My dad and I are huge Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck fans. Recently, when he was ill and I was bringing him home from the VA in Portland, OR for cancer treatment, we were playing classic rock on the stereo in my car. When "People Get Ready" came on, he asked me if he could turn up the volume. I said, "Crank it, dad!" And, he played air guitar and I drove-danced all the way into Salem, and then we laughed and loved that time. He passed away 3 weeks ago. It's been a huge loss. But, I love that my dad and I rocked out to this song together. Happy memories forever.
Jeff Beck catched the train to Jordan. He didn't need no bagage, he just hopped on board. RIP! And bless Curtis Mayfield for writing this beautiful song!
When my husband was sick, he played this often on his guitar. 10 years on, I can finally listen to it, but not without tears. Blessing to Mr. Beck and Mr. Stewart. You gave him comfort.
My God bless you (I lost my wife too) My prayer is that, one day we can be on that train spoken of, that will take us to once again be reunited with our spouses.
Oh, I get it--my late fiance used to play this and Over the Hills and Far Away on the guitar for me and it doesn't take much for the waterworks to come for either song. And he passed away in 1992. :'(
I'm only 13 years old and my father has taught me these GREAT songs. I have been listening to these types of songs since I was about 3 or 4 I have found these songs so much more better then today's music
Just heard Jeff Beck passed, thought listening to this song to celebrate his work and life. What a huge influence he has had on music. He will be missed. RIP
Just found out the great Jeff Beck has passed and this song rushed into my mind. What an absolute musical genius he was. What a loss for the music world 😞
I was 12 or 13 years old when I was introduced to this song by my cousins. Now at the age of 38 , I sadly got the news of Jeff Beck's passing. Thus I come here to humbly pay my tribute! From São, Paulo Brazil - Rest in peace 🙏
I have no belief in any deity of any belief. I’m a non believer, but good music is good music. Beck and Stewart are pretty much without peers. Elton John says Rod Stewart has the best rock voice. The only way to describe Beck is, well, Beck is Beck.
Faith is the key like the song says. All you gotta do is love and Believe. Be ready. Your dad will be waiting for you. Love you too. The best is yet to come.
The person it is about is Jesus Christ. Only in Him is there salvation. Simply have faith in Jesus, repent of your sin and turn to Him and believe in Jesus. Beautiful song.
I was agnostic for a very long time and then became atheist , however , this song I couod listen to on repeat , no 2 other musicians could have EVER pulled this song off and made its way up the charts in a time where Metal and hard rock RULED the world of music , and these 2 power houses made a song of faith hit every teenager and adolescent stop dead in their tracks and sing and just literally FEEL what faith is !! Faith is not always about religion , it’s def what comes to mind first , but to each is own ,whatever gets you thru no matter what your belief is , go with it !!!! Jeff Beck is one of the most under rated guitarist in my opinion , he literally can make it sing and cry and everything in between , and combonit with rods voice ??? It’s a wrap !!!! Wonderfully done ! It’s as good as I remembered it way back in my young teenage years !! Kudos to them !! Such good memories !!
This song always touches my heart and moves me emotionally to tears. When I heard of Jeff’s passing, I just had to come here and listen. He didn’t just play a guitar, he made it sing. We will miss you so much Jeff. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful playing, your amazing presence, and unique style. You are truly missed. Rest In Peace.
Seeing Jeff was a lifetime goal I didn't accomplish until September when I saw him with ZZ Top at Dos Equis pavilion at the Texas State fairgrounds. He played an otherworldly because we've ended and a dead solid big block. When I heard about his passing I threw a shameless drunk and cried for hours playing Truth, beckola, blow by blow, and with the Jan Hammer Group live. Between the legendary Christine Perfect's passing and Jeff's these beloved brit rock stars are gonna be the death of me. :-(
Jeff was a guitar hero. Even Eric Clapton and Jimmy page said that he played better than they did. This version of this song is an amazing collaboration between Jeff and Rod Stewart as we’re all of their other collaborations.
I remember when this song came out and thinking, what an awesome version. They look young and had to check when it came out, 1985 Jeff was in his early 40s. Now that he's gone all we have is what's left behind. To never hear him play again saddens me. when he did surface from under one of his hot rods he was better then the last time I heard him play. Always pushing the envelope. Even though it's a music video, you see the joy and love Rod and Jeff had for each other . Still can't believe he's gone. RIP Jeff, thanks for bringing your music to so many especially me.
I am so blessed to have grown up during a period where musicians like Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck came into their own. This music beats pretty much anything being produced today.
