Listening to this solo again - Jeff showcases literally everything that every guitarist tries to do technically, in that single solo, but in a way that transcends mere technique and adds to the song. A master of his craft and instrument in every way - thank you for the memories Jeff, and RIP
“Jeff do your thing son!” And so he did, and then some, for over half a goddamn century. RIP Jeff. You were truly one of a kind, in the best way imaginable.
Jeff Beck RIP sir, you were one of the greatest guitarists and musicians of all time. I grew up listening to real musicians like you and Stevie Wonder. You will be missed.
RIP Jeff Beck... The amount of times I've watched his performances on repeat, & they always seem to get better. Legend doesn't do Jeff Beck justice... I enjoyed watching his joy playing the guitar almost as much as the music itself
That's what you got out of watching the Stevie Wonder performance, the skinny guitar guy filling as a guest? Red Hat Trump Circus member? Cadet Trump-Putin is expired and going to jail.
This is insanely great. The drummers, the horn players, the entire band, Stevie, Jeff and I almost felt sorry for the back-up singers being drowned out, until Stevie gives them a minute to shine. Absolutely spectacular.
Yes. 🥰 Watch how Jeff instinctively switches to bridge PU @3:34. He is a true musician's musician with great ears, rather than a showoff circus pony like so many other stars. RIP. 😭
@@markusbaldingen7248Jeff Beck-Tards sound like Trumpy Dumpies. Slobbering over the guest not the true talent Stevie Wonder. Sad about Coo Clucks MagaDump Bowel Movement. Americans don't sway Trump-Putin and Beck-Tards apparently aren't up to speed yet.
As one documentary put it-“Jeff Beck,a man for all seasons”. He can play any genre,and will when needed.As Eric Clapton once said about Beck-Jeff’s got notes on his guitar no one else has”.
Jeff Beck transcends any classification or constraint with his virtuosity, yet he can disappear into the pocket and drive the groove to another level too. Unbelievable....
Another Clapton quote was in response to a journalist asking "How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist of all time?" And Clapton is supposed to have said "You'll have to ask Prince."
Vero. Sto scoprendo ora Jeff Beck e devo dire che è eccezionale, suona anche in un modo molto particolare. Io aggiungo anche Jimmy Page, che per me in realtà resta il migliore. Per quanto riguarda Clapton penso che sia sopravvalutato. Sono tre modi diversi di suonare, poi ci sono i gusti personali. Comunque i tre sono loro che se la giocano. Hendrix permettendo...
Ooooh!! I'll never get tired of this.. Stevie, Jeff, the horns, the singers.. The whole band!! It don't get any better than this. Thanks for posting this!
Great live version with an all-star cast of musicians! Jeff was enjoying himself that night and his smile after his first solo break at 2:21 says it all. Jeff Beck was about the magic of music and not the money or fame. He was thrilled to be on stage with Stevie Wonder and a smoking hot band and yes, he certainly did his "thing" as per Stevie's request...
Stevie is my childhood IDOL singer. This performance is absolutely AWESOME!!! Jeff Beck was one of my favourite guitarists growing up. How can you wrong with these guys??? And the rest of the band, the backing singers.... The WHOLE THING is flawless.
Is it me or was that a not so good guitar solo played by Beck at 1:27. Seems like Beck is trying too hard and the tone of Beck's guitar does not match the R&B song. Beck showed no dynamics and he stayed in one Pentatonic position during this whole solo. Stevie Wonder should have gotten Prince up there, it would have been MUCH better. ua-cam.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/v-deo.html
People forget that Stevie Wonder was the first bridge between R & B and Hard Rock when he „ opened“ for the Stones o reach a new audience and blew audiences away. With Jeff Beck it’s the pinnacle. Thanks gentlemen and the uploaded.
The smile on Jeff Beck when he walks on stage…this is just such a kickass live version of a classic, and a time when I think we had our priorities straight. Yea, Stevie and Jeff go back in time because they were there. We’re jammin New Jersey, too!
Just smiling and crying at the same time while watching. They are 2 of the most greatest, brilliant and ingenious musicians of our time. Thanks to bless us with all your music.
They wrote it together - THIS is the version that should have been. Although Stevie did just fine with his own version(where he played almost all of the instruments). One of the greatest displays of joyous musical energy EVER.
They didn't write it together Stevie wrote this for Jeff Beck but his management refused to allow him to give it to him so in return he wrote because we ended as lovers for jeff
Stevie supposedly didn't want "rock guitar" on his records me thinks, which is why Jeff's power trio (back then) recorded a completely different version of it, but I prefer the original bounce of the song the middle eight needed a little more flair and Jeff filled it perfectly.
@@briancarvalho7852 Stevie heard Beck playing the drums, and wrote it based on the tune Beck was drumming. Beck should have gotten a writers credit based on that, but Stevie wrote the song otherwise.
@@truthhandler6828 Vinnie Colaiuta? I saw him in 99-2000 no idea who the drummer was then but was no one special. Wish I could have seen him with Vinnie.
@@truthhandler6828 he had already had a career since the 70’s with Zappa. One of the best of all time and he plays everything from jazz to rock to pop. Everything besides metal I guess lol.

