"Cause We've Ended As Lovers" written by Stevie Wonder
Jeff was the best, still hurts that he is gone.
That moment and solo has helped make the world take notice of Tal. She's a gem of a bass player. Play on Tal
My respect for Jeff Beck has been a part of my life for 60 years. RIP Jeff we will always miss you.
Los Angeles
I love watching you play with Jeff: of course the music is fine as hell, but the on-stage chemistry between the two of you is such a charming bonus. The Ronnie Scott's concert is one of the very few UA-cam videos that I keep going back to and watching over and over again.
Yo también tengo la misma apreciación !. Me gusta como se comunican con las miradas...se nota ese fiato!
I have the bluray and it's such a treasure! 🙂
The really crazy thing about this clip is that this is not even her best solo on So We've Ended. The Ronnie Scott's solo is a MILLION times more amazing than the Crossroads one. Jeff was so blown away at Ronnie Scott's that he literally COULD NOT PLAY his solo when she was finished. He just stood there grinning at her for 16 bars before he started his. Tal is a goddess, and truly one of the most epic bassists of our generation. Also, don't sleep on her solo jazz album, Transformation. Top shelf stuff! RIP Jeff!
That Ronnie Scott's solo is one of my absolute favorite things ever.
+1 For the Ronnie Scott’s solo. The musicianship is fantastic by the whole band, and the sense of kindness and generosity all around is a big part of what makes me and the audience connect with the band and feel the love swirling around. Wonderful, Tal.
Tal’s great 🤷🏻 but I am sure you’ve been told at least 10,000,000 times not to exaggerate - 🤩🙀✨
Look for the 2009 Quebeck solo (It´s on youtube)
checked out her studio recording video ofwich shes lipsynching in the studio ?
and checked out her elton john tribute concert ofwich the audience hadto be mask'dup 'yet not her or the band or elton or his entire entourage'
'you can have her'
shes not a legit person
just a semi-talented sellout'
cause only a sellout sells their audience 'out (simpl' ,,,
A beautiful demonstration of what the upper cut-out on a guitar is for! A superfine solo to boot!
I was there. It was an amazing summer day. Thank you, Lyle for the extra ticket! The weather was hot and the music was even hotter 🔥. I didn’t realize it at the time how fortunate we were. I always felt like I was born too late and wished I had grown up seeing shows in the 60’s/70’s. However, I look back now and I was still a part of a very special time (80’s, 90’s, early 2000’s) of Live music. I was still able to see many of my heroes some pretty amazing shows. I’m very grateful for it 🙏🏼.
Loved the Lex Fridman interview and thank you for this, love your play! Your music!
Jeff's passing has left a hole in the Universe that can never be filled.
I really enjoyed this interview Tal. 👍✌️
On my bucket list was to see Jeff Beck perform live. Through amazing karma, was fortunate enough to have a center stage front row seat for his Austin, Texas performance a year ago. And then he passed away. I'm so sad yet so grateful for that opportunity and to have thoroughly appreciated his music since the '70s with Blow by Blow onward. Thank you to the universe for Jeff Beck's wonderful talent and guitar mastery.
It's so much fun to see you play, with pure joy, thank you for many beautiful moments.
that was such a moment! but the way it has endured is spectacular...
As much of an honor it would be to play with Jeff Beck, as a bassist it must be equally so with Vinnie Colaiuta. Also, Jason Rebello.
When the sum of 2+2 is way more than 16 👏 Listening to the beautiful music these 4 created together is joyous.
Today I loaned my bass to a friend’s daughter who has just started learning. She’s gonna try it and decide whether to go full size route with mine, or 3/4 size. She’s13. I hope she goes full size and grows into it. I gave her a bag of heavy picks as well. Seems fortuitous to see this vid pop up in my feed.
❤❤ such talented in a young ladies body. And Jeff Beck wow iam still in shock a year later.RIP.❤
Such a fabulous woman , I’ve seen her and Jeff live and it was truly mind blowing.
Jeff is one of the biggest influences in my planying, but also for improvisation
I remember seeing this video years ago now, and was completely blown away by both you guys, but then also the drummer and keyboard is because everyone nailed their parts and just played off each other so well!
