To clarify confusion, this performance was a tribute to Les Paul (see the video title of the video we're reacting to).
as a guitarist I'd rate Jeff Beck in a class of his own, BUT another one of a kind is from Montreal and his name is Frank Marino - his band Mahogany Rush - check out Something Is Coming Our Way from Live at the Agora Theatre concert - you won't believe his stamina - it was a 6hr concert
Jeff Beck is arguably one of the best guitarist in contemporary music
There’s a live show at “ Ronnie Scott’s “ with his band that’s so good. The song “Cause we ended as Lovers” is so sweet.
His Bassist Tal Wickenfield will blow you away
“Cause we ended as Lovers” is one of my most favorite Jeff beck songs. I completely agree with your comment.
I wanted to give a shout out to Tal Wickenfield on bass, she’s so good
Tal. , Angeline Saris and Rhonda Smith , those 3 lady bassist are just monster talents , worthy of checking out.
@@billc.5861 I'm not sure about Angeline, but Rhonda Smith toured with Jeff Beck after Tal.
@mhlevy. Angeline Saris has been playing with the Nardia Michael Walton Band for a long time. He drummed &wrote for Whitney Houston Aretha Franklin , Sting , Journey , Jeff Beck and toured with Rhonda & Jeff. Angeline a solo artist and hired hand ,she’s just phenomenal. She has a song “Cone Undone”
Anyway have a great week.
@@billc.5861 It's Wilkenfeld.
There isn't anyone else who plays guitar like Jeff does. He didn't seek the spotlight the way the other guitar greats did, so has always been in the shadows and not as recognized. But you know, he just may be the best. (He replaced Clapton in The Yardbirds and was joined by Jimmy Page in the group for a while too.) Peace!
The best part was he and Jimmy Page remained best friends till his dying day, unlike Clapton who became rather big headed later in life.
Even if you could barely hear it from a mile away - you could tell it was Jeff Beck.
Yeah man, that's how you recognize the greatest at playing the guitar. You know it's them as soon as you hear them play. It was like that with Hendrix, with Eddie and of course with Jeff. I was really sad when I heard he died and I miss talent like that in todays music. @@neshobanakni
Jeff Beck passed away last year😢. One of the most influential Guitarists of all time RIP Jeff Beck
Yes, and there's a wonderful tribute to him from Imalda, her walk on is phenominal! Plus Ronnie Wood and Johnny Depp too..
Jimmy Page once said on his and Claptons best day they couldn`t touch Beck.
Almost a year since the greatest guitarist ever Jeff Beck passed away R.I.P 🎸🎸
The Late, Great Jeff Beck, who toured nearly up until he died at 78 years old, his last concert was the final show of the 2022 tour, about 3 months before he died of spinal meningitis in January, 2023. He played like nobody else ever has. While he loved touring and playing, he had no interest in being a "rock star," often playing on other musicians albums, often with no "official" credit. He preferred staying home with his family and building hot rod's, a hobby that really took a hold of him when he toured the US with "The Yardbirds," though he loved fast cars as a child. Some of his most amazing hits were songs by Stevie Wonder (Cause We've Ended as Lovers," or The Beatles (A Day in the Life,) that he transformed into instrumentals that were just amazing. Many of your listeners have spoken about his live concert at Ronnie Scott's, where he performed "Cause We've Ended as Lovers," and it was just the most amazing event. The entire concert is absolutely amazing, with terrific guest performances by Eric Clapton, Joss Stone and Imogen Heap.
I saw him in October 22. Never thought it would be the last time.
Just love Imelda May. Great but little know singer. Listen to her "Johnny's got a boom-boom". You won't regret it.
Jeff always makes the singer the star. He’s one of the best guitar players of all time, but he always knows how to back up a vocalist.
If you liked Imelda and wanted to see another performance Id recommend her singing Black Tears on Jules Holland.....a fantastic performance and a different side to her.
Imelda is amazing,check out Big bad handsome man.
The comment “Jeff Beck showing his potential” is HILARIOUS!
Imelda May is a too little known and much underrated singer, she is phenomenally good.
If you want to hear some great Guitar, listen to Jeff Beck Wired. I got that album when it first came out back in the day!
Correct and me and blow by blow and there and back great albums
Imelda May was killing it - she's an Irish singer who loves Rockabilly and has played with Jeff on numerous occasions.
They had a whole tour with this call Rock-N-Roll Party I saw it great show
@stevenseul361 I saw it as well, great show!
Now THIS is MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL singing REAL Instruments, Thank you for reacting to this!!!
Jeff Beck showed his potential, really 🤣🤣🤣
I could not believe my ears when he said that. Was he being funny??
