My first ever gig was Jimi playing this at the Alby London. Jeff shows us how to play an electric guitar from the soul.. Just like Jimi. Spellbindingly Brilliant. Thanks for putting it up here.
The sound reproduction on this is unbelievable! Jeff's guitar is right where it should be. Drums are right up there! The vocal is in the perfect place. Whoever engineered this has his ears glued on in the right place! ✌️❤️
This was the best I have heard on this song. Even though SRV is a fantastic artist, Beck just puts his own touch in everything he does and makes it amazing. The drummer also added such a greatness to this. I need to add, everyone who played that night was brilliant. I never should leave any artist out. Sorry for being bias.
Incredible cover... I mean there isn't one note to withdraw from this. It's not shredding, it goes along the progression incredibly well... What a feeling in this! Great voice and great drums too, props to the drummer. But god, Beck is something else, really!
+MrHexode The drummer is also a producer, producing and co-writing on Whitney Houston's albums, Barbara Streisand, and a bazillion others. Great drummer as well as a producer and also has hits on his own. Look him up, Narada Michael Walden. He was amazing when I saw Beck live in 2010 in Indianapolis. Walden smiles the entire concert.
+Ed Houck He played drums for Tommy Bolin. When I saw him with Jeff in Oct. 2011, I had my Tommy Bolin tee shirt on and they played Stratus by Billy Cobham that Tommy Bolin played on. It was pretty amazing, and I think that since I was the fan that was the most into the show, Narada Michael Walden handed me both his drum sticks at the end of the show!
Great Tribute. Jimi would have wanted other artists covering his songs, to play them in their own way and not to just copy him. That's the way Jimi covered other's songs, the Experience way. This was well done in Beck's unique style and Jimi would be smiling with approval.
fourashbury A great example of a guitar player who continues to grow. No question Jeff Beck can out play me, but Jeff Beck can outplay Jeff Beck. Should give all of us players inspiration.
fourashbury I totally agree. Any artist of Jimi's stature would have appreciated what Jeff Beck did here by putting his own twist on it. He gets that you don't play the original note for note (B-O-R-I-N-G). Great job.
I can tell y'all this: Jimi Hendrix never wanted to be worshipped and neither does Jeff Beck, but what Jimi DID want is for this song to live on. It came ripping out of his inner soul, down in there where he lived, and he'd be happy to hear Jeff play it.
MAN! That is the best rendition I've ever heard of Jimi's classic. The vocals, Beck's playing, the tone of his guitar, everything was just beautiful. I hope I don't sound corny, but I got a lump in my throat... (side note: Notice that Jeff finger picked the song... more remarkableness)
Jeff Beck.... completely insouciant..... If you didn't know that the music was emanating from him because you'd been told, you might be fooled by that totally calm exterior! What a genius. I think Hendrix would have been very pleased.
And then I think, It's Jeff Beck - he never fails to disappoint. He's not the greatest songwriter in the world, but I've give anything to play like that. Love this guy ...
Beautiful rendition by a virtuoso of the guitar, he brings out so much emotion... surprised not many mentions of the Clapton/Allman (Derek & Dominos) rendering of this song...
wow it's been a very long time since i heard Jeff Beck.He is awesome on playing guitar most of all.playing different heavy Riffs sounds.Jeff Beck Rocks very Tallented Man
Uau..this is simply unbelieveble!! Jeff Beck paying a tribute to Hendrix with his own and unique approach! And the drummer is just amazing! What a great voice!
Man, I think I like this band iteration even better than his 2010 band with Vinnie and Tal. Narada and Rhonda made that groove sound like they wrote it in the first place. Still kicking myself for missing them in August.
Jeff........what Can i say from the Yardbirds to you Now a complete package truely Awesome From Ronnie Scotts to this and your still in outstanding form thank you for all your incredible Music .truely Astounding
Jeff Beck is the best living guitar player today. I LOVE Jimi Hendrix, but Jeff plays this better than Jimi did! And I saw Jimi play live when I was like 14 or 15.
One of the all-time best versions of Little Wing it's ever gonna be possible to hear!
Jeff Beck is easily in the top five of electric guitarists ever, sheer ability.