I wish I could’ve met Jeff , but I was able to acquire one of his guitars, and I did a tribute song for him using the licks I learned through the years and improvisation, and I used my Jeff Beck Strat!
I’m stoked for the future you’ve carved for yourself and wish nothing but the best for you Tal!
This is the performance where I discovered Tal and her incredible playing. Her and Jeff Beck together on stage was a musical match made in heaven.
This exact performance was the first time I ever truly felt like a bass solo served to make a song stronger. And that is being said as a proud bassist.
She's so lucky to have gotten to play with these guys. Even their drummer was amazing. That tour was awesome!
Angel Footsteps from the same concert is a MUST!
Totally amazing musician. Luv ya Tal.
Very interesting insight to "stage fright", that adrenaline rush, it'll get ya. When I first started playing out I was a teen and had no fear, then when I got older I started second guessing, getting nervous, it took me a long time to figure out I was playing with the wrong people plus over thinking the crowd, they're just there to have a good time. I think if a band leader or say lead singer has diva issues and makes a hostile environment it can affect performance, Jeff's approach is to make it a fun thing and that ends up reflecting in everyone's playing, they're at ease and happy and they play at their very best. RIP Mr. Beck
The most genuine bass artist.
Incredibly Beautiful and honest.
What's not to love and revere?
She has become more beautiful ❤️
This is such a great moment. Jeff Beck may not have the biggest "star" in the world, but he certainly was if you were a musician. I think it's a beautiful gesture that he gave this at the time unknown young lady such a spotlight. Funny thing is that Beck had a reputation for being difficult to work with when he was young - the moody and volatile rock guitarist. He obviously mellowed. He was still at his peak when he died last year. The outpouring of love for Beck at his passing was wide and deep. He also made me a big fan of Tal.
Vulnerable. What a great way to explain music.
Amazing lady.
What a lovely lady. Pure class act!
She's so epic.. I'm so inspired
Legendary bass player ❤
i used to have a major crush on this woman.,
i still have a crush on this woman.
one of the best episodes of lex's show. ty. i heard you play before, this was my 1st time to hear You and i aint gonna kiss your a** like rest of the commeneters here, you know who and what you are and i see that.
You are so captivating, in many ways. Your mind and talent is beyond impressive. It's a wonderful experience to hear your thoughts and how you translate your vision into music. Thank you for doing what you do. It's incredibly inspiring.
I saw them in 2009 at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, small venue, best concert I've ever seen and I was at Van Halen 1.
So good.
Tal Wilkenfeld : Natural
Tal, I just love your playing. My first introduction to you was seeing a clip of the Jeff Beck show from Ronnie Scott's, which I guess was filmed a few months after the Crossroads festival. I think you left the audience stunned with the solo on that one. Jeff even kind of missed his cue after it. One of my absolute favorite musical performances ever, anywhere.
I did not know that Stevie wrote this. But it is great!!!!!!
A brilliant musician. Virtuoso... 🎸 🤟🤟✌️❤️
👣🌋🔥❤️🔥❤️✌️💜
…. And with Vinnie on the drums??? Another legend.
Been a long time. Thanks for posting this! You are looking good. 'Nuther jazz album possible?
THX 🙏
I saw this video. I'd say Mr. Beck was just being honest. She was killing it.
I’ve never seen Tal show fear. She’s a pro, what’s to be afraid of!
Tal, you have enhanced all of Jeff's performances, what a joy to reflect on his legendary life. ❤️🌟❤️

Psalm 112:4 - Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
As if being a Guitar God wasn't enough, Beck promoted a lot of young musicians, especially women. I miss him so.
Tal is just cool, she knows exactly what she's doing, true prfessional
First time I saw Tal was a quick clip of that solo from the Ronnie Scott gig-SO I BOUGHT THE DVD TO SEE THE WHOLE THING.
I actually thought she was Jeff's kid, lol.
Had to be, playing like that.
Tal is so gorgeous, every time i see her i fall in love.
If I’m not mistaken there was another point in the gig where she improved a mean ass jam and everyone was floored.