@@crieverytim .....Really honk! you tell me who has written and played one song as good as the guy who wrote this one in the last 20 years. In fact from you're comment i know for a fact that you will have to google who wrote it. There is a sound/franchise of songs which have been seriously popular for a lot of years, the writers of those songs relying on the minor key. You have not a clue who they are, you have not a clue who writes in a minor key nowadays, you don't even know what a minor key is. You come back when you can name a better arrangement from the millions of songs you mention than this one. Tell me what arrangement means. People we will never hear from Honk again.....he is a fool!
@@68blues ooooooook. whatever you say pal. you're probably right; i don't know what a minor key is even though i'm a professional, i'm a fool and there's no good music anymore. the millions of songs written in the last 2 decades, of which i've heard but the smallest fraction, could never be as good as this song. it's all downhill! guess it hasn't hit me yet. thanks for showing me how to be a complete and utter boomer. th-cam.com/video/oMt0skVPC0o/w-d-xo.html
I just found this old song again, it brought me tears, I'm past drugs, alcohol and prison for 20 years, jesus has saved my life thru God, there is no two ways about it, you don't have to understand it, you just have to believe
Your rehab came from your own inner strength and belief in yourself. No disrespect, But Good had nothing to do with it. Give yourself some credit and respect for what you achieved. Your a fighter who claimed a mountain -- good in you.
@Dan Freiday Amen and Thank God your still alive today. I believe in God for he most assuredly performs miracles. I have seen it myself. He saved my Mom’s life. When she had an Inner Cranial Aneurysm (an explosion of 3 major blood vessels in the Rt. side of her head) and I had a Massive Frontal Lobe Brain Tumor surgery in 2000. I am truly blessed and grateful to be living today. All I can say is Praise God! 😊✝️❤️
Hi, Thanks for liking and watching and listening to my songs, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep the support coming♥️ I hope you have been well entertained over the years? You can contact me via my personal email: roderickdavidstewart0@gmail.com Thanks
This is one of those rare songs, you could go ten years without hearing it, and then when you finally do hear it, it's every bit as good as it always was!
This was my first 12" maxi single. I was 12 years old and Rod Stewart was one of my idols at the time. But it wasn't Rod who stunned me. It was the guitar. It was Jeff Beck. I had never heard anyone play guitar like that before. It felt like being on a sunny cloud. RIP Jeff
Adeus, lenda! Muitos de nós brasileiros fomos e somos influenciados por seu Dom, seu Som... Seu legado é uma obra de Arte que apreciaremos por gerações! 💓🇧🇷 R.I.P Jeff
@@gzuzsavz Hi, Bro! I,m Brazilian and this is portuguese! 😃 no problem, Thank's for you comentary ✌🏼 we're together and conected by the music. This language is unic ❤️
Oh man I was a teenager. So young when this video came out. Look how good Rod and look. This song makes me feel that youth, when you have your whole life ahead of you and you harbor the hopes and dreams for yourself. God I remember that time. The sky was the limit. And as I look at where I was then and where I am now I did pretty good. Thank you for the wonderful music that's moving me to tears right now. Rest in Peace Jeff Beck . The music lives on.
You can take a man away from "the sound" but you can never take the sound out of the man. Those incredible sounds that we were so privileged to hear when we were young will be with us to the end. RIP Jeff Beck, praise for Sir Rod Stewart. No two could have done it better.
With everything currently going on in the world; I sat in silence this morning, sending silent prayers and love to everyone affected. Whether I know them personally or not. We are all in this pandemic together. This song came into my mind; and I feel it truly applies. Love to everyone. And we will get through this.
I know this is a cover. I don't know if Jeff and Rod recorded/perform it with faith in their hearts, but when I first heard it in 1985, and every time since, It make my heart rejoice in the Glory of our Lord!
Mr. Jeff Beck, you left an indelible impression on this world with this masterpiece. What this song says is exactly what the world needs. Rest In Peace
Just heard of Jeff Beck's passing 💔 I immediately thought of this song. RIP to one amazingly talented 🎸 hero. I will remember you, and your beautiful music always. The contributions you made to the music world are endless. Rock on in Paradise 💫 Godspeed
Well, here we are, Jeff has left us,, we listen now once again to our hero been with us all the way there & back, like a flash, telling the truth, with his Boleto, with his Tele, with his life he showed us how it done a righteous way so indeed he done us right the whole way,, got us ready to see him rise to see Jimi & all the others like BB. So yes, we now having to have to face the coming days without our angle of the guitar, we've now been delt our decks, it's what we hold inside as our gathered memories that show that Jeff left a return ticket for all of us in total opus count. God Bless you Jeff & your Wife & Daughter, we here still hear you from the heavens above. Thank you for taking my comment.
