Thanks for mentioning that, as it merits acknowledgement. Saw Beck 4 times. After Jimi, Jeff's the most innovative of the Woodstock generation of guitar players, imho.

The opening and closing of this song always reminded me of whales singing. I miss Jeff Beck so much! Joe and John performed a beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing it
He is that and more.. I saw him play with Miles Davis at The Hollywood Bowl some yrs back.. Brilliance.. Happy 80th Birthday out to Joni Mitchell also❤🎉
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck 15 times, including his last tour last year with Johnny Depp. He was my all time favorite guitarist as well as musician. I am still in disbelief he has died, it hurts me as much as when my Mom died. I saw the 2 Crossroads concerts in Bridgeview, Illinois 2007 & 2010. I checked out the lineup this year & not having Jeff Beck for the first time did not enthuse me to want to go to the 2 day event. Seeing this performance was nice. John McLaughlin was one of Jeff Beck 's favorite guitarists. #RIPJeffBeck #GOATGuitarist #ICON
GIRLFRIEND DRUG ME TO SEE HIM 40 YEARS AGO OR SO IN DALLAS -- DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR MUCH OF THE MUSIC -- BUT THERE WAS NO DOUBT HE WAS A COMPLETE MASTER OF HIS INSTRUMENT
Saw them at their peak and it was overwhelming -- thunderous, immersive waves of beautiful sound -- and a true ensemble. Nothing like it. McLaughlin really reaches deep.
It doesn't work that way.. Alot of the old timers had their spotlight years ago.. they have nothing to prove, so let the younger guys take over and enjoy the show. Humility is admired,,, or turn into yngwie, be a prick and play over everyone like he did playing with
I saw Jeff and the Mahavishnu Orchestra on the same show back in 1975! It was at Hofstra University on Long Island. I still have the ticket stub and the price was $6.50!!
Una gran versión del arreglo de jeff Beck de este tema, pero dejando de lado el excesivo lucimiento de Joe en la interpretación, en el corto solo de john vive el el toque de jeff. Cuando menos es más
What a wonderfully moving tribute to Jeff Beck. Beautifully played between them and heart felt with Jeff so obviously in their hearts when they did it. Thank you so much for doing this. We miss Jeff so much ❤🙏🙏🙏🎶
Yes, Tal is amazing (at 20 yrs old). I have the blu-ray. Both video and audio quality are exceptional! My HD600s were made for it!@@charlieknowlton7003
Me too, that whole set at Ronnie Scott's was soo good. I also much preferred Tal on bass then the other girls he's had. Her touch and style just seemed to fit Jeff's playing perfectly
Amazing performance! I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff perform live once in 1999. It was a special day for me! Thanks to both of you for keeping his music alive.
I saw him play at a medium sized venue in 2009 with Chick Corea and the " Five Peace Band" .. just after they finished their last tune, this very large, amazing bass player by the name of Christian Mcbride ran over, picked up JM and carried him around on stage showing him off to the audience like he was some kind of deity.... seemed like he just couldn't help himself... Everyone on the room's minds were blown by Mcglaughlin including the band.
Hear, hear! I also got hooked on “Extrapolation” when it came out _(before or after another similarly enticing album - “Devotion”),_ and it even went way further than that: • I got inhabited for a long time by *“Binky’s bean”,* in particular, because of its ‘weird’ metric, that I couldn’t figure out… It took me _- I’m not kidding -_ 25 years of playing it in my head and on the guitar to finally establish what it was, and you can imagine what a great release it was! :)) -- /!\ Spoiler ;-) -- The answer which came to me after all this time _(as I was sitting on “the throne”, one day, with one of my acoustics!)_ was that it was compounded metrics, with a composed cycling cell of 3 bars, 3/4 + 3/4 + 7/8 ! :) _(1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1234567)_ That’s what McLo can do to you as a musician, and I’m delighted to find out that only last week, he _(and the excellent Joe Bonnamassa, not an innovator as JMcL but a top quality synthesizer of blues, rock’n’roll and jazz)_ was still in top shape on stage!
@@LeeOLumbrosothanks for that very informative comment. Great reading. I tell you as f-d up as my life has become I still thank God everyday for giving us music.
