It's just epic to see Simon Phillips do this song. It's one of my all time favorite Jeff Beck tunes and Phillips is one of my all time favorite drummers. Total, epic, coolness!
@@artistaloca4 well i hate to be the turd in the punch bowl here but this is awful....i fell asleep about 2/3rds in....and it was bad way before that....and ive been fans of both these guys since the 70's....and drummer Simon Phillips too....i just expected a lot more....MY band played this song better....
I do not know how many times I have watched this video but it is a lot! A little heavy on the progressive part but overall a great groove! Been listening to Lee and Simon for decades. Mike much less for some reason. A bit more progressive, and less mainstream than Lee and Simon yet still a great talent from where I sit.
I don't see this as smooth-jazz because Ritenour was playing....nor do I see/hear this as much more than a cover of a famous J-Beck tune from decades ago which was cutting edge back then as an instrumental and was cut during the era that introduced us to Jan Hammer and some of that great synth-jazz-rock-fusion stuff that everyone was into....thinking Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, etc. It sounds like a 70's-80's FM radio track is what it does. The interesting thing about the video/performance is that you get to see what Ritenour can do when he cuts loose in a more free form rock genre.....Stern it is more about the tone/sound he gets out of that faux-Telecaster axe. Not sure it was much about pushing the technique envelope as much as it was about bringing back a track that most of us had forgotten about....and added a nice keys component and some slick drumming by Phillips. Not a lot of people know Ritenour nor Stern so maybe this was a good exposure piece for them when it went down about 10 years or so ago.

SP has such a gentle touch, not a banger/smasher of the drums
Lee and Mike are both great and this song rocks. I once saw Steve Morse play this song at a bar in Hawaii. You can imagine.
They sound so good, playing off each other. That audience is so lucky.
If you play Jeff Beck tunes, you are Jeff Beck or you have to be creative!!!. These guys rock!!! Awesome.
It's nice someone can do it justice, and bring it into the present. Thank you.
Great ! Smooth rock of Freeway Jam
World Class!
É dimais
Simply Classic!!!!
No words other than AWESOME!
2人は余裕、それを楽々とまとめあげるサイモンも凄い！
Best as Jeff's. Thanks!
First time ive ever thought that some musicians of THIS caliber should stay away from the covers and write their OWN songs....wow.
WOW is right... Who do you suppose wrote these songs? What am I missing? Dude in pj's... Is he covering Jeff Beck??
The more I watch and listen, the more I understand your comment... Yeah this made me turn it off... Dang, f'ed it up.
Close, but NO cigar

THANK YOU, friend!!
Becks version is cool But this version Rocks! LOVE IT! Where can I buy this?!
le talent rime avec le sublime!
Simon Phillips is simply astonishing here
Μου αρέσει πολύ
流石、凄い！
の一言！
悪口ではないが、マイクのほんの少し、「あれ？」という所に、(わざと間を開けた？) パッと入ってくるサイモン、
様子見てまとめ上げるリトナー、
なにが起こるかわからないフリーウェイを皆で爆走(？笑)
昔はエフェクトでしっかり音を作ってたリトナーがストレートなのに対し、最後のコーラス迄しっかり仕上げたマイクの音も、また綺麗。
ツッコミどころいっぱいの、面白いテイクの動画、有り難うございます！

Grandes...
cool venue too
Simon Phillips ist grandios. Das sieht so leicht aus, was er da spielt, aber es ist sehr schwer, diese Leichtigkeit ist es, was zählt

RAW!!!
hot......
Melvin Davis - standing upright.
Very rocky ))))
I only wish Mike would take the chorus/flange off here and there.
This is the hair metal version
WARE IS DAVID
Know why nobody cover Jeff, cause they can't! Great try )
Why does it have to be a competition? These guys are great musicians. They are going to play their style. Nobody sounds like Jeff Beck. He is unique.
ill take Jeff beck
I wonded if the late #GOATGuitarist Jeff Beck saw this. I am sure he would be honored by it...
This is the hair metal version
You keep saying it, ain't no one buying it.
