Jeff was almost beside himself when Rod showed up. Such a natural. Rod never sounded better than when he sang with Jeff or with Faces. Jeff Beck makes everything he does, no matter how imaginative, look simply effortless. He let the sound of his guitar be the draw, not himself.
When I feel disconnected from the world and myself, I watch this moment. And I cannot help but be touched and have a tear in the eye. Rest In Peace, Geoffrey Arnold Beck.
There is something very comforting watching Jeff Beck play live. There is always the chance of something that you've never heard before but never with the worry of a screw up. He is just soooo familiar with his instrument a true artist that's a joy to hear.
That "dancing on the knifeedge"-thing is why I had to not listen to Jeff for a while. He made me so uncomfortable as a guitarist and listener; how the hell did he transform an atonal fluke to a perfect new lick that no-one knew how to recreate? I got Jeff Beck'ed.
These 2 guys have always been a dynamic duo onstage together!! Rod Stewart's got an incredible voice, and you couldn't ask to be onstage with any better pure guitarist than Jeff Beck. Thanks for sharing this. Great performance!!
I saw them at the local dance in Boston (Lincolnshire) in 1967, Rod was unknown then and Jeff had only recently left the Yardbirds, Jeff was great then and he has only got better
Tai is back there shaking her head: "41 years old? I wasn't even born then and here I am now playing with these legends." Must be an incredible feeling.
I posted PEOPLE GET READY on MYSPACE two days before Easter never DREAMING I would witness this pairing a few short days later. I was nearly moved to tears . Now I know exactly how Kurt Warner felt when he won the SUPERBOWL . THANK YOU JESUS , JEFF , & ROD
Was Stewart a surprise guest? Beck seemed genuinely surprised when he looked and saw Rod there. Maybe he's just an emotional man. Learning Mr Beck passed a few days ago has left me shocked. I followed the 2022 summer tour of UK and American he seemed a picture of health. Strong, energic, muscular 78 yr young,. Certainly wouldn't know his age by the way he performed, his interviews. The tour ended Nov 2022 and two months later he's left us. Unbelievable. My sincerest condolences to he wife, family and friends.
It was a surprise only to the audience at the El Rey on Wilshire in LA. Jeff & Rod had a rehearsal, though to their credit it sure felt spontaneous. Unfortunately I went the next night, so I missed this magical moment. People in line on my night had heard about Rod’s appearance and we were hoping for a repeat performance, but someone in the know said “John Mayer tonight.” Sure enough, it was.
If I really want to hear Stewart sing I put on a Faces album and get my groove on. Beck on the other hand has never lost a bit of that original fire and is one of the few cats from the old days still creating fresh inspiring music.
I agree, isn't it amazing how the singers get knighthoods but not the brilliant guitarists. Jeff Beck is amazing. I also like Keith Richards who is fantastic, both brilliant guitarists but different.
To me what's the worst is I always said one day I would go to see Jeff Beck perform live😢. That one day never came because life got in the way 💔🕊️ not seeing him will be one of my biggest regrets. RIP
I am so glad I was not there. If Rod Stewart came onto the stage and sang this, unexpected, I would have had such a joy that I would have probably gotten arrested. This Stewart/Beck version of this Curtis Mayfield's song is my fav. I have been a paid musician for 48 years (bass player) and this just gives me goose bumps on the outside and on the inside. Just love this. The studio version was a creation beyond words. GB you all. Bru
It would be totally worth getting arrested! When you go before the judge, just tell him you got a little too excited at a Beck show when Rod Stewart did a surprise walkon. "Case dismissed!"
Yeaaaaah! I was there. 20 ft from stage left side. Yep, the expression was there, he was surprised when RS showed up. Regardless, the show was owned by JB. As always Jeff was totally mind blowing. THE BEST Axe man there is.
I was lucky enough to see the original Jeff Beck Group loads of times at the Manor House in the 60s. I saw Hendrix, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, etc. but these were the greatest!
Saw,these Guys on the first U.S. Tour in N.Y. after The "Truth" record came out .They were a bit raw but feel it was a definite historic time . Not many Musicians have the lasting Passion, individual super Creativity like Jeff. It's innate . The, other Band I was fortunate to see at Carnegie Hall was w/ Cozy Powell the Great -the Rough & Ready group .They were so Tight , & did both albums back to back.These ,days are gone but Legends do Live On/ God Blessed Jeff Beck. and I miss Him Yes.
Great composition by Rod Stewart's awesome voice plus Jeff Beck's master- guitar talking a sweet sound! They don't do music like this much anymore folks! These are True Artists!
Curtis Mayfield wrote "People Get Ready" & Willie Dixon wrote "I Ain't Superstitious". Jeff & Rod recorded that song in 1968, when "Rod the Mod" was lead singer on The Jeff Beck Group's first album, "Truth".
Jeff has a really good tone here on People get Ready (he almost always did) and such subtle playing, just beautiful. And Rod sounds great too, RIP Jeff thanks for all the great music.
I got to see Jeff and Rod in the ‘Truth’ tour at the Rockpile in Toronto I think it was 1968. Was amazing and loudest band next to Iron Butterfly I ever saw.
Amazing performance...and great band featuring Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. RIP Jeff Beck...greatest tone, articulation, and note placement of all time. No one can sound like Jeff Beck.
Agreed, a great band. But as well as Tal, how about some kudos for Vinnie Colaiuta and Jason Rebello. So sad about Jeff. I'm sure he still had a great amount of incredible music to give to us.
@@cliffwheeler7357 The fact that he stuck around for 50 years after Hendrix died, and kept on improving, all the way!...you gotta give it up for Jeff...he gave it up for all of us, for all those years!
@@dannyoneil5058 I'd say the closest contemporary Beck had in his age range would've been Gary Moore. SRV was a beast, but he wasn't around long enough for us to find out where he would've gone. Jeff Beck went so far down his own rabbit hole that he basically invented a new way to think about the whammy bar. The way I think of it is that SRV was the final evolution of the Albert King influence, while Jeff Beck is more of the starting point for the shredder generation. Both great players, definitely could hang. The Albert King influence isn't a slight either, Hendrix was clearly a huge fan too by his bending/licks.
Merci Jeff de nous avoir régalé durant toutes ces années ! Tu resteras un grand parmi les grands immortels ! que l'amour de tes fans t'accompagne encore longtemps ! Restent tes notes colorées , endiablées et magiques pour apaiser notre peine ! j'entends comme un grondement de moteur ! tu es parti trop vite ...
