Funny... i clicked & went Oh Yah the Ronnie Scotts gig.. in London He played 5 nights there. There are quite a few Vids from these shows. Excellent , i will be was this again, later tonight.

For a time Jeff walked among us, showed us what’s possible…,the light he’s left , now burns for us all to find our own way. Thank You Jeff.

[@anthonywhite2960]

Jeff Beck was a complete original musician. He was always evolving. I loved watching him perform, you could always see the joy in his face as he played. The man loved what he did.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

I think he’d be surprised how much love the world has for him.

[@timhancock6626]

I think you are so right. That's the shame of it in a way, but I imagine his family has been very comforted by the outpouring of acknowledgement from the world over. When she was much younger my wife would see him as she lived not far away from him and he could have been anybody. He was completely unassuming.

[@taylorfusion]

I jammed with Jeff Beck in 2015….we played Blue Wind, and Hey Joe. Before we started Hey Joe, he asked me what was the second section chords he had forgotten! I was thinking damn I just gave Jeff Beck a guitar lesson. When he shook my hand, he faked me out and pulled the cable out of my Strat. Couple years later, I found a video on KZbin that shows Les Paul doing the same thing to Jeff back when they met on stage. Cheeky bloke. Rest in peace guitar hero. I have a jamming with Prince story too but that’s for another video 😊

[@stevevice9863]

He was the most creative guitarist I've ever listened to. Always pushing his art farther and farther. RIP Jeff.

[@backdoorarts5243]

Got to see Jeff Beck back in 1980 on the There And Back tour. He was one of the greatest back then, but I've never known anyone who was already considered "one of the best" continue to revolutionize the instrument the way he did. This was high school for me, and I was a jazz head bass player and Wired was constantly on my turntable because of the interplay between Jeff and Wilbur Bascomb. As my musical interests grew I reached both back and forward with him. I'd always known about his Cliff Gallup obsessions, but Crazy Legs blew me away hearing him play that. The show linked is part of a residency he did at Ronnie Scott's, and if you've never seen the DVD release from that it shows the breadth of what he can do. I can't say that I have a definitive Beck album now. For me he's a bit like David Bowie, reinventing himself on a regular basis for most of his career before being able to settle in and do anything. I was crushed when I heard he passed in a way I haven't since I heard about Terry Kath, my first guitar hero, back in the 70's. Thanks for sharing, Otis.

Jeff was playing 'stunt guitar' in 1965-66 long before people even heard Hendrix. All on a 1-pickup Esquire! Controlled feedback, using the volume and tone controls as effects, etc. Just a supremely talented guy....

[@charlesnolan7602]

I followed Jeff Beck intensly starting March 1977 with Jeff Beck live with the Jan Hammer group through now! I had heard Jeff 's Yardbird songs on AM radio in the 1960's. I heard a bit of Jeff with BBA. Jeff appeared on Stanley Clarke's Journey to love, 1975. So...I saw Jeff several times, 1980-2014. It wasn't only a concert, it was a spectacular spectacle in guitar playing. Every time I saw him, he had reinvented himself!

[@vonrock6862]

Saw Jeff Beck in Seattle in the late 60’s at the Eagles Ballroom, no seats everyone sat on the floor. He came on stage in blue jeans an a white t-shirt. With his back towards the crowd he played solo for an hour, he had us mesmerized, back then WOW was the word.

[@johncarlo7395]

Jeff lived in his mum's house in Demesne Road, Wallington, when he was a teenager, I lived about two or three miles away from him, I was about 16 he was about 18, I used to go round to his house and he sometimes came round to mine, he taught me quite a lot of pull off's and hammer on's, as I was just starting out, he was an absolutely amazing player at that age, and I'm still nowhere near it, but I plod on.

[@deanoppergoalieclinics834]

Otis,you are spot on about everything you say about Jeff Beck. I made it to Austin,TX a few times to see Jeff Beck,always incredible,and Stevie Ray was always on his mind! I was also at the Brown County,Nashville,IN show you mentioned with Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp and they tore it up! The Video you shared was @Ronnie Scott's NOV 2007 it was the 6th and extra set of his 5-Night Residency that week,I was put in the front row because a crazeed fan was standing up playing 'Air Guitar' so his manager put people he knew from then on instead. I am sending my condolences,and am gutted from Jeff's passing,I traveled all over following Jeff all the way until his final show in Reno,NV, they'll never be another. If you are on Facebook please find me,I put a Jeff Beck post.Sending my condolences to you,his family,and wife Sandra,and all other fans worldwide, :Dean...

