Anyone who loves electric guitar should watch this. The energy and tone, and Jeff's guitar expressions. I'm glad I saw him once. So truly devastated at his passing. RIP Jeff Beck the greatest rock player there ever was.
it is a "sad state of affairs" that this concert of one of the greatest guitarist of ALL TIME only has 12,000 + views. this concert is a master class in note manipulation and attack as well as technical proficiency! both reasons of why JEFF BECK is the GUITARIST'S GUITARIST.
No vocalist. Instrumentalist / instrumentals are never as popular. People like their vocals and lyrics, especially women, that cuts out half your potential audience. Where would EVH be without DLR?
@@rc3754 True, and EVH would probably be a big star like Beck, not a massive global household name like he is. His talent is extreme like Beck and honestly I think they're very similar artists in many ways, particularly in how unique and inventive each is; quite different because they're unique artists, but similar in wildness, a natural brilliant sense of timing, unique and beautiful melodies and insane tones! I have always been blown away by Beck's success; one of the few players great enough to blow away entire stadiums full of rock and roll fans with no vocals, and nobody complaining!
I just found out that Jeff died. I'm sorry for your and our loss. I loved and always will love his Blow by Blow recording. But I never followed him too closely. I'm not a musician and maybe that has a lot to do with that. I've just watched a video of him playing live in Baloise Switzerland in 2017. What a great F-ing show. Strange for me. Now that he is dead, only now, do I see and hear, what you guitar freaks are freaking out about. Take care of yourself and R.I.P. Mr. Jeff Beck. May the younger generation carry the baton forward.
I was blessed to have seen Beck live a few times from the 70’s through the 80’s. I got so busy making music for a living that I really never had a chance to see him live again… bummer. He has influenced my playing more than anyone. The most exquisitely unique Guitarist of ALL Time in my book. I’ve been playing Jeff Beck’s music for well over 40 years… he is still the hardest to copy. From Hendrix to Zappa, all other guitarists are easy in comparison. Just a fact. He was always changing, getting better, and growing. Beck was always about taste; that’s why he was and always will be the greatest Melody Maker Guitar Player. End of. 🙏🏼
Whoa there ease off the gas son. Zappa easier than Beck? So, you have mastered the "chicken versus the spider to the death" technique? Hong Kong Martial arts voice over, 'Your skills are quite impressive...however...observe...lol.
Jeff Beck's death hurt me as much as when either of my parents passed away. As a matter of fact, his being on the planet creating some of the most incredible guitar playing was strong heart felt medicine that helped me get thru the day/night. The last year has been extremely hard on me emotionally for various reasons. Listening to his music has been helpful, but it always reminds me that the #GOATGuitarist is no longer with us but his musical endeavors will always be here for his family, friends, & fans to enjoy. How much did I love Jeff Beck ? I got to see him 15 times perform his guitar artistry in concert. 1) "Fire Meets Fury" with Stevie Ray Vaughan in Chicago, Illinois 1989 2) 2 times with Santana in 3 days in Illinois & Wisconsin 1995 3) "Who Else" tour 2 times in Illinois 1999 4) "You Had It Coming" tour in Illinois 2001 5) Eric Clapton "Crossroads" shows in 2007 & 2010 in Bridgeview, Illinois 6) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in Cleveland,Ohio 2009 7) Intimate club tour at Park West, Chicago 2009 8) Les Paul tribute tour with Imelda May, Cadillac Theater, Chicago,Illinois 2011 9) Chicago Theater 2015 10) "Loud Hailer" Ravinia Highland Park, Illinois 2016 11) Performed half hour encore with Rod Stewart Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, California 2019 12) "18" tour with Johnny Depp Phoenix, Arizona 2022 EVERY time I saw Jeff Beck perform in concert he never disappointed anyone in attendance. He only got better & better mastering the guitar as the years went on in his life. He was the only musician I have ever seen in my lifetime that propelled me to a place I had only experienced when seeing him live. I was so happy & joyful when I was in attendance watching/listening to him tear it up. I'll never be in that place again unfortunately. I am so grateful & lucky to have seen "The Guv'nor" of guitar as many times as I had. After he passed away, I was feeling every negative feeling anyone could experience. I was devastated. The one thing that helped get me thru the pain was all the famous guitarists & their comments about Jeff Beck. Basically EVERYBODY loved Jeff Beck as far as his guitar playing but also that he was such a kind & humble person to be around. The only thing he loved more than his self made cars & guitar collection was his widow Sandra. Jeff & Sandra were big time animal activists which is another reason why I respected them so much. I miss him. Always will. But I will never forget him or the extraordinary music he created with his guitar. He was "One of One". We will never see another guitarist like him in our lifetime. RIP Jeff Beck.