My first ever gig was Jimi playing this at the Alby London. Jeff shows us how to play an electric guitar from the soul.. Just like Jimi. Spellbindingly Brilliant. Thanks for putting it up here.
The sad thing is that most people and especially the young people will never hear of this or Jeff Beck..Theyre missing a true legend.
The sound reproduction on this is unbelievable! Jeff's guitar is right where it should be. Drums are right up there! The vocal is in the perfect place. Whoever engineered this has his ears glued on in the right place! ✌️❤️
Jeff Beck is the most under appreciated guitar player of all time. What a talent.
Another classic in the hands of one of the few guitar players who can do this remarkable song justice. Nice one!
It's Beck's humility in the face of genius that makes him still so appealing after all these years.
Jeff's technique, control, style, and execution is simply masterful.
Never been A Jeff Beck fan, but this blew me away, amazing guitar skills, brilliant tribute to Jimmy's song.
I heard his "truth" album about 50 years ago, I knew him and Rod was special as soon as I heard it.
He was progressive then and still is today.
This is a wonderful cover by Jeff Beck. Loved him since back in thev70's.
Thank you for playing Jimi. Don't ever forget him. His soul is in every guitar ever made.
Jeff Beck one of the living guitar legends.
great performance, Jeff Beck is among the most great guitar players ever...
Great job and the drummer did a great job with the lyrics!!

The drummer is "Narada" Michael Walden.
Thank you. I never did catch his name prior.
Agreed. Eric Clapton over the yrs.has done "Little Wing" great too.Jimi is smiling from the heavens. RIP
Michael Narada Walden on drums and lead vocals.
I spend days and nights listening to your music, Jeff !
Thanks' for the ride
Great cover, great dynamics. Probably the best rendition of this classic... ever
Great cover of this beautiful song. I think Jimi would love it!!!
It true . He’s not underappreciated by anyone that matters in the world of guitar or music.
Incredible cover... I mean there isn't one note to withdraw from this. It's not shredding, it goes along the progression incredibly well... What a feeling in this! Great voice and great drums too, props to the drummer. But god, Beck is something else, really!

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate, I'll check this out tonight with a good headset!
+MrHexode beck always has great drummers:cozy powell,simon phillips,jonathan joseph,just to name a few.
+Ed Houck He played drums for Tommy Bolin. When I saw him with Jeff in Oct. 2011, I had my Tommy Bolin tee shirt on and they played Stratus by Billy Cobham that Tommy Bolin played on.

+Ed Houck narada micheal walden has had more number1 singles then any other producer
There is no other than Jeff Beck loved him since the 60s.
Jeff is so underrated. He has so clearly surpassed so many of his peers. Love his style and skills, subtlety and amazing sounds.
OMG! What a find this is! Love it; such talent ... thank you!
Great Tribute. Jimi would have wanted other artists covering his songs, to play them in their own way and not to just copy him. That's the way Jimi covered other's songs, the Experience way. This was well done in Beck's unique style and Jimi would be smiling with approval.

This is why we love Jeff, effortless playing. Fun echo and reverb, easy mastery!
what a drummer/vocalist
wwwwwwwwwow
He’s the famous american producer Narada Michael Walden.
MAN! That is the best rendition I've ever heard of Jimi's classic. The vocals, Beck's playing, the tone of his guitar, everything was just beautiful. I hope I don't sound corny, but I got a lump in my throat...
(side note: Notice that Jeff finger picked the song... more remarkableness)
Thats how he plays nearly every song.
Awesome!!!!!! One of the most beautiful songs ever.
I was there! I can't explain how good it sounds live.
If I could like this a billion times I would! Thank you so much for this! Consider the thought the gift :)
One of my favorite guitar players, Done very well! Said chipalmy!
Only one word....Masterful!
I'm in awe, this stuff is magic!
Jeff Beck, Narada Michael Walden, Rhonda Smith
JUST BEAUTIFUL....
Lovely, and a great vocal performance too!
Fantastica versione, grazie Jeff Beck, grazie Narada Michael Walden.
That's beautiful man! Jimi would be proud.
just wonderful, a painter of notes
Jeff Beck.... completely insouciant..... If you didn't know that the music was emanating from him because you'd been told, you might be fooled by that totally calm exterior! What a genius. I think Hendrix would have been very pleased.
