In a business known for jealousy and competition, Page and Beck remained the best of friends since high school until Beck's passing last year. A 60+ year friendship.
@markhill9275 seems like a slap in the face to Jimmy being dissed also did you watch the 1995 rock and roll hall of fame ceremony when Aerosmith inducted Led Zeppelin, and what John Paul Jones said in their speech?
@MaryNovak-lk1bv Ahh, it harkens back to Eric blaming Jimmy for release of some tapes of him and Jimmy just jamming, when in actual fact it was the record company that released them without Jimmy's knowledge. But Eric being the child he is could never see past that. Eric actually got Paul Rogers to ask Jimmy to do the ARMS concerts, as the big draw was to have all 3, Jimmy, Jeff, Eric on stage together. Eric has always been pettty.
Did you know that, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were all school mate's?? What the hell was in that water?! RIP Jeff.. You are definitely one of the greats!! 🤘
Actually Page went to school with Beck’s sister. She told Beck about a guy that did the guitar thing also and they met up at 14 years old. Clapton lived in a nearby town. Ron Wood also lived in the area. He knew Page and Beck.
@aloysiussnailchaser272 Ron Wood tells a story that he was riding the bus with Beck and they saw their friend Page with a guitar case walking, and they yelled to him to hurry up, to catch the bus and they were laughing at him.
THey are in it for FAME and not musicianism. Page, Beck and Clapton are the most overrated guitarists, all-time. They are average players, well Beck and Clapton are. Page is horrible.
Jeff Beck did things with a guitar that didn’t seem humanly possible. An absolutely unique musician and we are lucky to have been alive during his career. Thank you and RIP, Jeff. Peace and sincere condolences to your family.
Especially - being alive to walk this earth with and enjoy Jeff in person… Forever grateful. (As my daughter has said: you were alive dad when all this happened!)
Had the great fortune of seeing him live from the ‘60s and throughout his career. It was a head scratcher every time wondering how in world he did it. It’s a terrible loss for all of us. 😢
Yes people try to compare him even to Hendrix, Jimmy was out there but didn't have the clarity and note expression that Jeff Beck had. He rarely played extremely distorted just freking jammed all his songs.
that is so true and I guess that's what set him apart from most other guitarists... In this video, it's just a staggering contrast between Jeff's wizardry and then the way Joe Perry plays his solo (like an average fast rock player, but basically every note sounds the same!)
He had the ultra-rare ability to make the guitar an organic part of himself. We're all so very fortunate to have spent time on this planet with such a force. #RIPJeffBeck
I agree, Peter. And I believe that his playing without a pick helped him to achieve his individual uniqueness of character and accomplishments. Also, he did seem to become one with his guitars whenever he performed. And he somehow channeled his thoughts and feelings through his guitars in a very spiritual kind of way.
I met Jeff backstage at a BB King concert in Georgia one time. I was just hanging out talking to a friend and Jeff just walked up and said "What's going on". He was a really nice guy. We talked for a few minutes, got some photos and then he left. One of the most surreal moments of my life
I arrived at Heathrow at the same time as him and as I cleared customs I saw a well dressed chauffeur holding a sign reading Geoff Beck, I said to him he had spelt that wrong then a few minutes later the driver walks out of the terminal followed by a very scruffy Jeff Beck hauling his own luggage behind him
I'm stunned I've never seen this before. That finale. The sheer amount of talent on stage is just insane, and put a smile on my face almost as big as Jeff and Jimmy's.
Those smiles just jump off the stage!! Jimmy has become such a big happy smiling gentleman since 'It might get loud" All these guys got to be thinking about the inevitable. Like when am I next.
RIP Jeff Beck. Thank you for everything you did musically--you are always one of the absolute best. Bolero will always stop me dead in my tracks. Respect, love.
Jimmy plays no back seat or second place to anyone but he is all about the music and he knows when Beck is on let him do his thing Jimmy always admired greatness had no ego like many other guitarists the music is what mattred to him he has no ego he knew his own ability and greatness
@@dogsquadindia I think this was in the context of other guitarists. I really don't remember him having a history of being critical of the other greats. May be "no ego" is overly broad, but the point was right on. He referred to himself as a "mere mortal" compared to Beck.
Whilst I love most of zeppelins riffs, I never rated Jimmy Page live, the live aid gig was totally shocking, Beck on the other hand was a different ball game.
