I know this is an old clip I believe 13 years, just wanted to say we lost a great one rest in peace Jeff Beck you sure put a lot of music on my soul through a lot of years. May your family find peace in your passing knowing the joy that Jeff brought to this world.
Thank you for this.. too bad most of the Rod haters don't realize that Rod (still a superstar) showed up unannounced to support his friend after years... no rehearsal... this is pure jam... and I love it.
I saw them at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1969. It was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Laying on a hill under the stars with my beautiful college sweetheart tripping on a barrel of orange sunshine... WOW what a night!!!!!
I so wish that I had gone to that. I was there the night before with Steve Swallow, Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, and Blood, Sweat and Tears. Still a great show, but I really wanted to see Beck.
The band he had on Rough and Ready was my favorite. He was starting to go in a more jazz direction. Max Middleton is a great counter to Jeff on these albums. This is not a great performance! At this point Rod has totally lost it. Jeff seems uninspired and no wonder with this stiff on stage with him.
That's excellent. Shame on you anyone for dissing this version. Band is great, and yes I have the original Truth version on vinyl, and yes I am a musician.
I had the Truth and Beck ola album back in the late 60s and wore the things out. It is nice to see them playing together again! They complimented each other so well!
I saw the JB group back in the late 60's(sorry ,can't remember if it was 67,68,or 69 ;) ), at Eagle's Auditorium in Seattle. He was wearing a white t-shirt,blue jeans,and sneakers with no socks...all about the music. Stewart was jumpin' around and puttin' on quite a show,so much so that some people thought he was beck! A great performance. Also saw JB with the Yardbirds a couple of years earlier: absolutely fantastic.
She's pretty much matched Beck's talents on electric guitar as well on the past 2 or 3 of Clapton's Crossroads concerts I've seen on PBS. That's saying something, and you can tell she has the master's approval when they play duos together by the smiles flashing between them. It's like they're having the best times of their lives, which they likely are.
Jeff Beck's voice is his guitar. Rod Stewart's voice fits nicely with Jeff Beck's guitar. They were made for each other. Jeff is humble and down home. Rod Stewart is class.
Yes. I saw them play this in 1968 , Chicago. Opening act was Fever Tree (" San Francisco Girls"). Jeff broke the headpiece off his Les Paul that night. An accident .....
The reaction of Jeff as he realizes Rod is on stage with him is absolutely priceless, and at the end he does it again, puts his hands over his face. You can tell he's happy to see him after all these years. And so am I. Good job boys! You are both sorely missed.
@@mikelundquist4596I think everyone knew but Jeff and Jeff often plays people get ready solo so the band would've rehearsed and known that one same with I ain't superstitious he does have guest vocalists sing that one with him so it was easy for Rod to just come in and sing it with them
My God I didn't think Rod could still sing rock.He needs to stop this silliness with all the standards and do a pure Faces like rock lp.Maybe another Jeff Beck Group lp,if Jeff can stick with a genre for 5 minutes.Bravo Rod and Jeff
I saw them in Minneapolis forty years ago at the Labor Temple. Mick Waller played drums, Ron Wood--yeah, that Ron Wood--on bass. Nicky Hopkins on piano. Beck looks the same now; good wig, I guess. Talk about a great album which is still great: Truth, debut by the Jeff Beck group. Timeless.
Give me Howlin Wolf over this any day. Don't get me wrong, I was pleasantly surprised by Rod's show in Philly during the mid-90's. There's no substitution for the real thing. Hoy! Hoy !
There's no reason why I can't like both equally, and I do. I don't need to rank one above the other, and I don't understand the obsession some people have for doing it. They're different takes on the same song, and they're both great.
Probably the greatest chemistry between a vocalist and a guitarist. They always brought out the best in each other, but something would always happen to screw up the working relationship.
The beauty about Jeff's sound is that it is still evolving, you know its him and then he comes out with something that is totally unique to the human ear Genius of the guitar 👍🎸🎶🎶
To whom it may concern: Stop putting shit on Ron Wood ... He is a fine bass guitarist and guitarist. A true rocker with a great personality, he adds joy to anybody’s stage performance and he’s been a Rolling Stone 45 years! He’s also a fine artist. Luv ya Ronnie!!
Me too I was born in 1964. I remember all of this GREAT music due to the fact that my mom was only 17yrs. old and my dad was 19yrs. when I was born so fortunately I was introduced to all of the BEST music ever. I am so grateful that I am part of the generation that genuinely tried to change things without violence. Great years to be proud to be an American.
