In a business known for jealousy and competition, Page and Beck remained the best of friends since high school until Beck's passing last year. A 60+ year friendship.
@markhill9275 seems like a slap in the face to Jimmy being dissed also did you watch the 1995 rock and roll hall of fame ceremony when Aerosmith inducted Led Zeppelin, and what John Paul Jones said in their speech?
@MaryNovak-lk1bv Ahh, it harkens back to Eric blaming Jimmy for release of some tapes of him and Jimmy just jamming, when in actual fact it was the record company that released them without Jimmy's knowledge. But Eric being the child he is could never see past that. Eric actually got Paul Rogers to ask Jimmy to do the ARMS concerts, as the big draw was to have all 3, Jimmy, Jeff, Eric on stage together. Eric has always been pettty.
Did you know that, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were all school mate's?? What the hell was in that water?! RIP Jeff.. You are definitely one of the greats!! 🤘
Actually Page went to school with Beck’s sister. She told Beck about a guy that did the guitar thing also and they met up at 14 years old. Clapton lived in a nearby town. Ron Wood also lived in the area. He knew Page and Beck.
@aloysiussnailchaser272 Ron Wood tells a story that he was riding the bus with Beck and they saw their friend Page with a guitar case walking, and they yelled to him to hurry up, to catch the bus and they were laughing at him.
THey are in it for FAME and not musicianism. Page, Beck and Clapton are the most overrated guitarists, all-time. They are average players, well Beck and Clapton are. Page is horrible.
Jimmy plays no back seat or second place to anyone but he is all about the music and he knows when Beck is on let him do his thing Jimmy always admired greatness had no ego like many other guitarists the music is what mattred to him he has no ego he knew his own ability and greatness
@@dogsquadindia I think this was in the context of other guitarists. I really don't remember him having a history of being critical of the other greats. May be "no ego" is overly broad, but the point was right on. He referred to himself as a "mere mortal" compared to Beck.
Whilst I love most of zeppelins riffs, I never rated Jimmy Page live, the live aid gig was totally shocking, Beck on the other hand was a different ball game.
Jeff has known Jimmy Page since he was 14! His sister introduced him to Jimmy...Jeff's sister told Jeff that there was a guy down the street that was into that stuff like him...She then took Jeff down the street to meet Jimmy and that was the start of a lifetime friendship and a life of music for both🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
The chording is the most difficult and important part in any song as it's what gives the melody , the shredder might get the recognition from the crowd but it's the Rythem section who gets the respect from the band . Playing the full chords you gotta be perfect as one fuck up everyone will notice shredding you can fuck up as many times as you want cause there is always someone to cover your ass , Thats why Page was playing chords and happy doing so .
Jeff is the greatest guitarist ever! Jimi was fantastic, but Jeff took it to a new level. Never get tired of hearing him rip it up. He will be missed. RIP!
Jeff's tone is very shrill and thin. What songs did he contribute to Rock history after the Yardbirds? Jimmy (and Jimi if you mean Hendrix) will stand the test of time because great songs endure much more than great solos.
@@supraphonic8143 Yes, I agree with you, but there is much more than your point of view. Hendrix and Page did great songs, but the point of Steve's comment is about the technique, and in this Beck was greatest (for me also... although the discusion is open and there isn't absolute)
@@supraphonic8143 jeff's work goes far beyond the yardbirds, i mean he literally became one of the definitive jazz-fusion guitarists of the 70s alongside people like john mclaughlin. More importantly, what did jimmy do after led zeppelin thats even worth mentioning? Jeff was innovating right up until his death
@@floydnut5908 Beck had a longer career but Jimmys work with Zep was far more influential and and has stood the test of time. Jimmy has written or co written many songs that have defined and created a genre of music and will continue to be hugely influential. Beck was a great guitarist. Page was that, and composer, producer and leader of one of the greatest rock bands ever. Beck was a great gutarist. period.
@@supraphonic8143if you think that you’re a dying breed. Jimmy Page is only the third best guitarist and Jimi Hendrix isn’t even in the top ten! Jeff was behind the scenes, influencing other guitarist like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. they were both asked who the best guitarist was. They both said Jeff Beck. Have you ever heard of Johnny Winter? David Gilmour? Ever heard of Eric Clapton how about George Harrison all of these are decidedly more creative than Jimi Hendrix I guess some of us are a little bit more educated. Jimmy Hendrix was a showmen that couldn’t read music. By the way I own all his albums. A song called “Hey Joe” was his best cover. Nothing after the Yardbirds? Ever of the song superstitious sung by Little Stevie Wonder Jeff Beck wrote the music and play guitar on that song.😮
Substitute isn't the word I'd use... He's done this countless of times on a countless number of songs he has covered. As with his own songs....The lyrics are in the licks ;) :)
Jeff Beck did things with a guitar that didn’t seem humanly possible. An absolutely unique musician and we are lucky to have been alive during his career. Thank you and RIP, Jeff. Peace and sincere condolences to your family.