Still gives me chills all these years later. I think this was a hit in early 1985, if my memory is worth anything. Now nearly 40 years later I still get blown away hearing this song. Rod’s soulful voice, Jeff making that guitar cry. Just beautiful.
Between the lyrics, meaning behind them, his voice coupled with the guitar playing...it should send chills down everyone and anyone's spine. It does mine...timeless.
Classic. Epic. Powerful. Lyrics and melody. My fav part is the hug that never let go. It took on a whole new meaning today. RIP Jeff. You inspired millions.
God Bless you I know how hard it is to loose your parents, husband and 2 of my children I wasn't expecting that now my adult daughter has been in remission of state 3 brain cancer since this year. God is my Anchor the only way to keep on going. I'm truly sorry for your loss. 🥀🕊🥀
Rod Stewart and Darryl Hall have the same soul as any black R & B soul singer.That Hendrix riff by Jeff Beck crushing into Rod's ten tons of heavy metal voice chords makes this rendition a heavenly experience.
Totally Agree! I've been fortunate to have seen both of them. At the time... Rod always ended his concerts w/ my favorite, Sam Cooke's song Havin' a Party! Saw Darryl a few months ago. If They had a tour together??? What a Wonderful World This Would Be!!
Hendrix riff? I don't hear that. Jeff was an original and the best. He did do the best Hendrix cover with Seal though and he Loved Jimi and Jimi Loved Jeff.
Man, they really hit it out of the park with this one. Heavenly vocals by Rod & a scorching red hot guitar solo by Beck. Just a gorgeous song all around.
+KoolCat ! Indeed fell in love w/ them and this song the minute i heard it.......didn't know it was Beck til later when saw video. Awesome and Divine!!
"People Get Ready" by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart is more than just a song; it is an emotional experience that transcends time and space. Originally written by Curtis Mayfield for his group The Impressions in 1965, the song has seen numerous covers, but none quite as powerful and evocative as this 1985 collaboration between two of rock music's most iconic figures. Poetry in Motion The poetic quality of "People Get Ready" lies in its simplicity and universal message. The lyrics speak of hope, unity, and spiritual awakening, calling on listeners to prepare themselves for a journey of redemption and salvation. The phrase, "People get ready, there's a train a-comin'," serves as both a literal and metaphorical call to action, urging humanity to get on board with love, kindness, and faith. Rod Stewart's vocal delivery adds a layer of sincerity and earnestness that only someone of his vocal caliber can bring. His voice, seasoned by years of experience, resonates with both vulnerability and strength, making the message of the song feel both personal and urgent. Jeff Beck's guitar work, on the other hand, is nothing short of transcendent. His solos are not just notes but emotional outpourings that elevate the song's spiritual theme to celestial heights. Beck's guitar speaks where words fail, providing a soul-stirring backdrop to Stewart's impassioned vocals. A Video That Tells a Story The music video for "People Get Ready" is a masterclass in visual storytelling. Directed during a time when music videos were becoming a crucial part of an artist's identity, this one stands out for its simplicity and poignancy. The video opens with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart walking towards a deserted train station, their silhouettes stark against the setting sun. This imagery sets the tone for the entire video: a sense of departure, of leaving behind the old for something new and hopeful. As the video progresses, we see a series of vignettes featuring people from all walks of life: a young couple, an elderly man, a woman with her child. Each character represents a different facet of humanity, all waiting for the same train. The use of black and white footage interspersed with color shots gives the video a timeless quality, symbolizing the eternal struggle between despair and hope, darkness and light. The visual narrative is beautifully synchronized with the song's progression. As Stewart's voice crescendos and Beck's guitar soars, the train finally arrives, a powerful steam engine that embodies the promise of a new beginning. The passengers board, leaving behind their fears and doubts, ready to embark on a journey towards a brighter future. Timeless Relevance When the video was released in the mid-1980s, it resonated deeply with a world grappling with issues of inequality, conflict, and a yearning for change. Today, almost four decades later, its message remains just as relevant. "People Get Ready" is a reminder of the power of music to unite, heal, and inspire. It is a call to action, a plea for compassion, and a beacon of hope in a world that often feels divided and uncertain. "People Get Ready" by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart is not just a song; it is a spiritual experience. The poetic depth of the lyrics, combined with the soul-stirring performances and evocative visuals, create a masterpiece that speaks to the very core of what it means to be human. Whether you're a long-time fan or a first-time listener, this is a song that will leave you moved, inspired, and ready to get on board the train of hope and redemption. www.candiano.com
Rod Stewart's vocals and Jeff Beck's electric guitar riffs Are SERIOUS!!! This song reminds me of the sadness and despair on the faces of the homeless people of Boston! Sleeping on dirty cardboard, in the closed-down doorways and abandoned businesses of Downtown Crossing. I know when that "train" is boarding....They'll be sitting up front!