Blues is the only genre where humility is the only prerequisite for entry. I have always been accepted both as a player & fan regardless of colour, religion, education or background. Everyday I thank the folk who created for me, the most pure art there is. Lastly, without the likes of Joe Bonamassa, much of the newcomers to the genre would not know the importance of its history and that virtually all popular music has a blues hook. Stay well folks and be kind to yourselves.
I was so privileged to see tye Mahavishnu Orchestra in Adelaide around 1975. Jean Luc Ponty on violin and the album was Visions of the Emerald Beyond. It was amazing, it was spiritual and musical.
Yes saw the show in Perth and absolutely fantastic !So much power and grace and Luc Ponty bouncing off of McLaughlin was incredible.Great memories and you don't see anything like this anymore.Consider myself lucky for sure !!
When I was 16, I remember getting hold of the Shakti 'Natural Elements' LP and literally ran home to listen to it. Still vividly remember how I was blown to bits by the virtuosity of John McLaughlin. Still have the LP. And here we are today, the man himself at 81, paying tribute to another legend. Rest in peace Jeff Beck. We miss you..
Mine was Jon Mcglaughlin Electric guitarist. I was 16 and into vai and van halen etc but also Al Di Meola. I had no idea what to make of it but it held me captive until I appreciated it. I got into Mahavishnu and Shakti later. John is a bona fide Genius and has influenced a lot of my favourite players especially Beck RIP. LUv and Peace.
Joe's volume is louder than John's because if it was "equal" McLaughlin would have destroyed him! There is absolutely NO comparison between Bonermaster and McLaughlin... John's technical ability is way, way above Joe's... Joe did everything he could to minimize be humiliated...
@@sinsagoodmansbrother I'm sure Joe would agree that John's technique is way above his - but this was a track that suits Joe's style. I do think John was too low in the mix, but but I don't think his playing would have 'destroyed' Joe's. Joe worked more on tone and texture, while John had more creative melodic ideas - I thought they mixed quite well. Now, if they played a jazz or fusion piece, then Joe would have been shown up.
I just a few weeks ago saw John for the first time . We forget he's 81 years old and still complains so beautifully and present- at Shakti he sat for 2 hours crossed legged as well . I also saw one of the final three shows of Beck with Johnny Depp, and all the haters out there Depp was really really good as well . I was surprised. Music is always love - plain and simple :)
It was given to Jeff Beck by Stevie Wonder, He wanted to give him Superstition but Wonders record company urged Stevie not to give Superstition. So it is not that amazing. It's a guitar piece.
This song has done something to my soul since I first put on headphones and listened to Blow by Blow almost 50 years ago. An unmitigated masterpiece. Well done gents.
Sharing a stage with Johnny McLaughlin has to be a near-dreaming experience. Just a handful of influences have settled so deep in my consciousness. He performs magic with his guitar.
Finally had the pleasure of seeing Jeff a few months before he died. It was such a fabulous show. I've followed Joe B for years and have heard him say many times how much respect he's had for Jeff. I was at this show in L.A., and it was obvious to me how honored Joe to play a Jeff Beck tribute with John McLaughlin. They all played their hearts out.
Great to see two amazing legends, John McLaughlin & Joe Bonamassa pay tribute to the late Jeff Beck. They both laid it down during their solos. Nevertheless, Joe Bonamassa hit his solo out of the musical sphere. It was so well articulated with such raw emotion. Sure Mr. Beck was smiling from the musical cosmos above. 💯🎸🎸
@@ronlee2611, who really cares at the end of our days on earth. It's basically a live performance tribute to a legend. Many are jealous of Joe's ability, since age of twelve. If you can do better, give John a call.
@@musicalSFCatso if one can't play one can't dislike? I only see one legend on that stage. And it's not Joe. That's my pow , but sure I don't play 🎸 so maybe I'm not allowed to think like that.