Especially - being alive to walk this earth with and enjoy Jeff in person… Forever grateful. (As my daughter has said: you were alive dad when all this happened!)
Had the great fortune of seeing him live from the ‘60s and throughout his career. It was a head scratcher every time wondering how in world he did it. It’s a terrible loss for all of us. 😢
Yes people try to compare him even to Hendrix, Jimmy was out there but didn't have the clarity and note expression that Jeff Beck had. He rarely played extremely distorted just freking jammed all his songs.
RIP Jeff Beck. Thank you for everything you did musically--you are always one of the absolute best. Bolero will always stop me dead in my tracks. Respect, love.
Pagey has said that when Jeff is ON he's the best guitar player in the world. Beck is the musician's musician...his technique is so original, versatile and flawless it defies comprehension by gods and mortals alike.
There's no convincing the ignorants of their ignorance. I am in complete agreement with you, Mr. J. Page, Mr. E. Clapton, and millions of others. The man is on another planet when he's in stride. That said, he is also somewhat of an acquired taste......you have to have listened to a untold hours on end of listening to guitar players of all genres to really appreciate what J Beck is offering. With that, I'll completely dismiss the claims made by others that 'their' player is better than Beck
I like Jeff and there is no doubt he is the master. That all said his actual songs are not so great. Because we Ended as Lovers is a classic. I guess as I have grown older I tend to enjoy music that is less technical and more about feel and tone. Jeff falls more into the shredder category. When I was young I loved that style of play and now not so much. He is truly gifted and has kept it going for decades and that is incredible.
I first saw Jeff Beck fifty years ago with a unknown singer who you might have heard of R. Stewart and then five more times after that. The tears that roll down my face and the heart break is for his family. R.I.P. my hero Jeff Beck.
"Truth" was the first Jeff Beck album I heard aside from his work with the yardbirds, and it still gets me everytime. Rod Stewart's voice fit perfectly for the heavy blues influenced album, which surprised me because I knew him as the guy who sang "if you want my body and you think I'm sexy.. blah blah". Not my cup of tea, but he kills it on "Truth" and as far as Jeff, I don't think I ever heard him play a note that didn't come out exactly as he intended it to. And I was amazed at that version of the Indian song "Nadia" he did later on in his career. He did those whirling swirling Indian vocals with the guitar and it sounded beautiful.
Thank goodness somebody finally mentioned little Hot Rod!! That On of a Kind Voice & Jeff Beck’s guitar?!! This poor generation has Nothin to compare with these guys!! ✌️
Im still struggling with the reality of accepting the fact that Jeff Beck is no longer amongst the living. As selfish as that may sound? He was the best of the holy trinity of Beck, Clapton and Page in the 60s and 70s. He was the one who was most in tune with melodic structure. Its one of the most challenging things to a guitarist. Most of us guitarists learned the minor and major pentatonic scales and their respective patterns early, and it served us well to learn to jam to world music, blues and rock. But to truly understand what Jeff Beck did throughout his career was to be melodic and sing with the guitar, of course depending on the musical situation. Today I was working with a more advanced student on how to pick out melodies. I told him to listen to Jeff Beck's recordings of 'She's a Woman', 'A Day in the Life' and 'Over the Rainbow'. What he did with those tunes was nothing short of genius. I went on about identifying the key and go with the proper key and scales to find the right notes. The notes will be there and its your job to find those melodies within those notes of the scale. I had him pick out the melody of "Over the Rainbow"...he kind of struggled to find the notes...then I told him, "think of the notes in the key of G, and you'll find them." Sure enough...notes all natural, with the exception of F#. Then...he found them. Im so sorry to have heard this news so suddenly. Mr Beck...Ive had the privilege to witness your virtuosity live when you toured with Santana in the 90s. RIP Jeff Beck...your legacy will remain with us forever, and we'll never forget you.
I met Jeff backstage at a BB King concert in Georgia one time. I was just hanging out talking to a friend and Jeff just walked up and said "What's going on". He was a really nice guy. We talked for a few minutes, got some photos and then he left. One of the most surreal moments of my life
I arrived at Heathrow at the same time as him and as I cleared customs I saw a well dressed chauffeur holding a sign reading Geoff Beck, I said to him he had spelt that wrong then a few minutes later the driver walks out of the terminal followed by a very scruffy Jeff Beck hauling his own luggage behind him
that is so true and I guess that's what set him apart from most other guitarists... In this video, it's just a staggering contrast between Jeff's wizardry and then the way Joe Perry plays his solo (like an average fast rock player, but basically every note sounds the same!)
He had the ultra-rare ability to make the guitar an organic part of himself. We're all so very fortunate to have spent time on this planet with such a force. #RIPJeffBeck
I agree, Peter. And I believe that his playing without a pick helped him to achieve his individual uniqueness of character and accomplishments. Also, he did seem to become one with his guitars whenever he performed. And he somehow channeled his thoughts and feelings through his guitars in a very spiritual kind of way.
