Jeff Beck - Tokyo Full Concert (1999) 

I don't cry when famous people die. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes for months after Jeff Beck passed away. What a great artist in every possible way.

Do you ever get tired listening to the Maestro ? No, I don't. Thank you so much for accompanying my life with you virtuosity and brilliance. RIP Jeff.

A man who found notes on a guitar that nobody else could find one of the most extraordinary guitars ever. RIP JEFF😪🎸✌️

Holy shit. What a band! There are guitar gods and then there's Jeff Beck! Those sounds, no pedal board in sight. His musical choices and sonics are phenomenal. Knocking down and carrying a solid fusion, rock, blues set for 90 min. is insane; what can this guy not do. We are all blessed to have experienced his artistry. I can't help but just love him.

jeff happens to you when you are ready for it. i had trouble digesting him for two decades. now i can't listen to anyone else. if you are an electric guitar player, you will find that with practice and commitment, you will ultimately come sit at his feet. it's about expression. i cry when i listen to him, no other (guitar) player does that to me. you have to develop the emotional SPACE within yourself to let him in. i totally understand what you are saying, and you are not alone.

IT IS NOT OFTEN THAT THE DRUMS (STEVE ALEXANDER) and BASS (RANDY HOPE DAVIES) and SECOND GUITAR ( JENNIFER BATTEN)can show what they can do, together with JEFF BECK WHO SHOWS HIS RESPECT FOR ALL OF THEM. THIS IS WHAT JEFF DID TIME AND AGAIN. There is so much of this concert that I love. It has Science Fiction feel, and MAGIC or "out of this world" FEEL to it, Blue Wind. I think I like this concert so much that IT IS THERE RIGHT AT THE TOP.! There is humour as well! Love to you all and I adore you all!!! We did not know this at school where we met Jeff aged 14, who came in half way through the year, when we were most aged 13, at Sutton East School, in Surrey. He once came in with a load of wires and bits of wood, and went straight to the storeroom just after lunch, and he sat on the floor. He was a new comer, and we all watched what he was going to do. The boys who knew him best and were the only ones who spoke to him passed down the message to the rest of the class, that Jeff was trying to making a guitar. I though to myself, with that lot, he will have a big problem, but somehow some blues notes came out of that store cupboard. To this day I do not know how that happened! When I left school I would sometimes see him in the distance near the Cinema and bus stop. I am sure that the class all did what I did- we watched the news to see if his name would pop up. Of course it did as he became a member of the Yardbirds. However he did go on and become world famous. He stayed true to himself. His mother was a trained pianist and his father &/or uncle played jazz. I understood, because my mother was also a trained concert pianist and also a Jazz pianist who played professionally. I watched out for news of Jeff and gradually he appeared more and more, eventually showing himself in the Yardbirds, and then going on to do wonderful things with Beck Bogart and Appice. He was always going to be different. I have been catching up on RU-vid, to whom I am very grateful. This music is what Jeff Beck is about;- at this time a youthful 64 years of age; a wonderful and fantastic guitar player, arranger and composer with touches of modern music and invention all of his own, and helped with fellow players of fantastic standard, like Jennifer Batten: Steve Alexander and Randy Hope Davies. The UK missed out on a lot. THANKYOU JEFF BECK AND CO!!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen

I've been listening to Jeff beck for 40 years I think this is his best Thank you Jeff Beck

Jeff and the whole band are freaking monsters!!People that play in a whole different level!!This concert in Japan is a masterpiece!!

I think Jeff preference to playing the strat is what makes him a wizard as he makes that guitar cry, weep, scream like no other player to date . Amazing

Oh Jeff Beck! I am so proud of what you have achieved! This is the best I have heard from you and such a very large range!! Such serious music! You reached up so far into heavenly sounds, with music, different from any other; and have touched space and the stars! Your parents must be so very proud. I wonder if they can hear you in heaven? This concert is so packed full and you have such wonderful players with you such as Jennifer Batten, and many more. Wonderful drummer!!!! Thank you Jeff. You really got there, and then some!! A very great player indeed! Cynthia Allen -McLaglen

This show has been in prime rotation for me for 24 years (and of course JB Live with the JHG). A constellation of absolutely killer line-ups in his career....but this one could be an apex. One thing for certain Jeff is at the absolute top of his game here and makes a great GOAT case....farewell Dear Jeff and thank you so much!

the beginning of his return to being the most creative electric guitarist on the planet, so much fluidity and technique all in one auto mechanics fingers, what a treasure for all of us who in our souls love music, thanks jeff

The amazing Jeff Beck. He can do anything - even make a Beatles song sound good!