@kharmabum I did not go to either. My most memorable ever though, has to be the first Ann Arbor Blues Fest, the same weekend in '69 as Woodstock. What a show that was! All the great living blues acts were there; actually, the only big name who wasn't there was Hooker (I bought my $6 ticket to see him at Labor Temple, but he didn't make it and they substituted Dr. John). I did see CCR at the Mpls. Armory, and Paul Butterfield at Dayton's 8th Floor. Went to a show at Midway Stadium: Baldry, etc.
NIce version, but.... & I know the chaps aren't at the same level of Oomph as back in the days of the Truth album, which I still consider a "Class version" of this number. Go check the whole album out & make up your own mind !
Of course, Jeff is in the stratosphere now compared to when they were in The Jeff Beck Group. Rod is still with fine voice also, and can tell that Jeff didn't try to overpower him here.
Love their version! These two still hold up well...Harkens back to when I thought Rod was cool. Their version was the best, better than the original, IMO, though it pains me to say it... Two Brits outdoing the best of American music? It's a tribute to Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon...The Beck recorded version has that drum beat...Really primal and spooky.
Dr Death ... you nailed it. Beck is one of the greatest players who ever plugged in an axe. He's been great his entire career and to be playing a this level late in life is amazing.
No question the Strat feels more balanced when you hang it around your neck.. Also the whammy bar assembly on the Strat offers tremendous variability in the sound. . .
The Strat has a more defined tone so the individual notes are more distinct. They are better players than they were back then so they want the music and notes to speak for them not a huge distorted sludge that smacks you in the face.
I'm kind of disappointed that Jeff didn't hook up a old analog cry baby wah wah pedal for ain't Superstitious... Oh well.. It was great to see Rod on stage with Jeff.. Damn does Rod Stewart ever age...
You couldn't be more wrong. Look at all the existing photos from '68 & '69. They all show Jeff with a Les Paul and the one that he used had a very distinctive flame top with wide bold flame. The only other guitar that he was ever pictured with from this time was a Tele with a 12 string Dan Electro neck on it. While in The Yardbirds Jeff heard what Eric Clapton was doing with a Les Paul and a Mardhall and like most British guitarist at that time fell under the spell of a Les Paul - Marshall combo
Rod was a little crunchy around some of the notes but to see them together again was just great. Truth is a weird album. Old Man River? But what is good on it is as good as it gets. And Aint Superstitious was a great cut. Mixing 3/4 with 4/4 in a blues song. The album was like a bolt of lightning when it was released. Mix of hard rock, authentic blues, with inventive and interesting arrangements and Beck playing as well as anybody on the planet. Stewart was unknown at the time but his voice was perfect for that band. Oh Yeah Ron Wood on bass.
+richdys Old Man River is the best song on the album! Stewart excels with this sort of histrionic soul stuff and Beck contributes terrific guitar fills. Keith Moon on tympani btw.
"Ol' Man River" is a great song. It's a pity some people don't recognize the diversity to be found on Truth. Hard rock, proto-metal, R&B, Chicago blues - there's something for everyone.
In other words, kids, you had to be there! I brought this home when I was 11 and had my mind promptly blown. They copied no one. Not like people do today.
@ShelterDogs Not that it's a big deal or anything, but I don't know any guys who have the same head of hair they had forty years ago [see: Frampton, Peter......Townsend, Peter......Trower, Robin.....etc.]. I certainly don't! Not even close! So, one has to wonder how Jeff has managed to retain that thick, black thatch all these years!
@kharmabum Really?? You were there? There were some great acts that came to that venue! Savoy Brown played there, great show. The one thing I clearly remember from the Beck show is that Stewart got quite frustrated with the faulty PA, and at one point threw the whole mic and stand across the stage. Don't think they ever got it right. You didn't happen to catch Zep at the Guthrie did you? That was another historic Mpls show......imagine it....Zep in all their glory, playing before 1440 people.
Loved the early days of both these guys. Those first albums were so bluesy and awesome. Saw them live at the Laurel Racetrack in 1969 in Maryland. Good times.
I saw the last show of their fated reunion tour around 86 (guitar shop) tour stopped short of course Rod appears to be an inconvenience Jeff being typical I'm sure too fucking bad fans of the heyday
Hey - didn't see this before and thanks again for getting all of this - man I wish I could have been there! You really made our day and love this song. I have waited 40 years to see these two do this number together again and fantastic to see!
I know this is an old clip I believe 13 years, just wanted to say we lost a great one rest in peace Jeff Beck you sure put a lot of music on my soul through a lot of years. May your family find peace in your passing knowing the joy that Jeff brought to this world.
Thank you for this.. too bad most of the Rod haters don't realize that Rod (still a superstar) showed up unannounced to support his friend after years... no rehearsal... this is pure jam... and I love it.
+Gord Merritt Hmmm... Hard to believe they could do this without a rehearsal. There's all this stopping and starting.
