Jeff Beck,Sleepwalk,Indigo2,Sept 21st

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

Dreamy slushy oozey gooey yum yum.

[091053JG]

Jeff can take any song - a great or just and average one - and make it even better.

[lilitaly100]

JImi? give me a break, Jimi was the master of distortion, thanks to Les Paul.

Beck is the master of guitar. check out the DVD "Jeff Beck Rock 'n Roll Party, honoring Les Paul, you won't be disappointed. Best version of Sleep Walk ever.

[justcorylee]

Great tone!

[papasbrandnewbag]

Jeff, as always tasty timing, phrasing, tone and feeling. Nuff said.....

[BeltwayGreg]

Check out Danny Gatton's version and check no more.  I think even Mr. Beck would agree that Gatton's version is head and shoulders above the rest.

[chakesici]

HAPA has the BEST VERSİON

[dmanc1]

Who else is digging those boots?

[ur1sab]

The best!

[bigjohnfl]

Good guitar player, and a snappy dresser, double threat guy..

[jazzbox1]

This another GOOD version. But there are quite a few Gree=at ones. Check out Larry Carlton's version

Jazzbox1

[Medicinecloud]

this is the "1"..its closest to the "original 'Sleepwalk'..other renditions..

[herrdruhl]

Apples and oranges, people...

[Bluelady4848]

I agree with Troymancer. Brian Setzer is much better and really underrated!

[troymancer]

very nice. but cmon. how can anyone say this is better than brian setzer?

[clap67]

@troymancer Brian Setzer is amazing.But Jeff Beck can do this and also Scatterbrain,and Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and everyhing in between..There's simply no match between the two..

[jarhead572]

@troymancer He is better 

[mikesimpsonmusic]

@troymancer this is better than setzers version......no worries : )

[CosmicXRay]

imo, it was first Jeff, then Jimi (RIP), and Jeff continues to go where no guitar has gone before

few people seem to know Jimi was so intimidated by Jeff that Jimi avoided meeting Jeff when he came to London

apparently, Jimi was a huge Yardbirds (Beck) fan

also, Jimi quotes from Jeff's "Rice Pudding" in a couple of his songs

point being, a lot of mutual respect

[dowsemeister]

@CosmicXRay what you say makes alot of sense. We don't hear this side of the story too much.

All the Brit guitarists were really getting their blues homework together around the time of Jimi's debut in London which as we all know, made them all go home and start over.

Jeff was different, always pushing limits, more daring and musical than any other guitarist at that time but I guess felt overwhelmed by Jimi's flamboyance and total mastery of the Strat.

Too bad

[gtrDan1963]

Nice...

[mrsky1962]

Brilliant.

[NewfieRican]

A very very fine fine tribute to a guitar classic by Jeff Beck.Gracias.

[redredroselass]

Eric Clapton--guitar god

[skodas]

in the Apache vid hes got a Bision echo unit

[Dubaiman123]

I have his signature guitar, great tremelo, clear till last fret, amazing...but only he makes it sound like this, I love to play it this tune, but he makes it sound like the original steel guitar...then this volume knob mastering...definately the best tone in the business..man when did he start..? A legend...

[raremountainbear]

Jeff Beck is absolutely amazing. 

[Aliestwill]

This seems more like a nod to the Hank Marvin version with a little extra thrown in. The comment about different interpretations is so right - all these guys - Beck, Setzer, Gatton, Chet, do their own thing and its all good.

[gfmgma]

what the hell is joe satriani doing right there? ->

[micaravidio]

magic fingers!

[renduke]

if a beautiful sunset had a sound it would be jeff beck......satriani does a great cover also but i still prefer Jeff........I can't believe Steve Vai doesn't play much slow stuff like this.............imagine if this guy didn't spend 50 hours a month building cars.....Jeff you're the bomb period

[reggy1011]

I think Jeff was not in his best mood when he played this song. it's boring ....

[killerkane2k]

there is almost nothing similar in the way these guys play (satriani, setezer, or beck) not their equipment, not anything (barely the music)... and they are all awesome!!!!!!!

[vidiman]

I just listened to seltzer, satriani and beck back to back to back.

I don't think it matters about which is better.

Interpreting a piece of music is a personal thing between the artist and the music, then between their performance/production and the listener. Since these folks all have great ability, I could find something interesting technically and artistically in each, especially comparing how they would treat specific passages or how each would begin the song.