Jeff Beck still no.1 guitarist of all time.

Rest in peace. The world is a lesser place today due to Jeff's passing.

Jeff Beck is regarded by many as the ultimate guitarist; this concert is one of the many reasons why: indescribable.

There's a load of players out there that are brilliant-great riffs, space age, impressive beyond belief and admiration to all of them. In amongst a truckload of hotshots and supersonic merchants, you always will know where Jeff is by his sound and at most times what he plays is very interesting musically. He is one guitarist that when I see live I am always waiting to hear what he's gonna do next. Be is simple or complicated it always has that Beck identity.

An hour and a half of nothing but extraordinaire, nothing but guitar work, who else could do this…no one!!! At this time after 4 decades…WOW!!!

Един от най-великите китаристи! The Best!!

Likely the best electric guitar player ever. He seemed to be able to make his guitar talk. Even Clapton acknowledged his brilliance as guitarist by saying 'there are great guitar players,,,then there's Jeff Beck. '

You just couldn’t categorize the God given genius of Jeff Beck. He was and is in a class of guitarist and musician by himself because he IS that category....alone. And Jeff always surrounded himself with world class musicians who could help him realize the intangible....music. This is a case where mere words fail to describe musical talent, heart and soul. Rest In Peace Jeff Beck. Your playing taught us to be better listeners.🕊🎸

Jeff is not only a Guitarist , he is an Artist - some people would say - "oh he is up there on stage just jammin' "- it is a lot more than that - The grace - feeling - style - sounds he produces and love of what he does just pours out with every note.I started playing at 12 - I'm 61 now - Jeff is just one of about 15 guitarist i even care to listen to - otherwise I'm playing my guitars.

ahhh... the brilliant Jennifer Batten - saw this tour in San Diego - near the front row. She holds her own very well, especially considering she's on stage with one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. Bravo

Jennifer Batten does not get enough credit for her virtuosity! To be able to hang with and perfectly complement Jeff Beck is something very very few guitarists could pull off, and she did it brilliantly!

Thank you all for comments. I allways thought that all of Jeff's music have something extraordinary but his industrial alike work on albums from '99, '01 and '03 puts him in his own league where unfortunately no one can even try to compare with his greatness. And what is maybe most important, he is able to play it all live without compromising his traditional style at all. Exceptional, rare and wonderfull. Enjoy it.

Brush with the blues just great. Jeff in a great mood this evening. He gets everything out of his guitar ... Another level, another cosmos. Thank you, Jeff, for so much trouble !!!

I've seen my hero and friend live 56 times!! There is simply no one better on guitar then Jeff Beck!!

It took me a long time to appreciate Jeff Beck's techno stuff. I can't believe how well this band pulls it off live.

A few musicians can make a guitar sing but Jeff could make it cry. Thanks for this!

Now, I can say that he is a guitar's” God”.　Every sound he makes I love just so natural. It's hard to believe that that miraculous live in Tokyo 1999. I lost any word. Thanks a lot for sharing this moment on RU-vid!

World best? Probably!. Totally the maestro in this guitar form. So much to learn still from this man. RESPECT !

The artistic level of this guy is superb. One of the 🐐s

Seven years on and check out what the man is doing now. Still the greatest, in his 70’s and killing it. Breathtaking, every time. Viva Jeff Beck!

JEFF BECK IS THE MAN! DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENTLY!

4 top musicians on stage and Jeff is the charismatic leader... he knows how to use the whammy bar of his stratocaster! Inspiring!

You notice from the start that when Jeff comes in on the first song it immediately goes from machine to soul within a millisecond.