To have been a fly on the wall. When I first hear Jeff with the Yardbirds I said, "WHOA!" But when he came out with his TRUTH album I was completely blown away! HE'S THE INDISPUTABLE MASTER OF GUITARISTS!
Hello 👋 Steph. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
God Bless you, Jeff Beck, for teaching us how you could make a guitar sing. You’ve been one of the greatest guitarist for so many of my years. May you rest in peace as you go onto your next adventure!♥️🥂🌈🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Jeff some of my best memories are firmly connected with you and they will remain so forever. I know someday in eternity we will see each other again. 🙂🥲
Saw The Jeff Beck Group at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. while Ten Years After opened and the Moody Blues went on next unknown Rod was walking around in the audience not but a few feet away. After that night never forgot Rod or the Jeff Beck group. Amazing $3.00 TO GET IN.
Truth was one of the first albums I bought when I was a lad - always thought this group was an extraordinary collection of talent. Great to see this - thanks.
God, this took me back. To August 19th 1967. The California Ballroom, Dunstable, England. With a few friends. I was there for one of the earliest gigs by the Jeff Beck Group. Jeff on guitar, Rod Stewart vocals, Ronnie Wood(later to join the Faces with Rod, and then the Stones) on bass, and the thunderous drums of Mickey Waller. They played two sets of half an hour each, and were paid £115 (about $140). I've never forgotten that night. It was incredible and under the low ceiling of the ballroom, f**king LOUD. Jeff arrived for the gig in a bright pink Chevrolet Corvette with Rod, it was all so Rock n' Roll. And here we have the two of them, in the other California, over forty years later belting out "I Ain't Superstitious" off the first album, possibly even better than before. Still hard to take it in that Jeff is no longer with us. The greatest guitar player that ever walked the earth, and by all accounts a real gentleman. Rest in peace.
Music is the key that can unlock one's inner feeling(s) that reside in some cases, dormant in our souls till that combination of melodic genius meets the refined precision of a master such as Jeff Beck.🎸 He has the ability to reach deep into our souls, and touch parts hitherto unknown. It's an awakening of spirit to be sure, what we choose to do with this gift of course is up to us. Appreciate, share, marvel at his use of time and space, how he shapes the very essence of each thought, and can transfer his gift to everyone.🎸 Some of us are more fortunate than others, when we can connect with him on a different plain, where he bridges that gulf of time and space, it is a true connection, that we are powerless to control, we revel in every moment, the cadence, the tenor, the timbre of each note can take us to another dimension. 🎸 My heart and soul become one during this embrace, and the feeling is one of pure delight. Thank you Jeff, when you gear up, there truly is a disturbance in the force, and it is heavenly, sublime. Rest In Peace in God's grace, my friend, you are truly missed.🎸
Great articulation in your commentary!...Beck could reboot your soul with one note...and also, he could fix your old car!...This guy was such an everyman...who just happened to be some kind of genius guitar player!
Way back in the 60's Rod was the vocalist in the Jeff Beck Group with Ronnie Wood and Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, check out their 2 great albums,'Truth' and 'Beckola',you won't regret it,they are still 2 of my all time favourites,and they are over 50 years old!!!!
I grew up with Beck and Stewart. When they parted ways, I followed Beck. The man's innovation continued on while Stewart, although popular went more traditional.
One of the all time great guitar players, it's funny that when they have lists of the all time greats, the people they put ahead of Jeff, it's comical, Keith Richards ahead of Jeff Beck, come on.
@@johndunn4162 Hendrix not in that group? But I totally agree about Beck. He’s so overlooked and if you ask people like Page or Brian May they think Jeff’s on an entirely different level than even themselves.
Truly, the good ole days. To be able to relive some of this stuff is in fact a priviledge and Rod Stewart is forever the classiest Rocker to ever grace the stage. Thank you whoever. You need a raise.
An unbelievable "rare moment" to see and hear two legends: Jeff Beck an incredible guitarist and Rod Stewart a vocalist who gets better with age like fine champagne!
I just missed that moment yesterday!! at Holliwood Bowl. Didn't make it to the show due to mechanical failures during our 4 hr drive to LA....go figure!!! :(
😭😭😭 Jeff Beck in guitar hero heaven RIP I had the immense chance to see him once in concert, and especially to have discovered his music, his unique playing. Jeff Beck you were by far my favorite living guitarist. You will always be by my side. RIP ❤😭❤😭❤😭
May Jeff Beck rest forever in the Peace and Joy of the Lord God in Heaven..! Among all the Great Guitarists of his true Renaissance Generation... Jeff Beck, from the perspective of 'innovation' alone, which itself could never shine without other great skills on the instrument... is rightly 'home' within and among the Echelon of the Greatest Guitarists of All TIME..!
Saw Jeff at FivePoint Amphitheater in Irvine this past Friday night. I finally have my own verification of all the raving I've heard about his shows. He is Paganini with a fine Stradivarius. What puts Rod Stewart on a special list is his respectful, honoring singing of the old standards.
Although Jeff has a reputation for not suffering those who don't have their chops together, he has shown himself quite willing to boost the careers of those he feels meet his standards, regardless of gender, etc. Tal was probably twenty in this clip, but she looks fifteen, but she certainly holds her own with these old dogs. She's a talent--let's wish her, and look forward to a long productive career.
Rod is Right. You just thank the Lord. Jeff is in "Jordan" Heaven. God Bless you. Thank you for all the love you gave us through 6 strings. Rest is His love.
BRAVO! Well done. Thank You for the experience my friends. Man alive, what a show there is being played out in the afterlife with the addition of Mr. Beck. I am biding my time until my ticket gets punched to the most incredible show yet to come!
Rest In Peace Jeff Beck, a true guitar legend. 1/10/2023 🕊️
The best
@@farmerone3710Yes!
Sobbing, sobbing, sobbing, My Favorite Guitar Player!! Crossed all genrouas of beautiful music. Sad so 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢
3 days later, still numb...
Thank you and George Martin for Diamond Dust.
Look how excited Rod is watching his buddy play. We are so lucky to have lived the same time Jeff Beck was alive.
Jeff was almost beside himself when Rod showed up. Such a natural. Rod never sounded better than when he sang with Jeff or with Faces. Jeff Beck makes everything he does, no matter how imaginative, look simply effortless. He let the sound of his guitar be the draw, not himself.