Bless Jeff Beck 🙏 A force of nature World treasure Gift to all Guitar genius Music legend Madman! Hotrod effectionado Loving husband Wonderful human being Melodies that move the heart; fire 🔥 that transforms the soul; rhythms that shake the body. Words can't do justice to this incredible guitar master. Thank you Jeff Beck 🙏 from the bottom of our hearts 💕
WoW! If anyone wonders why Jeff is so revered and loved .. play them this! The album “Blow by blow” is rightly lauded but IMO it’s “Wired”, (where the explosive material here landed from) that is one of the greatest incendiary guitar expositions of all time. As Ritchie Blackmore said in his recent tribute to him “He is the best rock and roll guitarist” He has given us so much.
Was at this show,it was the first and only time I saw Jeff Beck and Bozzio! Had seen Santana there several times but I watch this show in Awe! Mouth wide open!
I hear you, brother, and I’m feeling it too. It’s the loss not just of a great player, but of a beloved mentor and teacher who never stopped showing us new things over his 60 year career. And as the years went on, it was increasingly in his live performances that his genius was on fullest display-the studio recordings are great and will last forever, but that was only half of him.
He was on fire this night. I believe he was actually better at 75 than 45. His whammy bar control before he died was amazing. He was picking out individual notes on the whammy bar.
I was there that night. Santana played first, excellent as always and ended with a really rousing "Oye Como Va" which brought down the house as of course they are a Bay Area band. Many minutes elapsed until Jeff Beck came on. The house lights finally came down, the band began a slow beat and then there was a sound like an air raid siren coming from offstage. That was Jeff Beck, who strolled on playing perhaps the best ever recorded version of "Hurricane" - the cameraman on this video captured the moment perfectly. From the first notes the crowd was going wild. Beck didn't bring the house down - he burned it down that night! Never to be forgotten and so grateful to have a video record of one of Jeff's best concerts.
Thank you a thousand times for putting this concert on RUclips … and for filming it. Absolutely the best. What an audience …. huge and happy and wonderfully appreciative. The whole band were fantastic beyond all imagination ❤
Thanks for sharing this. I was at this show with Ronnie Montrose. Sadly, another important guitarist that left us way too soon. But what an incredible performance overall and an incredible lineup! However, I do remember Jeff having guitar troubles now that I watched the ending. Man! Ripped all of the strings right off that strat. LOL! He sure was p-o'd. Ronnie was developing a portable amp called the Big Amp and he had brought one to give to Jeff. After meeting with him backstage and handing over the amp he promptly came back out feeling rather brushed off. But Jeff was in no mood to talk gear and I can understand why.
I'm very fortunate to have seen Jeff in 2018, here in Utah. I've seen many great Concerts since the 70's. In my own humble opinion he rates in the top five for me quite easily. RIP Jeff Beck, you will be missed.
I have seen Beck over 20 times. I saw this tour 2 nights before this gig at the Greek. This is his greatest performance ever trust me. I thought the stage was going to catch on fire-STUNNING
Greek in L.A. ? Awesome bro, I was at this show! And I concur, the greatest ever. No small reason being Terry Bozzio on drums! Guitar 🎸 Shop! (Although I must say, I saw him at the Warfield Theater in S.F. for the "Who Else?" album, and that was outstanding as well!) But this one is special!
Holy jeebus.... Terry Bozzio doing an "answer and call" duet with Beck on "Behind the Veil"? IN-SAAAANE..... If Jeff Beck played drums, he'd be Terry Bozzio. Change my mind!
This may be the greatest live Jeff Beck show I've ever seen, and there are plenty to chose from, but this one is really something special. He doesn't overdo the tremolo bar on each note which he started doing, IMO, a bit too much in the upcoming century, especially during live shows. A lot of people don't like the Guitar Shop album saying it's too "techno," I hear what they're saying but that's because they don't hear how great the guitar playing is. And, the Guitar Shop album is where he really started that amazingly precise tremolo bar work, as in "Where Were You," which blew me away and a lot of other great guitar players. The only ones who can do it are on RUclips and 12 years old. And, he kept getting better and better at it, he is truly one of the most innovative electric guitar players of all times. Thank you to whoever posted it.
Guitar Shop is a pretty straight rock album imo and I love every note. The next one ("Who Else!") is where some say it's "too techno" but I think it's freakin' brilliant! Most techno music, of course, is just pounding 4-on-the-floor drums with no rhythm or syncopation and OF COURSE, zero guitar (all keys/synths, usually). Totally lifeless, soulless. But Beck fixes all that: there's rhythm, dynamics... excitement. And of course, he adds his own unique touch on the guitar on top of it all. And there's more than just that kind of music, anyway; it's a varied album with straight rock, some blues, some atmospheric rock, etc. It's one of my favorite albums of his! So underrated.....