One of the baddest female bass players on the planet! 🙌💪🔥
Music critics, reporters always want to create competition. Music isn't a competition to me.
Do you have a follow-up in the works to Love Remains? That's a good album, and the songs were even better live.
SomeThing about how She "Embraces" her Instrument
How has 1:32 she not aged in 20 years!?
She rocked that solo! Not an ugly bass player, lol
Jeff was an explorer trapped in a musicians body. 🤔
Jeff gave her a huge break here but she never bothered to play at his memorial concert in London. Shame.
Could this interviewer look any more disinterested in what you're saying? Totally unprofessional and disrespectful. I sorry on his behalf you had to endure that. This is what happens when people think because they have a computer and a mic that they're instantly great hosts/interviewers. This guy is clearly NOT. You Tal, however were, as expected, very gracious. Good on ya!
That guy is probably the worst interviewer ever.
Looking at notes while talking to the person is hardly engaging with the subject.
It shows a total lack of knowledge and professionalism
I absolutely share your opinion, Pete. How does this interviewer have so many subscribers? A banker or undertaker after two days of a hangover, a dying voice, and the dumbest questions you can ask a high-profile musician like Tal. I would have liked to watch the entire interview, but after 3 minutes, I had to switch it off. The interviewer's arrogant and obviously unprofessional manner is a disappointment. I'm usually very reserved with web criticism, but this was really out of line.
hm' well she has her audience wear masks whilst she dosnt
'sellout'101'
and as over'rated as'it gets ,,
Nice to see Lex take a break from right wing grifters and pseudoscientists
can this interviewer be more disinterested? his 'spontaneous' quest, he read it word for word. ataring away, drinking, looking down. this was just bizar
How do you interview a lady of her stature then look all over the place and take a swig of your coke while she is talking?
watched her elton john tribute concert ofwich the audience hadto be mask'dup 'yet not her or the band or elton or his entourage (what ? was the covid-boogeyman only on 1'side of the room ?
either of you'two sellout'geniuses
want to explain that ?
(nópe'
didnt think-so ,,
That 2007 performance was the first time I had ever heard of Tal, and I was blown away by her skill and stage presence!.
Googled her right then and there
@@ImaDogTrainer Same... I thought that because of how young she looked that maybe she was his daughter. She really rocketed onto the scene with that performance.
While anti jew is the trend right now
Go watch the show at Ronnie’s
Incredible
Damn, lady, you are a class act. I've probably watched that concert, and the Live at Ronnie Scotts concert, more times than I care to admit. The four of you on that stage were mesmerizing. Few bands got me the way that one did. Your story is legendary and your talent deserves more attention than it has garnered. *Love Remains* is a great body of work. I would love to hear more originals from you.
Great when Lex said You really stood up (re that solo) yet without batting an eyelid you gave all credit to Mr Beck 👍
It is wonderful to watch your performances with Jeff -- such musical magic!
I'm so glad we live in the video age, that epic video shows your confidence and mastery of the bass. It would be a shame if we could not see this performance.
Tal I have been following your career for years. You are an incredible musician and performer. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world! R.I.P. Jeff.🎸🎸🎸🕊🕊🕊😎
I just love that she is such a kickass bassist...
This guy always reminds me of "The Chris Farley Show". He's always like, "Remember that... that thing you did that one time? Wasn't that awesome?"
it’s a 101 question, the answer is wise.
Why does the guy interviewing you look like a lawyer? Who in the right mind does an interview with an artist and goes like "Yea, i think im going with a corporate look" 🤨 And then he said "But you really stepped up there", like can this guy even think like a musician, how is one supposed to respond to that, with "Thanks"? No, that appears ego driven and of course, she was amazing in that solo, the whole concert was legendary, but man, construct some intelligent questions that will pleasantly surprise the guest, dont be unintentionally a jerk. When you compliment an artist, first think an artist will do is to think about the reaction to that compliment, dont make the creator think, make him FEEL and enjoy, make him be relaxed and he will bless you with stories you never thought asking.