I'm stunned I've never seen this before. That finale. The sheer amount of talent on stage is just insane, and put a smile on my face almost as big as Jeff and Jimmy's.
Those smiles just jump off the stage!! Jimmy has become such a big happy smiling gentleman since 'It might get loud" All these guys got to be thinking about the inevitable. Like when am I next.
That's the Peter Gunn theme by Henry Mancini right after Page's appearance. Mancini was from Aliquippa PA, not far from where Vinnie Colaiuta, the drummer, grew up. So now you know.
Yes...they all know to let Beck take the lead on the last song too...Ive seen them all except Hendrix. Beck is the best. Everyone knows the quote "When Jeff is 'on', he's the best there is". I wholeheartedly agree. Nobody makes a guitar sing like Beck. He just.didnt have the hits. Who cares.
I've always admired great guitar players my whole life. I've always known of Jeff Beck but never allowed myself to listen to more of his playing. Ikr?!! Spent the night at a friend's house several years ago, and after he called it a night, I continued to stay up and watch VH1 Classic. Jeff Beck was playing. I saw something in him that mesmerized me. The way he could make that guitar literally speak to you man. Unlike Page, Hendrix, Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen, he had not only his own unique style, but left you no choice in being a fan. Talented is not the word. This man was born to blow your mind on a guitar with such meaning. RIP JEFF BECK. What you brought to the table is nothing but legendary. ❤
You mean to tell me that you didn't know that Blow by Blow was heralded as a ground breaker? That fact was even mentioned by the mainstream media. Not by some guitar players in their bedrooms. And you didn't know this?
Jeff is one of the best but Jimmy doesn’t take a lead because his playing isn’t what it used to be. He even makes a horrible mistake on the Bolero riff at 3:32. Page stopped making music decades ago and is just resting on his laurels. Beck still puts out new albums and tours constantly.
Hands down, one of the best guitarists of all time! RIP Jeff Beck. Glad I was privileged to see you playing alongside Carlos Santana back in the 90s. What a sad day for rock and roll.
Man what an amazing performance I don't know how Jeff Beck does it but he just touches that damn thing sounds like a freaking orchestra! So cool to see Jimmy playing with him
I've enjoyed Beck for decades. It's been a joy & thrill watching him live again with Johnny Depp. Looks like such kick butt fun & they are great together. Jeff is absolutely the king
I watched this last week and told my friend about it the next day. I told him how inspired I was by the humility and masterful musicianship and fun had. It was why I liked music, to begin with. I was left with such gratitude that guys like him were still around. R.I.P. Jeff Beck
During "Immigrant Song" you can see how close JB and Page get, then you see the nodding glances JB gives to Pagey. Great to see that respect and friendship there.
Good to see them close again becuase they had fallen out for quite awhile with page remarking there was a strange professional jealousy that developed between them but luckily they patched things up .
They've been friends since they were teenagers. What are the odds of a friendship lasting that long, let alone one that brings two phenomenally talented guitarists together professionally without all the ego driven theatrics that other musicians have succumbed to?
Beck, Page, Clapton and Hendrix - the greatest guitarists who ever lived and now we have lost two of them. Beck’s passing breaks my heart. We may never see a talent like his again.
The BEST is not mentioned here: John McLaughlin. If you appreciate Beck's virtuosity, will be heard in McLaughlich even more Amazing. Only McLaughlin is rather in the Jazz and Fusion on-the-go, because in the Rock. Der in der Mitte ist McLaughlin. ua-cam.com/video/XIPLwoiL71o/v-deo.html
If you want to see & hear the opinions of all Jeff’s contemporaries - what they think of him as one of the greatest guitarists ever in the music industry - watch Jeff Beck: Still On the Run. When you hear them all say, ‘’There is Jeff Beck…and everybody else,’’ you know one of the top 2-3 guitarists of all time left this earth yesterday. RIP, Jeff.
This is just EXACTLY what you want. Just like Jimmy Page said one time. "It's gonna be loud." That's the purpose of these guitars. Jeff Beck used to burn out those vacuum tubes in the Vox amplifiers he used. Neither one of them babied their equipment with some nice and easy sounds. They're like the Picasso's of experimentation and creativity. What's pathetic, is that music "critics", including goofs on youtube, magazines, etc.., think you can "analyze" what they did. That's convenient, isn't it? AFTER the fact. You can't describe either one of them, and you never will. Both of them took guitar into an entirely different realm where the instrument had never been before. And everybody since, including the amplifier, guitar centre equipment industry, owes EVERYTHING to them. And everybody, including their brother, their sister, their sister's brother, their aunts and uncles, have copied what they've done, and still use what they've done in their own bands and on record labels. Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page started out with sheer force, and NEVER stopped being experts at it! It's too bad their guitar sounds weren't heard in previous centuries.
Jeff Beck...guitar legend, musical genius. There will never be another who is comparable. And he was as great a man as he was a musician. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rock, blues, even jazz is a little less with his loss. RIP Jeff. You were and still are loved by millions. Not a bad legacy!
