He was amazing. A few women in the audience! He’s a lovely human being and an astonishing musician… was I should say. RIP Jeff Beck.. I can’t come to terms with him no longer being with us. ❤🎶🙏🙏
Correct he was brilliant 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 sad loss rip jeff
Jeff Beck was a divinely inspired electric guitarist.Uncanny technique and a beautiful soul that came through his amp....Praise God for letting us have him all that time.
Never heard a single bad word about him! And his playing to me is above world class! No one like him! Lives on that edge of "outta control" but he controls it!
Brought me to tears, Jeff playing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (18:01 min). I can't come to terms he's gone but I feel he'd want us to laugh and remember the good times and his music ❤️ What a wonderful human being, and a musical genius! My heart goes out to his family, his wonderful wife Sandra, and his dear friend Johnny, and many others ❤❤❤
My heart is broken. I still can’t get over that he’s gone. At the end of May in 2022 I saw him two nights in a row at the Royal Albert Hall. It was the sixth and seventh time that I had seen him. And it still is not enough. There is no such thing as too much Jeff Beck. God rest his soul
Anyone who has ever picked up a guitar needs to see this man live. It will change your life. His version of Danny boy makes me weep it's so beautiful. There is only 1 Jeff Beck.
I've grown to love his personality, as well as the admiration of his skills at communicating feeling. The power of music indeed. Nadia and Serene and several others of his songs really move me - they ARE as beautiful and soulful as "Over the Rainbow." It's not worship of him, but rather a WOW factor for the continuously creative and energetic output. He's unique.
Yes, I completely agree with what you say and feel the same. A lovely human being as well as gifted musician. I love to watch and listen to his music and his interviews. Beck’s was Best concert I’ve ever been to. RIP Jeff ❤
For me, and my big brother, Jeff Beck was there for us our entire lives growing up. He was our number one. Heart broke. 😢 You are so missed. ☮️ forever.
This guy sure knows what's good for him ( and us too ) and he regenerates himself into an immortal legend of guitar wizardry ... long live JB !! An extraordinary musician 😃
Really interesting comment…Just less than 10 minutes in Jeff talks of standing your ground when you release an album because even if people don’t like it now they will in 10 year’s time (nostalgia). I think that is so true, but very hard for musicians to do, especially if critics are negative or albums don’t immediately sell. God bless you Jeff. I hope lots of people listen to your words of wisdom ❤
Business as usual for Jeff - leaving a trail of brain matter wherever he plays. And he does it so humbly and without fanfare. BTW, observe the amps; they're Fender Pro Jr. amps; get one if you don't have one in your arsenal. I was lucky enough to land a Made in USA tweed amp with all original electronics and the Eminence blue AlNiCo speaker (made in Chicago during August, 1994, Serial NO: T-32972, Q.A. Code EH). The controls are very sophisticated: Volume and Tone It's the best kept secret in 15 watt all tube amps and the 10" speaker will put out some serious volume; it takes pedals really well. So if it's good enough for Jeff Beck, it's good enough for me! Thanks for the upload, what a treat!
I had the pleasure of finally seeing one of my all time guitarist when he opened for Stevie Ray Vaughn .Promoting Guitar shop of course he did not disappoint me at all.Stevie. was great and of course , surprise quest on the encore mon other than Carlos Santana...the complete WUW factor.Thank you Jeff Beck for all that you have strived for, just ask Jimmy Page!!!!
Yeah, absolutely. Those Pro Juniors there are Fender's "dumbed-down" version of the Blues Junior...but many find them to be the superior amp. Two-knob, no reverb nor master volume, ten-inch speaker instead of 12. Clearly you can listen here and tell they can sound spectacular.
Brilliant jeff seen him a few times live been buying his albums since the 70.s so much feeling and control what he can get out of a strat great guitarist 👍