Jeff has known Jimmy Page since he was 14! His sister introduced him to Jimmy...Jeff's sister told Jeff that there was a guy down the street that was into that stuff like him...She then took Jeff down the street to meet Jimmy and that was the start of a lifetime friendship and a life of music for both🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
I first saw Jeff Beck fifty years ago with a unknown singer who you might have heard of R. Stewart and then five more times after that. The tears that roll down my face and the heart break is for his family. R.I.P. my hero Jeff Beck.
"Truth" was the first Jeff Beck album I heard aside from his work with the yardbirds, and it still gets me everytime. Rod Stewart's voice fit perfectly for the heavy blues influenced album, which surprised me because I knew him as the guy who sang "if you want my body and you think I'm sexy.. blah blah". Not my cup of tea, but he kills it on "Truth" and as far as Jeff, I don't think I ever heard him play a note that didn't come out exactly as he intended it to. And I was amazed at that version of the Indian song "Nadia" he did later on in his career. He did those whirling swirling Indian vocals with the guitar and it sounded beautiful.
Thank goodness somebody finally mentioned little Hot Rod!! That On of a Kind Voice & Jeff Beck’s guitar?!! This poor generation has Nothin to compare with these guys!! ✌️
Substitute isn't the word I'd use... He's done this countless of times on a countless number of songs he has covered. As with his own songs....The lyrics are in the licks ;) :)
Jeff is the greatest guitarist ever! Jimi was fantastic, but Jeff took it to a new level. Never get tired of hearing him rip it up. He will be missed. RIP!
Jeff's tone is very shrill and thin. What songs did he contribute to Rock history after the Yardbirds? Jimmy (and Jimi if you mean Hendrix) will stand the test of time because great songs endure much more than great solos.
@@supraphonic8143 Yes, I agree with you, but there is much more than your point of view. Hendrix and Page did great songs, but the point of Steve's comment is about the technique, and in this Beck was greatest (for me also... although the discusion is open and there isn't absolute)

@@floydnut5908 Beck had a longer career but Jimmys work with Zep was far more influential and and has stood the test of time. Jimmy has written or co written many songs that have defined and created a genre of music and will continue to be hugely influential. Beck was a great guitarist. Page was that, and composer, producer and leader of one of the greatest rock bands ever. Beck was a great gutarist. period.
@@supraphonic8143if you think that you’re a dying breed. Jimmy Page is only the third best guitarist and Jimi Hendrix isn’t even in the top ten! Jeff was behind the scenes, influencing other guitarist like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. they were both asked who the best guitarist was. They both said Jeff Beck. Have you ever heard of Johnny Winter? David Gilmour? Ever heard of Eric Clapton how about George Harrison all of these are decidedly more creative than Jimi Hendrix I guess some of us are a little bit more educated. Jimmy Hendrix was a showmen that couldn’t read music. By the way I own all his albums. A song called “Hey Joe” was his best cover. Nothing after the Yardbirds? Ever of the song superstitious sung by Little Stevie Wonder Jeff Beck wrote the music and play guitar on that song.😮
Pagey has said that when Jeff is ON he's the best guitar player in the world. Beck is the musician's musician...his technique is so original, versatile and flawless it defies comprehension by gods and mortals alike.
There's no convincing the ignorants of their ignorance. I am in complete agreement with you, Mr. J. Page, Mr. E. Clapton, and millions of others. The man is on another planet when he's in stride. That said, he is also somewhat of an acquired taste......you have to have listened to a untold hours on end of listening to guitar players of all genres to really appreciate what J Beck is offering. With that, I'll completely dismiss the claims made by others that 'their' player is better than Beck
I like Jeff and there is no doubt he is the master. That all said his actual songs are not so great. Because we Ended as Lovers is a classic. I guess as I have grown older I tend to enjoy music that is less technical and more about feel and tone. Jeff falls more into the shredder category. When I was young I loved that style of play and now not so much. He is truly gifted and has kept it going for decades and that is incredible.
The chording is the most difficult and important part in any song as it's what gives the melody , the shredder might get the recognition from the crowd but it's the Rythem section who gets the respect from the band . Playing the full chords you gotta be perfect as one fuck up everyone will notice shredding you can fuck up as many times as you want cause there is always someone to cover your ass , Thats why Page was playing chords and happy doing so .
I've always admired great guitar players my whole life. I've always known of Jeff Beck but never allowed myself to listen to more of his playing. Ikr?!! Spent the night at a friend's house several years ago, and after he called it a night, I continued to stay up and watch VH1 Classic. Jeff Beck was playing. I saw something in him that mesmerized me. The way he could make that guitar literally speak to you man. Unlike Page, Hendrix, Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen, he had not only his own unique style, but left you no choice in being a fan. Talented is not the word. This man was born to blow your mind on a guitar with such meaning. RIP JEFF BECK. What you brought to the table is nothing but legendary. ❤
You mean to tell me that you didn't know that Blow by Blow was heralded as a ground breaker? That fact was even mentioned by the mainstream media. Not by some guitar players in their bedrooms. And you didn't know this?
