Jeff Beck - Ronnie Scotts Live Interview

[@Wildvideonyc]

"If I fail my band will cover for me". That's crazy humble. In reality his own band members were in awe of him. You could see it in their faces during shows. They were constantly watching him with these expressions of joy and wonderment at what they were hearing and seeing. He was so much fun to watch. Beck knew he was adored. But he was too smart and decent to let it go to his head. Instead he stayed down to earth where he could focus on creating heavenly music and remain a true friend to all those who loved him.

[@kodowdus]

There *was* that one time when Tal "covered" for Jeff after one of his amps failed by having him share her fretboard while she took a solo (which Jeff apparently appreciated so much that they added that "version" to future performances)...

[@dougcameron6609]

@Jonathan Rock Cause Jeff Beck was in dire need of more praise from the public.

[@neillalchin1595]

Amen! Well said mate and spot on. Forever Beck! NA1974🇬🇧.

[@padraiglyons3709]

Not really a Jeff Beck fan but obviously he was a phenomenal musician and the fact that he was so humble playing in Ronnie Scotts really says a lot about his character.

[@Smittron]

I have enjoyed so much of his music. Like many that reach his level he was a perfectionist - always looking to improve his shows so that fans that paid their hard earned money would have a good time.

[@WolffBachner]

In my book, Jeff Beck is one of the five great guitar players ever, and yet, he is so humble. All he wants to do is play well and send the audience home smiling. It is rare to hear a great player be so candid and honest about how hard it is to play in front of a discerning audience. Who would ever imagine Jeff Beck was that nervous about how he would sound, and how the audience would react. After all the years and so much acclaim, he still cares about doing his best. I am thrilled by his musicianship, but even more amazed by Jeff's attitude. So many of the folks from the 60s are dead, burnouts, or a**holes, but Beck seems to have learned the right lessons in life, and he seems to be comfortable in his own skin. That is not an easy thing when you spend most of your life being told how great you are. My hats off to Mr. Beck. Sorry to ramble. In real life, I am a journalist who has covered wars and politics for too many years. Music is my sanity.

[@Zeckellin]

+Wolff Bachner Excellently put! My sentiments exactly. Jeff is class itself.

[@kevinwahl9838]

I feel the same. So lovely to hear him chat away, and in such a down to earth vibe - says much about the man. 🎸🎶❤️

[@mbrand19971]

He's like any otehr regular guy just being his usual normal self and such a sincere man.

[@mciburton]

Watching him perform, listening to him talk about his perspective makes him more alive than so many other artists. They speak humility with their lips but not with their faces. This man is the real deal. Despite his passing, he's still with us in all this brilliant footage. I feel deeply for his wife.

Yes

[@susankirkland3852]

He’s so adorable as well as so talented. What a professional man. Such a monumental loss to music and mankind that he has passed away. ❤🎶 RIP Jeff Beck

[@zackamania6534]

Even though his age of death is not shocking, the fact that he was still so active is what makes his passing very surprising. Tom petty, prince and Glenn Frey were extremely shocking, none of them were 70 yet. George Harrison had been so sick and not playing or making any albums (save for “Brainwashed”)

[@susankirkland3852]

Yes, Jeff was so fit and our expectations for his future and our future to hear his next creations were so high. I saw him live in June and absolutely on top form… almost like a 20 year old.

[@ilevene]

I was lucky to meet Jeff at a launch event for his book. I had heard he could be "prickly" and he was nothing like that. He let me pose him, he mugged for the camera, and even went out onto Sunset Blvd. to wave at one of those tourist buses. Everyone was freaking out. Then he invited me in to sit and have a beer with him. Nice guy, huge loss.

[@JTB--]

A true original and guitar legend. This one stings. RIP Jeff Beck. You will be missed 🙏

[@Beckola11]

I get it. I don't think we're alone. I've got to say not since John Lennon have I felt it like I do with Jeff Beck and even then . It's different. Maybe because I saw him a few times, front row and shared a laugh, I'm older, idk, but it's been over a month and while I listened to him almost every day before his death (smh) I certainly listen everyday now. I'm feeling heartbroken. I can't imagine what his wife is going thru and feeling. It's tragic all the way around 🤍🎸🕊️🎸🤍🎸

I am rarely, if ever, impressed by 'interviews'....same questions and the same answers given with an almost mechanical display of sincerity and interest. This was a FANTASTIC interview with an almost vulnerable Jeff Beck that knocked me off my feet. Loved listening to the responses and his explanations. The depth of honesty of his answers an his conduct during the interview impressed the hell out of me. Great job.

[@craigmcdowell5393]

All true, just an extraordinary talent only surpassed by his palpable humility, how do you get to be this good and so grounded in your place in the musical universe. Him talking about the pride in his band sums him up as a very special talent. Some times you do feel the sky has one less star in it.

[@ricardofranciszayas]

It’s so gratifying that a musician of Mr. Beck’s caliber and uniqueness who is still so humble and still concerned with the music first and foremost, is here to show young musicians how to be a good person too.

How humble is he? Just unimaginable that someone with his talent, craft and skill could be so self effacing. RIP great man.

