“Train Kept a Rollin’” | Jeff Beck Tribute 5-23-23 | Song 17 (Kirk Hammett’s “Greeny” ‘59 Les Paul)

[@mickknight6963]

I'll just go watch "Jeff Beck, Live @ Ronnie Scotts"......it dont get no better than that! ✌️😎 Miss ya, Jeff.

[@alanmiller2250]

JEFF was devastating at Ronnie Scott's. His playing was on fire. Everyone was there and he did not disappoint. He was just locked in a groove all night. He always plays so fantastic!!

I love the Ronnie Scott's show, but this is still my favourite- just wish it was remastered (video-wise) and available on blu-ray... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGXInn13iK6oj6M

[@phosphodiesterase]

Lots of Metallica or Kirk Hammett haters. I only found this video because of what I had heard about the criticism regarding Kirk's playing and I wanted to see it for myself. It was entertaining and I'm sure all the people on stage were having a great time. It appears to me that most of the criticism as is usually the case comes from people at home, who probably don't play on a stage regularly. Not that they don't have a right to an opinion but have you ever heard, if you have nothing good to say then keep your mouth shut. Then you have that he was in the wrong key, how many people can really identify that. I sense more disdain for Kirk or what he's a part of (Metallica) than I do anything else. Just my opinion.

[@Billy_Blades]

No, it's that alot of us are guitar players and if we did that we would be clowned hard a f. The out of time, wrong key, no feel and may I add " Tacky" attempt is not a dis... it's my observation of the obvious. Kinda like Marylin Manson singing with a choir or orchestra. Except with wrong notes 🤭

[@mydayis5]

I’m definitely not a Kirk hater - he played some of the best metal solos of the 1980s……..but he’s playing out of key in this song and I’ve no idea how he manages to do that!

[@CaribSurfKing1]

Kirk plays G minor pentatonic...over G major.....hilarious! Ron plays H drunkolian! Depp plays open string slaps in E minor ( the way the guitar is tuned ). Billy may have actually played in the correct scale!

[@Bogallan]

He's trying to haul the notes into key for the first couple of bars, when he's still down at the cowboy end, but then totally gives up once he travels up to the dusty end. The truly mystifying thing is he just carries on regardless. No attempt to get things back on track. To think that Greeny is in the hands of this clown. I must say that I hate these sorts of tribute shows. Too many guitars on stage together, all trying to blow each other away. The guy they are there to honour is usually forgotten.

The emotion in the crowd and on stage in tribute to Jeff Beck was unmistakable. If anyone went with the expectation of having 10 guitarists sound awesome at the same time would have left disappointed. If you went in celebration of talent on the stage giving tribute to a guitar playing buddy, then no words can express the joy of seeing a group of men and women jamming for 3 hours at RAH.

It's not a random mistake, either. The song is a blues in E, but has a minor 3rd riff on the tonic and a modified turnaround with no V chord. So, it's an understandable mistake to assume the song is in G...if you just started playing the guitar a month ago.

I’m one of the biggest JB fans. He was much more than a rock guitarist.. this entire tribute is painful to watch because of the low production value across the board. The entire music community should have contributed to make the best state of the art show for a contributor such as Beck, playing his material in all sorts of genres.

[@derviator7420]

FULLY in agreement, Scott. I'm not unappreciative of the efforts here, and kudos to Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood et alia for making it happen, but, yeah, this tribute could have also showcased JB's fusion and experimental side (granted, DT's rendition of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat was great and John McLaughlin showed up). But imagine if Jan Hammer or Steve Lukather was there, imagine some other perhaps younger virtuoso musicians playing Led Boots or Star Cycle. I understand that not everyone could show up due to scheduling or whatnot, but I'm just saying I would have liked a more wholistic representation, say, of the catalogue, more representation of the progressive Jeff Beck and not a narrow focus on only the blues or straightforward rock side of things. Moreover, some of the renditions of JB/Yardbird classics in this tribute left something to be desired, alas.

[@xBlackout718x]

I’ve been watching a few different videos from these concerts and all around it seems like a big let down. Weak guitar playing, weak voices. Why didn’t they rehearse it do justice? This ain’t no concert for George quality here, that’s for sure. Even after he’s gone Jeff isn’t getting recognition or due he’s deserved.

[@Mike_D_5150]