Man what an amazing performance I don't know how Jeff Beck does it but he just touches that damn thing sounds like a freaking orchestra! So cool to see Jimmy playing with him
I've enjoyed Beck for decades. It's been a joy & thrill watching him live again with Johnny Depp. Looks like such kick butt fun & they are great together. Jeff is absolutely the king
I watched this last week and told my friend about it the next day. I told him how inspired I was by the humility and masterful musicianship and fun had. It was why I liked music, to begin with. I was left with such gratitude that guys like him were still around. R.I.P. Jeff Beck
Jesus!!! Listen to the tone - individually and collectively - wicked!!! So great to see Jeff and Jimmy together! Then, at the end - wtf !!! Incredible talent, all right there - thank you for this posting 👍!!!
A great collection of performances, really great. Beck at his best. Page his old buddy! And all the others...Tal Wilkenfeld!, such a great artist and person.
That looks like they all had allot of fun on the stage together...RIP Mr. Beck, thanks for goosebumps throughout out the years...your music will live on forever!
Yes...they all know to let Beck take the lead on the last song too...Ive seen them all except Hendrix. Beck is the best. Everyone knows the quote "When Jeff is 'on', he's the best there is". I wholeheartedly agree. Nobody makes a guitar sing like Beck. He just.didnt have the hits. Who cares.
There's been nobody like him, and there likely won't be anybody like him again. I'm thankful to have been at three of his performances over a 40-some-year span, and each time he knocked my socks off. RIP, Jeff. Thanks for all the great music.
I don't think there can be enough thumbs up for this video! Beck, bless him kicked ass everywhere all the time! Page without words these two are our generations best!
Hands down, one of the best guitarists of all time! RIP Jeff Beck. Glad I was privileged to see you playing alongside Carlos Santana back in the 90s. What a sad day for rock and roll.
During "Immigrant Song" you can see how close JB and Page get, then you see the nodding glances JB gives to Pagey. Great to see that respect and friendship there.
Good to see them close again becuase they had fallen out for quite awhile with page remarking there was a strange professional jealousy that developed between them but luckily they patched things up .
They've been friends since they were teenagers. What are the odds of a friendship lasting that long, let alone one that brings two phenomenally talented guitarists together professionally without all the ego driven theatrics that other musicians have succumbed to?
There will be no other. Grateful for Jeff's legacy of unbelievably creative music and all the musicians he inspired. May his music live on through the young musicians he influenced.
Dave and I saw him in Pittsburgh about ten years ago. I met so many friends that I hadn’t seen in years. Every guitar player in town was there to see the “ Master” . It was GUITAR SCHOOL !
Jeff Beck was the Einstein, Pele, and Houdini of the guitar rolled up into one. He was truly one of one. I can hardly see anything through the tears filling my eyes. Thank for sharing your unmatched talent with all of us who were lucky enough to live when he did.
I loved watching Jimmy taking a bit of a back seat to Jeff on his night. That shows what kind of person Jimmy was, allowing Jeff to do his "Immigrant Song". Such a class act on Jeff's WELL DESERVED CELEBRATION. There friendship shows here.
RIP Jeff.🙏 I grew up on "Bolero" as a teen after hearing Ravel's version as a youngster. My mom and dad loved his version. At 68, I'm grateful I had the freedom to play some of my music for my parents and that I've been able to see this man reinvent himself every time he picked up a guitar.
What I like most about Mr. Beck is humanly easy going genius. He’s one with his guitar but he had other interest in life. A well rounded genius. Thank you for sharing.
Yay!!! hearing you play.... takes me back to Ham yard, at the Scene.... You and Eric, two of a kind.... RIP, Jeffro. you've left me such wunderful mems......
Wow this is fantastic Jeff Beck was such a unique guitar God.. he never really got his due .... And with Jimmy Page make no mistake people he was The wizard behind Led ZePPelin ....
So glad I was fortunate enough to see Jeff live at least once before his passing. Would have loved to have caught him on tour with Tal & Vinnie. Thanks to all those who captured and shared so much footage on RUclips.
RIP and join that increadible Hea ven's Band up there is . If we are chosen enough we will see you all up there one day. What a privilege to live in a time where YOU touched those strings for us. Thank you for all that passion and talent you shared with the world of music .