I always liked his music but never really got into it until recently, so now I'm looking for every concert video I can find. So grateful there is as much as there is! He really is incredible! He plays so carefully, so intently, and is totally focused on what he and the other musicians are playing. It's amazing how often when he's playing you see joy in his face over what he's hearing, more often than not, from another performer. There are comments admiring him everywhere. The man was truly one of a kind. My heart goes out to his wife, family, and friends.
Always had my little transistor radio on waiting for the next Shapes of Things play. Took my daughter to see Jeff in Kansas City for her 21st birthday, wanted to give Jeff my copy of Santo and Johnny but gave it to a Road manager, I hope Jeff got it. Jeff Beck has given me joy for many years
Love how he drops the Crossroads festival as the place to see the best players, he absolutely steps up his game there as evidenced in the sets he's done w/Beth Hart, EC and DB2.
Maybe the best of his generation? Certainly the most original. I don't really cotton to his techno stuff, but he follows his own star, and he always has. He's the guitarist that made me want to play guitar (circa '66---"Over Under Sideways Down"). Good on ya, Geoff!
Saw Jeff Beck in Chicago in 76. Aerosmith was playing in the same venue. I remember thinking Jeff Beck was on a whole different level than any other band or guitarist
thanks to youtube , we still can view so many great performances from Jeff, one can pretend to one s self that he is still around ! There are so many great electric-guitarists, but has stood in different class on his own , that from me being 16 to this day (66 years old) my favorite ! Thanks Jeff for your classy taste on the electric guitar
I like the way Jeff Beck said the other night during one of his performances he observed a grown man crying. I can Invision a whole family, husband, wife and 4 children flooding out the whole venue in a gushing wave of emotional tears.
Great interview, and ofc amazing performance - Jeff was just such a wonderful human being, the most beautiful in both words and music. He will be missed forever, and always lovingly remembered.✨💖✨
. I revered so many shredders. Until i found blow by blow and Wired. Then where were you..etc etc instrumental gallore. Thumb as a pick and i learned that any decent strat can do fluttering..dive bombs. I cannot believe i havent watched him live. Come to Chile again Beck..praying tonight.
Those 2solo albums broke him away from the pack. His music didn't appeal to most hard rock fans that I knew. Their loss, I'm still trying to play by ear 🎸when I put these on the turntable 45yrs later.
Love the comment when they saw Jimi their curtain dropped ...only for him it was not only raised but elevated to a height that became untouchable .... RIP great one.
I didn't know about this man until a couple of months ago. I'd heard the name, but I mixed him up with Jeff Buckley (who I still don't know about). Seems like such a likeable guy and has some integrity. Both silly and sensible.
He's using both Pro Juniors. At one point Jeff goes over and adjusts the controls on both amps so I assume he's playing out of both - possibly blending their tones.... :)
There is an old saying... Trust not the man with no music in his soul. Along with that saying I say, " Pay no attention to a "critic" that does not recognize talent"
When the Jeff Beck Wired album came out in 1976 I was 14 years old, it changed my life for ever. The beginning of a musical jurney I still can't get enough of. RIP brother...
Turner was a copy artist and turned out to be an artist in his own right!. I shamefully admit, I have not watched so much of your music, but more Eric Clapton. I bought the DVD 2010 C rossroads to listern to Bert Jansch and heard you playing Nessun Dorma, of which Ive watched over and over since. I think you have an amazing touch. Mike Durant
Just to repeat a comment I read a few weeks ago, just after his passing: RIP JEFF BECK. The world's guitar playing just got a whole lot worse. Could not have said it better myself
