I worked on one of his shows last year (I'm a stagehand). I was so thrilled because usually I'm working with crappy bands that I can't stand and for a change I was working for one of my idols. I worked all day with his guitar tech...who was SUPER COOL! Then I turned down the show call so I could actually watch the show. I was given an all access pass, so I ended up hanging out on stage left sitting on a case just out of view and right next to his tech. I was in HEAVEN...best seat in the house, about 20 feet from Jeff. He kept looking looking over at me and smiling...he clearly knew I was a huge fan. It was like hey...watch this or what do you think of that? He had very minimal lighting ( I actually have the original lighting plot print out on a poster sized sheet which I framed). After the show ended he came off on stage right and we were all gathered up to go out and tear down the show. I applauded and bowed to him...he was like "you again?" He gave me two thumbs up and put his hands together as if in prayers and bowed and said thank you :) What a night!

What a great story! I am (was?) a stagehand and did a CS&N show at a small venue. As we stood off stage waiting to take out the show... Crosby, Stills and Nash paused and talked something over with each other. As they headed to the dressing rooms, Crosby looked at us and said... "All right, guys. Now it's your turn." Felt nice! Hope we get our industry back and hope you are doing all right!

I heard him in the Yardbirds days, when I still found it hard to hold a guitar. But he wasn’t yet my favorite guitarist, just one of the extraordinary guitar gang… He grew over the years, his guitar singing in my ears and slowly taking over my heart and soul, until there was no doubt in my mind that he was the greatest rock guitarist I had ever known. This tune or any other among myriad Jeff put his fingers to, it doesn’t matter - it was all inventive, brilliant, unique. And so it will remain in my mind. Good bye, Jeff. Thanks.

This album (Who Else) was a wake-up call to the decades of mastery I’d missed. I’d listened to his Yardbirds stuff, but was learning Page, Clapton, Hendrix, etc.. After a buddy showed me this I went out and got Truth, BeckOLa, and Blow By Blow. I’ve got most of them now, and I can play the notes, but there’s something special about the way Jeff played that I’ll be chasing for the rest of my life.

What Jeff Beck has brought to the world of electric guitar, more than any other player, is lyricism.

I too had the pleasure of seeing Jeff a few years ago in London, but with Rhonda Smith on bass. Now I loved Rhonda in her Prince days. She is more a virtuoso bassist than Tal and like you, it was great, but different. Thank you for putting me onto CAB. I love to discover and be recommended new bands to check out!! If your Stateside then I can recomend a band for you that are very new in the UK. Check out Royal Blood. Only bass player and drummer. Very cool!! A bit heavier, but awesome! Also for more of a 70's vibe, very jazzy, check a band called Jungle from the UK. Man I could go on talking music forever. Stay cool and please give me more bands Stateside to listen to!