Guitar Shop too techno? Huh? Anybody see the Jennifer Batten tour? Anyone here hear Flash? That is his only dog in my opinion. Guitar shop is a natural evolution from There and Back. I've been gobsmacked by theses '90's shows, and yeah, this concert is a friggin' sonic masterpiece. That's when you get smug as hell cuz you brought a fried and watched them stare at the sun. And you say to yourself, "told you so!" That's how good they are. Go to Wolfgang's Vault. No too many shows, but they are Bill Graham's sound board records. Jeff and Bill didn't care for each other, but the recording s are great. ✌️🎸
I saw the next show after this at the shoreline in Mountain View, as I’m pulling up to turn left into the parking lot, Jeff cuts us all off and drives in in a 40s hot rod roadster, it was red. He opened and Santana closed the show. It was epic and on my top five all time concerts. It was fun seeing all the Santana fans get all excited when Jeff was playing, it was a great pairing for a tour. Awesome year for music!
This was a great tour that fortunately I got to see when they came in my area . It was phenomenal...both acts.... although admittedly I was there to mainly to see Jeff Beck ...but c'mon Carlos brought it too. Great memories R.i.p.Mr Beck
I’ve been collecting Jeff Beck albums and bootlegs since I was able 12 years old around 1970. I have yet to hear one that wasn’t outstanding! Miss you, brother Jeff. Thanks for the soundtrack of my life. Nothing better then listening to JB while rebuilding a hot rod motor (like he did)! Peace, DrRick
Great concert. And yes the camera is perfect, where it belongs tribute the greatest guitarist Ever, with Jimi of course. There will never be a Beck again and so happy I watch him three times. What a Genius. I've been watching the Ronnie Scott gig every evening the last month, cause I saw something new everytime and suddenly came the news he was dead?? I was drunk several days after. My all-time hero and mentor....-together with JJ. Cale, are both dead now. Heaven got some really new beautiful stars now. R. I. P Maestros 🌹🙏🎸🎶
Wow, and hearing all the cheering too… so glad that wasn’t edited out and the amazing encore. He let a member of the audience try out his beloved guitar!! But then he was bashing g his own guitar head to get the sound and threw it in the floor!!! Must get so hyped up. No wonder with that crowd. Amazing sound all through the concert…. and it’s not finished yet 🤩🤗🎶❤️
Wow 😎😙Awesome, 0n Fire !!! , Excellent Job, Thanks for Sharing this Great Recording 😁LOVE it !! Seen this Tour in Philadelphia PA and Atlantic City N.J. and He was On , This Shows How AMAZING Jeff BECK is and Bozzio Great Band !!!! Thank You Again I Really Enjoyed This as I have Seen Jeff just about every Tour since 72 , LOVE THIS !!!! Thank You Again
One of the better Beck posts. Amazing performance. I caught this show in Portland but I don't remember him tearing his guitar strings off. Ha. Unbelievable and I've seen him 7-8 times. Thanks for posting Miles, you're awesome!
I saw Jeff Beck and SRV at the Oakland Coliseum, unfortunately Jeff didn’t jam with SRV and Carlos Santana at the end…still an awesome show. Jeff is on point on this show! Thank you for posting!
Thank you who ever put up this post..love it.I saw this group opening up for Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Oakland coliseum just right before SRV died.It was one one the best concert I had ever seen.Beck was on my bucket list since day one of The Yardbirds..Rave Up album.
Saw this band the night before in Sacramento on 9/15/95 with Santana. Awesome performances by both 🎸🎸 Santana went on last and was very good. The set was fun, enjoyable and festive, everything a closing set should be but what Beck did that night was just brilliant and high-potency! That being said, I’ll never forget the Guitar Shop tour in 1989, the first time I saw Beck, who happened to also have Bozzio and Hymas then. I must have seen Beck at least a dozen times now, those performances never get old
What a wonderful sound coming from Jeff Beck. A pity I came in to hear this music too late. I would love to see this and hear it in a story!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
After seeing Jeff Beck so many times, there were good Jeff Beck nights and there were Jeff Beck was on fire GREAT nights. You were lucky enough to capture one of the latter! Thank you for sharing. Bought me back!
I will never forget this show. JEFF AND I Share the same B-day. Santana moved my soul, they were first. It was a perfect summer night and Jeff was in a great mood and signaled to the Audience " what do u want to hear, the crowd was dumbstruck and silent, so at the top of my lungs I shouted "where were u" he went right into it and played it so beautiful that everyone I could see was wipping tears from their eyes. Best evening ever.
I saw this tour in San Diego when he opened for Santana. After a number of songs, the guy sitting next to me, said "What, no singing?". I just laughed.
'Peoples' that need "singing" suck (in my experience). Thats ok. Let 'us' enjoy to 'ourselves'. Go to any Vai tour & you'll know. Finally got to see Jeff Beck live in 2019 & after working for years working live sound desks, I was amazed how Jeff played so off the cuff with real emotion in the moment.
Grew up with beck.truth album brand new sis played it .1st saw him carnegie hall 72 or so rough n ready n 2nd album out with middleton,cozy etc...n saw him arms concert 83 msg ...b 64 soon saw lot
Guitar Shop was a very rock album. Seemed like a no-brainer for T Bozzio post Missing Persons. Having achieved drummer rockstar status. But JBs fusion had led a lot of us into jazz already.