[@magickennyj]

His music is profound and deeply influential going back to the 1970's for me ,but with KZbin and video his concerts became accessible, what I would have given to have been a fly 🪰 on the wall at Ronnie Scott's for that, this interview let's me see a simple yet complicated virtuoso who has a humble side and a deeply respectful side , he can be intimated by the possibility of a bad performance yet works so hard not to, it's been said by others on here there will be a void that will never be filled by anyone like him in our lifetime and I can only hope to hear him playing in his eternal life praying father God made a place for him to be with us all on the other side of the eternal through Jesus christ our lord.

[@chansfor]

The best interview by miles. A self deprecating genius of a player who probably still doesn't realize how great he is.

Not only is Jeff Beck one of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument, he is so self effacing. The kind of bloke you'd love to spend several evenings in the pub with, it's no wonder he gets such talent to work with him. Such a lovely sense of humour. That's Ronnies gig might be one of the finest musical performances ever captured.

When I first saw the Ronnie Scotts performance I was astonished by the size of the venue versus the band's 'big' sound...I understand the misgivings Jeff had regarding the sound and I admire him for doing the gig. It's one of my favorite DVD's.

[@BSIII]

'Goodbye Pork Pie' from the Ronnie Scott performance is, without a doubt, the most captivating, prettiest, and expressive guitar work i've ever seen and heard. Just mind bending. Completely did stuff on a strat that I've never heard anyone do before, and it's just utterly entrancing. Some people slow down and lose a bit of their skills as they get older, but Jeff aged like a fine Scotch. The entire band has no weak links.

[@guitarsr1]

Many people today recognize that Jeff Beck is a phenomenal composer and guitarist. However, old guitar players - like me - will remember multiple ... decades ... when we considered him to be perhaps the greatest guitarist's electric guitarist... who relatively few among the public knew even existed. It is astonishing that this guy has been blowing the minds of guitarists with his ability to write great stuff that is so incredibly, seamlessly - perfectly - supported by his phenomenal playing skills... for... over... 50 ... years. There have been many (albeit a very small percentage of all) guitarists who have come along. Jeff Beck has transcended greatness: He is among the handful who are legendary. And to think that between his two great interests, if only one is a passion, it is building hot rods. That would make the guitar... just his hobby. Jeff, on behalf of 99.9999% of guitarists everywhere..it just ain't fair.

As artists, we all fail, and as we reach for more, we fail more. In my work with artists across the spectrum I’ve observed that the best ones know how to fail. I know that might sound trite, but it is more meaningful than it might sound. When we miss a pitch we can either own the clam or turn it into chowder, sliding into the next note we know will fit. The greats do this so adroitly we can be excused for thinking they don’t screw up. It remains, at the end of the day, art.

[@davec276]

There will always be debate as to who the best gutarist of all time is and it is a difficult choicce to make with so many coming and going over time. There's the technical aspect, originality, listenability, heart and soul and finally the "X" factor. And then there's the ear of the listner. As we the listner age we begin to appreciate things we don't usually appreciate when we were younger, for example, the voice of Andrea Bocelli. Jeff Beck hits all the marks. If you go now and listen to Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Ritchie Blackmore, heck throw in Chet Atkins, John McLaughlin, Clapton, Page, Jesse Cook, the closest you'll find to Beck might be Paco DeLucia in terms of hitting all the targets, however in this example, it's for a whole different style of music. I love the artistry of all the guitarists I mentioned however I can't listen to most for too long. Jeff Beck serves us a 5 star meal with all the different flavors of tastes and smells. It's a feast for the ears. I told my ex-wife before our first time seeing Jeff Beck together, this was in San Francisco about 10 years ago or so, I said "he makes grown men cry. His playing touches the soul" and she laughed thinking I was exaggerating like I tend to do. And who would have believed the guy next to us at the concert actually was wiping away tears! Us long time fans of Jeff Beck look at these moments like a parent does to their child when after many years of practicing soccer he/she finally made a goal. After emotion and commotion came out 10 years ago we realized this was the start of a rebirth of the man who took all the risks over all the years and influenced so many. And finally he was getting his. The "Live at Ronnie Scotts" is the "drop the mic" moment. There's a reason Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Jon Bon Jovi and Brian May were in the audience. What a great time to be alive and have the amazing opportunity to hear electric guitar plyed at it's finest by what seems to be not only the greatest guitarist ever but also a humble human being.

This tops all the 'big' venues by far! ✌🎹🥁🎸🎶😎

Jeff's attitude to playing Ronnie's again perfectly summed up his approach to music and much of the reason his constant musical evolution over the decades; 'been there, done that'.

I like the fact Jeff always takes a little time for the press,were fans,we want to hear the story behind the story and I admire him for that..A lot of artists create their own bad press,by never allowing their fans to hear the stories,see behind the stage,etc.

What is most noticeable about this interview is that it doesn't matter who you are, there is a lot of pressure to perform and not let your audience down. I have noticed that the greater the performer (and Jeff Beck is one of the greatest!), the greater the pressure. I have seen this happen with people as great as Roger McGuinn, Pete Townshend, and even Bob Dylan. But none of them should worry because these people do not ever disappoint. Jeff Beck is amazing always, certainly up there with Hendrix and other great guitarists. I love his commitment to music in and for itself. He puts so much thought into everything he plays.

Bless the UK for producing a whole lot of amazing guitarists.

Great icon interview in an iconic place. I'm 66 and grew up with Beck and all the greats, I sat right where this took place, and while there felt the greatness of such a place. Thanks for sharing this magic.
