He was the very best Guitarist to ever grace a stage or studio....I saw Jeff Beck with Jan Hammer back in the late 70's...I was truly blown away.....He will be forever missed and remembered....🎸🔥💪👊🙏
JEF BECK IS A GIFTED ONE, THATS ALL, ACTUALLY HE IS THE MOST BRILLIANT GUITARIST THE OTHERS ARE ALSO INCREDIBLE, BUT THIS MAN CAME FROM ANOTHER WORLD,., AWESOME JEF,!
Definitely one of the greatest, but if you ever heard him make a statement then when he first saw Jimi Hendrix in London, he asked himself ' what am I going to do now '? I think that says it all about who was and still is the GOAT !
@@knightfall9394 That would be a rarity. Maybe for that tune, mood of day or finger wound. Those amp heads weren't typical on that tour either. The 2 times I seen him up close were without pick. His playing was more physical in this timeframe and was at a health peak condition. Guitar had a thick neck & lace sensors. He was always changing. One of my favorite eras.
@@cowabungaw9958 pretty sure for this song’s rhythms he stuck to a pick other wise its fingers or using his finger nail for a pseudo pick sound. I unfortunately didnt see him during this era but i guess i kind of recall seeing bootlegs and noticing his amps were a particular fender model and a marshall or just fenders. I like this era too but thats only because i like his instrumental work and cannot stand the jeff beck group or when he was a with a vocalist.
@@buflo73 Jeff Beck would probably agree. But no player on earth in this general era - the early perhaps/second gen if you will originator era truly compares to Jeff Beck. Nor many since. The only guitarists comparable in this vein imo in this time an era is Frank Zappa on a good day.
I don't think he will . It's weird but most people just don't understand that he was better than everyone else. They don't get it. He did it for 50 years and if the people didn't get it for 50 years they just won't get it. But every guitarist going forward will be in awe at his playing just like every guitarist has been for 50 years. LEGEND!
His true fans know and have him as the biggest face on Mt.Olympus of guitar players. I think that was good enough for Jeff. Lived his life as a normal person with other interests while knowing his fans adored him. It's 14 months and I'm still not the same. Part of my life's mission with what time I have left is to make sure Jeff's music and his contributions plus his unequaled virtuosity is on full display
@@MoonStone2626 YES - (Obviously)! That's why "Since he stopped using a pick" was mentioned, inferring that Beck was using a pick here. . . . . . . Again obvious! ( D u h‼️)
Every legendary rock guitar God are often imitated but never duplicated. Jeff Beck is NEVER IMITATED AND NEVER DUPLICATED! Rock guitarist with a jazz guitarists timing while playing the guitar like a banjo player plays banjo who integrates the whammy bar instead of seeing it as a gimmick. GREATEST ROCK GUITARIST OF ALL TIME! I really don't think it is close. I think it would be fair to say he is the Neil Peart of rock guitarists. That's a compliment to both men who are both gone. Glad I was somehow lucky enough to be a fan of both since the late seventies as a teenage kid who had absolutely no idea how great they both were but through dumb luck hit the lottery with both.
Jeff inspired me so much that i don’t know how to explain it it’s been 14 years i’m playing and knowing how to play the there and back album completely makes me feel like i could die and don’t give a fuck because i know i can play along this god
As legendary and epic as Jeff Beck is ( I refuse to say was), Terry Bozzio is also top of the mountain. These guys killed it . Knocked it out of the park.
I don't want to come across as a contrarion or more likely an asshole to a lot of people but as great as Hendrix was he did it on 3 studio albums, a couple of " live " albums over a 5 year stretch and people can imitate Hendrix. Beck did it for 50 years and can't be imitated, duplicated or matched. Beck is the GOAT of rock guitarists.
@jap42: back in the day (70s n early 80s) there used to be live music broadcast every Friday or Saturday night. 'Don Kirshner's Rock Concert', 'Midnight Special', 'In Concert'... Some were simulcast on fm radio: such as 'California Jam'. I watched 'Return to Forever' live simulcast on ((and cranked up loud) klos (Los Angeles). There were others, but these immediately came to mind when I read your comment. I watched a most awesome Stevie Ray Vaughn concert on public tv not long before he died tragically in the 80s. Just fyi, not trying to debate or argue. Peace!
