  • Is it just me...or does Jeff sound a bit weak on this?

    Sounds like his heart isn't really in it.

    This just hasn't got his usual pumping spot-on drive...

    Perhaps he had piles that day?

  • Just can't get the thundering original with Jan Hammer's incredible keyboards and (was it?) Cobham on drums - think the riff is more suited for them than Vinnie - line up not strong enough here....

  • OMFG! There are no words!

  • @MrPhotodoc best music was written with no stupid vocals

  • this is where the legend of the 60's rocketed away from the masters of the 60's such as clapton and others--they stagnated--but beck just entered new realms of playing existance.

  • sounds like it should be on street fighter or something

  • @Abz90L haha it does

  • this looks like quite an intimate affair...audience-wise. Tal is something else, a real discovery..Jeff just gets more Jeffer.Love it, them, the all

  • Looks like Vinnie C. on the drums

  • @benthemiester : yep it's him

  • saw him play when he toured with s.r. vaughan. that's when i realized how over-rated vaughan was...vaughan was good but his arsenal was the same 15 blues runs over and friggin' over, again. beck unleashed ALL his licks and there were many; and not just the penatonic blues scale.

  • How this guy got to get a doctorate from Sussex Uni beats me. This highly over-rated guitarist can't even play his 'wide toned - full frequency' response - basswood' stratocaster in tune. By the way - I used to go to school with him in Kent back in the early sixties. By the by, Kent is a county in England for my American readers. Thought I'd just mention that. Wish I hadn't now. We loved tinkering together beat up old cars . Hey ho - those were the days - but wait - ugh ugh

  • @buckley54, your lame

  • @buckley54 that would make you a brilliant guitarist then? you sound like you have issues pal, go see someone before it drives you more crazy.

  • @buckley54 He is not overrated... Eric Clapton is overrated, Jeff Beck wants this sound,

  • Lots of good energy. Thanks for making it fun, Jeff! cool sounds, man.

  • is the bass player his daugter?

  • @fIRsTRATmAN

    No, that's Tal Wilkenfeld

  • just picked up my tickets tonight to see jeff in october..so many great shows comming this year..but how can you pass on jeff beck?

  • Phenomenal

  • Seeing Jeff Beck in Oslo today :]

  • かっこいい♪

  • nice.

    anyway, does anybody know whos the bassist? :)

  • @6rosebudX  her name is tal wilkenfeld.

  • Jimmy Page plays air guitar listening to Beck. Don't hold your breath for the other way around.

  • Beck is simply the best guitarist of the wwoorrlldd.

  • Fucking douchebag attention whores. Beck is and always will be a master of rock/fusion guitar. Hell, he invented the really good kind of fusion! Haters be damned and we know your game. Just trying to stir up shit, aincha?

  • HONKY! THE! ROCK DUMMY!!!!!!! JEFF"OH" HECK!!! JAZZMUSIC!!! I! THINK NOT! TE RRIBLE!!!

  • I just saw him live on his tour. Louisville, KY!

  • i feel like im watching a goose being killed in the morning after breakfast television.!

  • i can see how some people would not like jeff beck's playing ... it's a personal taste thing ... i'm a guitar player and i happen to love it ... everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and fair enough ... but never say he isn't a great guitar player ... ask any of the great guitar players and they'll all tell you that jeff beck is a master ... here endeth the lesson ...

  • @therealcraigbaxter While that may be true......I think we can safely assume that anyone who doesn't like Jeff Beck's guitar playing is either A) a moron, or B) a total bloody moron.

  • @freejrs that's a bit harsh ... nobody, and especially jeff beck, is going to please everybody ... personally, i don't demand that everyone like the same music i do ... and i don't call those who don't morons ...

  • jeff becks playing is so annoying. hes so over rated! he sux!

  • @JackDawsonRMS well fuck off then.Problem solved.

  • @themanfromutopia1 Haha. Great answer.

  • I wish I could've lived in a day when the only JB was a scorching jazz musician

  • thumbs up if you think jeff is or hopes to be bangin the hot young bass player!

  • @orlandofriend what the hell's wrong with you she's like 13

  • @camcoyote521 No she's not. It's Tal Wilkenfeld and this set is from 2007 - she was 21 here.

  • Hmmm...as I think back 'Wired' might be the name of the album featuring Jan Hammer. L.D. if you see this it was your record. I live in Windsor, CT now. I'm listed so call if you can...

  • I was listening to a Jeff Beck album around '73 or '74 while eating my dinner. The songs were mindless diplays of speedy scales with no feeling or direction at all. Got me so wound up and pissed off I pushed away from the table grabbed the record and flung across the room. Hit the wall shattered into a million pieces. I felt much better until the wife reminded me it wasn't my record. A friend gave it to me for a listen. Shit!! I had to buy my a brand new album for him (which is only fair)

  • hot chick plays base ..haha

  • fine music. makes me think of the great mahavishnu orchestra at its best

  • well spoken maestro!