I’m loving the contrast of the two. The heavy and the light. Jeff Beck. He makes it look so effortless. Think the same about his music, too. Effortless.
Beck, Page, Clapton and Hendrix - the greatest guitarists who ever lived and now we have lost two of them. Beck’s passing breaks my heart. We may never see a talent like his again.
The BEST is not mentioned here: John McLaughlin. If you appreciate Beck's virtuosity, will be heard in McLaughlich even more Amazing. Only McLaughlin is rather in the Jazz and Fusion on-the-go, because in the Rock. Der in der Mitte ist McLaughlin. ruclips.net/video/XIPLwoiL71o/видео.html
Jeff Beck- Amazing, one of the all-time guitar greats. This version of Beck's Bolero, with Jimmy, absolutely blew me away. The original's DNA- Beck, Jimmy (who wrote it), John Paul Jones, Keith Moon- is insane! Should be the official theme song of the R&R Hall...
I just love this!! Absolutely genius talent on stage - 65 years old, they play like young studs, having an absolute blast playing together. Brilliant music, excellent karma.
Thanks for the music and your incredible talent Jeff. As an electric guitar player, you were the best on the planet by a mile. An inspiration and guitar idol to many . RIP
After MANY years of trying to catch Jeff Beck, I finally caught him opening for ZZ Top in Missoula, MT. It was an epic show at a baseball field, of all places. I was literally 15 feet from JB the whole show, right in front of the impromptu stage. There was no barrier or security so we all just bellied right up to the stage. The only other time I've seen a guitar God up that close was Stevie Ray Vaughn in 1988 at the Tufts University Spring Concert in 1988, the best frickin show of my life. Seeing JB jam w/ Billy Gibbons at the end of the show was truly unforgettable. RIP Jeff and SRV. MOLDS BROKEN. ❤🎸
Jeff Beck...guitar legend, musical genius. There will never be another who is comparable. And he was as great a man as he was a musician. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rock, blues, even jazz is a little less with his loss. RIP Jeff. You were and still are loved by millions. Not a bad legacy!
If you want to see & hear the opinions of all Jeff’s contemporaries - what they think of him as one of the greatest guitarists ever in the music industry - watch Jeff Beck: Still On the Run. When you hear them all say, ‘’There is Jeff Beck…and everybody else,’’ you know one of the top 2-3 guitarists of all time left this earth yesterday. RIP, Jeff.
Guys like Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose and their ability to play such awesome versions of the theme from Peter Gunn as heard by Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose's version of A Town Without Pity bring another dimension to the legacy as guitar gods by exposing another whole genre to their audiences. We are lacking of their talents every day since they have passed yet thanks to this and other video cache collections can hold on to their brilliance.
Great post, thank you Sir. In my book, this post, which displays the two GOAT British masters of electric guitar, Beck and Page (and friends), proves that above all forms of art, music is timeless, endless, primal and as close to heaven as you can get on earth. Yes, to me anyway, this is war without violence. As Metallica's guitarist announces at the end of the presentation: "God Bless Rock and Roll baby!" Stay safe everyone SEPT 21 FL USA
RIP Jeff. The great inspirer for several generations of guitarists is gone. But the eternal legend has been born that from infinity will accompany us with his great chords and solos.
As a guitar player myself I can say without reservation that no one can touch Jeff Beck. He is on another plane altogether. The man is truly the definition of a guitar God!
JB fan since 68 and unfortunately in settings like this the virtuosity is always there but there is no warmth. Not softness or anything weak more depth would be great.
@@ronaldmorr9445 To each their own. You have every right to your opinion. I ABSOLUTELY think Jimmy is the GOAT. Almost every person I've ever spoken to believes Jimmy is #1 also.
Another tragic loss for music. I don't think I ever heard a guitarist that could get so many different sounds and tones just by using his hands and the tremolo bar with incredibly precise and lyrical technique. But he left us with a treasure trove of great music. R.I.P. Jeff. You will be missed but never forgotten..
R. I.P. Jeff....忘れもしない2009 2.21&22/ さいたまスーパーアリーナ(Saitama Super Arena)に於いてEric Clapton とのジョイントライヴが凄まじかった。Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton のこの贅沢なライヴ... マディー•ウォーターズやジミー•リード、カーティス•メイフィールド、スライ&ファミリーストーンなどのカヴァー曲を惜しみなく披露し大満足のコンサートでした。Thank you so much ...Jeff 💫 From 🇯🇵
Jeff is one of the best but Jimmy doesn’t take a lead because his playing isn’t what it used to be. He even makes a horrible mistake on the Bolero riff at 3:32. Page stopped making music decades ago and is just resting on his laurels. Beck still puts out new albums and tours constantly.