@@doc257 , what a bizarre reply. Who gives a hell, if you play an instrument or not. You feel maybe you're not allowed to think like that. Well maybe you should simply either make up your damn mind, shut your lips, refrain from making any comment. LOL. Many who know Joe's legacy, don't care what you think or feel. He's paid his dues well before adulthood in the music industry. Jamming with legendary guitarists/blues legends, early in his professional career, since young age of twelve. Speculate from your comment, have no clue about his professional musical career past thirty four years. G.L., dude.
@@musicalSFCat don't care about his "career". I' m only into legends. You know: EC, Buddy Guy, BB King, Page, Hendrix, SRV, Raitt, Jeff Beck, Sister RT, Robert J, Lightnin', Big Bill, Muddy, Freddy King, Albert King. Albert Collins and so on. Never said he can't play, just not my taste.
Joe B had prepared a pitch perfect homage to Jeff B, then John M intervened with his contemporary (with Jeff) approach where jamming with Jeff up there was one more time possible. Thank you both, also hat's off for the band, especially keybs.
I respect ANY musicians that will even attempt the great Jeff Beck live! It's amazing to think a Stevie Wonder song could be elevated but Beck was THAT phenomenal. Gary Clark can absolutely blister this song as well.
Way back in 69 I was at Fort Homer Hesterly in Tampa to see Pink Floyd do their album Meddles and the opening act was John McClaughlan and the Maha Visnu Orchestra imagine my surprise to see all the greats in that band play for the opening act, I was blown away!! And then David Gilmore playing one of my favorite albums at that time!! It is a concert I will never forget!!
Nice rendition of Jeff Beck's Cause We Ended as Lovers. John McLaughlin and Joe Bonamassa did a great job. I have to give Joe props, since he always pays respect to the greats. He himself is a very talented guitarist. I have not had the pleasure to see Joe live but it is in my to do list. Sadly I wanted to see Jeff Beck live but he passed away before I had a chance. At the moment I live in a place that is in the middle of no where, thus seeing these great artists is not easy.
I was fortunate to see Jeff many times! Living in NY made it easy as he played there many times. Also say JM with Mahavishnu and it was superb. Last time I saw Jeff was at the Palm in Vegas, it was the Johnny Depo tour. Jeff was in fire as always, but I didn’t think much of Johnny Depp’s voice. The audience loved him of course.
Spectacular performance by both John & Joe, it was beautiful. I'm still listening, approx. my 7th straight time. I'm surprised & and I don't understand why there are so many Joe Bonamassa haters, but everyone is allowed their own opinion. Myself, I love listening to Joe Bonamassa. I'm not a musician so I don't know about all the technical stuff people were referring to , I just know what sounds good to my ears and what makes me feel good and both of these guys do the job for me for sure.
JUst Wonderful! So, I listen to Joe, and I hear a supremely gifted player who has had most of his life to master Jeff's nuances. I listened to John, and heard a peer of Jeff Beck playing an homage in a style and with phrasing instantly recognizable as John McGlaughlin.That is what separates a gifted player and performer and a generational master who has carved new boundaries for his instrument. No doubt in my mind Je would agree.
Funny, I built Billy Cobham's Fibes drums mid-70's. Delivered them to the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the Nassau Coliseum, NY. I remember John and Jan jamming post gig in the dressing room. Looked like they somehow shared a Fender Champ amp.
I saw Cobham playing his Spectrum this year in Berlin on his 80th birthday. One of the best concerts in years. Class act.Great drummer still - Also saw McLaughlin in Hamburg this year and again next month in Berlin. Top class.
Salute the inimitable Jeff Beck. I love when John walks away when the screaming sound of Joe's guitar gets more and more brash. For those who would like to hear this track listen to Jeff on John's album 'The Promise'. Mesmerising interplay of guitars speaking to each other. Lyrical genii.
Bonamassa has learned the trick (and uses it for all it is worth). McLaughlin has his own style, but humble as he is, laying low and do not overplay. Classy John!
John McLaughlin, 81 years old, and still so full of power and energy, absolutely incredible!!
Thanks for mentioning that, as it merits acknowledgement. Saw Beck 4 times. After Jimi, Jeff's the most innovative of the Woodstock generation of guitar players, imho.
And he still cannot play gently or sparsely.