Are we. Many far Left people, too many really, talk of putting people like me in re-education camps, and many news broadcasters speak often of doing so. And then there is ANTIFA and BLM, who burn cities, loot businesses, and commit murder of everyday people. I am not a Nazi or white supremist, but these same people seek me out to inflict pain believing I am. No Sam, we are not going to come together. Instead we are marching towards civil war, and there will be blood. Lots of it.
Pure drivel, Federalist - no one has suggested any such thing - and any Civil War that you pray for so fervently will end the way such battles always do…with the Supremacists and Nationalists bowed and beaten.
It seemed like every time I turned on MTV this song was on. A few years later, I was driving home, drunk, way too fast. My car jumped out of gear. Just then 5 deer ran in front of me. I would have hit them, if my car did not pop out of gear. I said out loud, wow, there really is a God. I instantly was sober. I gave my life to Him, right there, on the side of the road. Best choice ever!
Yes Giving God the Glory. So glad you are one coming onto Christ and God. God Bless US ALL ✝️🕉️☮️🛐💟💜✝️ This is such a a great tune Both put all their hearts into it Heart and Soul 💥🌎🕊️. 🪽🌟 🩷 Miss you and your Music so much. Glad you're in Heaven WAILING FOR THE LORD ON A STRAT '54 💟TO ALL💥
This amazing song reminds me of my mom! She loved this song and adored Rod Stewart! She passed away 2 weeks ago and I will miss her everyday! Rest in peace mama!
What a combination - this stirring, inspirational song, Rod's amazing voice & delivery together with Jeff's heavenly, restrained, poetic guitar playing. And Rod's hug still gets to me ....
When this song was on MTV back in the 90s, I started playing guitar. Back then I didn't know anything Jeff Beck, let alone Jeff and Rod once played in a band together, but the first time, I've heard their cover of this song I was totally blown away. There's so much Blues and Gospel in Rod's voice and a lot of power in Jeff's guitar tone.

Indeed!
Rod Stewart has an extremely beautiful voice. I love what he and Jeff Beck did to the song People Get Ready.
My favorite is at Albert Hall.
Jeff Beck…. Definitely one of a kind. When you can recognize a guitarist by just a few notes, .. well, that’s a sign of greatness. R.I.P. 🙏
You said it
He made that baby sing 🎉🎉😢❤
For sure 👍🏻🙏🏻
Exactly right. We loved ya Jeff. Thank you. We'll miss you.
Top 5. You are worth everything you again.
As small as his British category was it not shreddy I'm miss him for a Amature long MIN😥 why was this not here. I kinda like Rod
RIP Jeff, yours was a life so well lived. Thank you for being one of the best to ever pick up the instrument.
My heart is broken today
Well said!

One of the most beautiful songs of faith ever written.
It was written by Curtis Mayfield
written.....................................and performed........
Yes it is! It was written by Curtis mayfield.
I have no belief in any deity of any belief. I’m a non believer, but good music is good music. Beck and Stewart are pretty much without peers. Elton John says Rod Stewart has the best rock voice. The only way to describe Beck is, well, Beck is Beck.

His presence as one of the greatest guitarists of all time cannot be underestimated. A HUGE loss. RIP Mr Beck. Condolences to his family and friends
If he wasn't the greatest of all time, he certainly has to be considered at least in the top three.
One of the greatest song performances in the history of the universe! It brings tears to my eyes
The way Rod's voice plays off Jeff's amazing playing, just incredible
RIP Jeff, you will be missed
I'm not a religious person but this song inspires me to want to believe in something bigger and better! I'm getting ready.
The person it is about is Jesus Christ. Only in Him is there salvation. Simply have faith in Jesus, repent of your sin and turn to Him and believe in Jesus. Beautiful song.

Jeff Beck didn’t need to sing his guitar did it for him.
How true... listening to him play was like a religious experience 😀😮😀
Had no idea it was Rod Stewart who recommended Beck take up the guitar professionally. Best advice ever.
