Beck’s Bolero - Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood - Jeff Beck Tribute - Royal Albert Hall - 22nd May 2023

[@charlesbrown-ik2yu]

Much as I love these folks, it just proves there was NO ONE like Jeff Beck!!

[@jamiejohnson3886]

Yes what 6 of the best & Beck could blow them out of the water Perhaps what they were reminding us of...RIP Jeff

[@joerectifier]

Jeff was one with the guitar - I don't know how else to say my highest level of appreciation

[@paulbfields8284]

Not even a contender..

[@eldorod]

You guys are saying the quiet part out loud. Beck continually got better. He was better the day he died than he was in the 1960's or even 10 years ago. He was a human synthesizer. The one on the stage to watch is Derek Trucks. Trucks is a child prodigy. I saw him play when he was 13 years old. His style and technique is very similar to Beck. IMO

[@jamiejohnson3886]

@@eldorod right always innovative, distinctive & continuing to get better. No one on the stage could compare to Beck. Rip Jeff Derrick Trucks learned from the best. Rip Duane

[@theesbband]

I well remember Jeff Beck playing this at Salisbury City Hall in 1967. Rod Stewart played the rhythm guitar on a Danelectro 12-string sitting cross-legged on the stage: bass by Ronnie Wood and drums by Mickey Waller. People have forgotten just how exquisitely brilliant this band was: Rod was a good guitarist, an excellent harmonica player and an outstanding singer: Ronnie was always the perfect bass player and Mick was probably the finest rock/blues drummer out there. Led Zep were always amazing, but the Jeff Beck Group were there long before. But it’s not about who came first: the late sixties was the most important and extraordinary flowering of irreplaceable musicians. Let’s celebrate those few who are still out there.😁🎸🎸🎸🎷🎷😍🥁😳

[@geosaint1946]

That's amazing Never saw Rod with a guitar

[@theesbband]

@@geosaint1946 I know: it’s not much known. In fact I saw Rod play guitar on a number of occasions including the Marquee in Wardour Street. I’ve seen so many comments that he’s “just a singer” but he wrote countless classic songs, mostly on guitar. How little these armchair critics know of his early life on the road and musical expertise. A real musician in spades! 😁

What happened in 1959 that changed music?fender electric guitars! thank uou!

Derrick Trucks is amazing. R.I.P. Jeff.

[@lazystorage]

Jeff really was an alien. Making all these guitarists who I love so much seem so human and mortal.

[@virginiamiller9765]

God blessed us with this Child from Another World. Lux Aeterna. Beautiful Spirited Soul, Jeffrey Beck.

[@dananthony6258]

Look at Eric just humbly jamming UK nf in the back. Derek Trucks is a legend . I hope he stays with us for a long , long time.

[@deanlaster1724]

Eric stays in his lane a great guitarist in his own right.

[@shubhamlele5395]

Yeah like he coulda play this shit

[@rover4391]

Derek Trucks' vibrato is superb.

[@joerectifier]

I enjoyed this and am thankful these fellas gave it a go for us. Derek gets an A for touch and tone - as we see Jeff Beck was at a level very very very few guitarists - if any - will ever experience. It's much more than speed and flash and ego. It's SPIRIT and TOUCH and conveyence of that spirit into notes....nobody will make that connection like Jeff did

[@robertkelly6282]

Like Eric said Jeff had this ability to pull the sound out of his guitar

[@bkee62]

Derek Trucks shows another side of his multi-faceted abilities. This is a fantastic example of Derek playing something I've never heard him play before and you immediately recognize it and at the same time know it's him. And you got to love him giving a head that it's Eric Clapton's turn to play some riffs! There's not many musicians that what have the mutual respect to be onstage with Eric Clapton and let him know it was his turn to play. WOW

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

"C'mon Eric, stop fuckin' around over there!" lol

[@vicprovost2561]

Same group of guys Eric has had at his Crossroads Festival in the past, those are all worth a look!

Derek Trucks really stepped up to the plate on this tribute 😊

[@Lefty_strat]

Man this was awesome, but I really wish Page could have been up there on stage to play as well. RIP Jeff Beck 🌹

Thank you for your videos, I couldn't get tickets sold out in minutes. Can you imagine being in the same room as all these legends remembering jeff beck which is such a sad loss .