Good guitar work from Jeff and brilliant vocals by Narada Michael Walden!!!
The best cover in my opinion
WOW!!! Just awesome brings to another time when I was a younger man learn to play the guitar...
Jeff is a great guitarrist, and this homenage to Jimi is amazing.
And then I think, It's Jeff Beck - he never fails to disappoint. He's not the greatest songwriter in the world, but I've give anything to play like that. Love this guy ...
Beautiful rendition by a virtuoso of the guitar, he brings out so much emotion... surprised not many mentions of the Clapton/Allman (Derek & Dominos) rendering of this song...
Yes they did that great.
Very good cover for Jimi's! I mean actually brilliant! The best i've heard really!
It doesn't get any better than this
mind blown more than i thought it would be. great supporting band as per Beck
sweet! best cover of this song yet
jimi would approve. excellent playing. great feeling. loved it.
Great cover,by a great Guitarist.
we all know Jeff is a legend , i just want to big up the drummer ,
I love that he doesn't use a pick. I have always played without one and he's someone I can really look up to in that regard
For me, I can "feel" the strings/music better. If I could play 1/10 like Beck I'd be satisfied. Make that 1/50.
Same, dude. He is seriously talented.
Same here, no pick
I can't play at all without pick though...
Playing without a pick seemingly makes playing the guitar really fun. Distortion/bends sound very nice on top of that.
Great cover. Little Wing with a twist of Beck
Jimi would have been proud....nice tribute
Wow! Thats beautiful tone!!!!
wow it's been a very long time since i heard Jeff Beck.He is awesome on playing guitar most of all.playing different heavy Riffs sounds.Jeff Beck Rocks very Tallented Man
WOW! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎤
What an amazing performance!!!
Such a loving to tribute from one friend to another.
This is beautiful
Uau..this is simply unbelieveble!! Jeff Beck paying a tribute to Hendrix with his own and unique approach! And the drummer is just amazing! What a great voice!
You should hear what Beck & Seal do with Manic Depression!
Thanks, I will.. I like them both a lot!
Le Daros You'll love it!
Brilliant cover! Jeff is still the guv'nor....
Jimi was the best then and still is today. He would be honored by Jeff's performance though. Jeff Beck, fabulous!
Hendrix would love his version
how about the bass? She's excellent as well. But would Jeff Beck surround himself with anything but the best?
*JUST PERFECT!!!*
Increible!
A tear wells in my minds eye.
Man, I think I like this band iteration even better than his 2010 band with Vinnie and Tal. Narada and Rhonda made that groove sound like they wrote it in the first place. Still kicking myself for missing them in August.
I respect SRV version, always will. Beck's technique. Breathtaking and honoring. Plenty of guitar respect for all who push the envelope.
Narada Michael Walden mandando bem na bateria e no vocal. Ótima versão.
drummer is Narada "supreme musician" Walden
Beck covering Hendrix .... does it get any better than that ?!!!
so good it made me lonely for jimi.
yeah for sure.I love Beck, this is some heavy music right here lol
Jeff........what Can i say from the Yardbirds to you Now a complete package truely Awesome From Ronnie Scotts to this and your still in outstanding form thank you for all your incredible Music .truely Astounding
Really nice, Beck stays true to the melody but adds his own flair.
Beck is in my Top Ten
Jeff Beck, number ONE.....
thanks!
Brilliant
Great Tone!
Inconcievable. Jimi would approve
Ye ye.. very nice song! Cool drumer-singer and sure great Jeff. Thx all and sure Jimy!
jeff beck does it again!!!
St. Jeff just carves such a hearful drama on his guitar fret...
泣けるぜ
Jimi would of absolutely loved Jeff's cover of Little Wing... Damn nice job and respectfully done Jeff...
This is awesome
Amazing how finger style over a pick makes a guitar player stand out
hiram bullock's solo on sting's cover is pretty great also.
Jeff Beck is the best living guitar player today. I LOVE Jimi Hendrix, but Jeff plays this better than Jimi did! And I saw Jimi play live when I was like 14 or 15.
rock on jimi
Turn the bass up!!!!
Go on, Jeff!!!!!!!
Wow amazing