Yes these two muppets haven't a clue.
Jeff Beck was a true artist he never took the spotlight away from anyone if anything his generosity was unlimited . Everyone who was anyone wanted to play with Jeff and he did his rendition of Nessum Dorma on a electric guitar that Eric Clapton said was the most incredible thing he had ever heard.
I believe he played Nessum Dorma with Pavorati. It may still be on UA-cam.
Jeff and Tal Wilkenfelt at Crossroads guitar festival 2007, playing Cause we’ve ended as lovers. AMAZING!
Thanks so much, Phil and Sam, for covering Jeff (RIP), Imelda and the gang in this great concert. The entire concert is incredible!
Totally agree 👍🏻
The Yardbirds was one of the most consequential bands in rock history…..not because they were that successful as a band (although they had several hits) but because three OUTSTANDING guitarists were the lead in that band; Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and finally Jimmy Page. In actually, Led Zeppelin started its life as The New Yardbirds…in order to fulfill several gig obligations that Jimmy Page had inherited from the then defunct Yardbirds. Jeff and Jimmy were best friends as teens, and it was Jeff who brought Jimmy into The Yardbirds when Page was fed up with session work. It was Jimmy who inducted Jeff into the TRRHOF….and they remained best mates until Jeff’s death on January 10th of last year. One year anniversary. Jeff is considered by most great guitarists as being among the best, if not the very best……Page certainly was in awe of him, in large part because Jeff was always experimenting to get new sounds out of his guitar that others didn’t even think of. He was a great jazz guitarist in addition to blues and rock.
FYI, the drummer is Steve Rushton, one of the most versatile and sought-after session drummers in the UK. He toured with Imelda for 10 years and used to room with Jeff back in the day. He's also one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Jeff was a guitar czar. Imelda is not as well known in the US but is a star in the UK. Also notice Blue Lou on baritone sax. He played with The Blues Brothers and many others.
Makes the guitar speak 🤘🏴
More Jeff Beck!!!! Les Paul was a huge pioneer in studio recording. Please check out The Jeff Beck Group and his solo stuff. You will not be disappointed. Best feel in the world.
Jeff became in his later years a very unselfish player. He was content to letter other people shine. However, when it was his turn... WOW!
Jeff Beck and the Yardbirds played their first American concert at my high school, Staples, in Westport CT. The guy who opened for them was a drummer that played guitar with at his home named Steve Tallirico. We got together afterwards and talked about how we had never heard anything like it. Steve later became better known under the name Steven Tyler - of Arrowsmith.
Linda Eastman photographed it and took time to show me how to compensate exposure for the stage spotlighting. She later became better known under the last name "McCartney"
What an unforgettable night!
In the sixties Jeff Beck was ahead of the pack and still remains one of the great jazz/Rock guitarists of all time
This is Outstanding! I saw this show with Jeff and Imelda and her band. It was at the Chicago Theater. I fell in love with Imelda Excellent pick ❤
Wow! Must have been electric in there!
That's where my brother and I saw them too! Opening band weren't slouches either! We saw the first show on April 1st.
My bad, we saw them at the Cadillac Palace Theater.
Remember Walking In The Sand was originally done by The Shangri-Las in '64. When Jeff was with the Yardbirds he was the guitarist all tried to figure out how he came up with the sounds he got out of his guitar.
Jeff Beck has a "tune" called ended as lovers. Serious check it out.
I saw imelda live and she's a captivating performer.
Wonderful! Long time fan of Jeff Beck but first time hearing Imelda May. I was tickled to hear the second song, Please Mister Jailer, I was familiar with it through the 1990 Johnny Depp movie Cry Baby.
Mid-career Jeff started introducing/highlighting a number of female performers.
Jeff Becks Rock and roll Party🔥DVD
Jeff Beck and Joss Stone do a killer version of "I Put a Spell on You" Live
This is Imelda's band playing with them
imelda is a great vocalist!!
Including her ex husband..
Is your blood boiling yet?
What a duo indeed...!
Yeah, that little Irish girl can sing..
Check out his versons of Over the rainbow or Nessun Dorma an Opera tune he teaked :) So beautifuly done!
This would have put a huge smile on Les Paul’s face, both Jeff & Imelda
What an amazing song. Full of emotion, amazing voice and being blessed by one of the greats to hold a 6 string...Jeff Beck. Great reaction pick.
Jeff. Legend. One of the best. Beck, Clapton and Page revolved around each other like a trio of planets. His thumb picking style was unique. Jeff played with everybody. A true musician that followed his passion to play. Gotta love The Blues!
What a great performance, I’m not familiar with Imalda May but I will be soon.
