Country Guitarist Reacts to Jeff Beck (Epic)

[@d23bw]

what's great about Jeff Beck is it's never the "me show". He's constantly showing respect to the other members of the band. What a cool dude with supernatural skills.

[@dannymoore6886]

Like Eric Clapton said, There's blokes like me who play guitar and then there's Jeff. R.I.P. Jeff Beck! I've been with you since the beginning and just because you've passed doesn't mean we'll stop listening.

[@eidetecker]

This performance is from early 1999. I recommend anything from his show at Ronny Scotts' club in London; it's stellar.

[@ChasingAnthems]

I kinda figured as it went on it was later. Thanks!

[@AuxesisHyperbole666]

@@ChasingAnthems I second the Ronnie Scotts gig - stellar band and star spangled audience. Also Brush with the Blues on Later with Jools Holland.

[@beatmet2355]

@@ChasingAnthems I third the Ronnie Scott’s show. It’s brilliant.

[@franklinden3497]

Ronnie Scotts club performances are my Go to for showing others A seasoned pro at the very Top of his game. Watch those vids with Led Zeppelin in the clubroom , drinking up his Renoun Masterfullnness!!

[@andyj845]

Yes, Live at Ronnie Scott's is my favorite live show on KZbin. Jeff and the band were all on fire.

[@keithwatkins7908]

Jeff Beck was a guitar god over several genres, pop, rock, blues, jazz, fusion etc. for several decades. Thank you for the upload, and great reaction. RIP Jeff, you will be greatly missed, thank you for your contribution to music.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Amazing thing was Jeff was able to channel his tone and everything through his fingers and thumb no pic at all.

[@greggary7217]

Great reaction - room to breathe is exactly right & the number of people Beck worked with, helped, spotlighted in his life is as huge as he was. The man was a genius but more importantly he was humble & from all accounts a great human being. Rest In Peace.

[@scottzappa9314]

Have to like him even more knowing that.

[@Roddy1965]

I recall Jeff saying he was a 'guitar experimentalist' and I think that sums up his style and approach quite a lot. Totally original. RIP to the great man.

[@joeking6763]

You have to watch Jeff's hands! He can control volume, whammy and pick at the same time. He bends the neck as well. No one can duplicate Jeff Beck!

[@ChasingAnthems]

100%

[@gregmag66]

I don’t think he’d used a pick in 30+ years

[@ChasingAnthems]

@@gregmag66 I rarely when playing the acoustic but always with the electric.

[@micko11154]

Jeff stopped using a pick a long time ago, it was all fingers and thumbs. Cheers!

[@m.ericwatson968]

For the superb lead player he is he was an ensemble player, he wanted to showcase the whole band and not just have them as backup session players, makes his songs so rich and enjoyable, and he loved playing guitar live, always having a great time

[@reallymysterious4520]

The other 3 were all amazing in their own right as well

[@scottzappa9314]

@@reallymysterious4520 Yeah I mean I was blown away by the other guitarist and bass player too. The whole band is elite.

[@reallymysterious4520]

@@scottzappa9314 I wanted that mini bass solo to go on for a few minutes. And yes that other guitarist blew me away as well

[@BeCoShooter]

Instantly recognizable sound.

[@ancil57]

That's Four Star Michelin cookin' on that stage.

[@astroteech]

Jeff Beck was unequaled, so says Jimmy Page ("leaving us mere mortals") and many others. I was so lucky to have grown up listening to the Yardbirds as a kid right through picking up playing bass during the mid-70"s and "Blow by Blow" and "Wired" and beyond. "Live at Ronnie Scotts" says it all about this rock modern Mozart.

[@VegasAlien1]

I saw Jeff with Jennifer in Las Vegas back in 2001 on the You Had It Coming tour. Phenomenal show.

[@CarmenCastro-ce2qk]

RIP @jeffbeckmusic You are irreplaceable

[@DonaldHolben]

Met Jen , she was soo sweet!!

[@slimsantilli4476]

Jennifer Batten. A monster in her own right.

[@88wildcat]

It must have been a special occasion. Jeff wore something with sleeves. Only Jeff Beck could make a banana yellow guitar look cool.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Rod Stewart doing Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready w/Jeff on guitar was a commercial hit and a great song showcasing some of Jeff's tasty guitar phrasing

[@cynergy4]

Rock In Peace. Your music will live on forever. My fave performance by him that shows his true mastery is his live performance of "Cause We Ended As Lovers" with Eric Clapton. Beck steals the show!