RIP Jeff Beck. Thank you for your music and for inspiring many guitarists/musicians around the world. You’re still the best. God bless 🙏🏻🕊🎸
🙏😢🙏
Yeah I JUST saw the news. Damn. All the real talent is fading away.
Amen 🙏
Had to find some Beck to play for this sad day. Got to see him solo in 1980. Seeing Jeff give Jimmy a big hug was beautiful.
He was and still is my guitar God we will miss you Jeff Beck

Jeff Beck played with so many great people..and everyone of them looked up to him. They knew he was the G.O.A.T.

Pagey has said that when Jeff is ON he's the best guitar player in the world. Beck is the musician's musician...his technique is so original, versatile and flawless it defies comprehension by gods and mortals alike.
Everyone knows Punky Meadows is more fluid than Jeff Beck. Look it up.
There's no convincing the ignorants of their ignorance. I am in complete agreement with you, Mr. J. Page, Mr. E. Clapton, and millions of others. The man is on another planet when he's in stride. That said, he is also somewhat of an acquired taste......you have to have listened to a untold hours on end of listening to guitar players of all genres to really appreciate what J Beck is offering. With that, I'll completely dismiss the claims made by others that 'their' player is better than Beck
Jeff is always ON. Page and lots of other guitar players are in 2nd place, Beck is without peer.
I like Jeff and there is no doubt he is the master. That all said his actual songs are not so great. Because we Ended as Lovers is a classic. I guess as I have grown older I tend to enjoy music that is less technical and more about feel and tone. Jeff falls more into the shredder category. When I was young I loved that style of play and now not so much. He is truly gifted and has kept it going for decades and that is incredible.
I heard a funny noise this morning, it was my stratocaster gently weeping.
A legend died today. Rest in peace, Mr. Beck.

Love the way that old Jimmy is just happy to play the chords.
No he's not he missed his solo on Train Kept a Rollin. Something happened and a guitar tech had to come fix it around 12:25
@@dogsquadindia ooo good eye!
It's a perfect riff.
Apparently he was gonna do a solo but didn't have his own guitar
The chording is the most difficult and important part in any song as it's what gives the melody , the shredder might get the recognition from the crowd but it's the Rythem section who gets the respect from the band . Playing the full chords you gotta be perfect as one fuck up everyone will notice shredding you can fuck up as many times as you want cause there is always someone to cover your ass , Thats why Page was playing chords and happy doing so .
I've always admired great guitar players my whole life. I've always known of Jeff Beck but never allowed myself to listen to more of his playing. Ikr?!! Spent the night at a friend's house several years ago, and after he called it a night, I continued to stay up and watch VH1 Classic. Jeff Beck was playing. I saw something in him that mesmerized me. The way he could make that guitar literally speak to you man. Unlike Page, Hendrix, Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen, he had not only his own unique style, but left you no choice in being a fan. Talented is not the word. This man was born to blow your mind on a guitar with such meaning. RIP JEFF BECK. What you brought to the table is nothing but legendary. ❤
You mean to tell me that you didn't know that Blow by Blow was heralded as a ground breaker? That fact was even mentioned by the mainstream media. Not by some guitar players in their bedrooms. And you didn't know this?
How can you not love this! RIP...Jeff Beck! 🎸🔥
Man what an amazing performance I don't know how Jeff Beck does it but he just touches that damn thing sounds like a freaking orchestra! So cool to see Jimmy playing with him
I've enjoyed Beck for decades. It's been a joy & thrill watching him live again with Johnny Depp. Looks like such kick butt fun & they are great together. Jeff is absolutely the king
@@bellagrace2313 yep 👍
He's one of a kind for sure.
Jimmy brings that authentic zeppling energy IMMEDIATELY
I watched this last week and told my friend about it the next day. I told him how inspired I was by the humility and masterful musicianship and fun had. It was why I liked music, to begin with. I was left with such gratitude that guys like him were still around. R.I.P. Jeff Beck
So true, that exactly sums it up, 👏🏻🎸💫Jeff !
RIP Jeff Beck. It brings a smile seeing Jimmy and Tal having so much fun playing with him
Rhonda Smith?
RIP 🙏Jeff Beck. To all his family and friends my condolences. Jeff Beck did it all his way.
Jesus!!! Listen to the tone - individually and collectively - wicked!!! So great to see Jeff and Jimmy together! Then, at the end - wtf !!! Incredible talent, all right there - thank you for this posting 👍!!!