No pick!! Let that sink in….. 😁 Jeff Beck can play!
RIP Jeff Beck gone one year now (Jan 10, 2023) and this was a great match. Imelda is killing it right up there with the rest of the band.
You Got Jeff Beck !!! I got a few for you mostly from 2007 and 2009 when that young little girl Tal Wilkenfeld showed up at his door to audition for the 2007 tour. He thought it was a joke but quickly realized how good she is and became her mentor. He & his wife treated her like a daughter. and the interactions between them are priceless. 2007 crossroads and 2009 Ronnie Scotts. There is also a video of them both playing her base. It was her idea when Jeff and a problem with his amp durien a concert.
Jeff is playing a Fender not a Gibson in this.Nice video.Thanks.
I would like you to react to a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro with the song "El perdón" she is a very versatile singer singing different musical styles. She always transmits with that particular voice she has and those incredible melismas.
VERY NICE!! Jeff the God/Legend on guitar and Imelda has a Outstanding stellar catalogue of songs and videos I hope you check out. Nothing like honoring the great Les Paul with a master on the biggest rival guitar brand 😉 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Jeff Beck is one of the 3 guitar greats from the Yardbirds. He is mostly instrumental and does songs with various singers. Joss Stone and Jeff did a pregame show at Wembley Stadium in 2014 before an NFL Game. It is a must see. There are others with her and other singers like the one you are now doing with the great Imelda May. Jeff beck ... Stratus 2009 Ronnie Scott's.. and ... Big Block 2007 crossroads.
Y'all should listen to Bruce Channel Hey Baby! Great harmonica sound!
This is a Shangri-La song. You should check them out (if you haven't already).
He should have played it on a Gibson Les Paul to make the tribute complete. I mean, it's called that because Les Paul consulted on the design and specification of the Gibson Les Paul.
Nice to see Warren Haynes in the crowd. (Allman Brothers and Government Mule)
Eric Clapton was an original memeber of the Yardbirds. It wasBbeck who replaced him. Jimmy page was also a member and eventully Page reformation of the Yardbirds became Led Zeplin Funny that Beck is playing the strat and not a Gibson.
Jeff is my second favorite guitarist just behind SRV.
Emelda is amazing.
You guy's are spot on with your review.
Be safe.
I didn't see Jeff....but I saw most of that band with Imelda and it looks like this could be the Birchmere in Wash DC area. That's where she plays in this area. Seats right up to the stage! The whole show was amazing.
I've seen this before...And that drummer is killing it.. 🔥🔥
The sax player too!
Thanks for introducing me to Imelda May, Jeff Beck (R.I.P.) I know from far back, excellent musician. Especially in the first song here, I almost got Led Zeppelin vibes and that´s about the best complement I can give any artist or band. Greetings! /Ulf
I have my shot of Jeff Beck (r.i.P.) EVERY morning. Am 72 and a retired guitar pro. He IS Not another guitar Hero , He IS the unmatched ultimate master of the Stratocaster and Not even Hendrix or Stevie Ray nor Clapton could come even come close 🌟✨🌞♥️
Jimmy Page was also with The yar birds.
Jeff Beck is MY guitar HeRO! Fo' SHO!
Best in the world,EVER 🏴🤘
You really should check out more of Imelda May, she is such a talent.
Eric CLAPTON and Jeff BECK and Jimmy Page were in the YARD BIRDS
Now you have to react to the 1964 original of that first song, "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" by the girl group The Shangri-Las, as well as the 1979 Areosmith cover.
The original version of (Remember) Walking In The Sand by the Shangri-La's from back in the 1960's is worth a listen:
ua-cam.com/video/NDKQ7JmazSA/v-deo.html
Aerosmith also did a very good cover of this song, with Mary Weiss, lead singer of the Shangri-La's providing backing vocals.
Oh, you just GOTTA react to every song that you can from Jeff Beck's Live at Ronnie Scott's show - on fire music so live. Please, please, please, please. How good was it?
Led Zeppelin members were in the audience.
Two songs I would love to see you do by Jeff Beck: "Hammerhead" from the studio release "Emotion Commotion" and "My Thing" from the release "Jeff". These are some power packed tracks that display just how cutting edge Jeff Beck could be. Which is where he usually resided, on the cutting edge of music despite his historic beginnings from The Yardbirds. Rest In Peace Jeff Beck. You gave us so much great music!
You definitely need to check out more of Jeff Beck. His solo work will blow your socks off. Have to check out live performances. Beck's Bolero, Big Block, Freeway Jam, Blue Wind, Cause We Ended As Lovers. Also check out the bass player Tal Wilkenfeld, she is from Australian, very talented
These two have missed the point completely, they just haven't a clue about Jeff, of course Imelda May's performance is top notch but they really need to dig much deeper into the legend that is Jeff Beck.