+DucksDeLucks well ..the song's a standard!
Jane Millerick Maybe but the Howling Wolf version doesn't have all the tricky stuff.
And not only not rehearsed, they were reaching for more. Better that way ;)
Rod and Jeff.. where it all began!
I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing this in November 1968 when Jeff introduced Rod as the new lead singer. Concert was $2.50
I saw them at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1969. It was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Laying on a hill under the stars with my beautiful college sweetheart tripping on a barrel of orange sunshine... WOW what a night!!!!!
I so wish that I had gone to that. I was there the night before with Steve Swallow, Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, and Blood, Sweat and Tears. Still a great show, but I really wanted to see Beck.
After all these years, Truth is still my favorite Jeff Beck LP. I just wish that band would have stayed together forever!
yes! what a album and band!
The band he had on Rough and Ready was my favorite. He was starting to go in a more jazz direction. Max Middleton is a great counter to Jeff on these albums.
This is not a great performance! At this point Rod has totally lost it. Jeff seems uninspired and no wonder with this stiff on stage with him.
Three legends and a next legend in the same stage : Stewart, Beck, Colaiuta and Wilkenfeld. ¡Wow!
RIP Jeff Beck.
One of the greatest. Sadly lost too early.
That's excellent. Shame on you anyone for dissing this version. Band is great, and yes I have the original Truth version on vinyl, and yes I am a musician.
Man...can anybody else come back after 40 freakin' years and even come close to sounding as good as these two!!??
Clapton and Stevie Winwood
Did Beck and Winwood ever get together? My two all time favorites. I sure would have liked to hear those two together!
I had the Truth and Beck ola album back in the late 60s and wore the things out. It is nice to see them playing together again! They complimented each other so well!
I saw the JB group back in the late 60's(sorry ,can't remember if it was 67,68,or 69 ;) ), at Eagle's Auditorium in Seattle. He was wearing a white t-shirt,blue jeans,and sneakers with no socks...all about

earlier: absolutely fantastic.
Nice...
william jc I’m envious! Thank you for describing your experience so well in just a few words, for a moment I felt as if I was there
Oh man, another reminder these two should have never went separate ways. I'm glad we got what we got, but there's no telling what we missed.
She's pretty much matched Beck's talents on electric guitar as well on the past 2 or 3 of Clapton's Crossroads concerts I've seen on PBS. That's saying something, and you can tell she has the master's approval when they play duos together by the smiles flashing between them. It's like they're having the best times of their lives, which they likely are.
As far as I'm concerned, they could do every single cut from Beck'Ola and Truth and I'd buy a ticket.
Loved this song! First heard it from movie "Casino" and looked it up. Rod Stewart was so great with Jeff Beck and the Faces...
and ron wood is and will always be a better gutarist than richards
Casino movie they played this song and still love it!! Great music 🎶
Jeff Beck's voice is his guitar. Rod Stewart's voice fits nicely with Jeff Beck's guitar. They were made for each other. Jeff is humble and down home. Rod Stewart is class.
RIP JEFF BECK
Yes. I saw them play this in 1968 , Chicago. Opening act was Fever Tree
(" San Francisco Girls"). Jeff broke the headpiece off his Les Paul that night. An accident .....
Rod has always rocked!!! Great vintage jam :-)
Rest In Peace you legend!!
Jeff was totally on fire! His guitar was roaring.❤
Don't fail to mention that that's the awesome Tal Wilkenfeld playing bass!
As she was laughing when Rod says 41 years ago, many years before she was born.....LOL
@@randyhitch8284
Yep! Saw that too!
And now Tal Wilkenfeld is on her own writing and producing her own material. That a girl! Listened to her stuff and it's exceptional music and lyrics.
It's good but this makes you appreciate Howlin' Wolf even more...
Wolf... See you in another life, brother...
Vinnie Calauita always shows up. One of the baddest drummers on the plant.
That's some bad ass men right there young ppl !🎸💥
Amazing!! I recall the original and rock gets no better! Thanks for posting.
The reaction of Jeff as he realizes Rod is on stage with him is absolutely priceless, and at the end he does it again, puts his hands over his face. You can tell he's happy to see him after all these years. And so am I. Good job boys! You are both sorely missed.
How do you mean, they both are still with us!
@@fredgien What?
You realize this is rehearsed, right? The rest of the band know the song, starts and breaks and stops.
@@mikelundquist4596 They do play the song every night with a vocalist, just not that one.
@@mikelundquist4596I think everyone knew but Jeff and Jeff often plays people get ready solo so the band would've rehearsed and known that one same with I ain't superstitious he does have guest vocalists sing that one with him so it was easy for Rod to just come in and sing it with them
Jeff Beck is rockin some sweet guitar....and some sweet white boots.