This is an unbelievable performance with Jeff Beck at the top of his game. Thanks for posting this. Is the first tune from the the Steve Lukather sessions that never were released ? That such a cool intro tune
First of all thank you for uploading this great event. I had the pleasure of attending this event. Although it sounds great, like most great artists seeing them live is a unique experience. This is especially true of great guitarists, as the audio experience, in this case was breathtaking. On this tour Santana and Beck rotated closing duties. As this was the SF Bay Area, after Santana opened half the audience left, I improved my seating and enjoyed an absolutely epic show and virtuoso performance.
Haha. Well, those Santana fans don’t know what they missed. After 50 or so years a fan, I finally saw Beck in 2019, and you’re right, there is no substitute for Jeff’s Marshalls barking at you live. Incredible performer.
I saw Jeff on this tour: 8/23 in Noblesville, IN. Unforgettable evening of masterful guitar work; loved every minute. Thanks so much for the upload; this is golden, top-notch footage.
I wish I had seen this tour, but I had to choose between this and a Jimi Hendrix tribute concert in Seattle with lots of musicians including Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, and John McLaughlin among many others.
Funny thing was, after Santana did his set the majority of the crowd left; leaving me and all the other guitar nuts to enjoy Beck's amazing guitar work. I remember a guy saying: "I don't like this guitar shred stuff; lets go," which was probably the only time in history where Beck has been wrongfully described as "shred." What a buffoon, right? Beck came out in a foul mood. I'm not sure why. My guess was his tinnitus. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Jeff was one of the first artists to use in ear monitors. Maybe he was adjusting? He hadn't toured in years too. He looked amazing. Those arms were cut; and that long, thick hair. I remember thinking: "Is this guy getting younger?" I made eye contact with Jeff and I seemed to brighten his mood a bit. He smiled because I was simply thrilled to see him. I suppose my enthusiasm was very obvious. ;) The buddy I went with was new to Beck. He summarized JB's performance perfectly: "I did not know a guitar could make so many sounds." Inside joke: I'll never forget the 8/23 date because 4 years later I married a girl with an 8/23 birthday. I'm not going to say you made the wrong choice in concert choosing, but wow....that's a tough one. Sorry for talking your leg off; can't help it, I dearly love Geoffrey Arnold Beck; the only guitarist that brings tears down my cheekbone one minute, and makes me wanna fight the next.
Thanks for sharing. I love Beck too. Became a fan in high school back in the 80s, and had to wait 18 years to see him live. Never can get too many Jeff anecdotes.
This is a great concert by the immortal Jeff Beck. Thanks to the people who filmed and uploaded it. However, it's misidentified. The bassist is the equally outstanding Pino Palladino.
I saw this tour at what was then called Great Woods in Mass. my friend told me after the show at some point my mouth was just hanging open. We re both guitar
What's interesting with this show is the guitar he is playing is his typical strat but at the time he had the Jeff Beck version that I still think had the lace sensor pickups. Yet this guitar doesn't use those and soon his signature guitar would change to not include lace sensors. Of all the signature guitars Fender has made, the Jeff Beck version never seemed to be the guitar he actually used (lace sensors, or lace sensor humbucker, or LSR roller nut instead of split Wilkinson nut). -P
What a great gang of musicians on stage and of course jeff one off no one will sound like jeff again master of the whammy bar and volume control thanks jeff for all the years of listening to you rip jeff 🙏
Loved the guitar tones this time frame. I'd like to say he was at his prime during the Guitar Shop era, but he just kept kicking it into different areas no man has gone before. Lets just day he had a harder edge coupled with physical attitude & mastery of his instrument. Seen him in New Jersey during this tour running into some old buds from 20 years earlier when I used to play his albums while we partied. They were completely speechless after witnessing Jeff'splaying that evening. I wish I could only play as well as he can on his worst day. Long Live JEFF BECK!!!!!
mr. beck at his best - was at the 1980 edinburgh Scotland 'there and back' with simon phillips on drums - and this is the equal concert - thanks for uploading
I travelled through from Glasgow for that show and didn’t get “ There And Back “ as the snow was so bad I stayed at a mates house just outside Glasgow. Went to the Guitar Shop show in Edinburgh-no Pino and Bozzio was WAY too loud so a bit disappointing.
Day On The Green 70's Oakland Coliseum 80's (with Stevie Ray Vaughn) ! Concord Pavillion 90's (with Santana and alone) Warfield Theater S.F. Paramount Theater Oakland Marin County Civic Auditorium (3 nights 🌙 in a row!) Small Theater in Napa Valley Saratoga Winery 2016 (with ZZ Top) ! When and where will be next? I pray very soon! Thank you RUclips. Jeff Beck has enriched and inspired our lives beyond measure. All love and gratitude 🙏 Jeff..... (and all the wonderful musicians he has played with)
He was definitely the top, the best, the coolest musician than ever at that moment..All the phrases,touches,rhythms..have been just amazing...! However.,anything came after that disappointed all.
