Rest in peace to one of the best guitarists ever. This man was truly a musical genius.
🎸🎶😧
Right
Truly. Thanks for the music Mr Beck
Great they were true friends too
Coolb dude!! I’m not even a good 😮😮!! fan
"Jeff, do your thing, son!"
Stevie knows greatness. RIP Jeff Beck
Jeff wrote the riff for Stevie years ago
Like attracts like.
@@djizzah other way round man, stevie for jeff
@@djizzah Jeff was on drums, Stevie on keys when they wrote the riff together.
Stevie knows greatness, even when he can't see it- say it, it's all good. These Brothers are Masters.
The Master Blasters Jammin 😁
This is the best version of Superstition that I’ve ever heard. The band is on fire, and well, Jeff Beck is Jeff Beck.
Agreed. It has so much more than the studio version!
Check out beck bogert and appice version. Thats why jeff beck is in this.
Me: “I completely agree with this dude. I’m gonna respond.”
Opens the comment, sees my own response from 8 months ago.
“Hmm”
Sure
then you must be going deaf
Jeff Beck doesn’t really play the guitar, he coaxes and conjures sounds from somewhere in the universe and makes them pass through his guitar.
Beck is incredible. Saw him ion Rochester, NY a few years ago. Best concert Ive seen in years and years. He always delivers!'
Ok doofus 🖖
@@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 Huh
@@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. I first heard him with Sting my drum teacher told me about him as a teenager. I play drums and guitar. 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.
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 !!
Stevie Wonder carried his own song with top performance... And racist Trumpliklans only "Beck Beck Beck!" Repulsive.
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.
You can tell Jeff was happy with that solo. So were we. RIP, mate.
How often do you get to experience two geniuses at the same time? I'm honored
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.
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.
My guitar God
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”.
Well spoken Mr. Eric Clapton!
I’m agreeing, but can I add John Mayer?
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...
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
Well said. I saw him perform with BB King in 2003 in Madison, WI. Could see the joy on his face when he was playing.
I enjoyed watching Stevie digging it too.
@@c.a.t.732 Yeah, Beck plays that one riff and Stevie skips the second verse; just gives it to Beck.
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.
@@Greg-io1ipslow your roll, if you jerk Stevie off any harder you might make him blind....
RIP Jeff thank you for your display of brilliance and innovation in music…
UNDERRATED ? Are you having a laugh !
Underrated??? Ummm.. no. That's like saying Robert Plant is an underrated singer.
Nothing Underrated About Jeff Beck 🎸
Actually, he's idolized and rightfully rated as perhaps the best ever. Maybe you live on another planet.
The genius of Jeff Beck is unquestionable
But some of us hate the sounds with a lack of melody coming from his guitar.
Albert Einstein was a genius🙂🐸
RIP Mr. Beck. Thanks for all the great music. 🎸🎶
2 absolute legends! Let's praise them endlessly everyday while they are alive!!! Let's not wait till they're gone.
RIP Jeff Beck :-(
Prophetic words my friend. RIP Jeff
Rip
@@froufrou4you 😱 😳!!!!
I just found out and feel like I'm dreaming!!!
@@markevans1968 8 months later.. 🙏😢
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.
Give a Bit of Credit to Stevie Ray that covered this tune also. This Version is Insane!!!!!
@@ministrychicago1 yeah it's too bad it only shows up on one live album in srv's catalogue.
@@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.
He doesn't play the guitar, he makes it sing
@2:20 - That is the grin of a man who knows he just killed it. Looks like that's the moment it sank in how epic this is.
lol right
Stevie and Jeff on the same stage - unreal talent level!!!!
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.
He was the yardstick by which all other guitar players were measured. He will be deeply missed.
And he was with the Yardbirds as well, no pun
R.I.P. Stick Bird
lets not blow things out of proportion
The industry standard
I remember reading how Stevie Wonder collaborated with the late Jeff Beck on this song. They managed to breathe fresh energy into this live rendition.
I never seen anyone make guitar playing look as easy as jeff, hes so good he almost looks bored playing, and i mean that in a great way
Except Jimi Hendrix
@@jordistone true although jeff preceded jimi by many years and no doubt influenced him
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
He makes his playing look absolutely effortless!!
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
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.
Thankyou for sharing this. I did not know
Well.Seems to me JB got done again.Stevie's record is still great,though.
Greedy Gordy = Blacksploitation
From 1972 Stevie had totl control ownership over his music
@@redhouaneboulechbak8316 Maybe. But Berry Gordy had total control over Stevie Wonder.
Stevie Wonder was always a blind man with a vision.