That's hilarious - gosh I hope you're just trolling - ROFL😁
Jeff Beck was the boss of Rod
RIP Jeff Beck, greatest guitar instrumentalist of all time and this is the greatest gospel rock song of all time. Hope you're on the train Jeff!
Jeff Beck just kills it on the guitar 🎸
A major league yes
Yes he does!
Jeff Beck is killing that guitar.
My god he’s got soul in those fingers
Beautiful!
RIP Jeff Beck, truly one of the greatest guitarists of all time. We'll miss you :(
RIP Jeff. Your guitar in this song is just amazing. Sounds like your heart and soul are in it. Love it!

Truth
This is one of those rare songs, you could go ten years without hearing it, and then when you finally do hear it, it's every bit as good as it always was!
exactly what I was thinking!!
Ben Culture I agree!!
So be it....
You are so right!
True!
R.I.P & Thank you Jeff🎸
19歳の夏、この曲に救われましたよ。🕊🌹
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner, who would hurt on mankind , just to save his own. Stronger words have rarely been spoken.
Taken straight from Marley's "One love'
Bob marley vibes here
@@siscalian4702 Curtis Mayfield wrote it in 1965. I take it Bob was paying tribute to words worth repeating.
"Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner". Next line. Thats even harder to do these days.
Holy Bible
What a fantastic song by two amazing artists. Jeff Beck was such a talented guitar player and Rod is one of my all time favorites!!❤❤❤❤❤
This was my first 12" maxi single. I was 12 years old and Rod Stewart was one of my idols at the time. But it wasn't Rod who stunned me. It was the guitar. It was Jeff Beck. I had never heard anyone play guitar like that before. It felt like being on a sunny cloud.
RIP Jeff
Gosh they were both on their game that day. And such a great song on a day like today. Prayers to JB, and family
Adeus, lenda! Muitos de nós brasileiros fomos e somos influenciados por seu Dom, seu Som... Seu legado é uma obra de Arte que apreciaremos por gerações! 💓🇧🇷 R.I.P Jeff
..i dont know much Espanol..but..yes. R.I.P., Mr. Beck. He is missed already. 💖
Me lembro desse solo top de guitarra dele na minha infância .Fica na parte linda das lembranças dos bons tempos da gente.
🙏🏼💕✝️🕊🎶✨🎸💕🇺🇸

@@gzuzsavz Hi, Bro! I,m Brazilian and this is portuguese! 😃 no problem, Thank's for you comentary ✌🏼 we're together and conected by the music. This language is unic ❤️
Rip jeff beck ....parabéns pelas obras deixadas aqui na terra ....que Deus o receba em um plano bacana
Oh man I was a teenager. So young when this video came out. Look how good Rod and look. This song makes me feel that youth, when you have your whole life ahead of you and you harbor the hopes and dreams for yourself. God I remember that time. The sky was the limit. And as I look at where I was then and where I am now I did pretty good. Thank you for the wonderful music that's moving me to tears right now. Rest in Peace Jeff Beck . The music lives on.
65 years old and i still love this song! What talent and the message…wow. Brings tears to my old eyes every time i play it
65 ain’t old. But I’m hip. 😉
Yes me too and I'm 57 years old
I'm 67 soon to be 68.I'm still hip.Wife still yells for me to"Turn that damn thing down!"
You can take a man away from "the sound" but you can never take the sound out of the man. Those incredible sounds that we were so privileged to hear when we were young will be with us to the end. RIP Jeff Beck, praise for Sir Rod Stewart. No two could have done it better.
I'm 67 and I agree.
I love this song. It always gives me chills!!! Rod and Jeff!!!
Rod always said," With my voice and Jeff's guitar it was magic." He sure was right!!!
So people get ready....a train a coming....hallelujah....just thank the Lord ❤
Beautiful Song from the best Egland had awesome song the trains coming ...
Yes🌸🌺❤️
@bubbajames7920 This song was written and sung by Curtis Mayfield, an American.
The combination like Robert and Jimmy and Kenny G. And Michael B.
RIP Jeff Beck ! You are a guitar god who inspired millions . There will never be another one like you!
One of my favorite videos from the 80’s. Felt the need to see it again after hearing of the loss of Jeff Beck 🎸 Truly one of the greats 💔
RIP Jeff, you will be missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN!
Beyond the fantastic vocals and guitar work, there is a very important message. People, get ready.