I Agree with you one of the best live videos i ever saw from the styratocaster god and now he is between them forever there and in my heart i cried when i heard it on the radio
Anyone who loves electric guitar should watch this. The energy and tone, and Jeff's guitar expressions.
I'm glad I saw him once. So truly devastated at his passing. RIP Jeff Beck the greatest rock player there ever was.

Cmxr😮xic
he aint no soul shredder he is the best guitar player i have ever seen in my life
Huge kudos to whoever filmed this, had the camera on Jeff for the whole concert , which was where it belonged. RIP to the great Jeff Beck
His modesty would want the band in the frame.
@Maxine McKenzie 23 Pino too.... everyone is knocking it out of the park, somewhere into outer space.....
right? you expect that when music is filmed in Europe, and it's always a nice surprise when it happens over here, lol.
The Guitar Poet....Thanks Jeff
I was at this show. Jeff Beck was just amazing! He had a legendary supporting cast. Thanks for posting!
I was at this concert, it is still vividly in my heart❤❤❤
Tell you what- Terry Bozzio was back there just KILLING IT!
So is Pino Palladino

Thank you Jeff Beck 🙏 from the bottom of our hearts 💕
Kudos to whoever filmed this. I"d have dropped the camera about 10 minutes in and forgotten completely about it. Man, what playing!
WoW! If anyone wonders why Jeff is so revered and loved .. play them this! The album “Blow by blow” is rightly lauded but IMO it’s “Wired”, (where the explosive material here landed from) that is one of the greatest incendiary guitar expositions of all time.
As Ritchie Blackmore said in his recent tribute to him “He is the best rock and roll guitarist” He has given us so much.
“Jeff Beck cheats sometimes, because he’ll play notes on his guitar that I don’t have” Also Ritchie
Jeff beck - Guitar, Tony Hymas - Keyboards, Terry Bozzio - Drums, Pino Palladino - Bass
Yeah that lineup pretty much say's it all !!! Killer all the way around !!
Odd that Miles Beyond left out Pino on bass.
Was at this show,it was the first and only time I saw Jeff Beck and Bozzio! Had seen Santana there several times but I watch this show in Awe! Mouth wide open!
I've never cared about the death of any other musician as much as I do about Jeff's. Just devastated.
I hear you, brother, and I’m feeling it too. It’s the loss not just of a great player, but of a beloved mentor and teacher who never stopped showing us new things over his 60 year career. And as the years went on, it was increasingly in his live performances that his genius was on fullest display-the studio recordings are great and will last forever, but that was only half of him.
Me neither - I couldn't play guitar for months ...
He was on fire this night. I believe he was actually better at 75 than 45. His whammy bar control before he died was amazing. He was picking out individual notes on the whammy bar.
I DO believe you got that right!
I was there that night. Santana played first, excellent as always and ended with a really rousing "Oye Como Va" which brought down the house as of course they are a Bay Area band.

But this one is special!
Jeff Beck is one of the.all time guitarist
Thanks for posting this, it's incredible. RIP Jeff Beck ~ The Guv'nor
Holy jeebus.... Terry Bozzio doing an "answer and call" duet with Beck on "Behind the Veil"? IN-SAAAANE..... If Jeff Beck played drums, he'd be Terry Bozzio. Change my mind!
Thank you so much for this post!!! I saw/heard this tour. Santana didn't have a chance to top this opening act. 😳
This may be the greatest live Jeff Beck show I've ever seen, and there are plenty to chose from, but this one is really something special. He doesn't overdo the tremolo bar on each note which he started doing, IMO, a bit too much in the upcoming century, especially during live shows. A lot of people don't like the Guitar Shop album saying it's too "techno," I hear what they're saying but that's because they don't hear how great the guitar playing is. And, the Guitar Shop album is where he really started that amazingly precise tremolo bar work, as in "Where Were You," which blew me away and a lot of other great guitar players. The only ones who can do it are on RUclips and 12 years old. And, he kept getting better and better at it, he is truly one of the most innovative electric guitar players of all times. Thank you to whoever posted it.
Guitar Shop is a pretty straight rock album imo and I love every note. The next one ("Who Else!") is where some say it's "too techno" but I think it's freakin' brilliant! Most techno music, of course, is just pounding 4-on-the-floor drums with no rhythm or syncopation and OF COURSE, zero guitar (all keys/synths, usually). Totally lifeless, soulless. But Beck fixes all that: there's rhythm, dynamics... excitement. And of course, he adds his own unique touch on the guitar on top of it all. And there's more than just that kind of music, anyway; it's a varied album with straight rock, some blues, some atmospheric rock, etc. It's one of my favorite albums of his! So underrated.....
Guitar Shop too techno?
Huh? Anybody see the Jennifer Batten tour?
Anyone here hear Flash? That is his only dog in my opinion.
Guitar shop is a natural evolution from There and Back.
