The Pump-Larry Carlton & Steve Lukater Band

[@SwampEye1]

Tony Hymas wrote this tune for all guitar players ... thnx Tony ...

[@robertschueneman6799]

My Brother ❤ Jeff would just SMILE and listen lovingly to these 2 CATS. !!!!!!!

[@guitarttimman]

It would've been great to see all three of 'em on a stage together. John Mclaughlin did it and we know how great he he is!

[@stevesjurset4880]

A classic amongst my crowd. Thank You.

[@thomassicard3733]

What an awesome nod to Jeff Beck, here! Thanks to Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips for this great tune, as well!!!

[@HBSuccess]

Well now… if you’re 35-70 yrs old you’re listening to two of the guitarists who shaped your world. Just appreciate them, tell them “than

[@chrisbowley8208]

I've not seen or heard any player even try to imitate Jeff Beck but if there were to ever be a showdown amongst the planet's best, Steve just might be the closest to Jeff's sound and texture.

[@stratoleft]

Tony Hymas composed this tune which opens up a whole range of possibilities. And Larry and Steve did everything in this I had no clue that was even possible. Absolutely spectacular!

[@henktwilt7157]

What a beautifuj tribune. Love these guys.

[@thomassicard3733]

Yeah! - throw in a quote from Josie!!! These guys are super cool!!! Thank you for posting this.

[@guitarttimman]

This is Larry and Steve opening up a can of whoopass on their guitars! AMAZING❤

[@NAntonsson82]

Yes!! Remember when I bought the live cd, epic moment.....LOVE❤️🎶💫🎸👌🏼🙏🏼😆😘

[@soeurtherese5747]

we were all youn ! best from France !

[@GrovesGuitars]

What a monster Larry is. No substitute for water under the bridge kids. Good luck catching up to these two guys.

[@guitarttimman]

Larry knows it all. He was a master studio musician for many years in every genre. Of course he can do it all.

[@adamwhitbread4897]

Highly enjoyable - best thing I did with 18 minutes today. Thanks for posting. Jeff would have loved it.

[@guitarttimman]

Larry's guitar solo gave me goose bumps ❤

[@benandrews9762]

A Synergistic result from all of those Incredible musicians! A performance for the books!

[@mickytx]

Drum mix is big time goodness!!! Yay, sound guys who get it.

[@RtaniDean]

Omg. That was too great. Jesus those guitars are off the hook creating. Wow.

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

Two studio aces and guitar legends.

Awesomeness! Luke & Larry Oh my, I am so happy!!

[@jimdamiano3383]

Holy shit how good is this clip wow!!!!

[@terryfarley1554]

I know, right!? I listen to this daily and STILL can’t believe how good they sound! The only other band I can say that about is steely Dan, and they hired larry to play for them!😍

[@Guitfiddlejase]

I had a VERY good time watching this.. thanks for posting!!

[@bunkyboy]

Love these guys. Lukather (check the spelling) is simply the best working guitarist in the world. That said nobody ever did this tune better than Jeff Beck.

[@salc2383]

Amazing guitars of course but why am I noticing how great that snare sounds?

[@jereuter01]

And that bass!

[@martywalsh5348]

Gary Ferguson on drums

[@Theweeze100]

Luke needs more credit…He’s an “Alien” (musicians used to say Monster, but the sports world stole it, and we had to come up with another term) and writes from the Heart! 🥲😎 Everybody knows Larry is The Bar we all aspire to🥺🤩

[@thomassicard3733]

The Pump was co-written by Tony Hymas and and Simon Phillips and was first released on Jeff Beck's There and Back album in June 1980.

5:13 -- Lukather jumped on that quick once he realised it was going to feedback like that. Creativity supreme.

[@guitarttimman]

ya Steve is great too, but Carlton too. I hope that you watched his solo. That gave me goose bumps.

Like to have heard Larry play this jam when he was in his 20s. Jaws would drop.

the Bass player is great! and others! Luke forever

[@treeduck3705]

He's dead now unfortunately, back in 2011. RIP Chris Kent.

[@lizziesangi1602]

THE PUMP Composed by JEFF BECK, from the album, THERE AND BACK. Japan has JEFF BECK Band Wars, which go on for two weeks. The Japanese musicians are MASTERS at their craft. They take it VERY SERIOUSLY. These guys got nothing on the Japanese musicians. Akira Wakimodo, guitar.

[@uhuhuuuhhh9883]

Nice , but no cigar. they are overplaying it . the song builds along with Beck's accentuations .