He looks like he has aged a lot now I know what you mean but I think part of it is bc he has a mullet and going bald. One of those guys who won’t cut their hair when it falls out.
I'll write a different angle on Jeff's guitar playing. It's not only a musicians skills how well you can play a instrument. What goes on in that persons mind also reflects on the music being played. What Jeff plays is beyond amazing. Find me another guitar player who can play like him. Jeff! We are going to miss you beyond words and tears. Thank You! Hope a roadie was waiting for you with a guitar.When you took your journey too the other side!
Whenever someone goes on about Eric Clapton, I'm sorry, but Beck's got it all over him. I'm not taking anything away from Clapton's skill - he's a better guitarist than I'll ever be! - but Beck is just plain better. Hands down.
Stevie brought the crowd to tears of joy when I saw him in the hotter than July tour in the 80’s. Beck a master talent with unlimited class that always shows. Great collab by this pair who wrote it together if I am not mistaken!
You are not mistaken. Jeff was fooling around on a drum set during a lull in the "Talking Book" sessions, & when Steve heard the beat he wrote the words & music. He was going to give the song to Jeff as payment for Jeff's studio work on the album - but when Stevie's mgmt heard it the saw what a monster the song would be & said "No f*ckin' way!" so
The magnitude of your refs & tones behind the stringsHave not been duplicated by many pure musical genius the music the music the music gods speed Jeff
I discovered Jeff when Truth came out in '68. If you've never heard Ain't Superstitious then you definitely need to look it up. Beck makes sounds that you've never heard from a guitar. Also, Truth was the old Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood on bass. They'll never be another like him. Thanks for 55 years of amazing music Mr Beck.
Holy Moly, this is what Funk is all about ! Soul, R&B & a whole.lot of Stax. Loved this groove from way back in the 70s & it still lifts my 76 year old body into its groove. Stevie really lays it down like a blanket of love. ❤🎉😊 Now go listen to the Talkingbook album, it's overflowing with greatness !😅
Actually, if you study Jeff and Jimi’s history, Hendrix is 2 years older and both started professionally in 1963-63. So really neither proceeded the other. They were contemporaries
Fully agree!, Jeff i smy favorite out of the masters! Check out Roy Buchanan for the ultimate in looking bored while playing the hell out of his guitar
No, he smiled _a lot_ -- check out the 50th Anniv. Hollywood Bowl show, esp. the songs where Jan Hammer is manning the keyboards. I've never seen musicians looking as happy as they all look. There's a great moment where Jonathan Joseph rips a mind-blowing fill, Jeff gets a "WTF?" expression on his face, looks over at Jan, tHen back to JJ -- and flips him the bird. JJ cracks up so hard I can't believe he doesn't drop a beat. But they're all making eye contact & smiling at each other. Having the musicians making such tight, powerful, melodic music & _having an absolute _*_blast_* doing it warms the cockles.
Wow! Speechless. RIP Jeff Beck. The music world has lost another great. Prayers for peace and comfort for Jeff's wife and family, his close friend and music partner J.D. and all who loved him!! 💙🙏
Blah. Beck was good. He wasn't any SRV, BB King, Albert Collins, Lifeson, Page, Iommi, Gilmour etc etc. Just a guy good at keeping up with good acts. Stevie Wonder carried Beck.
@@Greg-io1ip what a contrarian lol he shit all over gilmour and lifeson, cut his teeth with page in the 60’s and atleast he could come up with original riffs unlike page the most celebrated plagiariser in rock history
Going to make this real simple for you. I am 74 now and I have been blessed to have seen and heard all the great guitarists. Jeff Beck was and is the best in my lifetime. Period
As I get older, and after having enjoyed most of the classic rock guitar players, I think Jeff Beck is the most accomplished and astonishing guitar hero of the modern era...
Crikey Jeff! You had it all! The Look, the style, etc! Nobody else on this Earth could extract a more variation of sound from a six string instrument and never will in my lifetime! God Bless you 'Legend'! dx
2:21 that smile of satisfaction after having pulled off a short piece of music utterly impossible for the rest of humanity. This performance is a collaboration five decades too late.
Jeff Beck was doing session work for Wonder ('Talking Book' album). Wonder stepped back into the studio after a break and Beck was on the drums, playing the simple groove that starts this tune. Wonder said, Keep it going, then proceded to jam along. He put words to it and gave it to Jeff as a gift of friendship. When Motown president Berry Gordy found out he pulled the tune back (he owned the rights to everything Wonder did), so Wonder did it first, and Beck followed with it on the BB&A album.
WOW! Unbelievable version. Stumbled upon it... Always been a fan of Beck and Wonder. Have a lot of their lP's. Always, always, loved the horns in this. Everything was beyond perfect! WOW!
Man!! That band is flat out cooking! I think Jeff Beck makes everyone sound better. Stevie is so humble as well as Jeff. Man would I loved to have seen this !!
This was meant to be played by both of these two World Treasures! I'm glad to have lived in a time where they walked the earth! We are so lucky to have been here. Play all of their music for your kids and grandchildren! They'll be better off for it and will be glad you did!

