God the tonal contrast between Martin and Mark is so striking and so good.

[@aakashmishra731]

Exactly

[@islander4986]

Some of that due to the difference twixt Martin's humbuckers and Mark's single coil pickups.

[@DennisMorassut]

Revisiting this amazing performance by some incredibly talented musicians after the very sad news of Jeff Beck's passing. It's clear that we can draw a direct line from his groundbreaking improvisational style to Martin, Mark and crew, and I'm certain his music will continue to influence them and countless other musicians for years to come. Can't wait to hear the results! Long live the music, spirit, and soul of Jeff Beck!

[@roderickbalt8993]

Not refuting your opinion here with mine but I felt it had to be said. Although it's a lovely version these guys have done it's a far cry from the creativity of Jeff Beck. These guys are technically very good and it's all executed and recorded very neat and tidy, a pleasure to listen to, but it's not really the raw art in the way that Jeff Beck made ;). So I think the line from Jeff Beck doesn't go to these guys per se ;).

[@grahamhobbs5491]

Jeff Beck will always be the benchmark on this tune. But these guys did a truly awesome job

[@frankgreco]

I honestly thought the production was not at the same level as the others in Martin's series. Of course, the musicianship is stellar. All the players are magnificent. But imo, there was too much video cutting from player to player. During the solos and fills, I'd like to see the person doing those. And not from a distance. It was a bit dizzying. Its not the quality of the recording; its more an issue of the camera editing.

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

the drum mix is just beyond excellent!

[@yngwiemalmsteen5376]

The chords on the guitar parts are wrong tho, what's that V7? In the keyboard solo they are right

[@jeffreyhill8040]

I was on a Navy Destroyer in the Mediterranean in 1975-76 and the Electronics Techs handled our ship's entertainment system. "Blow By Blow" was played on a regular rotation. Every song on the album stuck in my mind for ten or twenty years, before I finally learned who it even WAS that I had been listening to! I used to listen to FM radio non-stop, and finally heard the DJ give credit to Jeff Beck after playing this, and I said "Whoa"! Of course, I had to go buy the CD, and still have that in my collection.

[@denizdogard2182]

I like the way they take hold of the song and put their style into it without distorting it.They understood the music, it's magic

[@TheGrimReepher]

This is by far the most emotional piece of music I have ever listened to. I come back to this cover time after time, and it only gets better every time I listen to it. Every little nuance this cover has only adds to the already mesmerizing song that is cause we’ve ended as lovers.