This is without a doubt Jeff Beck's greatest guitar solo...
william Aggrey-Orleans agreed
I agree!
William, I would love to know who the lovely Mexican gal is in the white dress!
Have you not listened to any of his solo albums?
william Aggrey-Orleans ayeed.
Only two guitar tones literally bring tears to my eyes: Jeff Beck and SRV.
The truth be told.
I'm with you on that one.
There are VERY FEW you can put in the same sentence as SRV. Jeff Beck is one of them.
I have Alzheimer’s. I grew up with the greatest music and the best times for any human being. Mahalo nui loa 🌺🙏.
With everything currently going on in the world; I sat in silence this morning, sending silent prayers and love to everyone affected. Whether I know them personally or not. We are all in this pandemic together. This song came into my mind; and I feel it truly applies. Love to everyone. And we will get through this.
Yes we will. Just get onboard.
Thanks.
Pandemic? What pandemic?
Very well said.
so very true
Lubbock Texas agrees😔
I know this is a cover. I don't know if Jeff and Rod recorded/perform it with faith in their hearts, but when I first heard it in 1985, and every time since, It make my heart rejoice in the Glory of our Lord!
Redeemed, Redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed, redeemed, His Child and forever I am!
Rest In Peace, Jeff!
Thank you for the great body of guitar work through through the years.
Mr. Jeff Beck, you left an indelible impression on this world with this masterpiece. What this song says is exactly what the world needs. Rest In Peace
Just heard of Jeff Beck's passing 💔 I immediately thought of this song. RIP to one amazingly talented 🎸 hero.
I will remember you, and your beautiful music always. The contributions you made to the music world are endless. Rock on in Paradise 💫 Godspeed
RIP Jeff.. You were a true treasure.. Words can't express the this loss.. Class act and so many amazing compositions
RIP Jeff. Thank you for all the majestic music!
Well, here we are, Jeff has left us,, we listen now once again to our hero been with us all the way there & back, like a flash, telling the truth, with his Boleto, with his Tele, with his life he showed us how it done a righteous way so indeed he done us right the whole way,, got us ready to see him rise to see Jimi & all the others like BB. So yes, we now having to have to face the coming days without our angle of the guitar, we've now been delt our decks, it's what we hold inside as our gathered memories that show that Jeff left a return ticket for all of us in total opus count. God Bless you Jeff & your Wife & Daughter, we here still hear you from the heavens above. Thank you for taking my comment.
Glorious performance by Jeff Beck. RIP to one of the best guitarists of all time! 😢
Rod's a great singer of course, but what really strikes me is Jeff's emotive licks, almost as expressive as the human voice
Still gives me chills all these years later. I think this was a hit in early 1985, if my memory is worth anything. Now nearly 40 years later I still get blown away hearing this song. Rod’s soulful voice, Jeff making that guitar cry. Just beautiful.
I agree. It's one of my all time favorites.
Between the lyrics, meaning behind them, his voice coupled with the guitar playing...it should send chills down everyone and anyone's spine. It does mine...timeless.
this is one the greatest creations in the history of music. June 2024
I love when Rod throws his arms around Jeff and hugs him while Jeff's playing...so sweet!
I love too!
Hello
One of the greatest, such a kind and caring human. Such a loss.😪 RIP, Jeff.🙏
One of a small number of songs that can make me cry.
The beauty of this performance always brings tears to my eyes.
This clip is a masterpiece! Rod and Jeff make a great team! Beautiful to see Rod's affection toward him. Jeff's guitar touches us deeply.
This is such a beautiful song and now Jeff is playing this song in his true home above. RIP legend.
Had to watch this after hearing about Jeff's passing which is heartbreaking and he was such a legend and an amazing musician rip.🙏🏼
Let's give thanks to Curtis Mayfield who wrote this song.
Yes
Absolutely ty for this.
Thanks, I appreciate it
Amen.
Classic. Epic. Powerful. Lyrics and melody. My fav part is the hug that never let go. It took on a whole new meaning today. RIP Jeff. You inspired millions.
My mom always loved Rod Stewart's voice and when she passed away I played this song at her funeral.
XXX
God Bless you I know how hard it is to loose your parents, husband and 2 of my children I wasn't expecting that now my adult daughter has been in remission of state 3 brain cancer since this year. God is my Anchor the only way to keep on going. I'm truly sorry for your loss. 🥀🕊🥀
My father passed away too and he was a big fan of Rod Stewart. I always remember him when I listen to his songs.