The End = PHENOMENAL
A great collection of performances, really great. Beck at his best. Page his old buddy! And all the others...Tal Wilkenfeld!, such a great artist and person.
RIP Jeff Beck. Truly one the best ever. 🎸
Thank you.
I love your guitar.
Seeing Jeff with Jimmy made my day. Thier extreme talents remind me why I love music so much!
♥️♥️🎸🎸
That looks like they all had allot of fun on the stage together...RIP Mr. Beck, thanks for goosebumps throughout out the years...your music will live on forever!
You don't need vocals because Jeff Beck can make his guitar sing.
He did it before the other rock guitarists.
rock shouldn't be sung.
Yes...they all know to let Beck take the lead on the last song too...Ive seen them all except Hendrix. Beck is the best. Everyone knows the quote "When Jeff is 'on', he's the best there is". I wholeheartedly agree. Nobody makes a guitar sing like Beck. He just.didnt have the hits. Who cares.

(rubbing eyes) Did I really just see that?! How many rock gods can fit on one stage? Truly Amazing.
Nothing finer than a man in a suit with an electric guitar playing beautiful music 💜
There's been nobody like him, and there likely won't be anybody like him again. I'm thankful to have been at three of his performances over a 40-some-year span, and each time he knocked my socks off. RIP, Jeff. Thanks for all the great music.
Any time I see Jimmy Page I feel happy.
I don't think there can be enough thumbs up for this video! Beck, bless him kicked ass everywhere all the time! Page without words these two are our generations best!
the world's two greatest guitarists
Hands down, one of the best guitarists of all time! RIP Jeff Beck. Glad I was privileged to see you playing alongside Carlos Santana back in the 90s. What a sad day for rock and roll.
Jeff & Carlos, whoooaaa. I saw Carlos a couple times.
Jeff freakin' Beck!!! What an incredible talent!! This video deserves to get to 1 million views!! It's close!!
What a great success to see all these great guitarists gathered, something unforgettable. Congratulations. Rock forever !!!
During "Immigrant Song" you can see how close JB and Page get, then you see the nodding glances JB gives to Pagey. Great to see that respect and friendship there.
Yep one of the best things about being a player 😉!!
yes these 2 phenomenoms were freinds even when they were still nobodies
Good to see them close again becuase they had fallen out for quite awhile with page remarking there was a strange professional jealousy that developed between them but luckily they patched things up .
They've been friends since they were teenagers. What are the odds of a friendship lasting that long, let alone one that brings two phenomenally talented guitarists together professionally without all the ego driven theatrics that other musicians have succumbed to?
Beck and Page playing Train Kept A Rollin together again gives me chills.
YARDBIRDS!!!
Jeff does not miss a beat, a note, a breath, just a incredable guitar player! Wow! We are going to miss you Jeff. R.I.P
Here to pay homage to the great man. He was one of a kind!
Never ever get tired of hearing Jeff Beck - he always lifts my mood. 🙏🏻💙
The man is truly gifted!
Is that TAL on the bass? IT IS! 02:33
09:40 A million years of talent on stage!! 👏🏻🇨🇦👍🎸🎸
There will be no other. Grateful for Jeff's legacy of unbelievably creative music and all the musicians he inspired. May his music live on through the young musicians he influenced.
Gosh. Another hero gone. Why these two never cut an album is beyond me. Thx for the memories, Mate.
Dave and I saw him in Pittsburgh about ten years ago. I met so many friends that I hadn’t seen in years. Every guitar player in town was there to see the “ Master” . It was GUITAR SCHOOL !
And in the background, Tal Wilkenfeld, is just rocking out soaking up the whole thing. RIP Jeff and thank you.
I wondered. Thanks for confirming
Jeff Beck, Just Best!!! Great player of the guitar truly and going to where some others wait that will be there at the gate! RIP!
In my humble opinion, this is the best band formed by Jeff Beck and the best moment of his career.
Jeff Beck was the Einstein, Pele, and Houdini of the guitar rolled up into one. He was truly one of one. I can hardly see anything through the tears filling my eyes. Thank for sharing your unmatched talent with all of us who were lucky enough to live when he did.
It wàs great to have bý my side during all theses years , I was inspired, every time i touch my guitar, Rip Jeff j RED
I loved watching Jimmy taking a bit of a back seat to Jeff on his night. That shows what kind of person Jimmy was, allowing Jeff to do his "Immigrant Song". Such a class act on Jeff's WELL DESERVED CELEBRATION. There friendship shows here.
Was? He ain’t dead yet.