Indeed. The same. My #3 (after 2 x Jimi).
My favorite LP also.
Those first few MO albums were completely radical and brilliant and remain so to this day
Saw that tour in Seattle, he opened with, 'Miles Beyond' ... this song always tears my up.
Saw them at their peak and it was overwhelming -- thunderous, immersive waves of beautiful sound -- and a true ensemble. Nothing like it. McLaughlin really reaches deep.
I saw John Mc.. with Miles Davis back in the Day @Hollywood Bowl !! Brilliant..
Phenominal playing by JB, but if you're going to invite John McLaughlin on stage, wouldn't you let him take the long solo?
Yeah, that was a pretty crappy move. Still trying to prove something to anyone who will listen.

Hard to believe that Jeff Beck isn't with us; he left quickly, great to hear his guitar friends John and Joe playing a tribute to Jeff's songs 🎉👏🙏

Thanks for featuring this video.
John McLaughlin remains my favourite guitarist for over fifty years.
Also Kudos to Joe Bonamassa one of the greats.
A great tribute to Jeff. Jeff's "Live at Ronnie Scott's" version is my favorite.
Mine too. Nobody plays Jeff's music better than Jeff did. And then with this one, the bass solo by Tal at Ronnie Scott's was exquisite!
And mine.
Yes, Tal is amazing (at 20 yrs old). I have the blu-ray. Both video and audio quality are exceptional! My HD600s were made for it!@@charlieknowlton7003
His combos with Imogene and Joss there are timeless. Heap is the most "undersung" singer in history.

Love that Joe has so much knowledge and respect for other guitarists.
Chills ran up and down my spine from the first note until the end. I pray to see John McLaughlin LIVE just once.❤❤❤
saw him with Remember Shakti. Best concert I'd ever seen where everyone on stage is sitting down. One of the best concerts I've ever seen period.
I saw him play at a medium sized venue in 2009 with Chick Corea and the " Five Peace Band" .. just after they finished their last tune, this very large, amazing bass player by the name of Christian Mcbride ran over, picked up JM and carried him around on stage showing him off to the audience like he was some kind of deity.... seemed like he just couldn't help himself...

Wow that was excellent Joe.............Keeping The Blues Alive
Thanks for sharing. McLaughlin is a living legend !
Extrapolation is one of the best jazz albums ever! Excellent guitar work and ensemble performances. And JM’ s work with Trilok is the stuff.
Great record !
Hear, hear! I also got hooked on “Extrapolation” when it came out _(before or after another similarly enticing album - “Devotion”),_ and it even went way further than that:
• I got inhabited for a long time by *“Binky’s bean”,* in particular, because of its ‘weird’ metric, that I couldn’t figure out… It took me _- I’m not kidding -_ 25 years of playing it in my head and on the guitar to finally establish what it was, and you can imagine what a great release it was! :))
-- /!\ Spoiler ;-) --
The answer which came to me after all this time _(as I was sitting on “the throne”, one day, with one of my acoustics!)_ was that it was compounded metrics, with a composed cycling cell of 3 bars, 3/4 + 3/4 + 7/8 ! :) _(1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1234567)_
That’s what McLo can do to you as a musician, and I’m delighted to find out that only last week, he _(and the excellent Joe Bonnamassa, not an innovator as JMcL but a top quality synthesizer of blues, rock’n’roll and jazz)_ was still in top shape on stage!

Yes, Josh is to be mentioned! He's at least as good as any other guitarist at the festival!
John is so humble here. He could easily be some arrogant jazz snob but he transcends that. Maybe the greatest guitar player.
The giants of 1960s guitar still leaving such a huge footprint on the scene and the audience.
they set the standards , the high water marks . speed is over rated , and has killed .
The most beautiful song on electric guitar , thank you Mr. Beck , for your virtuosity

John Mclaughlan was the only guitarist to inspire me to stop learning the guitar.