Guys like Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose and their ability to play such awesome versions of the theme from Peter Gunn as heard by Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose's version of A Town Without Pity bring another dimension to the legacy as guitar gods by exposing another whole genre to their audiences. We are lacking of their talents every day since they have passed yet thanks to this and other video cache collections can hold on to their brilliance.
A great collection of performances, really great. Beck at his best. Page his old buddy! And all the others...Tal Wilkenfeld!, such a great artist and person.
After Rod Stewart left the band, JB tried a couple of singers, but he couldn't find one that felt and sounded right, so he decided to only do instrumental. He knew it would affect him financially, but he just wanted to make great music and see how far he could take the guitar (which was pretty far). It's all about the music, the craft, for him. That's why he only cares about someone's talent. Beyond Tal, he's had many female musicians in his bands. And "Truth" is one of the greatest albums ever made. I have it on CD, but I still pull out my 40 year old vinyl copy.
That looks like they all had allot of fun on the stage together...RIP Mr. Beck, thanks for goosebumps throughout out the years...your music will live on forever!
He played on Beck's Bolero because Jimmy was in the yardbirds with Jeff beck before he left the yardbirds also Keith moon from the who played drums on the studio version of Beck's Bolero in 1967
Dave and I saw him in Pittsburgh about ten years ago. I met so many friends that I hadn’t seen in years. Every guitar player in town was there to see the “ Master” . It was GUITAR SCHOOL !
I just want to remind everyone that Jeff starts with Beck's Bolero and then Jimmy joins in for Immigrant Song. They finish with the ending of Beck's Bolero. The second song is the theme from Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini. ua-cam.com/video/oysMt8iL9UE/v-deo.html
Quite a bit better than the Yardbirds.😉 RIP, Jeff. Second-most stylish guitarist, after Hendrix. But page is the riff master. I never got to ask Jeff where he shops for clothes. 🤣
Beck came from rock roots but he was an explorer. He could have put together a Stones or Zeppelin type super group but he was an innovator. He was bored by that. He went to places no one had been before. He created a completely new rock music genre. How many notes did it take to recognize a Jeff Beck song that you had never heard before? One or two. You knew right away it was Beck. Unmistakable. It's one thing to be original and another to be great but Beck was both. Which is rare. Long live Jeff Beck.
RIP Jeff.🙏 I grew up on "Bolero" as a teen after hearing Ravel's version as a youngster. My mom and dad loved his version. At 68, I'm grateful I had the freedom to play some of my music for my parents and that I've been able to see this man reinvent himself every time he picked up a guitar.
As a guitar player myself I can say without reservation that no one can touch Jeff Beck. He is on another plane altogether. The man is truly the definition of a guitar God!
JB fan since 68 and unfortunately in settings like this the virtuosity is always there but there is no warmth. Not softness or anything weak more depth would be great.
@@ronaldmorr9445 To each their own. You have every right to your opinion. I ABSOLUTELY think Jimmy is the GOAT. Almost every person I've ever spoken to believes Jimmy is #1 also.
45 years ago. July 3rd turning into July 4th.. 1976 out countries bi-centennial. I was at the Fox Theater in Detroit.. Watching Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer... Blow by Blow tour... Perhaps the best concert I've seen...
Rick Hibdon - As a 15 year old I was also lucky enough to Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group in Feb 1977 at the Hordern Pavilion here in Sydney , Australia. As you know Jeff Beck was in his full on Jazz rock period at that stage and I didn't appreciate the performance at the time , as the 15 year old me was only interested in his Yardbirds/1960s solo work with Rod Stewart, I'm still glad I saw the show in 77 and very glad Beck recorded a live LP with Jan Hammer from that tour as it wasn't till 10/11 years later I fully appreciated his 1975-1980 Jazz rock phase, I've subsequently seen him twice over over the last 15 years here in Sydney at the Enmore theatre down the road from my place , both times with Aussie bassist Tal Wikenfield and Narada Michael Walden on drums - fantastic shows and I got Jeff's autograph . 🎸👍😎
Tal Wilkenfeld on bass
RIP Jeff Beck. Thank you for your music and for inspiring many guitarists/musicians around the world. You’re still the best. God bless 🙏🏻🕊🎸
🙏😢🙏
Yeah I JUST saw the news. Damn. All the real talent is fading away.
Amen 🙏
Had to find some Beck to play for this sad day. Got to see him solo in 1980. Seeing Jeff give Jimmy a big hug was beautiful.
He was and still is my guitar God we will miss you Jeff Beck
God Bless Jeff B.😎

And I was amazed at that version of the Indian song "Nadia" he did later on in his career. He did those whirling swirling Indian vocals with the guitar and it sounded beautiful.
Thank goodness somebody finally mentioned little Hot Rod!! That On of a Kind Voice & Jeff Beck’s guitar?!! This poor generation has Nothin to compare with these guys!! ✌️
Im still struggling with the reality of accepting the fact that Jeff Beck is no longer amongst the living.