[@basura2001]

[@Foofang65]

The dude was absolutely brilliant. I think he was so advanced from his counterparts. Meaning the other bunch of players that surrounded him. Anyway. He will forever be one of the greats from this little ole planet of ours. My favorite era of his music. Would have to be the early years. I can’t get enough of the yardbirds. Peace to you Jeff. Your journey has just begun.✌️

"Six Strings Down." The Maestro, Jeff Beck💖

[@mdhj67]

Long time Jeff Beck fan. Blow by Blow and Wired were always my favorite albums from Beck and his version of Good Bye Pork Pie Hat takes me on a journey every time I listen to it. Unlike most rock and rollers that came into the spotlight in the 60's, Beck's creativity never stopped expanding. The man never 'settled down' professionally.

[@johnrobb8435]

Over the years I saw Jeff Beck maybe a dozen times. Recently, I found a few torn off ticket stubs from back in the day and one was from Jeff Beck sharing the bill with the Mahavishnu Otchestra at Hofstra University on Long Island. The price was $6.50!! Probably the most memorable show was Jeff and Stevie Ray back in the '89 at Maddison Square Garden and it was billed as the "Fire Meets the Fury" tour. BTW, I was stationed at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin back in '69-'71 and I believe that the base is now the municipal airport.

[@FuriousMess]

I got to see Jeff numerous times over the years starting from The Jeff Beck Group that featured Rod the Mod and Ron Wood on bass in a little teen club. It was always a trancendental experience as a guitar player. God Bless you Jeff wherever you are jamming with Jimi and Stevie.

[@tomp.6239]

Had just spun Truth & Beckola, back to back, plunking my Tele, trying to keep up, then I hear next day he'd up & died. Felt like a family member gone. I thought he was timeless, never gonna' die. RIP, pure Genius.

[@57hound]

I had they great privilege to see Jeff Beck twice-once in the late ‘70s, then again just a few years ago. Both times, he played his ass off. At the ‘70s show, he came out for 3 or 4 encores, each time it seemed he was so amazed that the crowd was digging him so much. The more recent show, he was touring with Buddy Guy. Guy opened, then came back later and played a few numbers with Jeff and his band-awesome expedience. IMHO, of all the ‘60s/‘70s era “Rock Guitar Gods”, Jeff was the only one who kept evolving, pushing the envelope of what can be done with a guitar, growing as an artist. The world has lost an irreplaceable musician. If you haven’t already, search KZbin for his performances at Ronnie Scott’s. That will give you some idea of what he was capable of doing. RIP Jeff Beck

[@akoolstik]

Otis, you called out all my favorite characteristics of Jeff Beck! big vocabulary! appreciation of guitar music style! fan of other musicians! yes indeed.

[@neilfriedman]

There is a whole concert called Rock n Roll Party, with Emelda May. A tribute to Les Paul. Also with Trombone Shorty. Available on dvd.

[@guitarshapedpizza]

I really enjoyed the second incarnation on the Jeff Beck group with Clive chaman Bob tench cozy pal Max Middleton. That was such a great hybrid of pop jazz and sort of that band's own style. But I also loved blow-by-blow when it came out as anybody you ever owned a guitar did. And I loved Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer. That live openly did is wonderful. And of course his yardbird stint, legendary

Saw Jeff Healy open for Jeff Beck opening for SRV in Toronto awhile back - Healy was a hometown boy made good - JB was full on fusion on fire (not a word spoken until he gave a shoutout to Healy) whoa boy! SRV smoked the place (my second SRV show saw him at Massey Hall in 84) - finally SRV does a couple of encores and then invites a "friend of his" out - JB and SRV proceeded to absolutely fry Freddie King's Goin Down🔥🔥🔥 - the only tune JB played that night that had lyrics - great night goes without saying - sadly none of these legends are with us any more 😞

[@jseymourguenther6527]

Speaking of KZbins of JBeck, I love the semi- recent Ronnie Scott’s gig with the young woman on bass, especially his cover of “A Day in the Life”

[@johncurtis920]