  • we need a betcha cant play this with jeff beck. that would be epic

  • how does he do the flutter effect with the strat tremolo at 0:39 ???

  • @todd0000420 He's pulling the string STRAIGHT OUT with either his thumb and index finger OR he does it with just his thumb if he's pulling the tremelo ........RENT this (or buy it) and WATCH HIS HANDS while he plays.....this is the best views / shots of some of his techniques.....

  • @todd0000420 - whammy set up in a 'floating' style. IOW, it can be pulled back about a half inch, you'll get a semi-tone to tone of pitch UP out of the 6th, 5th and 4th strings. Once you setup your whammy up in this manner, pull it up, ( aka 'Back') hold it, while pressing a note, and let it go. The act of it whipping down fast while in a floating position causes the 'purr' sound. Now, do this with one finger, as if you're flicking the whammy up, or down. There's that sound.

  • love jeff beck but wot i woulnt give to be a bass guitar just for the length of this clip

  • According to the ratings on this video 18 peoples are as about as smart as a box of doorknobs. Oh what a society it is that we live in. I guess Jerry Springer wins. NOT !!!

  • The thing about Beck is he wants more out of the guitar than the guitar is willing to give....but he just takes it anyway. superb player, very original and quite inspiring.

  • @zigzagbigbag True.

  • tal wilkenfled is the tits

  • Fuckin stoopid ad....a jap on a rice-burner with a Harley sound??? WTF?

  • ok seriously who's the bass girl, she's cute

  • @wsiklogfh Tal Winkelfeld

  • awesome performance

  • (GO Click)>jun fukamachi KEEP

  • Please don't burn me alive for saying this, but... as much as I love and respect Vinnie's drumming, his playing is often too busy for JB's music. I'd rather listen to stuff he did with Simon Phillips, Michael Walden or Richard Bailey, for example. More "groove-conscious" players.

  • @Stonepeaks

    I think so too. Sometimes it´s a "touch to much".

  • @Fliegerfabi91 don't ya think JB would be the best judge of that - over the top of what....JB?

  • tal is a little hottie

  • I've listened to this dvd many times, and it keeps getting better with each listen. Do yourself a favor, turn off the video and listen to the entire band. Unbelievably tight. The keyboard solo here is fantastic, the drumming is flawless, the bass lines are sweet. Jeff's guitar sounds like a 6 string analog synthesizer. Miles Beyond.

  • Wow I can see where Steve Vai got the idea to constantly jack off the whammy bar.

  • FUCK YOU GOOGLE DON'T PUT ADS ON MY YOUTUBE FUCKING ASS HOLES!!!! p.s. these guys know how to rock the fuck out

  • FUCK YOU GOOGLE DON'T PUT ADS ON MY YOUTUBE FUCKING ASS HOLES!!!!

  • Ronnie Scott's in London. Great venue for up close and personal action!

    Watched The Buddy Rich Big Band there many years ago. What can I say!

    Great playing from Jeff, Vinnie and the young but very talented Tal Wilkenfeld from Australia.

  • Red Bull for Mr. Beck - but don't fly away, we still need you here :)

  • IT'S VINNIE AND TAL!!!

  • i need words, so i'll just say : W O W

  • my what fast fingers you have!

  • WOW! I haven't listened to Jeff Beck in years. He's better than ever and his band is killer.

  • Man he kills. You hang on every note. And he is still relevant. Better live that on any recording in the studio. See him 100 times and each time is different. Out of the Page, Clapton, Beck trilogy he is the only one still doing it. Page and Clapton are legends but go find a clip with them and Beck and they are outgunned.

  • @WWladek lol how I said basically the exact same comment without havig seen yours .... we do a cover of "come dancing" w my bluegrass band when we've had a few....

  • I love the waqy the 32d note miss at 00:20 was acknowledged by Jeff AND the video producer! And Tal, alas words do not suffice to describe thee....

  • - To było fajne ...

  • Love that they can play through the mistakes and laugh about it. Of course I'd be happy to have a band nearly as tight as this. But alas, that's just a pipe dream I fear. To get a drummer that good and a bassist that slick would be an impossibility in this part of the world. Or at least so it seems.

  • Incidentally, you can find this DVD in the cheap bins at most music stores. People just don't appreciate good music anymore. They'd rather spend twice as much for computer generated crap than an actual band that plays real instruments. No DJ here. Wait. I'm a DJ! Yup. I can play my own cds and records. And, there won't be any techno or dance music playing. I can guarantee you that.