I could listen for days to Jeff Beck ... I wouldn’t know any other guitar player who could connect me that way ... if I think how many different versions he played „a day in a life“, each version I know is just ... fantastic

I have played guitar for 50 years and he still amazes me.You never know what he's going to pull out his hat.F....... right.

I'm a telecaster player myself, and when he got that out I just about died, thank you Jeff !

Cause we've ended as lovers,best love song ever. Played by the best guitarist ever!!

I've always focused on Clapton mostly, but this concert from Mr. Beck: WOW!

Jeff Beck comes from a era of great music and has progressed all along to today which in itself says it all of his unique talent / musician . My hats off to him and always will be ,he's one of a kind so enjoy him as much as possible while we still get to see him play!

If I could only have one guitarist to listen to It would be Jeff. He truly is in a league all his own. My favorite guitarist by a mile.

Amazing Jeff! Blameless masterpiece of brilliant guitarist.

Completely in a class by himself. Nobody like Jeff Beck. Electric guitar originality simply off the charts. My God!!!

Jeff Beck ....living legend more power to you bro....peace.... silent prayer

Jeff Beck is one crazy SOB, saw one of his concerts long go and loved every min. While all the others seem to fade away Beck keeps on going. And seems to get better and better. I wish I could play the Guitar half as good as he can and I'd be happy with that.

It's hard to say which incarnation of Jeff Beck's evolution as a musician was his best, but this one is pretty damn good. Rock In Peace -

Sarà la storia a regalarci il prossimo chitarrista che possa eguagliare per talento e tecnica uno come J.B.. Quello che immagino, è il godimento di Dio nell'ascoltare lui, Jimi, SRV, BB King e molti altri suonare davanti a sè, seduto comodamente sul suo divano. Immenso....

I love Jeff he is my favorite guitarist and the man can wield a guitar and take it to places you never been before. I had some amazing experiences while listening to him.

There are many, many great guitar gods out there. All brilliant musician. But for me it is Jeff Beck who, kind of sticks out and I have no words to start to describe why this is. He always seems to come from a different corner to surprise you with his intuition for the right note.

You know, Jeff's rendition of " A Day In The Life" is pretty frickin cool!! There aren't too many legends left, these days folks!!! You had better recognize that!!! Cherish them , while you can, cause - your time may come up soon!!!

i love his guitar work saw him twice in Detroit at Cobo hall and once with Stevie Ray Vaughan backing him up awesome

Lucky to see him live in concert twice in my life, he is the greatest ever, move over Clapton, Hendricks etc etc, he plays guitar like a world renowned violinist plays Beethoven or Brahms; he is a true virtuouso

This man never gets any mention, when it comes to guitar greats. he is the best

What can you say about Jeff Beck? Im sitting freezed with jaw dropped down and watching a 55 year old dude(in the video, today 70years old), who can make that strat squil even better than in his 20s. Dear God please take good care of Jeff, he is one of the few living guitar gods we have left

Hard to believe he was 55 years old at this time. He seems to never change

I've always been a fan of Jeff Beck and this concert rocks. Everyone else in the band is also awesome. The drummer freaking rocks, as well as everyone else. Thanks for uploading this concert

I saw Jeff on this tour and at first we were all saying "Who is that woman playing with him?". After a minute we realized it was Jennifer Batten! If you look at all the other players that came out of the 60's that are still playing Jeff Beck stands alone if only for his uncompromising standards and top-notch musicianmanship. His take on the blues remains fresh, inventive and vital.

Steve Alexander - drums AND KEYS, Please Rest those Fingers of yours Mr. Jeff Beck, love always!

every time he picks up his guitar, he redefines a genre. Godspeed, Mr. Man......

Oh man, this guy! RIP to the genius/innovator guitar God Jeff Beck. A tremendous loss to the entire guitar community which held him in the utmost reverence. His playing was completely unpredictable. His style, one of one. Enjoy your retirement on Mt Rushmore.🙎🎸

Jeff Beck was a true Sonic GOD

Pure music, Pure tonality, Pure Soul, Pure Beck!!! Thank you Mr. Beck...Much respect!!!

Beck gets more sounds out of the guitar with just his hands than any other player, and if that wasn't bad enough, he has the creative musical imagination to use those sounds in a musical way. The only other people in hailing distance of him are Satriani and Vai. Other people, Paul Gilbert for example, are great at other things, but Beck is in a class by himself as a pure expressive player.