Jeff Beck was an astounding musician, a conversationalist really with the guitar as his voice. His relative uniqueness in his field of endeavor, leaving aside his musicianship, was that he remained a force even as most of his contemporaries were aging out. He continually explored the musical terrain with new artists. I daresay he brought the likes of a young bassist phenom, female Aussie bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, to larger public awareness at one point. Or at least I became aware of her thru Beck. You should KZbin the session they did entitled "Live at Ronnie Scotts," a personal fave of mine. And one of his recent CD's, Loud Hailer, proved him to still be cuttin' it on the edge of musical terrain. He seemed more than willing to cultivate young, male and female, talent. I can think of no finer way to eulogize the man than by that which Bill Murray said upon introducing him on stage at an event: "Ladys and Gentlemen, he IS the TRUTH! Nobody sounds like the honorable Jeff Beck!!" Indeed. NoooBODY does. Not even Clapton, no slouch at his art, could match Beck's sound. Lighters in the air please folks, or smart phone lights to you younger readers viewing this, here's to the passing of an age in music! We will not see his like again. John~ American Net'Zen

[@grinkashman7884]

Well said. JB is my favorite musician! Saw him several times, but saw him oct 10th at the Count Basey Theatre 2nd row, right in front of him. Unbelievable show, Johnny was good, Rhonda , Anika and Jason were all exceptional. 3 months later and he's gone.

[@pueblobeefcorn2070]

I saw him open for Santana once. He blew everyone's minds with a jaw dropping set. The audience was shaking it off and crying for more when Beck exited. Carlos came out praising Beck and acknowledged what had just happened, how the air had been sucked out of the outdoor venue. Then Carlos was begging Beck to come out on stage and jam. Literally begging from the stage, three cheers for Jeff Beck type thing, and for whatever reason Beck didn't come out. I felt bad for Carlos, he said he was on that tour for six weeks and Beck still wouldn't jam w/him. lol. Spinal Tap moment. He and Stevie Ray did a show in Toronto, Jeff Healy opened. It was called the Fire and the Fury Tour. SRV was touring the In Step album and Beck was on the Guitar Shop Tour. Outrageous show. Terry Bozzio was drumming w/Beck. He got better with age as his right hand developed a mind of it's own. Every time he toured he added dynamic musicians and warped out into new styles. The last time I saw him was in 2011 and that was the best concert I've ever seen. He did How High the Moon on that Gretsch and Somewhere Over the Rainbow on the Strat. He had Merle Haggard or Stevie Wonder level cool/class. Jeff was big on Chet/Les/Cliff Gallup...Roy Buchanan Cause We've Ended as Lovers is as close to a human voice as a guitar can get. He was the gold standard.

wish that show with Stevie was 10 yrs later.i remember the sound being horrible.stadium shows have gotten so much better all those amazing musicians deserved a better venue

[@tommilks3043]

Saw Jeff numerous times and saw the tour where he opened for Santana. It was at Starplex in Dallas. That was a a rare time that I think Carlos had more energy than Beck that night. Beck is by far still the best I have ever seen. Playing in heaven for God now.

Thx for bringing your perspective Otis, I wasn't aware of his rockabilly roots.

Jeff has simply been a marvel of sound and invention my whole life and was thrilled he was a force of style,imagination and the sweetest hands in the business.. while maintaining his love and appreciative generosity to his peers, A beautiful guy went capriciously before his time and talent had been maximized. It hit me kinda hard, but the cat DID live in all our times. Lucky us.

[@williamknell864]

Jeff Beck's enthusiasm for the players he was on stage with was one really cool aspect of his musicality and elder statesman stature. His right hand was like a Swiss Army Leatherman tool for operating a Strat to probably its utmost. There's more fascinating stuff going on right there than in most of what passes for "live" music in the 21st century. His playing on "Looking For Another Pure Love," on Stevie Wonder's Talking Book album is one of my favorite things he did. The idea of those two guys in a studio, just bouncing ideas around, at that point in their lives is pretty damn incredible.

[@Baz-Ten]

Wow I didn't know that it was Jeff Beck on `Another pure love' . What a sweet sharp solo!

[@redroverthefngamecat]

The juxtaposition of the Rockabilly set and how Jeff "normally" plays is amazing. His unique style of playing is so nuanced and original. On the Ronnie Scott Blu-ray, watch the Rockabilly set and then the regular Jeff set. You'll be slapped in the face by his originality and style. Unbelievable!