I fail to understand how Jeff Beck was worried about Hendrix ( not taking anything away )....but come on....😉 What a man and what a legacy he has left us with... Thankyou...
He actually _said_ that he just pulled 2 names out of the air, there are many others. I'd expect him to mention Buddy Guy or Roy Buchanan before Holdsworth
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but it would be nice to hear the questions. Or maybe the problem is at my end: too many years listening to Jeff's music, way too loud...
So it is all about the song. Beck doesn't write that many songs. It doesn't matter how well you play guitar, all that matters is can you write a good song. Beck is a great guitar player but not that great a song writer and this interview highlights that fact.
+Jj Jones - No it aint. Beck is a mind blowing player, who makes every note count. *Way* cool, fun, humble, great attitude, generous performer. It's all about *that*, too. One of my favorite musicians. But just in case you want another mind blowing player, who is also an awesome song writer, check out Richard Thompson. He is *still* writing *and* playing amazing new songs after a career as long as Jeff's.
Is Jeff Beck some kind of rock and roll joke? - that I just, don't get. I suppose he has had no hits or been in any great bands, then, the punters don't get him either. watch in awe the first 3 minutes and the last 3 minutes, without doubt the shittest guitarist ever to be put on the guitar legend stage. Can somebody please tell me what the fuck this guy has done for music to be held at such high esteem?
Oh, he's had hits - probably most before you were born - and he's been in a number of great bands, the first of which would be the Yardbirds and the rest were ones he led. Basically, the Yardbirds were the pipeline that Beck, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton came through. Of those three, Beck has been the brashest and furthest-ranging, and even if you go back to the 1968 track "Love is Blue" - an easy-listening classic! - you hear this weirdness and just plain snottiness that no other guitarist of the time would have dreamed of, and he'd been plenty scary for several years already by then. Check out "Freeway Jam" from 1977's JEFF BECK WITH THE JAN HAMMER GROUP LIVE and have him tear your head off with his first phrase. I will never come close to Jeff Beck's ability but if I can incorporate even a little bit of what goes on in his mind into what I can get a guitar to do, I'll be happy.
wow bro.. they guy can strike a cord. live at ronnie scotts and emotion and commotion is good. he's a perfectionest who has played with everyone and stood the test of time.. hey i hated him with yan hammer in the 80's. certain songs just sound great. i just seen him in vegas aug 16th 2014 and wasn't thrilled but the same songs in a different enviriorment just pop and are off the chart. for me he's the best at my age. but even at 16 i loved blue wind in the early 80's big gap but i guess that's what makes it? time..
Honestly if I had just started listening to Jeff Beck without hearing any of his older stuff I would not think he was all that great. I, however, have a Father who is a guitarist and I grew up listening to Jeff Beck even though he was way before my time in the 60's and 60's...I also got to see him live 2 times and trust me when this guy is on he is freaking amazing talk about the most beautiful solo's that rip right inside of you. My favorite albums of his are "Who Else" and the album that came out shortly afterwards in 2003. I have not cared for anything newer he has put out since. Trust me this guy is amazing and l will go as far as saying he probably is the best Guitarist of all time. He plays his best it seems in small venues like "the House of Blues" joints be is a very shy person.
+Xwhite2020 check out a song Jeff Beck did called "Seasons" off of his 2002 album (forgot the name off the album). He plays 2 long solos in this song that are the most beautiful guitar solos I have ever heard. If you still do not realize how amazing this freak of nature is just by listening to that one song well...I do not what to say. :)