As selfish as that may sound?
He was the best of the holy trinity of Beck, Clapton and Page in the 60s and 70s.
He was the one who was most in tune with melodic structure. Its one of the most challenging things to a guitarist.
Most of us guitarists learned the minor and major pentatonic scales and their respective patterns early, and it served us well to learn to jam to world music, blues and rock.
But to truly understand what Jeff Beck did throughout his career was to be melodic and sing with the guitar, of course depending on the musical situation.
Today I was working with a more advanced student on how to pick out melodies.
I told him to listen to Jeff Beck's recordings of 'She's a Woman', 'A Day in the Life' and 'Over the Rainbow'. What he did with those tunes was nothing short of genius.
I went on about identifying the key and go with the proper key and scales to find the right notes.
The notes will be there and its your job to find those melodies within those notes of the scale.
I had him pick out the melody of "Over the Rainbow"...he kind of struggled to find the notes...then I told him, "think of the notes in the key of G, and you'll find them."
Sure enough...notes all natural, with the exception of F#.
Then...he found them.
Im so sorry to have heard this news so suddenly.
Mr Beck...Ive had the privilege to witness your virtuosity live when you toured with Santana in the 90s.
RIP Jeff Beck...your legacy will remain with us forever, and we'll never forget you.
RIP Jeff Beck. So glad I got to see you play years ago at Crossroads. One of the most talented guitarists of all times
🙏🎸🙏
@@direstraightsno 88 hu
Fortunate enough to see Jeff Beck play in concert in Brighten, East Sussex in England. Jeff was playing in top form, thoroughly enjoyed his concert!
crossroads in chicago is a gr8 vid on you tube Linda, with Tal
Saw Carlos Santana warm-up for him in St. Louis what an incredible experience
Becks bolero.. I've still got this on a 7 inch vinyl single
RIP 🙏Jeff Beck. To all his family and friends my condolences. Jeff Beck did it all his way.
I met Jeff backstage at a BB King concert in Georgia one time. I was just hanging out talking to a friend and Jeff just walked up and said "What's going on". He was a really nice guy. We talked for a few minutes, got some photos and then he left. One of the most surreal moments of my life
That’s very cool.
I arrived at Heathrow at the same time as him and as I cleared customs I saw a well dressed chauffeur holding a sign reading Geoff Beck, I said to him he had spelt that wrong then a few minutes later the driver walks out of the terminal followed by a very scruffy Jeff Beck hauling his own luggage behind him
@@guyeasterbrook8694 possibly to not let the public onto who?
Good 2 know. Humble
@@guyeasterbrook8694 Actually, his full name is Geoffrey Arnold Beck, but professionally he's always gone by Jeff Beck.
The sheer genius of Jeff Beck is down to his sensitive touch. He gives each note its own individual character.
that is so true and I guess that's what set him apart from most other guitarists... In this video, it's just a staggering contrast between Jeff's wizardry and then the way Joe Perry plays his solo (like an average fast rock player, but basically every note sounds the same!)
He had the ultra-rare ability to make the guitar an organic part of himself. We're all so very fortunate to have spent time on this planet with such a force. #RIPJeffBeck
Exactly my friend!! 👍
I agree, Peter. And I believe that his playing without a pick helped him to achieve his individual uniqueness of character and accomplishments. Also, he did seem to become one with his guitars whenever he performed. And he somehow channeled his thoughts and feelings through his guitars in a very spiritual kind of way.
yup...he got inside the notes
RIP Jeff Beck. Truly one the best ever. 🎸
I'm stunned I've never seen this before. That finale. The sheer amount of talent on stage is just insane, and put a smile on my face almost as big as Jeff and Jimmy's.
And that bass player is slaying it, too! Forget her name, sorry.
Jason Newsted.
@@emilyflotilla931 Tal Wilkenfeld
she's fantastic isn't she!!?
Those smiles just jump off the stage!! Jimmy has become such a big happy smiling gentleman since 'It might get loud" All these guys got to be thinking about the inevitable. Like when am I next.
@@deketk I saw her at Martyrs in Chicago in the early 00s. Great bassist! I guess the late Jeff Beck thought so, too! A great compliment.
Is that TAL on the bass? IT IS! 02:33
09:40 A million years of talent on stage!! 👏🏻🇨🇦👍🎸🎸
With Tal Wilkenfeld backing on base.
Thank you Jeff for encouraging the next generation.
That's the Peter Gunn theme by Henry Mancini right after Page's appearance. Mancini was from Aliquippa PA, not far from where Vinnie Colaiuta, the drummer, grew up. So now you know.
RIP Jeff Beck. It brings a smile seeing Jimmy and Tal having so much fun playing with him
Rhonda Smith?
You don't need vocals because Jeff Beck can make his guitar sing.
He did it before the other rock guitarists.
rock shouldn't be sung.
