I remember back in the 70's when Jeff Beck and the Mahavishnu Orchestra were touring together. I got to see them twice, and each time Beck came out for the encore and jammed with McLaughin.......and each time he'd through his hands in the air when McLaughlin would play, as if he was throwing in the towel.

Here you can hear why Jeff belongs to one of the best ever....... thanx! 🙏

[@chunyemalerguognimamuol2506]

I have a feeling that after Les Paul and Gene Vincent, John McLaughlin was the next most influential guitarist, and Blow By Blow would not have been possible without John McLaughlin's influence. Among the musicians who took part in the Jeff Beck tribute concert organised by Clapton, it was John McLaughlin who gave the most outstanding performance. The depth of the Jeff and John bond was felt.

[@chunyemalerguognimamuol2506]

The member of musicians on that concert had a good line-up, but the musicians didn't seem to have had much practice, and the performance had the feel of a primary school music recital, with a lot of noise and messiness. However, I believe that John stood on stage with the Jeff Beck Band, played his guitar with sincerity and with his feelings for Jeff.

[@costabotes9107]

One should also mention Derek Trucks as an honourable exception to the ‘messiness’. His rendition of Goodby Pork Hat was pretty spellbinding, and for me evoked the spirit of Beck.

[@barrieflix]

I was there at the Albert Hall - Not unexpectedly the guitar playing wasn't as good as the man himself (who I saw many times live). John McLaughlin was probably closest technically, though Derek Trucks was probably closest to that Beck sound. I think actually Imelda May was my favourite moment.

[@genefilippino1861]

Spectrum by Billy Cobham with Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer was a huge inspiration for JB to change course. Bolin rips on this album 🥺🎸

The most purists may turn up their noses when they come across fusion, but it is a musical style that has been recognised by the world since Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis were planning to make music together, at the end of the 60s, more than half a century ago

these two cats together ! I listened to BBa at the Bataclan in 1975, Mahavisnu Orchestra around the same time at the Olympia, same guitars, a black Les Paul and a two necks electric, but never together ! What a treat for us, guitar lovers...

[@AwaTu]

❤ Two massively influential talents... Never saw then perform together... Thanks, so much for this rare treat!

[@Oneness100]

I saw them perform together when they toured in 1975. I saw two concerts back to back. I saw Beck ask McLaughlin to jam on Freeway Jam and McLaughlin literally went to a point where Beck threw up his hands and stopped playing because he couldn't compete. Jeff folded his hands afterward and watched like the rest of us. In the mid-70's McLaughlin was untouchable. Two totally different styles for sure. I wish those two concerts were recorded on video that would be great to revisit those concerts.

[@andragg]

Wonderful! What I love most about these two guitarists is they both sound completely different than the other, and they're both equally great. At minute 3:13 Beck's solo is just incredible, the sounds he gets are amazing. You know they were being pushed by the other to play at a higher level. Nice compilation of two of the greatest.

[@derrymr]

Beck is the most creative and expressive of the two that night.

[@GCKelloch]

A. Which night? B. Depends how you measure those metrics. I love and miss Beck as much as any guitar player. He does more with sound textures and unorthidox techniques, making the most of the electric guitar's sonic potential, but McLaughlin applies more melodic and chordal variation. It could be said that McLaughlin is more creative/expressive, or at least has the ability to be, from a purely musical standpoint. Creativety is hard to judge in players with such different approaches.

[@alaincozzoli]

Le son de Mac est moins vivant... Plus technique... Plus virtuose pour être virtuose. Beck vit plus quand même. MC on dirait un concours de notes

[@kentholmberg1818]

Hard to compare them. John is the most technical guitarist I know who plays humbuckers with a pick. Jeff uses more fuzz, his fingers and a Strat with the vibrato to form his signature sound. Both sounds like themselves and are true pioneers of fusion. Love them both ❤

[@alaincozzoli]