  • Vinnie forever...... and jeff..... OMG!!!

  • My god one of the first things i listen to from Jeff Beck, and I love nothing more than discovering an artist that BLOWS YOUR MIND....

    And the drummer, for Christ sake!!!!! he's fucking awesome....

    Jeff Beck played a couple of days ago in my country and I KNEW I would regret not having been there.......

  • His playing has a very voice-like quality. I dig!

  • まるでギターが喋ってるみたい。

    テクニックはまあまあだけどベックのギターは生きてるみたいに聴­こえる

  • @1maou2 i can only agree... whatever that means

  • @1maou2 no freaggin shit? thats exactly what i was going to say

  • guitarworld! Thank you, thank you for posting! Been looking for good quality videos of J.B. for a long time. I agree with bluesborn!!!

  • his thumb must be as hard as a pick by now...

  • Jeff and Tal ... make it happen !

  • Beck so obviously knows what sort of signature sound he wants, and he gets it the way he likes it - the thumb picking chokes down the Fender single-wound pickup treble range, giving the tone almost a voice-like quality - the tremelo bar gives those fluttered notes and sudden glissando dives to the bottom of the register - the hammer-ons are just flash staccato virtuosity - his melodies are flashes of momentary inspiration - a dramatic performance, with little gaps to let it all sink in - !!!

  • @SupernalOne  + removed 3d spring from the tremolo for better sensibility

  • @SupernalOne Well put

  • gonna see them tomorrow in Vredenburg

  • the original JB of all times!!!!! STEP AWAY JUSTIN!!!

  • JEFF BECK POWER!!!!!!!!!

  • ok im a drummer and how awesome would it be to have a sexy wife who plays the bass? i love the set and bass combo an we would jam, smoke, and make looovee alllllll daaaaay

  • I love how Jeff smirks at the drummer when they miss that beat. Yeah. Tal is probably every musicians dream girl.

  • 14 dumbasses accidently pressed the "dislike" button. :)

    and Jeff Beck is amazing!

  • Try aluminum Steel boot's

  • What I love the most about J.B. is how utterly original his every move is.There are thousands of technically brilliant guitarists but vanishingly few have left such an unmistakable imprint.

  • @bluesborn JB has 'studied' the Fender Strat like nobody else. I don't want to make the comparison with Jimi because 'comparison is invidious', ... but these two are way ouyt there by a massive margin in terms of harmony, melody, invention, string technique and sheer captiivation. Did Jeff and Jimi ever go on stage together?

  • @SteffanLlwyd No I dont think they ever did, would have been amazing

  • @bluesborn One of the best points about Jeff Beck I've ever heard. The cleanest, smoothest player? Hardly! But damn is he not completely original, innovative, and constantly (attemptedly) duplicated? Yes, I made up the word "attemptedly"

  • musicians of that caliber come along like once in a hundred years

  • IMPRESIONANTE JEFF BECK

  • he's unique!

  • just so coooool

  • would love to see Beck, Holdsworth and VanHalen playing off each other.

  • Fantastic..so many different sounds in one song. At one time I thought the Strat sounded like a harmonica.

  • is he using a pick at all or just throwing it back and forth and finger picking some.

  • @PsuddzLove Hasn't used a pick since 1980 when he lost one on stage. Finished the show fingerstyle and never looked back!

  • @PsuddzLove he hasnt used a pick since the early 80s

  • didn't they name this one 'led boots' b/c it was based on some early riff that beck and page came up with and used to jam on together?

  • Vinnie Colaiuta And Jeff Beck together AWESOME!!!!!!

  • we want more girls playin' blues!!!!!

  • ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssss q loko

  • I like how Beck looks at Vinnie when V anticipates the second set of accent hits in the intro. It so great to see gifted people play.

  • @LvnAction

    Peraphs, but I don't think this song could be considered a great performance for Vinnie... Hear for istance on Youtube the same song played by Narada Michael Walden with Jeff Beck...

    I think it's much better...

    or not ?

  • muito bom!

  • HEHE he played a measure of the attitude song......but who ran the board on this! TURN TAL UP YA BIG DUMMY!

  • Jeff Beck has a remarkable resemblance to Christopher Guest's Nigel Tufnel character in Spinal Tap

    

  • @MiamiSouthPaw I wonder why

  • Vinnie and Jeff together on stage, that's so umphtastic...

  • PS: sry for my english

    

  • I´ve seen him first in moutreux with this bass player and then 1 year later with another bass player (she was good too,but) what´s happend?

  • @kkppffww Nah, useless plastic anyways....