@@rhay.k2059 I'm sorry for your loss put your Faith in God He's the way, the Truth and the life 🙏 God Bless you 🙏
A perfect song to play ! Absolutely PERFECT ! I JUST LOST MY BROTHER SATURDAY MORNING ! THIS IS GOOD KARMA ! MY CONDOLENCES
Rod Stewart and Darryl Hall have the same soul as any black R & B soul singer.That Hendrix riff by Jeff Beck crushing into Rod's ten tons of heavy metal voice chords makes this rendition a heavenly experience.
Totally Agree! I've been fortunate to have seen both of them. At the time... Rod always ended his concerts w/ my favorite, Sam Cooke's song Havin' a Party! Saw Darryl a few months ago. If They had a tour together??? What a Wonderful World This Would Be!!
Hendrix riff? I don't hear that. Jeff was an original and the best. He did do the best Hendrix cover with Seal though and he Loved Jimi and Jimi Loved Jeff.
You get it....
They're in the genre called 'Blue-Eyed Soul'.
No they don't. They can't even come close. Nice try though. Wishful thinking.
This is by far one of the best versions of this song. Hate to speak or type the truth but Rod Stewart did this song justice.
Rod Stewart’s voice is perfect for this song
Have you heard Eva Cassidy's version? It's wonderful.
Adeus Jeff Beck...o melhor guitarrista do mundo!
Que esse trem o leve para o céu!😢
Meus sentimentos! Descanse em paz!🎸🌷
oh oui
Nunca mais alguém como ele na guitarra oh🙏😘💕 está no céu com David Bowie I miss you
Amen
Já está com Freddy Mercury e David Bowie ❤️ no céu fez muita alegria aqui na terra amém 🙏🙌💚💙
Such a sweet good bye 😢😢
Man, they really hit it out of the park with this one. Heavenly vocals by Rod & a scorching red hot guitar solo by Beck. Just a gorgeous song all around.
Then you should probably go listen to the Curtis mayfield version.... Good music, soul music
+dirtyred413 . . . . yea that's good too . . . but nobody tops Beck.
Love this guy. Seen him 3 times would love see him again..
+KoolCat ! Indeed fell in love w/ them and this song the minute i heard it.......didn't know it was Beck til later when saw video. Awesome and Divine!!
Written by Curtis Mayfield who wrote many beautiful melodies and also wrote the music for the movie Superfly.
"People Get Ready" by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart is more than just a song; it is an emotional experience that transcends time and space. Originally written by Curtis Mayfield for his group The Impressions in 1965, the song has seen numerous covers, but none quite as powerful and evocative as this 1985 collaboration between two of rock music's most iconic figures.
Poetry in Motion
The poetic quality of "People Get Ready" lies in its simplicity and universal message. The lyrics speak of hope, unity, and spiritual awakening, calling on listeners to prepare themselves for a journey of redemption and salvation. The phrase, "People get ready, there's a train a-comin'," serves as both a literal and metaphorical call to action, urging humanity to get on board with love, kindness, and faith.
Rod Stewart's vocal delivery adds a layer of sincerity and earnestness that only someone of his vocal caliber can bring. His voice, seasoned by years of experience, resonates with both vulnerability and strength, making the message of the song feel both personal and urgent. Jeff Beck's guitar work, on the other hand, is nothing short of transcendent. His solos are not just notes but emotional outpourings that elevate the song's spiritual theme to celestial heights. Beck's guitar speaks where words fail, providing a soul-stirring backdrop to Stewart's impassioned vocals.
A Video That Tells a Story
The music video for "People Get Ready" is a masterclass in visual storytelling. Directed during a time when music videos were becoming a crucial part of an artist's identity, this one stands out for its simplicity and poignancy. The video opens with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart walking towards a deserted train station, their silhouettes stark against the setting sun. This imagery sets the tone for the entire video: a sense of departure, of leaving behind the old for something new and hopeful.
As the video progresses, we see a series of vignettes featuring people from all walks of life: a young couple, an elderly man, a woman with her child. Each character represents a different facet of humanity, all waiting for the same train. The use of black and white footage interspersed with color shots gives the video a timeless quality, symbolizing the eternal struggle between despair and hope, darkness and light.
The visual narrative is beautifully synchronized with the song's progression. As Stewart's voice crescendos and Beck's guitar soars, the train finally arrives, a powerful steam engine that embodies the promise of a new beginning. The passengers board, leaving behind their fears and doubts, ready to embark on a journey towards a brighter future.