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I wish I was at this. I did see these guitarists separately, at different concerts, and I also saw Jeff Beck twice live and met him. This was great. I wonder why Jimmy Page wasn't here. Cheers! ✌️

[@Jimbowlcoach]

I’m crying at how great this performance was and how our friend will not be forgotten!❤❤❤❤

[@renemagritte8237]

Hi guys, thank you for this tribute, Jeff derves it. However (I'm afraid) it takes much more than talent and hard work to become a virtuoso. Jeff Beck was a monster a genius at the same time.

[@MrIrish415]

Love this (especially Ronnie Wood!), but this tells you all you need to know about Jeff Beck... it took FOUR world renowned guitarists to duplicate what he did!

[@Jimbo199]

Don't be silly, covers never sound as good as the original.

[@daveclarke784]

Jimmy page also played on the original.

[@joealessandro4498]

I don’t think they came close of duplicating JB but I still enjoyed watching them try! Lol

Derek did a great job. He is Mr Slide. I miss Jeff being in the world. Ronnie was a great slide players in The Faces and on solo stuff and with Rod. He was also a MONSTER on bass in the Jeff Beck Group.

I was like 12 years old when I first heard this song. It was like something from outer space.

What a nice tribute, nothing surpasses the original but this was heartfelt and respectful and really got going as they got further into this all time classic. My only question is where is Jimmy Page? RIP Jeff Beck, one of the very best. 🎸

[@johnnyamado5780]

Sadly, my suspicion is that Jimmy Page (the man who made me pick up the guitar) can no longer play.

[@joemadphoto]

@@johnnyamado5780 of course he can play. Maybe he was just out of town or was just enjoying the show

[@geoffpoole483]

This concert was organised at pretty short notice so perhaps he was unavailable. Maybe he was backstage. Given his very long friendship with Jeff Beck it's a pity he wasn't on stage.

true true, although everyone that played at this most fantastic tribute, that needs at very least to be a double vinyl album, sure does know what to do with a guitar but Jeff could make a guitar do things that no one else can do. and continually though his life he kept breaking new ground with the music he created. A true master and inspiration for anyone and everyone who picks up a guitar.

[@susankirkland3852]

I was there on the second night and no one was terrible. Who knows if Trucks had not wanted to play Becks Bolero? Ronnie ‘had a go’ after stating no one can play it like a Jeff Beck. It was a really respectful concert and I would have been mortified if there had been no tribute concert for Jeff. We saw footage of Jeff on the screen behind at times. These guys all dropped their plans and came together in respect for Jeff for two nights on the run. It’s true no one can play like Jeff Beck but the fact that they ‘had a go’ anyway. I thank them ❤

When I saw Jeff Beck and his band play this at the Manor House Pub, Rod Stewart played rhythm.

[@Notes-From-Underground66]

Jimmy Page literally can not play the guitar anymore. I am sure he was back stage or in the audience. He, I am sure, was not going to come out on stage to say a few words because the celebration is about Jeff and not him. He did the eulogy at Jeff’s memorial service. Everyone knows how much Jimmy loved Jeff and vice versa.

[@lennyweinrib9430]

Why can´t he play? Arthritis?

[@danielrose3434]

I think so if I remember correctly.

[@surfgod509]

Why is it ? Jimmy cannot play?

[@dwaynewladyka577]

​@@danielrose3434 I didn't know that Jimmy Page had arthritis. I am aware that Eric Clapton has health issues, including with his hands, or wrists. As people get older, sadly their health will decline.

[@geoffpoole483]

It's very likely he was backstage. Beck and Page had been friends since they were 14 or 15.

[@doubleotwentyone]

Derek Trucks had that nailed.

[@antrygis1]

I have a 45 pic disc on my wall of the original with Jeff Beck. My favorite though is Uli Jon Roth w/the Scorpions at Waacken in 2006. Check it out.

[@tongolele12]

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Its not about who is the best. Music and guitarists shouldnt be compartmentalised, with labels etc. These guys for sure got together and firstly loved Jeff and all of them shared his passion for music and had so much fun over the years playing beautifully for the public. Thats why most play and enjoy a good jam together in some cases for a sing song after a good night in the pub. I was lucky enough to see jeff on his there and back tour at Hammy Odeon in 1981 i think and Prince amongst others. I believe the great guitarists can play any style and improvise without thinking and Jeff was so uniquely talented that way.

[@markkusyrjala7919]

Yeah he was right. Only Jeff could play this!

[@Mizosapp]

Maybe the sound quality on this post is substandard because the calibre of players is 1st class

John Paul Jones played bass on the original. It was recorded before the Truth band was put together, as a solo project, right after The Yardbirds. Jimmy Page played 12 string rhythm and Keith Moon played drums.