+Joe Bryant Nicely put
+Javier Farje how very true I think the man's a genius
man this is deep
I saw him Hyde park unbelievable m8
what the title of this song?
RIP Jeff. But holy hell how good is Stevie and his band? Masters!
I mean imagine having gigs in Stevie Wonder's band on your resume. Hard to beat :)
How does his voice just get better?! I thought he was already at the top of his game in the 70s. Amazing.
This is the original key too; a lot of the big-name vocalists have to key down as they get older, but not this one :)
@@dhabu9017 Black don’t crack! Stevie is Amazing. RIP Jeff Beck.
what's up with the thumbs down, have some respect for Stevie you fools...
Some respect for Beck
RIP Jeff Beck. You lit up the music world and made it brighter.
Amen!
RIP Jeff Beck. Loved seeing him *smile*, and the adulation from the crowd.
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!
Jeff Beck is in a class by himself. I'm heartbroken that his life was cut so short. RIP, Mr. Beck. You will be truly missed.
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
@@Greg-io1ipnot to mention Hendrix preferred Beck over Page from what we know
When Stevie smiles like that, you KNOW it’s a good jam!
Wonderful !
Yeah buddy!
Jeff Beck, true virtuoso, jamming and innovating til the end. RIP King.
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.
I agree. Everything was beyond perfect! So enjoyable...
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
fucking hell jeff slayed that riff...jesus christ
Jeff Beck co-wrote "Superstition" with Stevie Wonder. ..
RIP Jeff Beck, a rare talent who could make a guitar sing - a huge loss to the music world x
Jeff & Stevie, who could ask for more! Both favorites of mine for over 50 years !!!!
First time I've even see Jeff Beck smile...everybody loves Stevie...as they should
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!
Agreed, Tim Byrd.
Whoever mixed and recorded this is an absolutely genius. Everything is so clean and audible, yet still has that live shimmer to it.
There’s a story here, many of you may know, but some may not. Beck played at least on one SW song, on Talking Book I think. SW to return the favor, wrote Beck a song, Superstition. Beck, however, didn’t record it right away. Before he could, Barry Gordie of Motown heard the song and said to SW “no f@cking way are you giving that song away.” He made SW record and release it first. Beck eventually recorded it too, but it was nowhere near as popular as the original SW version. So, as compensation, Stevie wrote Beck another song, “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” which Beck recorded and is one of his best known songs. So, there you go. I think that’s mostly right.
I didn't know the details but I heard many years ago (when was this song popular? the 70s?) that Stevie had written the song for Beck. I thought I'd heard something about Beck having some superstition that Stevie was telling him to let go of. Don't know for sure and my memory of 45 years ago could be a bit foggy. A great version of a great song here for sure!
@@andrewz4537 Cause we’ve ended as Lovers,” wrote SW for his then wife Syreetha. Later this song is recorded by JB on his "Blow by Blow" album in 1975, his best album ever.
Who cares if facts are correct. Dang Cool Story.
I heard that JB was fiddling around on a drum kit & came up with the basic Superstition groove. SW took that & laid on like 20 clav tracks overnight. They (I think it was actually Stevie) eventually recut the drum track & added a bunch of horns & whatnot so there's no JB on the original track, but he was there at its inception.
Jeff Beck: “Stevie gave me Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers as an apology for releasing Superstition first"
.
Jeff Beck is a SUPERSTAR!
Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest voices, talents,BRILLIANT
What's interesting about this song is, Jeff always wanted to get together with Stevie and write some songs together. Jeff one day was visiting with Stevie and was sitting at the drum kit and told Stevie he had this drum beat he wanted to write a song over it. So Jeff played the beat and Stevie loved it. Unfortunately they never got together to write songs. Time passes and Stevie remembered the beat and he wrote a song over it. This is that drum beat that Jeff played for him that day.
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...
Truth.
“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.
Hard to believe Jeff Beck came up with this song, on the drums!
The story goes that some time ago, Jeff spent a year practicing Drums. He had a session with Stevie and when Stevie walked into the studio, Jeff was sitting behind the Drum Kit playing. Stevie said to him "keep playing that"...Stevie sat down and came up with the riff...which became Superstition. I believe that was probably during Stevie's "Talking Book"...Jeff plays am absolutely gorgeous solo on "Looking For Another Pure Love"....and of course, Superstition was also on that album.