I've been gobsmacked by theses
'90's shows, and yeah, this concert is a friggin' sonic masterpiece. That's when you get smug as hell cuz you brought a fried and watched them stare at the sun. And you say to yourself, "told you so!"
That's how good they are.
Go to Wolfgang's Vault. No too many shows, but they are Bill Graham's sound board records.
Jeff and Bill didn't care for each other, but the recording s are great. ✌️🎸
I saw the next show after this at the shoreline in Mountain View, as I’m pulling up to turn left into the parking lot, Jeff cuts us all off and drives in in a 40s hot rod roadster, it was red. He opened and Santana closed the show. It was epic and on my top five all time concerts. It was fun seeing all the Santana fans get all excited when Jeff was playing, it was a great pairing for a tour. Awesome year for music!
This was a great tour that fortunately I got to see when they came in my area . It was phenomenal...both acts.... although admittedly I was there to mainly to see Jeff Beck ...but c'mon Carlos brought it too. Great memories R.i.p.Mr Beck
RIP Jeff Beck! But as a bass player..Pino is KILLING it.
Like Jeff, when does he not....? Surely the front of house guy was recording this? I'd love to get hold of that!
I’ve been collecting Jeff Beck albums and bootlegs since I was able 12 years old around 1970. I have yet to hear one that wasn’t outstanding!
Miss you, brother Jeff. Thanks for the soundtrack of my life.
Nothing better then listening to JB while rebuilding a hot rod motor (like he did)!
Peace,
DrRick
are you jeffs bro
I've been listening to Jeff since the 70s.and seen him. JEFF BECK IS A KILLER
Wonderful music, The true Jeff Beck in full guitar voice! Thank you so much for this!!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
I was at this show!
So awesome to be able to watch and relive this amazing concert of Jeff Beck.
Thank you, thank you! 🔥 love ❤ 💖
I was there also. Two words: HOLY COW!!
Terry has to be the most intense drummer ever. Love him.
That’s Andy Gangadeen on drums ✌️✨
@@jamescassidy3995 Sorry mate. It's Terry Bozzio. Have a look at the closer shot of him during the drum solo at 1:02 hour mark.
Absolutely no mistaking it's Terry Bozzio. Nobody else can play like that. Especially, in the 90's.
Andy Gangadeen is incredible too!
Jeff king of the Strat! 🇨🇦🎸🎼👍
He is a stratocasterist.
What an amazing tour. Some of my favorite shows. RIP JEFF!
Great concert. And yes the camera is perfect, where it belongs tribute the greatest guitarist Ever, with Jimi of course. There will never be a Beck again and so happy I watch him three times. What a Genius. I've been watching the Ronnie Scott gig every evening the last month, cause I saw something new everytime and suddenly came the news he was dead?? I was drunk several days after. My all-time hero and mentor....-together with JJ. Cale, are both dead now. Heaven got some really new beautiful stars now. R. I. P Maestros 🌹🙏🎸🎶
Blow by Blow stays in my truck.
Wow, and hearing all the cheering too… so glad that wasn’t edited out and the amazing encore. He let a member of the audience try out his beloved guitar!! But then he was bashing g his own guitar head to get the sound and threw it in the floor!!!
Must get so hyped up. No wonder with that crowd. Amazing sound all through the concert…. and it’s not finished yet 🤩🤗🎶❤️
I wish my mother could have heard this! Jazz has it's sophisticated influence, and Jeff Beck's dizzyingly super new sounds! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Wow 😎😙Awesome, 0n Fire !!! , Excellent Job, Thanks for Sharing this Great Recording 😁LOVE it !! Seen this Tour in Philadelphia PA and Atlantic City N.J. and He was On , This Shows How AMAZING Jeff BECK is and Bozzio Great Band !!!! Thank You Again I Really Enjoyed This as I have Seen Jeff just about every Tour since 72 , LOVE THIS !!!! Thank You Again
I was at that same Philadelphia show! The Mann Music Center. Pure guitar heaven!
I saw the show in Allentown, PA. F***in’ out of this universe!
One of the better Beck posts. Amazing performance. I caught this show in Portland but I don't remember him tearing his guitar strings off. Ha. Unbelievable and I've seen him 7-8 times. Thanks for posting Miles, you're awesome!
Jeff beck the best rest in peace for ever in Jesus God gave us music rock on
I saw Jeff Beck and SRV at the Oakland Coliseum, unfortunately Jeff didn’t jam with SRV and Carlos Santana at the end…still an awesome show. Jeff is on point on this show! Thank you for posting!
Unbelievable! I know Jeff got better and better… but how do you beat this?! I wish I’d seen this live. It’s crazy!!❤
Thank you who ever put up this post..love it.I saw this group opening up for Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Oakland coliseum just right before SRV died.It was one one the best concert I had ever seen.Beck was on my bucket list since day one of The Yardbirds..Rave Up album.