I love this performance. The best ever. These two together were amazing. 😍🥰😘
You see Legend, Forever
by far!
ジェフベッグ
forever😢
My God I didn't think Rod could still sing rock.He needs to stop this silliness with all the standards and do a pure Faces like rock lp.Maybe another Jeff Beck Group lp,if Jeff can stick with a genre for 5 minutes.Bravo Rod and Jeff
Oh man i wish they´d reunite and do a new record together, that would be so awesome !
just great...thanks for capturing a magic event like this and posting it,,,,

The guitar player’s guitar player. You will be missed. 🎸
..and Tal ?Wilkenfield loving it!
My god,jeff beck
Probably the greatest chemistry between a vocalist and a guitarist. They always brought out the best in each other, but something would always happen to screw up the working relationship.
You can't spoil it for me - I still love Rod. And, of course, you have a right to your opinion but it won't affect the way I feel.
Jimmy Page, Allen Collins, Joe Perry, Robbie Robertson, SRV, Jimmy Vaughn, Roy Buchanan.... More ?
passable for live version but studio best for stereo quality....what can I say...The Truth!!!
The beauty about Jeff's sound is that it is still evolving, you know its him and then he comes out with something that is totally unique to the human ear Genius of the guitar 👍🎸🎶🎶
RIP Jeff Beck. Your legacy will survive to the end.
Im just way so excited to see these two together again. It's been so very long. They are great together
+allan hice improve.. Jeff never knew he was coming... he just walked on...
Jeff just mailed this one in.
To whom it may concern: Stop putting shit on Ron Wood ... He is a fine bass guitarist and guitarist. A true rocker with a great personality, he adds joy to anybody’s stage performance and he’s been a Rolling Stone 45 years! He’s also a fine artist. Luv ya Ronnie!!
The first time I heard this as a kid, I was blown away 💖

Rods voice was made for the blues
Too bad he sold out to pop and disco.
when Jeff's ON, he's hard to beat!
Yes! Perhaps he could do a show with Jimmy Page! Love to see those two together.
RIP Axe Killer
One of my favourites since Cyril Davies / Steampacket days at Eel Pie.
Of course, Jeff is in the stratosphere now compared to when they were in The Jeff Beck Group. Rod is still with fine voice also, and can tell that Jeff didn't try to overpower him here.

incrediable stuff-i know beck jammed with rod in 1974 with mick jagger,73 rod was at a bba show,84 mini tour together and 95 washington dc
Awesome 😎 Love the music of these 2 great Legends ♥️♥️🎤🎸♥️🌟🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟⭐️💫
@aSpoonfedTribe I believe it's Howlin' Wolf's tune, not Dixon's
Damn 😻 Jeff is phenomenal 🙂
yea....i remember well the Truth album from 1968....that album ranks as one of the top 10 all time albums of R&R....period.
Rest easy Jeff. Thank you for the music
Loved the early days of both these guys. Those first albums were so bluesy and awesome. Saw them live at the Laurel Racetrack in 1969 in Maryland. Good times.
That was fantastic!! Jeff and Rod were enjoying that shit! Rod surprised me with his falsetto/gospel wail. Where'd that come from?
I saw the last show of their fated reunion tour around 86 (guitar shop) tour stopped short of course Rod appears to be an inconvenience Jeff being typical I'm sure too fucking bad fans of the heyday
@TheJoker838 I think you mean drummer Micky Waller. I saw them do this at The Marquee in London in 1969.
these two sound great on the truth album. now they are still sounding good.
@NicolletIslandSlim Jeff Beck is wearing a wig here? I never would've known.
One is Jeff Beck, no one like him, and he can be like everyone. All the greatest recognize him as the greatest.
@runtsworth "Original Truth version".....Don't you mean Howlin Wolf?
Wow!! One of my absolute faves, and Rod and Jeff are brilliant xx
Wise man
Did someone in the film die to this song?
Sorry to butt in here....who the hell is the kid on the bass???
Operator, I need Mr. Happy. Loud.
Jeff Beck is a rock God along with vocal God Rod (didn’t mean to rhyme). Still sounds unreal 40 years later x
This kicks ass!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
R.I P. Jeff..You've been my here since 1965 with the Yardbirds.
This dude was insaneley talented.
Hey - didn't see this before and thanks again for getting all of this - man I wish I could have been there! You really made our day and love this song. I have waited 40 years to see these two do this number together again and fantastic to see!
In an interview I read shortly after Les Paul's death, Jeff Beck said his problem with Les Pauls is that they are just too darn heavy.
TheodoreTugboat I totally agree that Les Pauls are too bloody heavy!