  • that's how you play a guitar,,,nuff said

  • "Guitar players" that see this and move on to watch Mark Tremonti or those losers from Nile should set your guitar ablaze and avoid ever playing another note on anything. He IS what us REAL guitar players wish we could be.

  • @AxisofJustice21 What a stupid fucking comment. Music is music, and it differs. I couldn't care less about your fucking guitarhero culture. I appreciate both Jeff and Nile, cause they make awesome music.

  • jeff we´re still waiting for you in Argentina man... everyone´s come down except you (and Rush)

  • the guy on keyboard is a monster

  • to funky !!!!!!!!!!

  • Jeff Beck a truly great guitar player, but thats all he is !

  • @dylan14is14 yeah he;s never made a song that like, but the guy is incredible.

    i wonder how much greater he couldve been if he had the compostiion skills of Page.

    thats the only reason i give Page the number one spot over him, its all about the songs.

  • Büyüksünnn jeef babbaaa:))))

  • why is it that I have this dvd but this isn't on it >_>

  • @gullagullagulla i have the dvd aswell and it is definetly on it sir ;)

  • T_T I have a retarded copy of that DVD then

  • I <3 Jeff Beck.

  • Terrific

  • the best all-time # 1

  • You should see this on Blu Ray the entire gig was fantastic!

  • PURE AWSOMENESS!

  • sicccckkkk

  • those amps dont even look truned on...

    whats he playing here

    the new vintage modern?

  • Rubello's solo is great on that.

  • These have to be the MOST TALENTED four musicians ive ever seen up on stage. The ways they play together and their individual styles are so awesome/

  • Love ya so much, your guitar playing is amazing!! And A GREAT BIG THANK YOU for coming to play in the Viareggio benefit concert for the victims of the train accident!!!

    I will never FORGET YOU and hope to see you again soon!!!!

  • To the bass paleyer..."Marry ME!"

  • @galarius She's Tal Wilkenfeld, and she's just awesome *_*

  • AMEN

  • @galarius she's Tal Wilkenfeld. Listen to her solo album, she's amazing. :)

  • I could never get into finger picking on the guitar, I tried. It only works on bass for me.

  • Me too. It is just too close together for me. Glad to see someone else has difficulty with it.

  • Yeah, I mean it works on acoustic, but with electric, I've actually cut some of my fingers on the strings.

  • Jeff Beck's awesome and his band is some of the best musicians around. Vinnie Colauita on drums, Tal Wilkenfield on bass and Jason Rubello on keys. AWESOME!!

  • The guitarist's guitarist. It's funny how many ill-minded, stubborn metal heads listen to this video and think "JESUS AWFUL TONE. JESUS AWFUL PLAYING. JESUS NOT FAST. JESUS HOW IS THIS SOULFUL. HOLY SHIT TERRIBLE."

    If you're a true musician, you know the truth. Enough said.

  • I love heavy metal but I think Jeff Beck is one of the best f***ing guitarist ever!!!!

  • Tal Wilkenfeld, marry me.

  • hmm... like that he just uses his fingers instead of a pick.. And cool drummer..

  • He's always been interesting, sort of has a cult following, not mainstream. Very talented, just not for everyone.

  • I don't mind at all. His guitar tone to me is just awful. I am a guitarist myself, and I am very big on tone, and for whatever reason I really hate his. Again, I don't deny his talent as a guitarist, and the band is amazing. Tal Wilkenfeld is one of my favorite bassists. But I have watched dozens of videos now because so many of my friends who are also musician are always ragging on me for not being a fan, saying I'm just not listening to the right stuff . haha I just don't think it's my style.

  • I agree on the tone. I'm also an axe dude, the tone wasn't all that good. Jeff Beck is an amazing player, but this particular tone was not the usual great things we see.

    Great Drummer btw.

  • Nah dude. I'm in the exact same situation as you. I really agree with you completely.

  • i wouldn't call the tone awful i think its just different. not traditional plus you got to consider the place he is playing in and how it affects the tone

  • Man, despite my many, many attempts to find something I can appreciate in Jeff becks music, I think I have to officially give up. To me, that was just painful to listen to. I cannot comprehend how somebody could enjoy this. Just my opinion of course, please don't send me a thousand replies telling me off. I don't deny his talent. But i think this will be the last attempt I ever make to become a Jeff Beck fan.

  • If you don't mind my asking, what exactly was so dreadful?

  • craziness!!

  • I did not know that he plays w/ his fingers!!!

    This is Awesome!!!! \m/

  • Ya.

    but apart of this she-bass cute girl, I don't hear the grove. It's instead very bouncing thru the beat, every member is playing something different... Cool but not the best performance of mr. Beck.

  • ops.. groove*, sorry.

  • Its a shame you can't hear it