What a beautiful friendship. I so wish I'd have been there.
There is something very comforting watching Jeff Beck play live. There is always the chance of something that you've never heard before but never with the worry of a screw up. He is just soooo familiar with his instrument a true artist that's a joy to hear.
so true - he makes every possible sound that Leo made availalble....and always musical.
Saw beck with Jan hammer 1976
Jeff is the best
He's a master in control of facets of the instrument that most of us never even imagine to access. From his soul through the amp to our ears....RIP.
That "dancing on the knifeedge"-thing is why I had to not listen to Jeff for a while. He made me so uncomfortable as a guitarist and listener; how the hell did he transform an atonal fluke to a perfect new lick that no-one knew how to recreate? I got Jeff Beck'ed.
Rest in peace Mr. Jeff Beck, a true guitar genius and legend. Many will miss your beautiful sound.
Today the world lost one of the greatest guitarists to grace us with his talent
Bless you Jeff, I was very fortunate to see Rod and the Faces at the Philmore East in NY 1971 when I was in high school
These 2 guys have always been a dynamic duo onstage together!! Rod Stewart's got an incredible voice, and you couldn't ask to be onstage with any better pure guitarist than Jeff Beck. Thanks for sharing this. Great performance!!

@@MrBryansseals Yes, Bryan. Seen them also . Maybe 68' in N.Y. First Tour. Rod was fairly unknown..
My fav albums when they teamed up
it was such an honor & privilege to see this magical moment live & in person. the audience reaction was priceless!
Tai is back there shaking her head: "41 years old? I wasn't even born then and here I am now playing with these legends." Must be an incredible feeling.
What a great moment to see these two together ....Rest In Peace Jeff...