[@gmanette188]

Thank you

[@gmanette188]

Thanks much

[@mrmetal0251]

I saw SRV open for Jeff Beck in the 80's amazing show and beck had Terry Bozzio on drums 🤘🤘🤘

[@soofitnsexy]

me too at the Garden in nyc

[@bigdave1302]

Jennifer Batten is on the other guitar. She used to be Michael Jackson's guitarist.

[@soofitnsexy]

shes incredible

[@reallymysterious4520]

That was cool - R.I.P. to a somewhat underrated Legend - and we also lost Elvis's one and only child today as well

[@axxellein]

TRES Cool/Heavy Jeff!

[@haroldgilbert6707]

Rip Jeff

[@-R.Gray-]

I've been a Jeff Beck fan since the late 60's, and this song wasn't one of his better ones. See how he plays melodies using the whammy bar to bend harmonics on "Where Were You" from Live At Ronnie Scott's. Jennifer Batten, his second guitarist here, used to play Van Halen's "Beat It" solo when she toured with M.Jackson, and had a column about tapping in Guitar Player Magazine.

[@nuendo2496]

Real Jeff Beck fans have seen all these videos a hundred times….

[@s.mcpherson6354]

*Roger Waters* wrote the vast majority of the stuff that created that famous *Pink Floyd* sound. While their later albums are great, they sound less 'Floydy' than Waters' rock operas, after Floyd. On each of them, he had to replace one of the world's greatest guitar players, so he's variously chosen people like *Eric Clapton,* and on one of the best albums-- *Amused to Death* --he used *Jeff Beck.* His style played beautifully into the feel for *'What God Wants Part One.'* If you don't know the album, it's an impressive piece of art to many.

[@kmichaelp4508]

Jeff had”NO” hits. He never had a charting record. Nor did he try or need one. He played what he wanted and didn’t ask for permission. From “Blow by Blow” , in the 70’s, to present it was all about making his music and showcasing musicians in his band. RIP Jeff

[@ChasingAnthems]

Well said

[@startledmoose]

Jeff Beck may never have had a chart record in the US but in 1967 got to Number 14 in the UK singles charts with Hi Ho Silver Lining. This is an out of character almost novelty recording that he wasn't comfortable with but it was produced by Mickie Most (well known for his pop hits including House of the Rising Sun by The Animals and Susie Quatro's 70s output) who was trying to build on Beck's reputation from The Yardbirds (which he had just left). At the same time Most most producing the first Jeff Beck Group album, Truth, which is now regarded as a blues-rock classic that paved the way for the likes of Led Zeppelin. Hi Ho Silver Lining (if you listen carefully you can hear Rod Stewart on backing vocals) was a party favourite in the UK but, of course, is not representative of what he was trying to do at the time or what he did later.

[@cazgerald9471]

"Blow by Blow" peaked at number 4 on Billboard, seven others reached top 20 if you include "Beck, Bogert & Appice" (peaked at 12). Five albums RIAA certified gold, two RIAA certified platinum. His 2008 "Live at Ronnie Scott's" DVD also RIAA certified platinum.

[@KKMcK1]

Jeff was beyond legend. He was a creative genius and titan of the gods!!! His masterpiece of all is "Angel (Footsteps)" at Ronnie Scott's. - (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWmeJeCaLdjpJI) Nobody but nobody can do this, let alone think it up in the first place! He was my hero since I was 10 in 1965. To say he will be missed is a cosmic-level understatement! My heart is broken!!! He was the one I always looked to when things were looking down and too far in the distance.

[@raymeedc]

You wanna get at the core of the best of Beck? Do yourself a favor & check out Live At Ronnie Scott’s concert free on KZbin. You haven’t even touched the surface yet. “Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers” , “ Pork Pie Hat”, “Les Boots”, etc. Also live at the Hall Of Fame induction ceremony for Stevie Wonder doing “Suspician”, a song written by Wonder for Beck, also on KZbin.

[@shirleymental4189]

I never found out what Mama said

[@dalewalker4666]

Watch the 1999 concert in Tokyo this track is much better on that concert.

[@jackempson3044]

I'ma fan but i've never heard this one. Beck was playing around. This is a very deep rabbit hole. He has ton's of great stuff. This shows nothing of his vast abilities. Try "Going Down" or 'Scatterbrain'. "People Get Ready" With Rod Stewart if you want vocals.

notice all of his effect peddles ... there aren't any .