[skrason]

Wow. Just wow.

[jag555y]

The control over his guitar fading in and out on the tone and volume is absolutely astonishing...sheer brilliance

[renduke]

@jag555y peaching to the choir Jeff has such feel and beauty in his tone......his nuances are just absurd

[missionrd100]

He is just so inspiring!

[jaspervincent]

actually, first there was jeff and then there was jimi but nevermind....

[scandalinbohemia]

Jeff is just the best. Nobody else has his touch...

[nyg1954]

santo and johnny used a pedal steel.becko does all the bending with his fingers.

[GR8XKP]

Listen to Danny Gatton do this song...

[wigle666]

@GR8XKP

I know,.. Gatton and Buchannon are out of this world

[citypopmakespussy]

Boring!!!!!!!!!

[eeeewd33]

great but still you got to pay homge to santo and johnny there version is amazing and without them you wouldnt have this cause santo and johnny created this song

[konshess]

I am a huge setzer fan..this one beats him!

[konshess]

the real deal...sooo few can play guitar but soo many think they can..this person..CAN

[rezeski]

Wow...

[TheDouglascates]

Decent version but... Brian Setzer did it much better, and won a Grammy for it.

[juscurious]

@TheDouglascates Rubbish. Both versions are great. But there's no way Setzer's version is much better. And I say that as a big Setzer Fan.

[dicetoggleswitch]

his dynamics is just haunting me. and most of all, his white scarf, white boots and white strat over his black tight leather suit. rock n roll is indeed about coolness.

[acupunk74]

...and without a slide. Beautiful!

[organic79]

i would add eric clapton..,.........both of them are legends....however i <3 jeff beck

[Name4Utube100]

Seriously, I like" kenny simeone (cover) sleepwalk " better. I've listened to many of the covers, and he's the best so far.

[jztube26]

with all due respect, David Gilmour is the one and only King!

[frankfear]

Danny Gatton does a very fine version as well!

[Maguirearch]

Satriani Covered this on "Strange Beutiful Music" released I think in 2001 ......Quite similar to Becks version.....but with more of Satrianis hammer on pull off shreding.....

[jmsbk12345]

You are now witnessing the greatest electric guitarist on planet Earth. First there was Jimi and now there is Jeff.

[091053JG]

@jmsbk12345

I completely agree. Jeff Beck is the greatest living lead guitarist and arguably maybe the greatest of all time.

[091053JG]

@jmsbk12345

I totally agree. There is nothing that Beck cannot do with a guitar in his hand.

[stutty1400]

@jmsbk12345 Jeff was Jimi's hero at the time

[TheMusicDude1997]

@jmsbk12345 both with white strats

[TheWoelfer]

@jmsbk12345 before jimi, there was jeff

[greenlion22]

@jmsbk12345 actually jeff was around way before Jimi. Sorry bud

[thechaircover]

@jmsbk12345 15 people are as stupid as you...Jeff Beck was in before Jimi...

[luit13]

@jmsbk12345 Jeff was there before Jimi!

[jeproxwild]

better than Joe sat. promise!

[blackdog1967]

nice boots

[Vikkers122]

We have listened to All the Sleep Walk tunes and Jeff Beck does it the Best.

[juscurious]

@Vikkers122 The original was great as well. But if I recall there were two guitars. It was also a studio version which is different than doing it live. Jeff Beck's version is the best live version I heard. It's something about the way he stretches notes and seem to pull the sound. Incredibly beautiful work.

[Manolian]

Superior to LC's version years ago.

[Dictum1]

If Carlsberg ran working men's clubs like that, he'd probably be the best karaoke guitarist in the world.

Best wishes for the new year, Jeff.

[rockbeckpage]

only Jeff Beck can do this sound!!!

[carlolf]

@rockbeckpage

are you that sure? remember, it's only a cover version, and many other players also liked this weird tune and made a reference

[289jose]

@rockbeckpage and joe satriani!

[bloodymonster23]

@289jose and theyre guitars!!

[papercrescentmoon]

so nice.

[chillipepper2005]

Wow! he play Sleepwalk!!!!! tks for posting!

[ShelterDogs]

I love Jeff Beck's instrumentals. You should see what he did to The Beatles' "A Day In The Life."