Thank you for the post
All I can say is thank God we have these film memories of this!!!
Nobody looked more comfortable or better playing,Jeff has had that guitar plugged strait into his sole for 50yrs,RIP, THE GOAT OF ALL GOATS. 😢😢😢
Jeff Beck WAS the guitar!
RIP Legend
His shoe put out a thousand wawwa watts!

Correct. No artificial boundaries for Jeff...
Amen
Hey, the man always evolve.
Jeff Beck's Truth was one of the first LPs I bought.... Jeff and Rod at the beginning and at the best
I cannot agree more.
Jeff Beck is just WOW...one of the best if not the best guitarists of all time
I agree, isn't it amazing how the singers get knighthoods but not the brilliant guitarists. Jeff Beck is amazing. I also like Keith Richards who is fantastic, both brilliant guitarists but different.
Yea he has his own style, one of the greats🙂
Makes me cry everytime...Thank you Jeff
I am devastated by the passing of Jeff Beck. What a talent! Hopefully he's playing this song in Heaven along with Amazing Grace!
Amen
Jeff and Jimi together again ! a great loss here on earth !
No question!
…me 2. 🖤🇮🇹🤟

We all gonna miss the gift he brought to so many. Never forget his talent. Rest easy Jeff.💔
Rod & Jeff are really perfect match; they both are really unique and powerfull on their crafts
Yea, even though he didn't like being paired with Stewart because he was rarely on time and disliked rehearsal. Beck is a perfectionist
I was lucky enough to see the original Jeff Beck Group loads of times at the Manor House in the 60s. I saw Hendrix, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, etc. but these were the greatest!
Far out, . Did you see the Yardbirds there too?