Johnny Got A Boom Boom is the place to start if you wanted more Imelda May.
Bit of trivia....the guy standing behind her playing the big orange Gretsch guitar is her husband!....actually ex now i believe. He was the guitar player in her band in the early days.
Still plugging for that Slade reaction, Cum on feel the Noize sung by Noddy Holder…one of the best voices in rock…according to Ozzy Osbourne
Eric Clapton was replaced by Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds. Jeff brought in childhood friend session player Jimmy Page on bass and guitar. Jeff moved,on and Jimmy formed the new yardbirds later known as Led Zeppelin. Jeff formed a group with unknown singer Rod Stewart with Ronnie Wood. Jeff Bect Trruth album and led zeppelin one are fruits from the same tree. That covers the sixties. Forty more years plus of creating after that.
There was a fine pedigree of guitar players in the Yardbirds. They include Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, three of the very best!
Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford did some great music. Also, Les Paul was good friends with Steve Miller's parents and fro what I understand, he taught Steve Miller how to play guitar in Dallas, Texas. Steve Miller in turn taught or helped people like Michael Martin Murphy and Boz Skaggs learn the guitar, also Dallas area guys
These 2 are talking about the singer when the best 🎸 player was there 🤔
Jeff Beck vocals was his hands and fender strat 🎸🎶🎵‼️ In a league of his own 👍
Love it! I've never heard that one before! It was awesome! I''m more familiar with his earlier stuff like from the Blow by Blow and Wired albums! Thanks.
Another famous guitarist who was with the YARD BIRDS
Jeff Beck sporting the Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps look.
I believe that this is the one that you meant to review, from a tribute to Les Paul concert that I believe was when he was still alive and participated in. He was a huge influence on Beck, he said that hearing Les Paul on the radio station that his mom listened to is what called him to the guitar. This was the first time I heard Imelda, I’ve been a fan ever since. As much as people talk about the great triumvirate of yardbird guitarists, Eric and Jimmy weren’t there very long , Page initially joined as the Bassist because as fate would have it, he was in the crowd watching his buddy Jeff who he’d known since they were thirteen when the previous bass player announced after the show that he was leaving. With Clapton they were one of a number of very good London Blues Bands, when Jeff left and Jimmy was the lead guitarist they were a mess, it’s the Beck era that set a new course for guitar rock. If I had to pick one to recommend it would be The Train Kept A Rollin’ a song that started as a Jump Blues in 1951, was covered a few years later as a Rockabilly song, Jeff brought his version to the band complete with sounds that nobody had heard before kicking into one of the most driving riffs in the history of Rock. m.ua-cam.com/video/Vt-lKsOz9H0/v-deo.html
Great pick guys loved this❤
That's Blue Lou Marini from the Blues Brothers on baritone sax.
instant add to playlist! I had never seen this, but of course had heard Aerosmith's good but lesser version. I knew Jeff Beck was otherworldly. Going off to search Imelda May.
If you like this try some of the Beth Hart paired up with Joe Bonamassa.
This was outstanding. My first time seeing this performance and Imelda May. You should check out Jeff Beck “Cause We Ended as Lovers” from his Blow By Blow album.
MORE BECK !!!
The first song is actually a cover of a song originally done by the female group the Shangri-La's in the 1960's. The Shangri-La's had a big hit with "Leader Of The Pack".
Imelda May is very well known in the Rockabilly world. To get an idea of her sound I recommend "Proud and Humble", "Johnny Got a Boom Boom", "Wild Woman", and "Road Runner". Also, I think you are the first reactors I've seen watch Imelda May, I hope this is the beginning of a trend. Thanks for the reaction. 🙂
I'm surprised you know who Les Paul is
Blows my mind not knowing who Jeff Beck is.
I have the DVD of this concert honoring Les Paul. It is amazing. Highly recommended.
There can be only one. That one was Jeff.
Love, LOVE the Blues. More please!
Beth Hart and Jeff Beck performances are special as well!
You really need to watch the full concert it was brilliant!!!!
Beautiful vocals and Beck of course was a legend R.I.P
You don't know know who Jeff Beck was? WHAT FUCKING HAVE YOU ROCK HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER???
My man Jeff could play with anyone...

"showing his potential" He was the greatest ever.. I sas him about two weeks before he passed. It actually efected me emotionaly ,, but ive been a huge fan since the 1960s. His talent wlil be missed. If you take a deep dive you will find some amazing music. Les Paul is the inovater of many things guitar players take for granted. He invented multi tracking and it opened the door for todays recording technics.