Yes...they all know to let Beck take the lead on the last song too...Ive seen them all except Hendrix. Beck is the best. Everyone knows the quote "When Jeff is 'on', he's the best there is". I wholeheartedly agree. Nobody makes a guitar sing like Beck. He just.didnt have the hits. Who cares.

I've always admired great guitar players my whole life. I've always known of Jeff Beck but never allowed myself to listen to more of his playing. Ikr?!! Spent the night at a friend's house several years ago, and after he called it a night, I continued to stay up and watch VH1 Classic. Jeff Beck was playing. I saw something in him that mesmerized me. The way he could make that guitar literally speak to you man. Unlike Page, Hendrix, Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen, he had not only his own unique style, but left you no choice in being a fan. Talented is not the word. This man was born to blow your mind on a guitar with such meaning. RIP JEFF BECK. What you brought to the table is nothing but legendary. ❤
You mean to tell me that you didn't know that Blow by Blow was heralded as a ground breaker? That fact was even mentioned by the mainstream media. Not by some guitar players in their bedrooms. And you didn't know this?
Wenn Page plays rhythm guitar, the lead player must be GOOD!!
He is... I just saw his show at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, October 29th.
Lmao I was thinking the exact same thing….
Almost when he is called Jeff Beck.
Jeff is one of the best but Jimmy doesn’t take a lead because his playing isn’t what it used to be. He even makes a horrible mistake on the Bolero riff at 3:32. Page stopped making music decades ago and is just resting on his laurels. Beck still puts out new albums and tours constantly.
I saw Jeff at Paris Olympia this summer and he was great, execpted at the end when J. Deep arrived on stage, playing more the pirate than guitar :) :)
How can you not love this! RIP...Jeff Beck! 🎸🔥
Can I just say Vinnie Colaiuta is a tremendous drummer.
Beck and Page playing Train Kept A Rollin together again gives me chills.
YARDBIRDS!!!
Absolutely Phenomenal ;) Thanks for sharing this with us
A true star. RIP. The world will never sound the same.
Another great musician gone. RIP Jeff Beck. Jeff is playing on another level now.
He always played on another level.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP JEFF>
oh my God I have no words
Hands down, one of the best guitarists of all time! RIP Jeff Beck. Glad I was privileged to see you playing alongside Carlos Santana back in the 90s. What a sad day for rock and roll.
Jeff & Carlos, whoooaaa. I saw Carlos a couple times.
Here to pay homage to the great man. He was one of a kind!
Jeff Beck and Jimmy are unbelievable
MIND, SOUL AND BODY.....BLOWN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊 WAY
And in the background, Tal Wilkenfeld, is just rocking out soaking up the whole thing. RIP Jeff and thank you.
I wondered. Thanks for confirming
Jeff Beck, Just Best!!! Great player of the guitar truly and going to where some others wait that will be there at the gate! RIP!
These two legends created or at least influenced heavy metal! Becks Bolero was written by Page and Beck in 1966. Genius.
Heavy rock. Heavy metal is a lesser form.
I’d say they’re mostly hard rock. In my opinion Tony Iommi influenced metal more than anyone
Heavy Metal was invented by Steppenwolf. Read the Born to be wild lyrics.
Actually Bolero is a classical tune written by Maurice Ravel. They just jammed around the main motif.
@@andreasoberndorfer5476 Steppenwolf may have used the term, but the bulk of their music, as well as that of Iron Butterfly, were FAR from "Metallic"!
RIP Whammy Bar God
Man what an amazing performance I don't know how Jeff Beck does it but he just touches that damn thing sounds like a freaking orchestra! So cool to see Jimmy playing with him
I've enjoyed Beck for decades. It's been a joy & thrill watching him live again with Johnny Depp. Looks like such kick butt fun & they are great together. Jeff is absolutely the king
@@bellagrace2313 yep 👍
He's one of a kind for sure.
Nothing finer than a man in a suit with an electric guitar playing beautiful music 💜
I watched this last week and told my friend about it the next day. I told him how inspired I was by the humility and masterful musicianship and fun had. It was why I liked music, to begin with. I was left with such gratitude that guys like him were still around. R.I.P. Jeff Beck
So true, that exactly sums it up, 👏🏻🎸💫Jeff !
During "Immigrant Song" you can see how close JB and Page get, then you see the nodding glances JB gives to Pagey. Great to see that respect and friendship there.
Yep one of the best things about being a player 😉!!
yes these 2 phenomenoms were freinds even when they were still nobodies
Good to see them close again becuase they had fallen out for quite awhile with page remarking there was a strange professional jealousy that developed between them but luckily they patched things up .
They've been friends since they were teenagers. What are the odds of a friendship lasting that long, let alone one that brings two phenomenally talented guitarists together professionally without all the ego driven theatrics that other musicians have succumbed to?
Beck, Page, Clapton and Hendrix - the greatest guitarists who ever lived and now we have lost two of them. Beck’s passing breaks my heart. We may never see a talent like his again.