There's only one Jeff Beck, a guitarist so inventive that you wonder how he makes the guitar sound so different to everyone else.
This is simply magic - I love Rod's voice with this band
Great composition by Rod Stewart's awesome voice plus Jeff Beck's master- guitar talking a sweet sound! They don't do music like this much anymore folks! These are True Artists!

Finding this classy performance made my day. Rod would have fit marvelously on the “Live at Ronnie Scott’s” DVD. RIP JB
Jeff has a really good tone here on People get Ready (he almost always did) and such subtle playing, just beautiful. And Rod sounds great too, RIP Jeff thanks for all the great music.
I got to see Jeff and Rod in the ‘Truth’ tour at the Rockpile in Toronto I think it was 1968. Was amazing and loudest band next to Iron Butterfly I ever saw.
Jeff Beck gave Rod Stewart his start in the 60's. The Yardbirds birthed a lot of musicians
Danke für einen einmaligen Sound. Ruhe in Frieden !! 12.01.23
Rod Stewart will forever be the greatest singer
A lot of people can play the guitar but few can play with emotions and feelings.
There`s something about those two together that gives me chills. I will never forget their contributions to rock...….
Whether you're a fan or not (and I have to admit I'm not a massive fan of his music) you have to admit Jeff Beck is a stunning guitarist. Unreal.
The beautiful homages all guitar heroes, singers and musicians have expresed, on Jeff Beck, prove the love and respect they have for him.
Amazing performance...and great band featuring Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. RIP Jeff Beck...greatest tone, articulation, and note placement of all time. No one can sound like Jeff Beck.
... and you can really see how much Tal is enjoying this
Agreed, a great band. But as well as Tal, how about some kudos for Vinnie Colaiuta and Jason Rebello. So sad about Jeff. I'm sure he still had a great amount of incredible music to give to us.
@@cliffwheeler7357 The fact that he stuck around for 50 years after Hendrix died, and kept on improving, all the way!...you gotta give it up for Jeff...he gave it up for all of us, for all those years!

Thank you for the beauty you brought into this world Mr Jeff Beck
Finally someone Agree's with me! He is The Absolute Guitarist's Guitarist. NOBODY CAN TOUCH HIM! Rock on Zonzki!!!!!
Hell I was thinkin that way back when! And I done did do agree! Can't play a lick myself but my ear is fine tuned!
Becks great but you guys dont think ray Vaughan could hang

The Guitar & The Voice! Doesn't get any better
I guess I’ve never known what beautiful music was before at 42 but this takes the medal 😮
Missing those days when Jeff Beck played with Rod Stewart...!
check out Jeff Beck with B B King or Eric Clapton! AMAZING performances!
I remember both of them from my Eeel Pie Island days. Jeff was with a band called the Night Shift and Rod was with Long John Baldry's band.
To have been a fly on the wall. When I first hear Jeff with the Yardbirds I said, "WHOA!" But when he came out with his TRUTH album I was completely blown away! HE'S THE INDISPUTABLE MASTER OF GUITARISTS!
What a performance. Rod bloody marvellous and Jeff out of this world. Gone today Jeff but never forgotten 😢😢