He’s absolutely amazing! He controls what can’t be controlled! His voicing on guitar was is and probably will always be like no other!🎵🎶🎸🙏🏻😎

I found a channel called (Car Crazy Central) There's a 2 part interview of Jeff talking about the cars he built. It's really cool!
RIP Jeff 🙏❤️🎸🎶🎶🎶

Jeff is my favourite player ever. The guy just controls the instrument like no other. He’s just a brilliant expressive player.
No wasted note Lots of breathing between phrases. Clever adventurous dangerous yet tasty like no other. Jeff Beck plain and simple. Movie stuff 🎶🙌
this guy is the real deal man. great great great. some of the best music ever made came from this man
Anyone who has ever picked up a guitar needs to see this man live. It will change your life. His version of Danny boy makes me weep it's so beautiful. There is only 1 Jeff Beck.
Jeff Beck is a very humble and gifted musician. He also helps out with beneficial causes too.
One cool, down to earth guy!Sorely missed, thankfully we still have all his music to listen to, the best ever
I've grown to love his personality, as well as the admiration of his skills at communicating feeling. The power of music indeed.
Nadia and Serene and several others of his songs really move me - they ARE as beautiful and soulful as "Over the Rainbow."
It's not worship of him, but rather a WOW factor for the continuously creative and energetic output. He's unique.
I'm the same way, man. Just his attitude and how he puts himself into the music.
Yes, I completely agree with what you say and feel the same. A lovely human being as well as gifted musician. I love to watch and listen to his music and his interviews. Beck’s was Best concert I’ve ever been to. RIP Jeff ❤
Yes, it’s how I feel too.

Truly an admirable human being and great artist

An enormous talent BUT so humble. Best and most unique player on the planet.

Similarly the case of Steve Vai and Steve Morse I think
Kathmandoo for sure 👍

Other guitar players may be more influential to me, but Jeff Beck is my FAVORITE guitar player. Period.
I love you Jeff Beck! You are nothing less then amazing!!! You are the most important musician in our life time! Thank you!!!
What a lovely interview. Makes his loss even harder to comprehend. Loved the live gig clip at the end. 🙏❤️🎸
He’s such a humble guy...I’m really impressed.
I've loved Jeff since Blo by Blow and hearing him evolve to what he's become
And "Wired"..

I’ve been told also that he is the nicest and most gentle man many people have ever met.
Jeff can make any amplifier sound great it's all in his hands
Yeah, absolutely. Those Pro Juniors there are Fender's "dumbed-down" version of the Blues Junior...but many find them to be the superior amp. Two-knob, no reverb nor master volume, ten-inch speaker instead of 12. Clearly you can listen here and tell they can sound spectacular.
@hubbsllc I have a Frend Pro Jr, and absolutely love it. Killers amps, and their simplicity only makes them better.

Jeff Beck plays Jeff Buckley
Actually, Buckley based his version on Benjamin Britten's, & JB based his in turn on Buckley's.
Terry Bozzio on the skins?
He's using Fender which one?
Luis Hernandez pro jr
They spent ten minutes talking about this great record and never once mentioned the name of the record. Pretty poor interview if you ask me.
And you? would you care to enlighten us?
Emotion & Commotion - that's the record they're talking about. He mentions "Over the rainbow" and that's on this album.

Thanx for naming. I was wondering myself...
I fail to understand how Jeff Beck was worried about Hendrix ( not taking anything away )....but come on....😉

Thankyou...
Hendrix was in the stratosphere, blowing them all away but a meteor..then plunging to earth. Beck ran w it.
Surprises he doesn't mention Allan Holdsworth as a great
He actually _said_ that he just pulled 2 names out of the air, there are many others. I'd expect him to mention Buddy Guy or Roy Buchanan before Holdsworth

I hate him he makes me miserable about my own ability -.-
Just practise practise practise...........Cynthia McLaglen
You can practice for a million years and if you’re lucky end up being 25% as good as Jeff Beck.
So it is all about the song. Beck doesn't write that many songs. It doesn't matter how well you play guitar, all that matters is can you write a good song. Beck is a great guitar player but not that great a song writer and this interview highlights that fact.
Simply not true. You would condemn Paganism, Lizt, Chopin and all the me
I don't condemn anyone or anything. Beck is not known as a song writer period. He's a guitar player.
Jj Jones And?Elvis wrote one song in his hole life but he was still the greatest!
Well yees but "So What"?
+Jj Jones - No it aint. Beck is a mind blowing player, who makes every note count. *Way* cool, fun, humble, great attitude, generous performer. It's all about *that*, too. One of my favorite musicians. But just in case you want another mind blowing player, who is also an awesome song writer, check out Richard Thompson.
