It's not just that Jeff was probably the best guitarist in rock history. It's that he also made it look so easy and effortless. He could do so many things that left the greatest of the other guitarists in awe.
The guy that you were wondering about near the end is Steve Perry from Journey. There were many luminaries from all parts of the Music Industry in attendance the week that Jeff and his band played Ronnie Scott’s.
The greatest electric guitarist of all time in just about every regard. My all time favorite since I heard him on the first Ysrdbidlrds album when I was 15 years old back in the 60s.
She's from Australia, he's from Britian. What a great performance. R.I.P. to the great Jeff Beck. Yep, that's Robert Plant in the audience. Please do "Because We've Ended as Lovers" and "Bolero." Thanks for doing this!
Beck could play like Clapton and Page if he wanted to, but I really doubt they could play like him. Seeing him live, he could get the same exact squeak every time. Incredible. Cheers, --bd
Charles Mingus wrote it as an elegy for saxophonist Lester Young, who had died two months prior to the recording session and who was known for wearing unusually broad-brimmed pork pie hats.
The brilliant thing about this Ronnie Scott’s gig, apart for it being recorded for posterity, is that he had such a brilliantly tight band. He was in need of a bass player after his previous choice became unavailable, when Vinnie Colaiuta: drums, heard Tal Wilkenfeld after overhearing her at a studio, played gigs with her and introduced her to Jeff Beck. After being initially sceptical Beck was won over after they ran through some of his set together. The immediate tightness of the Colaiuta/Wilkenfeld rhythm section was as if they had been playing together for years, right from the start. Perhaps it is even more remarkable to note Jason Rebello’s keyboard playing. Beck’s previous keyboard guy, Jan Hammer, did not want to tour anymore, partly due to post-9/11 anxieties for Americans travelling abroad. Beck asked Rebello, who was a piano player to step in and within a week of rehearsals he was bending notes on the synthesiser, sounding like he was an old hand. In interviews at the time Beck talked about his need to psych himself up prior to a gig and prepare for the complexity of what they were about to play, noting that it is not the kind of music that you can just pick up your instruments and play at the drop of a hat. Not only that but this was an extremely rare small venue performance, where the audience is so close you can see the white of their eyes. Normally he said the audience is separated by barriers and he could almost pretend they were not there until he got into his groove and relaxed a bit. This was recorded during a five night residency at Ronnie Scott’s Club in Soho London. It is available on CD/download and DVD. Songs from the DVD are also on RUclips
Yes, that's definitely Robert Plant. Also, at the 4:33 mark - the one that you mention they showed three times - that's former Journey frontman Steve Perry.
It's the expressive musicality he sings through his guitar like all the jazz greats that make him so hard to copy. He's too specific. You'd have to be him to do it. R.I.P the only one not like the rest.
Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, Vaughan... all great. But copy-able. The three greatest are NOT copy-able: Jeff Healey, Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler. Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.

The Greatest Guitar player of all times.
R.I.P Jeff
Yes he was

Beck always owned his own space in the guitar world. A whole life devoted to purely his own tastes. Atmospheric gorgeous RIP Jeff Beck 💐☮️

Both Roberrt Plant and Jimmhy Page was in the audience when they recorded this, Live at Ronnie Scott´s. Stratus is another great song they did.

Written by jazz bass icon Charles Mingus as an eulogy for jazz sax legend Lester Young aka “Prez” whose trademark was his “Pork Pie Hat”.

Frank Zappa Alum Vinnie Colaiuta on drums....my favorite version of Jeff Beck's later bands
This song is about the legendary sax player Lester “Prez” Young. Who often wore his pork pie hat.
When i hear Jeff Beck-he let me no missing other guitarists...
R.I.P. Jeff👑🎸
🌹😔
So glad you pulled back to that face, because I thought the same thing, “That’s Robert Plant”!!

King of the Strat!!! He is usually rank in top 5th during his career which spanned over 50 years what a career it will never be equal !!! 🇨🇦🎼🎸
nobody even tries to play like Jeff beck ! cause they know they can't
That IS Plant. Jimmy Page was also in the audience for that show, too. Check out the whole show sometime (Live at Ronnie Scott's).
I got to see Jeff Beck in concert in 2018. He is a true guitar god.
The Jeff Beck Group in 1969 phenomenal album “Truth” features a young Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Woods (The Rolling Stones guitarist ) on bass.
He’s amazing ❤
Thanks for your show
Yes, that's definitely Robert Plant. Also, at the 4:33 mark - the one that you mention they showed three times - that's former Journey frontman Steve Perry.
Damn that is Perry! I've watched this show 50 times and that never occurred to me!
She joined Jeff Beck for the crossroads concert in 2007 this is two years later in 2009

He's too specific. You'd have to be him to do it. R.I.P the only one not like the rest.
He could sustain a harmonic note into a mini solo run..
Yes that was indeed Robert Plant.
No the guy at the end is definitely not Steve Perry from journey! LOL
Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, Vaughan... all great. But copy-able. The three greatest are NOT copy-able: Jeff Healey, Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler. Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
Good reaction! Subscribing 👍
React to Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs. Another great guitarist
Charles Mingus
If this is at Ronnie Scott's. Jimmy Page was also at the concert.
Yes - that was absolutely Robert Plant.
yes, thats Robert Plant at 3:50