Listening to this solo again - Jeff showcases literally everything that every guitarist tries to do technically, in that single solo, but in a way that transcends mere technique and adds to the song. A master of his craft and instrument in every way - thank you for the memories Jeff, and RIP
yep...among many other ground breaking guitar techniques, Jeff perfected the use of a whammy bar...without often using one. 😂🎸🎼🤘
LOL, SO TRUE . MAN I MISS HIM ALREADY !!!
Derp derp derp... It's a Stevie Wonder immense talent you watched and apparently too racist to notice. Trumptards.
How often do you get to experience two geniuses at the same time? I'm honored
You can tell Jeff was happy with that solo. So were we. RIP, mate.
It's how he brings it back home so smoothly - chops and musicality.
Every time I see a video with Jeff I get very emotional and just ball my eyes out. By far my favorite guitarist. Love you so much. R I. P. Jeff.
How 'bout Chet Atkins?
“Jeff do your thing son!”
And so he did, and then some, for over half a goddamn century.
RIP Jeff. You were truly one of a kind, in the best way imaginable.
R.I.P. Jeff Beck. Absolute mind boggler of a solo here. Such an inspiration, will be sorely missed ❤️
You got here before I did. This is the first thing I thought of when I heard he had passed.
Verdade. Tenho 63 anos e curto Jeff Beck a anos. 😪
That lick at 2:33 alone is mind boggling. RIP Jeff
Vernon Reid was obviously influenced a lot by Jeff Beck, they have similar techniques !!

But some of us hate the sounds with a lack of melody coming from his guitar.

Damn! Just Damn! This collaboration is miles above every other version I have heard.
Jeff in his late 70's and still fresh.
Because he was for real.
Not a gimmick.

@@redhouaneboulechbak8316 Maybe. But Berry Gordy had total control over Stevie Wonder.
WOW! Unbelievable version. Stumbled upon it... Always been a fan of Beck and Wonder. Have a lot of their lP's. Always, always, loved the horns in this. Everything was beyond perfect! WOW!
OK, there's officially nothing and no one cooler than Jeff Beck.
"Nothing more to say"
i say stevie wonder is equally cool
Badass
You got that from this??
Everybody on the stage served this particular song more than Beck, as hard as he tried.
Jeff Beck is God!!!
Prince.
Beck is definitely in the top five of most innovative guitarist in history. His Blow by Blow album is epic.
This is such smoking hot track. My goodness. . . Beck plays so well in front of that horn section. . . the guy can do anything. Wow
Masterpiece of two heroes.
Genius Knows Genius.
He grew tired of us and he left.
A guitar created by the Gods and given to man.
Fair winds and following seas.
Man!! That band is flat out cooking! I think Jeff Beck makes everyone sound better. Stevie is so humble as well as Jeff. Man would I loved to have seen this !!
This was meant to be played by both of these two World Treasures! I'm glad to have lived in a time where they walked the earth! We are so lucky to have been here. Play all of their music for your kids and grandchildren! They'll be better off for it and will be glad you did!
I'm so grateful having seen Jeff three times live after waiting for this to happen for .... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Rip humble hero and long life dear Stevie
Some love for the trumpet and saxophone artists, please.. Wonderful song. Absolute blast!