Saw this band the night before in Sacramento on 9/15/95 with Santana. Awesome performances by both 🎸🎸 Santana went on last and was very good. The set was fun, enjoyable and festive, everything a closing set should be but what Beck did that night was just brilliant and high-potency! That being said, I’ll never forget the Guitar Shop tour in 1989, the first time I saw Beck, who happened to also have Bozzio and Hymas then. I must have seen Beck at least a dozen times now, those performances never get old
YES!! Lawn seats at the Pavilion : D
What a wonderful sound coming from Jeff Beck. A pity I came in to hear this music too late. I would love to see this and hear it in a story!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Brilliant thanks 😊 😅😊
BEST VERSION OF WHERE WERE YOU!
After seeing Jeff Beck so many times, there were good Jeff Beck nights and there were Jeff Beck was on fire GREAT nights. You were lucky enough to capture one of the latter! Thank you for sharing. Bought me back!
I will never forget this show. JEFF AND I Share the same B-day. Santana moved my soul, they were first. It was a perfect summer night and Jeff was in a great mood and signaled to the Audience " what do u want to hear, the crowd was dumbstruck and silent, so at the top of my lungs I shouted "where were u" he went right into it and played it so beautiful that everyone I could see was wipping tears from their eyes. Best evening ever.
I saw this tour in San Diego when he opened for Santana. After a number of songs, the guy sitting next to me, said "What, no singing?". I just laughed.
He was probably one of the 15 people who gave this a thumbs down! Lol
'Peoples' that need "singing" suck (in my experience). Thats ok. Let 'us' enjoy to 'ourselves'. Go to any Vai tour & you'll know. Finally got to see Jeff Beck live in 2019 & after working for years working live sound desks, I was amazed how Jeff played so off the cuff with real emotion in the moment.
Of course that was Jeff’s gift … he could sing (and scream) with that thing 🎸
Think I saw this tour at The Gorge in Wa. Best guitar sound I've ever heard, ever!! Pino on bass, too.
Grew up with beck.truth album brand new sis played it .1st saw him carnegie hall 72 or so rough n ready n 2nd album out with middleton,cozy etc...n saw him arms concert 83 msg ...b 64 soon saw lot
Guitar Shop was a very rock album. Seemed like a no-brainer for T Bozzio post Missing Persons. Having achieved drummer rockstar status. But JBs fusion had led a lot of us into jazz already.
Saw this tour at Blossom. Cleveland Ohio awesome. Also saw beck/ srv tour public hall. Greatness displayed.
Ever see the orange Jackson Soloist on a Telecaster bass body?
This is an unbelievable performance with Jeff Beck at the top of his game. Thanks for posting this. Is the first tune from the the Steve Lukather sessions that never were released ? That such a cool intro tune
Sad to hear of his passing. My only Jeff Beck show I caught was this tour, in Philadelphia
If you never saw JB live you don't know what he sounded like. His sound could only be witnessed live. No recording could capture his sound.
First of all thank you for uploading this great event. I had the pleasure of attending this event. Although it sounds great, like most great artists seeing them live is a unique experience. This is especially true of great guitarists, as the audio experience, in this case was breathtaking. On this tour Santana and Beck rotated closing duties. As this was the SF Bay Area, after Santana opened half the audience left, I improved my seating and enjoyed an absolutely epic show and virtuoso performance.
Haha. Well, those Santana fans don’t know what they missed. After 50 or so years a fan, I finally saw Beck in 2019, and you’re right, there is no substitute for Jeff’s Marshalls barking at you live. Incredible performer.
RIP You were the best.
Concert fantastique, un des meilleurs de Jeff Beck sur youtube, le son est excellent, les solos sont historiques, merci!!!
I saw Jeff on this tour: 8/23 in Noblesville, IN. Unforgettable evening of masterful guitar work; loved every minute. Thanks so much for the upload; this is golden, top-notch footage.
I wish I had seen this tour, but I had to choose between this and a Jimi Hendrix tribute concert in Seattle with lots of musicians including Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, and John McLaughlin among many others.
Funny thing was, after Santana did his set the majority of the crowd left; leaving me and all the other guitar nuts to enjoy Beck's amazing guitar work. I remember a guy saying: "I don't like this guitar shred stuff; lets go," which was probably the only time in history where Beck has been wrongfully described as "shred." What a buffoon, right?
Beck came out in a foul mood. I'm not sure why. My guess was his tinnitus. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Jeff was one of the first artists to use in ear monitors. Maybe he was adjusting? He hadn't toured in years too.
He looked amazing. Those arms were cut; and that long, thick hair. I remember thinking: "Is this guy getting younger?"
I made eye contact with Jeff and I seemed to brighten his mood a bit. He smiled because I was simply thrilled to see him. I suppose my enthusiasm was very obvious. ;)
The buddy I went with was new to Beck. He summarized JB's performance perfectly: "I did not know a guitar could make so many sounds."
Inside joke: I'll never forget the 8/23 date because 4 years later I married a girl with an 8/23 birthday.
I'm not going to say you made the wrong choice in concert choosing, but wow....that's a tough one.