A great performance is timeless. And one you don't want to end. This is six and a half minutes that went by in the blink of an eye.
It’s amazing that a sensitive ballad written by Stevie Wonder has remained such a staple for guitarists.
Time for a young talent to take up some other stunning SW ballads like All Is Fair In Love, and You And I
It was given to Jeff Beck by Stevie Wonder, He wanted to give him Superstition but Wonders record company urged Stevie not to give Superstition. So it is not that amazing. It's a guitar piece.
It first was a vocal piece though, from Syretta Wright’s 1974 album.
Love this! Saw JM back in the early 80's and this really brings back some great memories.

Last time I saw Jeff was at the Palm in Vegas, it was the Johnny Depo tour. Jeff was in fire as always, but I didn’t think much of Johnny Depp’s voice. The audience loved him of course.
Spectacular performance by both John & Joe, it was beautiful. I'm still listening, approx. my 7th straight time. I'm surprised & and I don't understand why there are so many Joe Bonamassa haters, but everyone is allowed their own opinion. Myself, I love listening to Joe Bonamassa. I'm not a musician so I don't know about all the technical stuff people were referring to , I just know what sounds good to my ears and what makes me feel good and both of these guys do the job for me for sure.
He's been a huge influence on my playing and life since 1972. Wow, I hope I age well!
Some really fine playing. One of my new favorites. It had so much feel.
Unbelievable, just brilliant .❤❤❤❤
JUst Wonderful! So, I listen to Joe, and I hear a supremely gifted player who has had most of his life to master Jeff's nuances. I listened to John, and heard a peer of Jeff Beck playing an homage in a style and with phrasing instantly recognizable as John McGlaughlin.That is what separates a gifted player and performer and a generational master who has carved new boundaries for his instrument. No doubt in my mind Je would agree.
Joe is really kicking ass!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
Bonamassa's tone is just soooooooooooo good!
how do u think it compares to Beck or Clapton ?
Amazing music ..gereat guitarists .Incredible ...👌👍👍🙏👏
Exquisite! 💜💜💜
OMG goosebumps overdrive!
Funny, I built Billy Cobham's Fibes drums mid-70's. Delivered them to the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the Nassau Coliseum, NY. I remember John and Jan jamming post gig in the dressing room. Looked like they somehow shared a Fender Champ amp.
I saw Cobham playing his Spectrum this year in Berlin on his 80th birthday. One of the best concerts in years. Class act.Great drummer still - Also saw McLaughlin in Hamburg this year and again next month in Berlin.
Top class.
Wouldn't that be early 70's ?
As close as well get. 😢 Thanks guys.
Saw Jeff Beck 3 times. Never let a chance to see the best go by. Only here for a blink of the eye.
Joe B gets such huge tone i really love his playing
Just beautiful
One of the best I have seen from JB - It is clear that JM respected him enough to let him have this.
Thank you sooo much JOE❤ Sounds awesome my Love🥰💕🙋🏻♀️
MORE PLEASE! Kinda a tease. JM really didn’t show himself and what a perfect song for him to shine.
I think he has nothing left to prove.
Salute the inimitable Jeff Beck. I love when John walks away when the screaming sound of Joe's guitar gets more and more brash. For those who would like to hear this track listen to Jeff on John's album 'The Promise'. Mesmerising interplay of guitars speaking to each other. Lyrical genii.
Brilliant. So good.
Amazing! Incredible!!!! 👍👏👏👏
Jeff always said John M was the master….rich praise indeed….Gods speed Jeff.😢
Joe just went unworldly, in my humble opinion, Im 68 and started playing when i was 12
Phenomenal drummer!
Best tone, Joe.
Great guitarist...John M😊
Uplifting ❤
@frenchamerican thank you for posting!❤
This was fire. John going first and Joe finishing strong!
3:17 "oh, so we're playing at THAT volume. One sec..."
ethereal, beautiful head music. hypnotic👍🍷
Wow, that was good!
Very good!
Bonamassa has learned the trick (and uses it for all it is worth). McLaughlin has his own style, but humble as he is, laying low and do not overplay. Classy John!
Never forget the night I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra....back in 1971
You saw the greatest band ever
