  • Jeff Beck is an amazing guitarist. I love his guitar work, even though it isn't the most technically it is still great musically.

  • I love how it has that Mississippi Delta Blues style. Well done Jeff.

  • i wish jeff beck would come play at my high school games

  • @mindeloman...Jeff was asked to play the National Anthem cuz he was playing right across the street that night. He was gracious enough to do it. So he's British. Wow what irony... Who the hell cares?

  • Hmmmm let's see Ted Nugent or Jeff Beck? I think if they ever played on the same stage together, Ted would have to bring his guns with him so he wouldn't get blown away so stop saying how Sweaty Teddy does this song better than Jeff.

  • It is what it is...Everyone knows Jeff could totally wail away like Jimi did on this. It was a good short version so don't try to make too much of it. Jeff is simply the best!!!

  • @kentucksoldiersson All true; but my original post was about the irony of him being a brit playing the american national anthem. Insert the lyrics where appropriate. Rockets red glare. Bombs bursting in air. And the irony clincher, "that OUR flag (not the union jack) was still there. Those times are long gone. Although I wonder what Frances Scott Key would think of a Brit playing the music to his poem 200 years later. Time changes all.

  • @mindeloman Well the Brtis gave us George Washington, Ben Franklin, our language, the framework of our criminal justice, our form of democracy. The Beatles and Jeff and on and on and on. Their contribution to America is immeasurable.

  • @Fastsprinter87 I agree Ted wailed on the anthem!! jeffs version boring!

  • @Fastsprinter87 I beg to differ. Heard both versions and at times I couldn't even tell it was the National Anthem when Ted was playing.