RIP Jeff.🙏 I grew up on "Bolero" as a teen after hearing Ravel's version as a youngster. My mom and dad loved his version. At 68, I'm grateful I had the freedom to play some of my music for my parents and that I've been able to see this man reinvent himself every time he picked up a guitar.
I recommend Frank Zappa's version of Bolero I think you will enjoy it!!!
I am 66...yeah ..What a Era of Music..
Jeff worked hard...and then for Fun..
@@WillieDuitt1 Thanks, I'll check it out. Don't think I've ever heard it.
Amazing all the way through, their take on the theme from “Peter Gunn” is a marvel! Thanks for posting. Beck Lives!
R.I.P. Jeff Beck Thank You for all of your fabulous music over all the past years,you will me missed💔
What I like most about Mr. Beck is humanly easy going genius. He’s one with his guitar but he had other interest in life. A well rounded genius. Thank you for sharing.
Yay!!! hearing you play.... takes me back to Ham yard, at the Scene.... You and Eric, two of a kind.... RIP, Jeffro. you've left me such wunderful mems......
I use to play Becks bollero when I was 16 years old IME 65 now and it's still brilliant 🌟
With Tal Wilkenfeld backing on base.
Thank you Jeff for encouraging the next generation.
WHAT A TREAT!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!
Wow this is fantastic Jeff Beck was such a unique guitar God.. he never really got his due .... And with Jimmy Page make no mistake people he was The wizard behind Led ZePPelin ....
So glad I was fortunate enough to see Jeff live at least once before his passing. Would have loved to have caught him on tour with Tal & Vinnie. Thanks to all those who captured and shared so much footage on RUclips.
Jeff Beck and Jimmy are unbelievable
The sounds that came from the depth of his being. A musical giant. You will be missed. RIP
These two legends created or at least influenced heavy metal! Becks Bolero was written by Page and Beck in 1966. Genius.
Heavy rock. Heavy metal is a lesser form.
I’d say they’re mostly hard rock. In my opinion Tony Iommi influenced metal more than anyone
Heavy Metal was invented by Steppenwolf. Read the Born to be wild lyrics.
Actually Bolero is a classical tune written by Maurice Ravel. They just jammed around the main motif.
@@andreasoberndorfer5476 Steppenwolf may have used the term, but the bulk of their music, as well as that of Iron Butterfly, were FAR from "Metallic"!
Well Done Jeff. Thank You for sharing your gift.
RIP and join that increadible Hea ven's Band up there is . If we are chosen enough we will see you all up there one day. What a privilege to live in a time where YOU touched those strings for us. Thank you for all that passion and talent you shared with the world of music .
I’m loving the contrast of the two. The heavy and the light. Jeff Beck. He makes it look so effortless. Think the same about his music, too. Effortless.
Beck, Page, Clapton and Hendrix - the greatest guitarists who ever lived and now we have lost two of them. Beck’s passing breaks my heart. We may never see a talent like his again.
Peter Green was and still is better than Clapton
Ever hear of a guy named Stevie ray
Eddie also
The BEST is not mentioned here:
John McLaughlin. If you appreciate Beck's virtuosity, will be heard in McLaughlich even more Amazing. Only McLaughlin is rather in the Jazz and Fusion on-the-go, because in the Rock.
Der in der Mitte ist McLaughlin.

Jeff Beck- Amazing, one of the all-time guitar greats. This version of Beck's Bolero, with Jimmy, absolutely blew me away. The original's DNA- Beck, Jimmy (who wrote it), John Paul Jones, Keith Moon- is insane! Should be the official theme song of the R&R Hall...
I just love this!! Absolutely genius talent on stage - 65 years old, they play like young studs, having an absolute blast playing together. Brilliant music, excellent karma.
A true star. RIP. The world will never sound the same.
Jeff's guitar playing was the Best vocalizations of our lives, THANKYOU Jeff Beck !
Thanks for the music and your incredible talent Jeff. As an electric guitar player, you were the best on the planet by a mile. An inspiration and guitar idol to many . RIP
Becks bolero.. I've still got this on a 7 inch vinyl single
After MANY years of trying to catch Jeff Beck, I finally caught him opening for ZZ Top in Missoula, MT. It was an epic show at a baseball field, of all places. I was literally 15 feet from JB the whole show, right in front of the impromptu stage. There was no barrier or security so we all just bellied right up to the stage. The only other time I've seen a guitar God up that close was Stevie Ray Vaughn in 1988 at the Tufts University Spring Concert in 1988, the best frickin show of my life. Seeing JB jam w/ Billy Gibbons at the end of the show was truly unforgettable. RIP Jeff and SRV. MOLDS BROKEN. ❤🎸
Jeff Beck...guitar legend, musical genius. There will never be another who is comparable. And he was as great a man as he was a musician. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rock, blues, even jazz is a little less with his loss. RIP Jeff. You were and still are loved by millions. Not a bad legacy!