Sorry for talking your leg off; can't help it, I dearly love Geoffrey Arnold Beck; the only guitarist that brings tears down my cheekbone one minute, and makes me wanna fight the next.
Thanks for sharing. I love Beck too. Became a fan in high school back in the 80s, and had to wait 18 years to see him live. Never can get too many Jeff anecdotes.
Thanks for the chalk-full JB channel you got going. Keep the "anecdotes" a comin'.
Off to see Jeff at the Albert Hall on tge 31st he is a genius on guitar always great live 😊
'Genius' is so overused but in this case I think you're correct.
This is a great concert by the immortal Jeff Beck. Thanks to the people who filmed and uploaded it. However, it's misidentified. The bassist is the equally outstanding Pino Palladino.
wow,wow,wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this tour at what was then called Great Woods in Mass. my friend told me after the show at some point my mouth was just hanging open. We re both guitar
My Brother and Cousin went to this concert! I said "Hot Damn, You saw Bozzio?". All those years ago! RIP Jeff.
I watch all of Jeff Beck’s concerts and this didn’t come up in my feed until today.
No doubt Jeff Beck is a Master Guitar and Leyend. For future guitar s wants to be hero. Need to be understand practice is a answer.
What's interesting with this show is the guitar he is playing is his typical strat but at the time he had the Jeff Beck version that I still think had the lace sensor pickups. Yet this guitar doesn't use those and soon his signature guitar would change to not include lace sensors. Of all the signature guitars Fender has made, the Jeff Beck version never seemed to be the guitar he actually used (lace sensors, or lace sensor humbucker, or LSR roller nut instead of split Wilkinson nut). -P
I was at this show- one of the best JB shows I've ever seen, and I've seen many
What a great gang of musicians on stage and of course jeff one off no one will sound like jeff again master of the whammy bar and volume control thanks jeff for all the years of listening to you rip jeff 🙏
his was just 51 years old. dang!
Loved the guitar tones this time frame. I'd like to say he was at his prime during the Guitar Shop era, but he just kept kicking it into different areas no man has gone before. Lets just day he had a harder edge coupled with physical attitude & mastery of his instrument. Seen him in New Jersey during this tour running into some old buds from 20 years earlier when I used to play his albums while we partied. They were completely speechless after witnessing Jeff'splaying that evening. I wish I could only play as well as he can on his worst day. Long Live JEFF BECK!!!!!
mr. beck at his best - was at the 1980 edinburgh Scotland 'there and back' with simon phillips on drums - and this is the equal concert - thanks for uploading
I travelled through from Glasgow for that show and didn’t get “ There And Back “ as the snow was so bad I stayed at a mates house just outside Glasgow. Went to the Guitar Shop show in Edinburgh-no Pino and Bozzio was WAY too loud so a bit disappointing.
@@daviddalziel884 was that the guitar workshop tour as simon phillips was at the 1980 there and back and he was stunning
@@BurstBelievers the guitar shop was 1990 and There and Back was 1980 .
Saw him on this tour in Philadelphia, at the Mann Music Center. One of the most festive and enjoyable concerts I have ever attended!
TERRIABLE LOSS,JUST FLAT OUT DEPRESSING,LIFE IS CRUEL AND EVIL.RIP JEFF.
Thank you, if you captured this moment. I saw the same band, and he played with SRV at the LA Sports Arena.

(and all the wonderful musicians he has played with)
Great shows i have never seen a show in the big D you don't know what you missed hammer Steve van Santana he blew them all
He was definitely the top, the best, the coolest musician than ever at that moment..All the phrases,touches,rhythms..have been just amazing...! However.,anything came after that disappointed all.
Thank you!
I Agree with you one of the best live videos i ever saw from the styratocaster god and now he is between them forever there and in my heart i cried when i heard it on the radio
👍🇬🇧❤JEFF'S THE BEST 🎸❤GOD ❤BLESS RIP XOXOXOX
Excellent! Saw him in 1989 Bham Alabama. SRV opened.
Wow! JEFF BECK, YOU CERTAINLY WORKED HARD AT YOUR LIVING!!! hOW LONG HAS HE BEEN OUT IN FRONT??? IT LOOKS EXHAUSTING! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Contain one of my favourite songs... Guitar Shop... amazing theme riff... 😉😉😉🙂🙂🙂
Oh baby! Thanks for the upload!
One of the coolest cats there ever was. This band was so f’ing good.
hes not a😼
Wow... what a rare treat! Thank you! My boyfriend is from California and missed this show... Good audio too. Awesome.
An great example of when Jeff was “ on” !
RIP Mr Beck🙏 your music 🎵 will always be ahead of its time
I am in the audience.
On big block he is on fire absolutely destroys it!!!!!!! FUKIN ROCK GOD
When Jeff pulls all the strings off his guitar...he's done for the night!
Don't forget Pino Palladino on bass here! The 1989 tour was just Beck/Bozzio/Hymas but they enlisted Pino for this '95 tour (good call!).
