“Going Down” at the Jeff Beck Tribute Concert (Royal Albert Hall) May 22, 2023

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

The greatest tribute to Jeff Beck is the fact that literally nobody on that stage sounded a thing like him and Eric Clapton is my favorite guitar player to ever live. Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, and Freddie King spawned millions of clones but there will only ever be one Jeff Beck. I honestly believe he might be the most impossible guitarist to duplicate of all time. NOBODY sounds like Jeff Beck! That is the ULTIMATE compliment that can be paid to a guitar player! Other guitar players understand exactly what I'm saying!

[@donharrold1375]

Yes Jeff walked his own path from the beginning to the end..

[@nickefgen9219]

I totally agree with you Jeff Beck WILL never be duplicated in guitar playing he’s simply an amazing guitar player

As many great guitarists as there were on stage, Derek Trucks was head and shoulders above everyone else *this night*. His command of the guitar is extraordinary. Duane would be proud.

[@patm5086]

Derek's note selection and phrasing are different than most others. I hear Ravi Shankar influence. His tone cut through with alot of high end. The sweet highs not the menacing frequencies

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

Very nice tribute to the #GOATGuitarist IMO. I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck 14 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. #RIPJeffBeck #GOATGuitarist #ICON

[@dougpotosky4102]

Nice words! Did you see Jeff with Rod Stewart playing the classic album Truth? Thinking it was "69" It was incredible! Ps. What is sad for me. How Ana Popovic just not get her fair dues from the so called biggies in the world of guitar players. She never stops touring. Seen her many times. By far my favorite guitar player! And I have seen just about all the greats. She is also very real and humble!

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

@@dougpotosky4102I was only 4 then in 1969 but the 13th time I had seen Jeff Beck was September 27, 2019 at the Hollywood Bowl when he played a half hour encore with Rod Stewart & his band. The footage is here on KZbin.

​@@jg6698indeed he never hogs the limelight considering he is one of the pillars of Guitar legends totally unique in his style and approach. When I saw him a few years back at a local Jazz Festival, every other artist came and watched his performance, paying their respects to one of the all time greats , you could see some of the younger artists shacking their heads trying to follow his solos in disbelief at what they were seeing and this is a guy now over 80 years old he may not be able to play long sets anymore but he still has the magic in those old hands one of my true hero's of music.