@@sadhakhearst6057 Yes, by all accounts that is what happened. After Stevie came up with the riff, the two of them worked on the lyrics - Jeff said Stevie was asking him what people superstitious - then they recorded the demo that Motown boss Berry Gordy heard...and told Stevie that no, the song was not going to Beck as a 'thank you' for playing on 'Another Pure Love' (Jeff says he recorded more tunes, though uncertain which ones; these seemingly did not get used, at least on 'Talking Book').
Feckin sublime, best version ever....when you have Jeff Beck, it's the best it can ever be.
Stunning version. Two masters. Great supporting band. Never heard SW any better. Kudos also to whoever handled the board / mix. Wow!
Agreed, but suport band? The band is literally the whole song going on. Theyre more like the band itself.
Masterpiece of two heroes.
That is some of the wildest soloing !! 🔥 Oh, what have we lost!
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!! 💙🙏
See they have musicians playing all the part's .. I'm glad no Backing trax.. Just musicians playing n it sounds full I've always said just hire the Musicians to play part's instead of tape..this sounds wonderful 👍
Jeff in his late 70's and still fresh.
Because he was for real.
Not a gimmick.
I love how Stevie Wonder is enjoying it. Awesome!!!!
Rest in peace, One of the best damn guitars in the world.
RIP, Mr. Jeff BECK🤟🤟🤟
I saw "Little Stevie Wonder" when he was 14. I was 12. He actually plays 4 instruments. Unreal. Beck...The best tremolo guitaring ever.
Two enormous talents joined to perform Superstition. I dare anybody to sit perfectly still while listening to this. It can't be done.
Just love Jeff's smile in this performance...a look of joy from our Guitar Hero...gone too soon
Jeff Beck and Stevie Wonder rock the house on superstition is the best version ever.
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!
Stevie Wonder was always ahead of his time still is.
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.
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.
Awesome! R.I.P. Jeff we're all going to miss you. Brilliant Guitar God
If you close your eyes when Jeff plays he's simply flawless.
That's what Stevie said
This has got to be the most awesome rendition of Stevie’s classic song EVER!
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.
Truth!
Jeff Beck has always been one of rock's most innovative guitarists.
A genius in any genre. I wa shocked when I heard this today. RIP Jeff. Every guitarist is till trying to catch up with you!!!!!
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!
Best version of Superstition ever!!!!
Two legends killing it. Nothing more - nothing less. RIP Jeff. Just one of the golden greats.
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.
Instant goosebumps.
Me too
Jeff Beck is one of my guitar Gods and Stevie Wonder is a God! The Best together 🎸 🎹
My favorite Jeff Beck video. That smirk after the solo says it all.
Thank you for everything, Jeff. Rest in peace.
This is one of those few moments, where you can feel a genuinely special jam take over, and the entire ensemble just grooves to it.
He invented the Superstition riff. Another example of Beck genius.
Stunning! RIP Jeff Beck
not a darn thing Jeff couldn't play. his R&B tone here is perfection. what a band.
This is such smoking hot track. My goodness. . . Beck plays so well in front of that horn section. . . the guy can do anything. Wow
A legendary song with 2 legends performing it what more could you ask for. This should be brought in as a classic
Beck, besides his amazing guitar playing, was always just a very cool guy with a unique stage presence. Brian May, who became acquainted with him personally, said he always seemed to be "either working on one of his cars [he was into American hotrods] or playing a guitar - with nothing in-between."
2 great icons doing this iconic classic one more time!! Who could ask for more !!! RIP Jeff......
Appropriate for us all to gather here today. We’ll miss you, Jeff.
Jeff Beck is such a god. So glad I had the privilege of seeing him in person.
The smile on the guitarist behind Jeff Beck is the best part. Watching true mastery of the craft
Mr Jeff Beck a master guitar player who can bring the rock to the funk party. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Bravo JB
They crushed it! Band locked into the groove,Stevies voice sublime, and Jeff's guitar work wild with style.
Beck is definitely in the top five of most innovative guitarist in history. His Blow by Blow album is epic.
Rock In Peace, Jeff!💜☝🏾
Making it look easy is the sign of pure talent...
R.I.P. Jeff. The greatest guitarist EVER. 🎸🎸🎸⚘⚘⚘🕊🕊🕊
“Between the album sessions, Beck came up with the opening drum beat. Wonder told Beck to keep playing while he improvised over the top of it. He improvised most of the song, including the riff, on the spot. Beck and Wonder created a rough demo for the song that day.”
💔💔we gonna miss you Jeff. Thanks for leaving us a beautiful musical legacy maestro
takes me way back crusing around seguaneti park in Yuma Az
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.
THAT......... is Truly amazing in all possible universes!
Music's greats joined together! amazing
Wooo hooooo! Can’t get much better than this !!!
