that's some fine guitar work but man, Roger Waters cannot sing. Might as well have autotuned that whole thing.

Fuck. I mean 78 is not young, but he was still just killing it right up to the end, and to go out with fucking bacterial meningitis?

One of my all-time faves.

Another Jeff Beck guest guitar tune:




Thought Beck also did the guitar work on a Bowie 80's album, but that was another deceased guitar god.

Kay Lenz is the model in the video. Fair warning, do not google her. The video is about the best she ever looked.

What was the 80's fascination with cheesy horns in songs. Maybe a bit of sax to add some color to the tune, but full horn section on a rock song ruins otherwise decent songs. Although Wilco did it alright on a song or two, iirc. Maybe it was 80's horns bleating like sheep on methamphetamine in the background that ruins it.

Live at Ronnie Scott's with Tal Wilkenfeld, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Jason Rebello...great show.

One of the all timers Mike. Thought he’d be right in your wheelhouse for fandom, you were the right age to be for sure.

Jazzy Jeff and that drummer's fucking phenomenal.

The field was crowded in his generation. Just didn’t do it for me.

The absolute favorite guitarist of many rock stars. I know who he is, I know what he looks like, but much of his greatness was before my time. Mostly instrumental and jazz-ish stuff which I can enjoy and appreciate, but I'm just more of a song guy. He did the Mick Jagger "Primitive Cool" album and the work on Throwaway was fantastic, but Terry Bosio's drumming kind of overshadowed Beck.

I'll have to dig into some of us stuff, but I really need to psych myself up for guitar hero / instrumental type stuff.
RIP....he's definitely a guitar legend.

Terry Bosio really underrated drummer. Just thought he was the mook from Missing Persons but wow , so much more .

I'm with you.

I mean, I understand what a great and important player he was, but he rarely hit me emotionally. Here's an exception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC_j_dzkaVE

I get that Zeppelin was just a ripoff of the Jeff Beck Group, but they just did it so much better.

Some of that stuff with Johnny Depp that just came out is kind of interesting.

Keith Richards wins again. Guy is on a heater over decades and across 2 centuries.

Bozzio also played with Zappa prior to MP.

The shit with Zappa was insane, and what he's been doing with the solo drumming thing for the past couple decades is sublime...

We were talking about that at rehearsal tonight, how does Richards and even Clapton outlive these guys?

A Stevie Wonder song

He was good in Spinal Tap.

I figured the hair there was an homage.

A lot of the good Yardbirds tunes feature Beck, including one that has a nexus with the Score: "Over Under Sideways Down." Also, "People Get Ready" is one of my guilty pleasures.

Rick Beato on why he thinks Jeff Beck is uncopyable… https://youtu.be/nV9bnaqqfq8

Jimmy Page wrote: “The six-stringed warrior is no longer here for us to admire the spell he could weave around our mortal emotions. Jeff could channel music from the ethereal. His technique unique. His imaginations apparently limitless. Jeff I will miss you along with your millions of fans.”

For Your Love was played on a 12 string by Beck. Great drums in that song.
