Jeff Beck also loved to let his bandmates shine an seemed to enjoy them at least as much as playing.

[@danburnes722]

Wonderful!

Johnny McLaughlin, Electric Guitarist. Indeed.

[@stuartmenziesfarrant]

He is a stranger to melody.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Really nice to see one of the greatest ever let Jeff Beck's band shine. Thank you, John.

[@nichotime]

Drums!!! Beautiful phrasing.

[@evankeal]

Yes! And that pocket too.

[@artdecco8617]

SO True........so fluid and on a higher level of drumming!

[@abbrakadabra7943]

What a talent. I remember listening to Birds of Fire when i was at school in the early 70's. Awesome player.

[@keithdunwoody1302]

The man who inspired Jeff's pivot to fusion rock. Incredible! I miss Jeff like a MOFO! Good to see his sidekick Rhonda killin' it.

[@paulbgraham4936]

He's been one of my favorite guitarists since I first heard The Inner Mounting Flame in 1971 when I was a sophomore in high school. That l lead me to see the Mahavishnu Orchestra in early 1973. Haven't been the same since!

[@steveruss3654]

81 Just wow...

[@johannamit4388]

John is just one of a kind, a guitar legend. The ladies on Bass and Drums, WOW.

[@peterfrestadius7694]

WoW this was the best performance of the night………Good Bless Jeff Beck……and thank you John McLaughlin with bass guitar + drummer so nice to see more women rock musicians and I believe that has a lot to do with Prince that always brought girls forward……so Good Bless Prince 🇸🇪😇❤️‍🔥🫵👋

John With Jeff's Band.Killer

[@MrDallman]

The guitarist’s guitarist….the main man IMHO….right up there with Jeff, Mike Bloomfield and Jimi.

[@franciscohowatrodrigues6019]

Amazing Tribute.

[@seabud6408]

John is in touch with the spirit of music in the same way as Jeff. Different expression/same depth.

[@nealf.6061]

Killer playing by Annika N.!

[@christopherweise438]

I remember when she was an up and coming KZbinr....... Now look at her. So proud of her and her success.

what an honor to meet him,,as we left about the same time leonardo art pr its was honored to meet him,,

[@edljnehan2811]

There's no one better than Jeff Beck. Having someone like John McLaughlin pay a tribute to you is the proof in the pudding😊

[@JeffC-fq1be]

Except John...

[@edljnehan2811]

@@JeffC-fq1be I don't think so. John McLaughlin is great no doubt but next to the great Mr Beck I would have to put Jan akkerman of focus followed by Al Di Meola Steve Howe Allan Holdsworth Robert Fripp Ritchie Blackmore Tony Iommi John McLaughlin Martin Pugh. Now how's that for a list haha

[@JeffC-fq1be]

@@edljnehan2811 There are people who put Eric Clapton first. Not me. I'll take McLaughlin all day long. I don't know of anyone who can play Indian, Eastern, acoustic, classical, swing, rock, jazz, fusion, flamenco, AND whatever else I missed at such a high level. No one.

[@edljnehan2811]

@@JeffC-fq1be first off Eric Clapton sucks and like Phil Collins decided to be a popstar so right off the bat I have no use for him. You need to listen to more of Jan akkerman from Focus. He can play everything you described and better that's why I have him second to the great Jeff Beck. I've said my entire life there is nobody better than Jeff Beck but now that he's deceased the crown goes to Jan akkerman. Don't get me wrong I know the Majesty of John McLaughlin and he has a hardcore following ever since I was in high school back in the early seventies however there are a few better if you'll just recheck my list you'll find them. That's why I made that list for you and others education. However I made one mistake I left out Paisan Joe Satriani who I would probably put after Jan akkerman moving everyone on the list down one spot. Thank you peace and out

[@JeffC-fq1be]

@@edljnehan2811 Thanks!

[@gregparrott]

Nice to include Rhonda Smith in this set, the bass player who played with Jeff Beck for at least 16 years, starting in 1996 interrupted in 2010, and in several years following. That includes his last performances in 2022

[@DirkRadloff]

Old, but still on fire!

[@helenarusso]

Hello Dirk how are you doing today 😊

[@gh4121-b5n]

John was way out before Jeff was in the Yardbirds. A one of a kind player.

[@davidbutler8850]

Another classic hero🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@TM-jo4wz]

John with his group changed music. Changed Jeff Changed The Dixie Dreggs. Birds of fire was a game changer. After that a lot of musicians changed up. Billy Cobbham is a badda- drummer.

[@CliffordNovey]

Shit that drummer was relaxed and in it- Billy and Narada MW would be smiling I'm sure- bravo.

[@thomaso6763]

I guess Beck was his favorite guitarist. He's playing this in a beck kind of style(mahavishnu orchestra 1971)

[@cosimomazzotta]

Legends.

[@peterguglietta5260]

Wish they had Vinnie Colaiuta on drums for this concert. He was the best drummer to play with Jeff, and I think it would have been a great addition to this all-star line-up.

[@ppmppm7010]

Billy Cobham wasn't too shabby either ✌️

[@cubstransplant1361]

Dont forget Terry Bozio too.

[@cubstransplant1361]

Just remembered Narada Michael Walden. JB had great musicians with him.

[@bertbecker7532]

Has there been a less than stellar drummer that worked with Jeff lol?

[@christianlacheze3323]

I think this lady is definitely up to it

[@Avatar7x7]

That drummer ….! Who was that ? She CAN GIT IT !!!…. The Bass player too …

[@HopeYourHavingFun]

John the only one in same league as Jeff.

[@carstenmanz302]

There are a lot of top guitarists who are a lot better - all a matter of personal taste ;-)

[@kwittnebel]

I suppose that's true, but John has probably played deeper stuff during his career than most of them. The back catalogue is mind bending.

[@ppmppm7010]

How old was he on Bitches Brew 1969 unbelievable ✌️

[@cubstransplant1361]

​@@carstenmanz302 not sure about the "a lot" better comment but everyone has their favorites

Agree. A notorious absence!

He´s going to Miami:-)

Whats with the bass & drum solos? My goodness it’s John McLaughlin!

[@steech193]

Like Jeff Beck was, John McLoughlin is a very gracious guitarist and band leader and realizes that it’s not only about him.

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

That's right, best can play with anyone, also what I love about Steve Winwood

[@philipquirk3763]

Jeff Beck played it with a bass solo & drum solo, and it was his bassist & drummer. I thought they were excellent.

Is the bass player Tal Wilkenfeld?

It’s Rhonda Smith.

@@raa0425 thank you sir. I didn't recognize her and I've never heard of her so naturally I assumed it was Tal Wilkenfeld who I believe is a lot better.