The greatest guitar player that I have ever seen live in concert @ The International Amphitheater in Chicago. 50 plus years later, After seeing Beck I am still awestruck by the sheer talent Jeff Beck possessed. He's probably playing Blue Wind in heaven right now 😊.God rest his soul.😊
Respectfully,Jeff Beck never played @ The International Amphitheatre, but he hit so many other Chicago venues. What year are you referring to?
1974 . Beck, Bogart and Appice headlined, opening act was Roy Buchanan was on the undercard with Tucky Buzzard opening act. @@deanoppergoalieclinics834
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the thumbnail. Two of my favorite people just decided to show up on your feed! :) Love you Tal, you freaking cutest of legends.
I bought the Crossroads DVD when it came out, still have it! I can remember what I thought at the time: Who is this young lady with the curly hair on bass who obviously has had some training?
Tal, I've loved you since 2007, you're the best! ❤
My wife and I were at that show. NO ONE knew who Tal was at the time, but, boy, she was definitely the talk of the show afterwards!
Your solo on Lovers lit the place up! It still does! Killing Me in front of Who fans was cool! Chelsea Hotel too. Hey Tal, have you ever checked out Allan Holdsworth?
Thanks to God that He Sent Tal Wilkenfeld to this world ❤.. Love from India..
And Florida via Memphis Tennessee
Mohini Dey from India smokes her. I love Tal but Mohini is ....levels above.
Tal is one of the very very best ❤️👍
My son and I were there. I was amazed, he was in love!
Just saw a good chunk of your Pod with Lex and you are such a beautiful expression. 😊 Since you are on such a beautiful spiritual path I wanted you to check out the invitation by Mooji. If u haven't heard of him and u somehow see this, check him out. Direct and most simple pointings and he changed me forever on Aug 30th 2020. You are blessed in every way beautiful. 😊 One Love.
Tal, I've been trying to get my mojo back after Covid-19 and the loss of so many mentors. Jeff Beck, Edie Van Halen and to me even John Prine I will try to find your e-mail and chat that way too but what I want to to do is jam! Before you or I die, lets jam!!! Keep the Faith....Top Jimmy
You spoke some very true words about being a perfectionist. When I was younger in the 1970s, I was in a few garage bands. We were always trying to play perfect and it would wear the band down. It made playing not fun. In the last band I was in during the 2000s. I made sure everyone knew that each and every one of us would screw up and it was up to the other band members to cover for us. And that we were playing for fun and the music. Sometimes we screwed up as a band and just stopped playing a song because it just didn't work that night. But we had fun and the audience didn't mind, when we told them why.
Tal's solo in that performance is forever etched in my memory. Unbelievable!
Love Jeff Beck but I've seen him get a little pompous in situations where he felt his colleagues were inferior. I wish I'd never seen that side. Maybe he just had moments occasionally like us mortals.
I could listen to that trio forever - Jeff, Tal & Vinnie....Does not get any better! even Cream, Rush, Guitar Trio (with the master McLaughlin) or any other jazz trio that ever joined forces
รักเธอเสมอ😊
Class… chemistry… a match made in heaven ❤️
Nice
❤✌✌✌❤
C'est n'importe quoi les solos de basse....passe a la guitare ou a la trompette ...
She's the whole Package, nothing missing. The best to you Tal~
Just don't mess with the hair...so sexy.
Playing with Jeff at Ronnies was my introduction to her Amazing playing. What a fantastic bass player!
I hope to God she is not a far right Putin loving nut job. (The same for far left nut job.) i.e. Lex to a different guest: "Did it break your heart to have to testify against President Trump?" I liked the world of music before everyone decided to let the world know what their politics are. But, here we are. We are judged by the company we keep. Lots of love for this world class musician.
Just take the moments you've had and use them to inform your future. Run with it. And run just as far as you can. Smile, laugh, cry and enjoy yourself as you do so. Try to eclipse the sun. That, my friend, is the point of existence. To run and play along this course of life with which we've been blessed, and doing so by following your muse with the talents and tools provided you. This is what it's all about. Good luck with your play along your way!
John~
Tul and Beck have created a unique and timeless chemistry through sound🌟🎸〜♫