Peter Green was and still is better than Clapton
Ever hear of a guy named Stevie ray
Eddie also
The BEST is not mentioned here:
John McLaughlin. If you appreciate Beck's virtuosity, will be heard in McLaughlich even more Amazing. Only McLaughlin is rather in the Jazz and Fusion on-the-go, because in the Rock.
Der in der Mitte ist McLaughlin.

If you want to see & hear the opinions of all Jeff’s contemporaries - what they think of him as one of the greatest guitarists ever in the music industry - watch Jeff Beck: Still On the Run. When you hear them all say, ‘’There is Jeff Beck…and everybody else,’’ you know one of the top 2-3 guitarists of all time left this earth yesterday. RIP, Jeff.
This is just EXACTLY what you want. Just like Jimmy Page said one time. "It's gonna be loud." That's the purpose of these guitars. Jeff Beck used to burn out those vacuum tubes in the Vox amplifiers he used. Neither one of them babied their equipment with some nice and easy sounds. They're like the Picasso's of experimentation and creativity. What's pathetic, is that music "critics", including goofs on youtube, magazines, etc.., think you can "analyze" what they did. That's convenient, isn't it? AFTER the fact. You can't describe either one of them, and you never will. Both of them took guitar into an entirely different realm where the instrument had never been before. And everybody since, including the amplifier, guitar centre equipment industry, owes EVERYTHING to them. And everybody, including their brother, their sister, their sister's brother, their aunts and uncles, have copied what they've done, and still use what they've done in their own bands and on record labels. Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page started out with sheer force, and NEVER stopped being experts at it! It's too bad their guitar sounds weren't heard in previous centuries.
Say what you want about Axe men, Steve Howe Jerry Garcia were my faves, no one compares to Jeff Beck. Thank you Jeff.
Always liked Beck. But I really learned to respect him from that performance where he just gave the stage to a teenage bass virtuoso, Tal Wilkenfeld.
Yeah, it's cool to see her here as well. It is so much fun to watch her play.
Yeah, and I have a question: why isn’t she and the rest of the band mentioned in the credit-list with Beck, Ron, Page etc?
Lord, please grant me the strength to live without Tal Wilkenfeld in my life. Amen.
Tal is a lot older than she looks
Yeah, 22 at time of the video. A lot older.
R.I.P. Jeff Beck Thank You for all of your fabulous music over all the past years,you will me missed💔
Imagine that 3 of the greatest guitarists who ever lived All came out of the same Group.
yeah of their era...Totally subjective......
@@Humbucker1103 ...right Clapton Page and Beck are totally subjective.🤦♂️
Seeing Jeff with Jimmy made my day. Thier extreme talents remind me why I love music so much!
♥️♥️🎸🎸
Jeff Beck...guitar legend, musical genius. There will never be another who is comparable. And he was as great a man as he was a musician. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rock, blues, even jazz is a little less with his loss. RIP Jeff. You were and still are loved by millions. Not a bad legacy!
Can’t do better than Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Legend.
And Tai on bass
Yeah you can, Bonzo or Jason on drums and JPJ or Andy Fraser on Bass
@@johnthonig8832 Tal
@@markhill9275 Vinnie is by far the better drummer,he just is sorry
The drummer holds it all together which must have been challenge
Jeff does not miss a beat, a note, a breath, just a incredable guitar player! Wow! We are going to miss you Jeff. R.I.P
Guys like Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose and their ability to play such awesome versions of the theme from Peter Gunn as heard by Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose's version of A Town Without Pity bring another dimension to the legacy as guitar gods by exposing another whole genre to their audiences. We are lacking of their talents every day since they have passed yet thanks to this and other video cache collections can hold on to their brilliance.
Thank you.
I love your guitar.
Jeff Beck was great. Page was a mere coadjuvant
A great collection of performances, really great. Beck at his best. Page his old buddy! And all the others...Tal Wilkenfeld!, such a great artist and person.
After Rod Stewart left the band, JB tried a couple of singers, but he couldn't find one that felt and sounded right, so he decided to only do instrumental. He knew it would affect him financially, but he just wanted to make great music and see how far he could take the guitar (which was pretty far). It's all about the music, the craft, for him. That's why he only cares about someone's talent. Beyond Tal, he's had many female musicians in his bands. And "Truth" is one of the greatest albums ever made. I have it on CD, but I still pull out my 40 year old vinyl copy.
Bob Tench was probably his best vocalist after Rod....
That looks like they all had allot of fun on the stage together...RIP Mr. Beck, thanks for goosebumps throughout out the years...your music will live on forever!
You know Johnny Depp is so thankful he’s spent so much time with Jeff these past several months!
I use to play Becks bollero when I was 16 years old IME 65 now and it's still brilliant 🌟
The sounds that came from the depth of his being. A musical giant. You will be missed. RIP
Two of the coolest guys I the world in rock and roll history and two of the best period
(rubbing eyes) Did I really just see that?! How many rock gods can fit on one stage? Truly Amazing.