[@ralphstasilli4273]

lolololol

[@haydenfirestone4595]

Wtf are yall talking about lol, I personally find this song better here than the OG faster pace and more stuff happening Not disrespecting jeff..

You got a URL for Beck's version? Thanks.

[@guitarttimman]

No one touched Larry Carlton's all around guitar playing. He can play jazz as great or greater than any of the legends. Look up Larry playing SO WHAT. or, check out the first number he plays with Les Paul. He's great here, but this is just the tip of the ice berg for this man. LC is my favorite guitarist.

[@antani8610]

Steve Lukather that is his name .

[@life-is-inspiring3953]

Larry is much deeper than Steve, but both are great

[@kuleebaba9014]

You don't mean better, do you? Cuz I think they complement each other. The fact that they're different is what makes it work...just saying. Btw, the quote from Josie at 17:14 is the coolest!

Ridiculous utterly superficial comment. You should be embarrassed.

[@SwampEye1]

Luke is a great guitar player ... but Jeff and Larry are in a different league ...

[@damionirving]

I concur!

[@NumericalCounts]

Just imagine if someone really loved playing the guitar but was such a natural that they used their ability on the guitar to fund something they possibly loved more……like messing around with cars.

[@michelmdjay8235]

Lukather's solo really sucks to this day (I should know, I was there back then O^O)... Carlton's tasty and excellent as usual.

[@jasonism123]

Luke's on of those over rated guitarists..his phrasing lacks substance.

[@DannyBrooks1]

Dupree Johnson not sure I agree. Luke has played on hundreds of albums and written some very memorable solos.

[@ricklewis5804]

Dupree Johnson I’ve never heard of him until watching this video.

[@collinjamesguitar]

Anybody who says Lukather is over rated is obviously a fucking amateur guitar player. Get back in your bedrooms!

[@steveswell1]

@@ricklewis5804 Shameful, to say the least.

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

kind of dont like luthaker just bursting out into full solo mode early in the tune. and i am a fan of his more tasteful playing.

[@davidbailey6563]

Take a Beck classic and then over egg the pudding. Are the guitarists good? Yes. Does it work? No.

[@cesarccoronel1156]

Their Rendition of beck’ work did not match the level Of el becko. They are two monster legends but becko had another phrasing style, another subtle sound , way of picking the notes, another thing on on his music machine,l agree.

[@1013301]

I like Gary Ferguson's drumming. He sounds a lot like Simon Phillips, but without all the over-use of cymbals and double bass bullshit, that sucks the taste right out of his drumming.

[@scottmatheson2390]

double kick and cymbals all clattering away in 7/8 time..jeez Simon it's "Dock of The Bay" fer gawd sake... not "Tom Sawyer."

[@musopaul5407]

Never heard this guy before. Marvellous player!

[@davidlauter1622]

Beck is in a class by himself period these guys over play and their tones are horrible end of story

[@cesarccoronel1156]

I agree with you, Beck can not be emulated. These geniuses rendition’s goes to the point when you are not willing to continue listening to this.

[@debo8514]

Please toss off elsewhere.

[@keithreeder]

Too much for your brain cell to take in, princess?

[@duanetwo]

What a lot of bullshit!!! Total destruction of Jeff Beck's the Pump!

[@treeduck3705]

The song is actually written by Simon Phillips and Tony Hymas, but yeah a Jeff Beck tune from his 1980 album There & Back.

[@KirkyDrums]

Larry your a great player but that was so not tasty , Luke you played good but you to had the rank button on

Kirky Drums When you have won Grammys and toured the world and made millions you can talk..until then shut the fuck up and worry about when your rent is due.

[@davidzuniga9362]

Villaboy well said man, couldn't agree more with you

[@grundid44]

OK So what a sorry effort. Lukather stayed on key the whole time, great. Like an insect smashing into a window over and over. Still didn't catch the eternal ear. Carlton is a one trick vertical scale old horse, but there's no real music to his work, not since the Crusaders. It's like watching Clyde Crashcup and Leonardo. Why would anybody want to imitate Jeff Beck, no one can do what he does, no one. They didn't even get the intro notes to Josie right.

[@JordanHigginsGuitar]

Lukather stayed 'on key' .. okay. No one even tried to 'imitate' Beck here, you said that yourself when you somehow misjudged Carlton for being a one trick pony so nice job contradicting yourself too. I'm not sure how two of the most recorded guitarists of all time could garner such hate from you but I think in time you'll learn to appreciate them. If not, that's fair enough but I feel bad for anyone who doesn't learn to appreciate these two guys