Truth was one of the first albums I bought when I was a lad - always thought this group was an extraordinary collection of talent. Great to see this - thanks.
God, this took me back. To August 19th 1967. The California Ballroom, Dunstable, England. With a few friends. I was there for one of the earliest gigs by the Jeff Beck Group. Jeff on guitar, Rod Stewart vocals, Ronnie Wood(later to join the Faces with Rod, and then the Stones) on bass, and the thunderous drums of Mickey Waller. They played two sets of half an hour each, and were paid £115 (about $140). I've never forgotten that night. It was incredible and under the low ceiling of the ballroom, f**king LOUD. Jeff arrived for the gig in a bright pink Chevrolet Corvette with Rod, it was all so Rock n' Roll. And here we have the two of them, in the other California, over forty years later belting out "I Ain't Superstitious" off the first album, possibly even better than before. Still hard to take it in that Jeff is no longer with us. The greatest guitar player that ever walked the earth, and by all accounts a real gentleman. Rest in peace.
Two musical buddies together on stage!
Despite all his 'dandiness' Rod Stewart cannot deny: This is his musical "heimat"!
Wow!
I loved the intense love. They Both was so enjoying jamming together again. I think it pulled out the younger days.
Just a really nice moment. Great to see these old bandmates patch things up.

You will always be by my side.
RIP
❤😭❤😭❤😭
They complimented each other so well as musicians, and friends, brothers keeper... Bless you both , RIP Ronnie Lane
Ronnie Lane indeed!!!!!
Complement.
May Jeff Beck rest forever in the Peace and Joy of the Lord God in Heaven..!
Among all the Great Guitarists of his true Renaissance Generation... Jeff Beck, from the perspective of 'innovation' alone, which itself could never shine without other great skills on the instrument... is rightly 'home' within and among the Echelon of the Greatest Guitarists of All TIME..!
Simply sublime.
I keep coming back to this video.
Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart--
Please! Record an album together
So this magic can be captured for all time. ....before it's too late!
Sadly, Jeff Beck died yesterday from bacterial meningitis at age 78. Rest in Peace Eternally Jeff Beck.
Such an unassuming legend...true grace and monumental talent...gone too soon.
It really says something that the guy played for 50 years and people still want more.
Two legends on stage together, not to be repeated. RIP Jeff.
Words fail me! This is just so indescribably great!
A gift from heaven
Rest in Peace! The father of all guitarists!
Saw Jeff at FivePoint Amphitheater in Irvine this past Friday night. I finally have my own verification of all the raving I've heard about his shows. He is Paganini with a fine Stradivarius. What puts Rod Stewart on a special list is his respectful, honoring singing of the old standards.
Although Jeff has a reputation for not suffering those who don't have their chops together, he has shown himself quite willing to boost the careers of those he feels meet his standards, regardless of gender, etc. Tal was probably twenty in this clip, but she looks fifteen, but she certainly holds her own with these old dogs. She's a talent--let's wish her, and look forward to a long productive career.
Quit being so sentimental. Just listen to the music.
Spot on Joseph
@@CooManTunes Mr. Anal commenter!
Rod is Right. You just thank the Lord. Jeff is in "Jordan" Heaven. God Bless you. Thank you for all the love you gave us through 6 strings. Rest is His love.
My favorite cover
So wish Jeff Beck had stayed together with Rod!
Two absolute legends.(g-ds).
RIP one of the best … enjoyed your emotions through your guitar playing ,Beautiful ❤
Legends at work here!!!
They came a long way since the jeff beck group late 60ties.
BRAVO! Well done. Thank You for the experience my friends. Man alive, what a show there is being played out in the afterlife with the addition of Mr. Beck. I am biding my time until my ticket gets punched to the most incredible show yet to come!
I love these guys,they are both part of the joyful part of my teenage childhood
All one can say is, WOW THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME, AMAZING Playing ▶️ 👏 🙌 🎉❤Jeff was simply Otherworldly 😳😳
I love his reaction!! How sweet!! That's a real friendship!!
Hello Denise Culton, how are you doing today? I'm glad you're a fan, and it's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this song one of your favorite songs?
Jeff, you left Us today for a higher plain. God rest your soul. Thank you for all the music, all these years. 🕊️
RIP Jeff, talent like this never to be reproduced. (let's not forget Tal, Jeff saw something in her and he wasn't wrong)