Timeless Relevance
When the video was released in the mid-1980s, it resonated deeply with a world grappling with issues of inequality, conflict, and a yearning for change. Today, almost four decades later, its message remains just as relevant. "People Get Ready" is a reminder of the power of music to unite, heal, and inspire. It is a call to action, a plea for compassion, and a beacon of hope in a world that often feels divided and uncertain.
"People Get Ready" by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart is not just a song; it is a spiritual experience. The poetic depth of the lyrics, combined with the soul-stirring performances and evocative visuals, create a masterpiece that speaks to the very core of what it means to be human. Whether you're a long-time fan or a first-time listener, this is a song that will leave you moved, inspired, and ready to get on board the train of hope and redemption. www.candiano.com
Rod Stewart's vocals and Jeff Beck's electric guitar riffs Are SERIOUS!!! This song reminds me of the sadness and despair on the faces of the homeless people of Boston!
Sleeping on dirty cardboard, in the closed-down doorways and abandoned businesses of Downtown Crossing. I know when that "train" is boarding....They'll be sitting up front!
Que abraço mais gostoso esse que o Rod dá no Jeff
😣💔 RIP Jeff
Verdade, estou escutando agora pela primeira vez, logo agora que Deus levou ele .
Lo mismo pensé....Se nota el afecto y el cariño que se tenían ambos. Esa si es amistad! Rip Jeff Beck
More of this music is needed 😌. We as a nation need to be uplifted. Stop the hate and embrace true brotherhood. Come on America. We are all Americans.
Are we. Many far Left people, too many really, talk of putting people like me in re-education camps, and many news broadcasters speak often of doing so. And then there is ANTIFA and BLM, who burn cities, loot businesses, and commit murder of everyday people. I am not a Nazi or white supremist, but these same people seek me out to inflict pain believing I am. No Sam, we are not going to come together. Instead we are marching towards civil war, and there will be blood. Lots of it.
@@thefederalist9982 Antifa means anti-facist, so I assume you're a Facist. We fought a war against people like you, and won, and we'll do it again.
@@mikemeagher3066
We?
Got a mouse in your pocket?
The only fight you were ever in was with your mother.
Pure drivel, Federalist - no one has suggested any such thing - and any Civil War that you pray for so fervently will end the way such battles always do…with the Supremacists and Nationalists bowed and beaten.
@@willsmith2730
Okay, Willie.
It seemed like every time I turned on MTV this song was on. A few years later, I was driving home, drunk, way too fast. My car jumped out of gear. Just then 5 deer ran in front of me. I would have hit them, if my car did not pop out of gear. I said out loud, wow, there really is a God. I instantly was sober. I gave my life to Him, right there, on the side of the road. Best choice ever!
You gave me chills with your story! God bless you all!!!
Great testimony.♥️
Yes Giving God the Glory. So glad you are one coming onto Christ and God.
God Bless US ALL
✝️🕉️☮️🛐💟💜✝️
This is such a a great tune Both put all their hearts into it Heart and Soul 💥🌎🕊️. 🪽🌟 🩷
Miss you and your Music so much. Glad you're in Heaven WAILING FOR THE LORD ON A STRAT '54 💟TO ALL💥
That's Rock N Roll! Praise YHWH.!
Great memories from the 80's !
This amazing song reminds me of my mom! She loved this song and adored Rod Stewart! She passed away 2 weeks ago and I will miss her everyday! Rest in peace mama!
RIP Jeff - you were an amazing, one of a kind, master of the guitar.
You poured your heart & soul into your music & the world will miss your talent.
What a virtuoso…. Rest in heavenly peace, Jeff Beck. 🎸
Most Gospel song ever! Rod &Jeff. Respect forever!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!
An unmatched talent - RIP Jeff
RIP Jeff Beck. This is one of my favorite songs by you and Stewart.
The Lord is coming. Is among us. People get ready!!!
Ele morreu no dia do aniversario de rod stewart
I live in a democracy. I don't recognize kings or lords. I vote for my leaders. If they screw up, I vote them out.
@@dennisoconnor4767 OK, you know what? Cut the crap. Always someone who has to bring some political bullshit into everything.
What a combination - this stirring, inspirational song, Rod's amazing voice & delivery together with Jeff's heavenly, restrained, poetic guitar playing. And Rod's hug still gets to me ....
When this song was on MTV back in the 90s, I started playing guitar. Back then I didn't know anything Jeff Beck, let alone Jeff and Rod once played in a band together, but the first time, I've heard their cover of this song I was totally blown away. There's so much Blues and Gospel in Rod's voice and a lot of power in Jeff's guitar tone.