If you want to see & hear the opinions of all Jeff’s contemporaries - what they think of him as one of the greatest guitarists ever in the music industry - watch Jeff Beck: Still On the Run. When you hear them all say, ‘’There is Jeff Beck…and everybody else,’’ you know one of the top 2-3 guitarists of all time left this earth yesterday. RIP, Jeff.
Guys like Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose and their ability to play such awesome versions of the theme from Peter Gunn as heard by Jeff Beck and Ronnie Montrose's version of A Town Without Pity bring another dimension to the legacy as guitar gods by exposing another whole genre to their audiences. We are lacking of their talents every day since they have passed yet thanks to this and other video cache collections can hold on to their brilliance.
Can I just say Vinnie Colaiuta is a tremendous drummer.
Thank you Sir...
Another reason to be glad of the time of when I grew up...
Just try watching the Jeff Beck memorial in Britain , just couldn't it was missing the best 🎸 player ever Jeff Beck 👍‼️ So I found this 👍👍‼️
Great post, thank you Sir. In my book, this post, which displays the two GOAT British masters of electric guitar, Beck and Page (and friends), proves that above all forms of art, music is timeless, endless, primal and as close to heaven as you can get on earth. Yes, to me anyway, this is war without violence. As Metallica's guitarist announces at the end of the presentation: "God Bless Rock and Roll baby!" Stay safe everyone SEPT 21 FL USA
Another great musician gone. RIP Jeff Beck. Jeff is playing on another level now.
He always played on another level.
RIP Jeff. The great inspirer for several generations of guitarists is gone. But the eternal legend has been born that from infinity will accompany us with his great chords and solos.
You know Johnny Depp is so thankful he’s spent so much time with Jeff these past several months!
Saw Beck around 2013 for the first and last time. So glad I did. The dude really got the chop.
As a guitar player myself I can say without reservation that no one can touch Jeff Beck. He is on another plane altogether. The man is truly the definition of a guitar God!
Buckethead will be able too .....
Larry Coryell?
ruclips.net/video/Z9dYOoLqwmE/видео.html
JB fan since 68 and unfortunately in settings like this the virtuosity is always there but there is no warmth. Not softness or anything weak more depth would be great.
you got THAT right. Becks the best. Thats why the others defer to Beck
@@ronaldmorr9445 To each their own. You have every right to your opinion. I ABSOLUTELY think Jimmy is the GOAT. Almost every person I've ever spoken to believes Jimmy is #1 also.
Can't say they aren't having FUN!! Love it!! Vinnie carries it wonderfully, too!
Vinnie is *the man* Neil Peart was amazing, but I think Vinnie blows him away with sheer groove
RIP to a guitar guru. Thank you for sharing your genius with us.
RIP 😔
Another tragic loss for music. I don't think I ever heard a guitarist that could get so many different sounds and tones just by using his hands and the tremolo bar with incredibly precise and lyrical technique. But he left us with a treasure trove of great music. R.I.P. Jeff. You will be missed but never forgotten..
R. I.P. Jeff....忘れもしない2009 2.21&22/ さいたまスーパーアリーナ(Saitama Super Arena)に於いてEric Clapton とのジョイントライヴが凄まじかった。Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton のこの贅沢なライヴ... マディー•ウォーターズやジミー•リード、カーティス•メイフィールド、スライ&ファミリーストーンなどのカヴァー曲を惜しみなく披露し大満足のコンサートでした。Thank you so much ...Jeff 💫 From 🇯🇵
招聘元のウドー音楽事務所(UDO)に感謝。ありがとうございました。奇跡の2days でした✨
Wenn Page plays rhythm guitar, the lead player must be GOOD!!
He is... I just saw his show at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, October 29th.
Lmao I was thinking the exact same thing….
Almost when he is called Jeff Beck.
Jeff is one of the best but Jimmy doesn’t take a lead because his playing isn’t what it used to be. He even makes a horrible mistake on the Bolero riff at 3:32. Page stopped making music decades ago and is just resting on his laurels. Beck still puts out new albums and tours constantly.
I saw Jeff at Paris Olympia this summer and he was great, execpted at the end when J. Deep arrived on stage, playing more the pirate than guitar :) :)