He played on Beck's Bolero because Jimmy was in the yardbirds with Jeff beck before he left the yardbirds also Keith moon from the who played drums on the studio version of Beck's Bolero in 1967
RIP Jeff Beck. Undoubtedly not the birthday news Jimmy Page wanted, but LORD did they make magic together.
He actually died on the 10th which is Rod Stewart's birthday. That is also kind of bizarre.
In my humble opinion, this is the best band formed by Jeff Beck and the best moment of his career.
Dave and I saw him in Pittsburgh about ten years ago. I met so many friends that I hadn’t seen in years. Every guitar player in town was there to see the “ Master” . It was GUITAR SCHOOL !
Jimmy Page is really a humble man. Giving all the chance to Jeff Beck.
I just want to remind everyone that Jeff starts with Beck's Bolero and then Jimmy joins in for Immigrant Song. They finish with the ending of Beck's Bolero. The second song is the theme from Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini. ua-cam.com/video/oysMt8iL9UE/v-deo.html
We're missing you already.
How can you not love the Peter Gunn theme? Downright dirty👍🎸🥁ROCK ON!❤️
RIP Keith Emerson and Gregg Lake..Peter Gunn live 1979..
Yessss
"Peter Gunn" is the theme music composed by Henry Mancini in 1959.
What a great success to see all these great guitarists gathered, something unforgettable. Congratulations. Rock forever !!!
Imagine getting to share a stage with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, I’d be happy just to say hello
Can I be a puppy with big floppy ears when I do it
Quite a bit better than the Yardbirds.😉 RIP, Jeff. Second-most stylish guitarist, after Hendrix. But page is the riff master. I never got to ask Jeff where he shops for clothes. 🤣
Beck came from rock roots but he was an explorer. He could have put together a Stones or Zeppelin type super group but he was an innovator. He was bored by that. He went to places no one had been before. He created a completely new rock music genre. How many notes did it take to recognize a Jeff Beck song that you had never heard before? One or two. You knew right away it was Beck. Unmistakable. It's one thing to be original and another to be great but Beck was both. Which is rare. Long live Jeff Beck.
RIP Jeff.🙏 I grew up on "Bolero" as a teen after hearing Ravel's version as a youngster. My mom and dad loved his version. At 68, I'm grateful I had the freedom to play some of my music for my parents and that I've been able to see this man reinvent himself every time he picked up a guitar.
I recommend Frank Zappa's version of Bolero I think you will enjoy it!!!
I am 66...yeah ..What a Era of Music..
Jeff worked hard...and then for Fun..
@@WillieDuitt1 Thanks, I'll check it out. Don't think I've ever heard it.
As a guitar player myself I can say without reservation that no one can touch Jeff Beck. He is on another plane altogether. The man is truly the definition of a guitar God!
Buckethead will be able too .....
Larry Coryell?
ua-cam.com/video/Z9dYOoLqwmE/v-deo.html
JB fan since 68 and unfortunately in settings like this the virtuosity is always there but there is no warmth. Not softness or anything weak more depth would be great.
you got THAT right. Becks the best. Thats why the others defer to Beck
@@ronaldmorr9445 To each their own. You have every right to your opinion. I ABSOLUTELY think Jimmy is the GOAT. Almost every person I've ever spoken to believes Jimmy is #1 also.
When two genius and old friends meet!!!
I miss you so bad Jeff Beck. In my eyes, you are the goat. And you are tremendously missed
Also, girl power. Jeff Beck brought a teen bass prodigy on board. And she is awesome.
Born in '86. Therefore she's 23 in this video and was 21 when she played at Crossroads with JB in 2007. So it's close, but she wasn't a teen.
RIP Jeff. You're truly one of the all time greats!!
Two legends playing off each other, rock on !!!!
On the original version the band was Jeff Beck,lead guitar, Jimmy Page rhythm guitar,Ron Wood, played bass,and Keith Moon,drums.
Absolute freedom.
45 years ago. July 3rd turning into July 4th.. 1976 out countries bi-centennial. I was at the Fox Theater in Detroit.. Watching Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer... Blow by Blow tour... Perhaps the best concert I've seen...
Rick Hibdon - As a 15 year old I was also lucky enough to Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group in Feb 1977 at the Hordern Pavilion here in Sydney , Australia. As you know Jeff Beck was in his full on Jazz rock period at that stage and I didn't appreciate the performance at the time , as the 15 year old me was only interested in his Yardbirds/1960s solo work with Rod Stewart, I'm still glad I saw the show in 77 and very glad Beck recorded a live LP with Jan Hammer from that tour as it wasn't till 10/11 years later I fully appreciated his 1975-1980 Jazz rock phase, I've subsequently seen him twice over over the last 15 years here in Sydney at the Enmore theatre down the road from my place , both times with Aussie bassist Tal Wikenfield and Narada Michael Walden on drums - fantastic shows and I got Jeff's autograph . 🎸👍😎
Blue wind!