I NEVER get tired or bored listening to "The Master of Touch & Tone"! Jeff Beck always looked to improve on his technique and avenues of creativity. Just a thoroughly magnificent musician. So unique! RIP Jeff Beck!! Thank you for your dedication to innovation!

Killer Band he had for this Concert series...... Beck is brilliant

Youve got my support there mate. I have been a fan of his since he stared with the Yardbirds. And he gets better by the minute. His heart & sole come out in the fingers. Both left and right hand!

There will always be only one Jeff Beck. No one can replace him.

Jeff is a gear head, he loves hotrod cars. And man, oh man, does that come through in his playing.

Fantastic show! Beck flies around the sky on his own cloud smiling and winking to us mere mortals.

Jeff Beck does not play the guitar, I agree. He gives that instrument its own life. And it lives and outlives you in these songs at least 50 times, my friend.

STEVE ALEXANDER on drums!!!Fantastic!!!

Almost twenty years ago and I'm still to hear this legend live. How he plays with his thumb is amazing.

How far he's come since the Yarbirds and "Truth." But always brilliant. Always original. Always unique. Forever in a league by himself.

Not to many players could complement Beck's playing as well as Jennifer Batten does here

I beenlistening to jeff since i was fourteen im now seventy one❤❤❤

Wow fantastique performance de scène merci j'adore Jeff Beck

You can listen to this all day long and it doesn't get bored like Steve Vai and Malmsteen( I love his early stuff).

God this is awesome. Every second.

Both of them are amazing, and GOD-like together!

Beck is just off the charts! The greatest of the Guitar Gods including Page, Clapton, and Hendrix, much as I love them all.

very happy to have found this ... the rest of the house loves it now as well! Thank you x

This is the best recording of this incarnation that I've heard. I can really hear what Jeff's doing as well as Jennifer.

Was my First Tour. R.i.p Jeff

Brush with the Blues was psychedelic! Amazing! Look at all the love the crowds give him too!!

Jeff Beck - изумительный гитарист, вся его команда - просто блеск !! Покойся с миром, великий Jeff Beck... (!)

this is so fantastic....there is nothing better than that, believe me.... happy to have found this concert here...I admire this guy and the woman llllll all are wonderful musicians.....

I've seen every group Beck was in since The Yardbirds,and i must say this might very well have been his best.I remember seeing him at the Hammersmith Odeon in London with Simon Phillips and Hymas on the keys and thinking he's never going top this band.I saw him with Terry Bozzio and thought OMG,and i've seem him with Jan Hammer,with Tal And Vinny Coliuta and different settings such as his rockabilly and Les Paul dabblings.But this band was absolutely magical,him and Jennifer had a chemistry that was incredible and this rythym section was rock solid.This concert shows what this man is all about, a sheer musical genius,he does not just play the guitar,he is THE GUITAR!!!

pure invention, creative genius.....threw away my plectrum and started using my pinkies after hearing Jeff. Long live JB.

Its amazing all the different sounds and effects Beck coaxes from whatever guitar he plays. Truly one of the greatest in electric guitardom...

extremely original, he doesn't settle for the classic blues rock phrasing and turnarounds..

Been listening to Beck for 52 years and only keeps getting better and redefining himself which is one thing when your forty, but sixty, seventy? I can't think of another musician who's been able to do that.

THE BEST

RIP Jeff. I saw this tour in Baltimore. Thanks for the incredible playing and inspiration.

The Absolute Master. Rest in peace, Jeff Beck.

ILooking back I think this is one of the best bands he ever had.He always has great players but it's the ones that seem to push him to play great.I saw this incarnation twice.Jennifer Batten was amazing covering all the keyboards and second guitar.I do remember the crowd went crazy for this stuff.

Have seen him play at least 4 times .Going as far back as The Rough and Ready days .Always an ass kicking show . Cereainly a tough comparison to most players . Just too damn good .

Hey Im an abstract artist and Beck makes me dream. He just takes me away. SO much depth and feeling. I saw him in NY a few years ago- I could not stop visualizing abstract shapes!
