like the pipes,try “Last of the Wilds”,by”Nightwish”. I’d call it metal with melody.Check it out.
Gracias Jeff por hacer mejor mi vida desde que te oi. Sólo espero que las nuevas generaciones te escuchen y oigan ése sentimiento que es la música que salía de su Vender. Por siempre.💕
What a great setting to see a Jeff in. One of the all time greatest guitarists.
Jeff plays so well with others...what a great interaction of styles melded together,,,,quite simply put....beautiful
I have no words to say,coz music is beyond the words..just listen.
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck and SRV and Double Trouble live in Milwaukee October 1989. Phenomenal loud artistic songs 🎵 👌 😍 My standards of ear listening to 2 of the greatest!
Hypnotic. Enchanting. Magical.
Simply dazzling! HIs playing is as beautiful as she is!
How can you give this a thumbs down!This is utterly amazing.
cnniz fakenewz People do that just to see this tired response. Get over it and maybe they’ll stop.
Que joya por Dios!!....Ninguna duda, Jeff Beck en el podio de los mejores de la historia.
Loving this - what a lovely tune, played with great feeling !
Every time you think you are starting to to know something about making music with a guitar... as always, here comes Jeff Beck... back to remind you that you're just a trifler, after all. He's the best, for simple reasons: love of music and his instrument, dedication, and hard work.
His touring rhythm guitarist, at one point, Carmen Vandenberg, said, "He plays guitar all the time, like 8 hours a day. He plays while making breakfast." That is the kind of dedication it takes to rise to the very top (no matter what your skill is). Well, that, and a heavy dose of creativity, and a natural ability to get along with others doesn't hurt.
Not really a fan of this guys playing if I'm honest. Have heard a lot better.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504
Interesting. Most of the greatest guitar players in the world say Beck is unsurpassed. He's the guitarist that is the hero of all,guitar players. The best tone and technique of any guitarist since the mid 1960s.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their own personal taste in things. There are people who prefer to eat dog caca, rather than a gourmet meal in a great restaurant. You seem to be the former.
@@SheepOnDrugz
Your taste is poor then, and you obviously don't play guitar if you seriously think he's one of the best guitarists since the 60s.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504
I’ve been playing guitar for about 56 years. Played my first pro gig in 1968. Packed it in about 7 years ago.
Beck is considered, by just about every great guitarist on the planet, as one of their guitar heroes. That includes players from the sixties like Clapton, Page, Blackmore, McLaugchlin, Richards, and Gallagher through players in the 70s to 90s like Marr, May, Iha, Prince, Vai, DiMeola, Slash, Cobain, Knopfler, and Greenwood to current greats.
Feel free to name any guitarist since the 1060s who wasn’t influenced by Beck. Name a single great guitarist alive today who would have him in their top three all-time.
I get that your tastes aren’t developed enough to appreciate what he does. You probably don’t know enough about music, guitaring, And musical or guitar history, in order to realize how ridiculous your comment is… but trust me… you’re either a troll or an imbecile.
This is music.....to me. Thanks for sharing this piece with all of us Maestro Jeff Beck fans worldwide. Wonderful
I was there and this song brought tears to my eyes!!! AMAZING!!
Sharon is the best!
Also a pleasure to see Jeff, tnx for this...
I've been listening to Jeff Beck since the first "Jeff Beck Band." ( I was at the mercy of my older sisters) :). He does though just get better and better ....and better. Such a treat to have grown up with this most talented and compromising of musicians. If it's a sound to be found on an electric guitar, he will.
Probably longer than that: didn't your sisters listen to The Yardbirds? In '66 ("The Shapes Of Thhgs") he was their guitarist (between Clapton & Page).
I recognized the song as the opening theme to the film "Barry Lyndon", but I never knew its name or origin. I only remembered its haunting beauty.And I certainly never expected to hear Jeff Beck play it. I am blown away.
Just bought a new Sony headphone , i had forgotten how bloody good Jeff Beck really is, wonderful technician , has to be the best guitarist that Britain has produced , thank you Sony.
Sublime Perfection all round in this stunning piece ♡
Jeff and Sharon doing that song Mna Na h'Eireann absolutly beautiful brought a tear to my eye absolutly phenomenal.😂
Well said Marcus, Beck is a sympathetic accompanist and so lyrical be can move you to tears. As a patriotic Briton from a Welsh/Irsih/family I feel enormously one to what this sort of stuff can do. "We are not worthy moments all over the shop" indeed Sharon. Chapeaux.
Sharon Corr deserves SOME credit, too, as well as Jeff Beck.
Very true, a lovely, talented player. Charming too.
Praising Jeff is _not_ ignoring the other musicians, but the fact that the guy who played the blistering guitar solo on The Shapes Of Things with The Yardbirds in 1966 is accompanying a violinist & a piper on a heart-rendingly sweet folk melody in 2011 -- well, that's pretty noteworthy (to say the least). And more people -- I'd venture to say _many_ more -- got here for Jeff Beck (I'd never even _heard_ of Sharon Corr myself, and have been mining the unbelievably vast & rich lodes of Jeff Beck's work), so it's not _all_ that shocking that there's lots of praise for him here.
Seen him , recently, a couple times, and, she's right. Totally awesome is scratching the surface watching a virtuoso. Here, you get to see two.
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Loved it with all my heart!
Well said Pawel!! My thoughts exactly.
this is why his music is so beautiful...he is a beautiful soul.
Quite right. And when did you see a great musician grin at all let alone a few times as he helps make truly brilliant. If anyone were to ask me why Beck is my favourite musician I'd put this in front of them, press Play and say, 'This!'
This is what is called chemistry on stage, awsome
Probably one of the finest guitarists ever
This is so beautiful.
Wow !!!!! was für eine GEILE Version dieses Musikstückes !!! Gänsehaut pur
What a craftsman. Typical Beck - step on, enhance someone else's material rather than smother it with ego and politely leave! That's why he's "great".
Marcus David Yes, he has nothing to prove. Just pure music.
Marcus- I appreciate the range. He actually did take the spotlight dramatically when it was his time to solo. The rest of the time, as you say, he found a variety of ways to respectfully enhance their song.
Definitely! No ego-tripping here. Classy guy through and through! Looks like Sharon is honored to have him perform. I would be too. Music is really gooood!
Petr Slivinski I just had the opportunity last week to work with his favorite colleague Rod Stewart. They are off to do a whole month together in the U.K. in November. How awesome is that?! I’m hoping they will bring that joy to us here in America soon after. I saw them together in 1969 or 1970 and will never forget it.
@@artysanmobile
You're one lucky stiff! Not everyone has that chance. I'm keeping the faith that you experience a reunion with these guys. These guys coming together to do a concert is incredible. Beck with his guitar playing is a moment to enjoy and Corr with her violin is beautiful: what a combo for a memorable evening. Cheers guy!
Sad news today. Thank you Jeff Beck for the years of beautiful music. ❤