My last post on this:: I love the Dixie Dregs/Dregs as much as I do Jeff n his music. Anyway, here's one example of very many w many good or great groups shown live on tv (obviously a vhs tape- but regardless...I'm grateful to have it. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t5D9DNBbcts.html&pp=ygUnZGl4aWUgZHJlZ3MgZG9uIGtpcnNobmVyJ3Mgcm9jayBjb25jZXJ0
@@chrisk973 you mentioned one concert on public TV that you watched SRV kill it . There are actually 2 " Austin City Limits " episodes where he and Double Trouble absolutely stomp on it. Fucking awesome! Loved Don Kirshner's show.
I remember watching this episode just days after seeing Jeff 🎸 Terry 🥁 and Tony 🎹 live. After that concert, I never looked at live music the same way ever again. RIP Jeff Beck 🙏🏻 Does anyone know where I can find the entire show for that night?
The thing about Jeff Beck is, that no matter which guitar solo he plays on any song, it sounds like the only way a guitar can be played. In other words, it’s the perfect guitar solo. WTF, we were hearing perfection and we didn’t know it. We know now. We definitely know now.
Out and Out BRUTALITY for 5 Minutes by this band. Incredible performance by all players. NO MISTAKES, and it was LIVE.WHO can do this Today????? Lizzo ? LOL!!!
I don't know Hymas's pedigree, but Jeff Beck was already a legepd by this point & Terry Bozzio had been Frank Zappa's drummer. Beyond being a guitar genius, JB had a talent for putting together bands of top-tier talent & leading them to insane heights of virtuosity. He was also a dream accompanist: Sir Rod commented, after JB's death, that JB _listened_ to his singers & responded to them -- check out his Going Down with Beth Hart at one of the Crossroads festivals.
Jeff Beck is on tour this summer-2018; get tickets if you can! Jeff is an avid American muscle car builder so that album cover of a guitar up on a car lift was the perfect combination of his career.
Thank you for the upload. It’s interesting to see how Jeff’s custom Stratos evolved. Year 1989 he already had 22 frets but not yet heelless neck joint.
I love this video!!! Kick ya in the teeth jammin!!! I like when Arsinio says "Man, Blow this sucka apart" at the end! Beck had such a great, unique sound and Terry Bozzio is hard hitting in this as well!!! He was awesome when he was with Frank Zappa.
Yeah. He was still a kid and what chops!!!! I saw him at a clinic in Houston years ago. You could tell that drumming was a philosophy to him--almost like a religion that he was TOTALLY dedicated to. Hence his level of playing.
Terry was so good back when he performed with Beck in 89. I always thought Missing Persons could have been more like RUSH. He was that good on Drums and his Wife has a great high pitched voice.
Whoa buddy let's not get crazy. Bozzio was good but Neil Peart was just way better than him and every other drummer who ever played. And Alex Lifeson, and Geddy Lee were both better than their counterparts in Missing Persons. And those three men did it for 45 years.
Okay- I've been seeing your comments all over the place: very opinionated and dogmatic. And as much as I love Peart's drumming (having listened to it over and over from 1975 to this day), you are wrong, full of caca, about Bozzio! That's what's wrong about being a self appointed arbiter of musical taste. You need to climb down from your high horse arrogance and just enjoy great music for being great music! I don't know if you're just an opinionated kid or what, but just chill, enjoy great music and musicians, and not appoint yourself to a position that you obviously do not belong in.
I had to come back to say this You need to go back and listen to "Missing Persons" then actually listen to "Rush" because "Missing Persons " weren't good enough to open for "RUSH ". As for Bozzio, he was OK but you haven't listened to Neal Peart at all if you have them even in the same ballpark.
@@user-xn3sz3pl9n I only sasid more like RUSH. You seem a little too excited about anyone being compared to Peart. Terry gave up his awesome jazz fusion rock jam for the pop style of Missing Persons. Actually my other favs are Billy Cobham in Mahavishna Orchestra, Bill Brudford, Cozy Powell, Ginger Baker, and Tommy Aldridge. But non of them could drum and write the most sophisticated worldly lyrics like Peart.
That was awesome guitar and drumming; and great to see.! Thank-you for recording and uploading. My little gripe is "what were they thinking in the mid-late 80s" with those awful plinky-plonky digital synth lines. They horrified me then and still do! lol. Sustained notes and analogue synths sound a million times better. Ah well apart from those little bits it rocked my socks off. :)
" little gripe"? Good enough for Jeff Beck to make an album with makes me think your " little gripe " is just horseshit. But second guess Jeff Beck all you want, but you will be alone doing it.
