I first heard Jeff Beck when I was 15 years old and insane in 1965 and he has never, ever ceased to amaze me in his innovations. Speaking across generations in a way no-one in history has, or I daresay could, since he has yet to stop! He has a great synergy with Vinnie Colaiuta who is perhaps one of the few people who can match his innovation.
Interesting to listen to JB now and hear all the players that came after him and are so influenced by his sound. One of a kind. Also, I like Jeff because it's not always just the Jeff Beck show. The other instruments play a vital role in his compositions. Great stuff.
Oh man that was just too cool!!! That takes me back to the day. Ok, so now I need to get my "Blow by blow " cd to play in the car today. Thanx for posting!!!
love Jeff and Vinnie on this. VC, perfect drummer for this tune. very MVO and FZ in form and feel. just love seeing this fine performance again. cheers!
@cranie4 He ran to the amp to get a plecturm / pick to start, but then drops it later. He goes back to the amp at 3:38 for another plectrum for the ending. On Jeff's amps are usually:- A towel Plectrums Glass slides A cup of Tea Talcum powder
I've seen J Mac several times but my favorite was late 80's at a tiny venue in Ft Worth called Caravan Of Dreams. Maybe 150-200 people at the most. Jonas Helborg was on bass and Trilok Gurtu on percussion and anything else that could make a sound. We were about 15-20 ft from the stage. I distinctly remember their version of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat." It was awesome. Went backstage for a while, drank some Heini's, talked, autographs etc. Great memories of a great show!! {B>)
Charles Mingus' original 'Porkpie' was elegant, deeply emotional and beautiful on it's own. But to hear Beck's yearning, melancholic version brought it forward in proper spirit.
A reporter once asked Miles Davis if he had one person he would have like to play with who would it be? The answer:JIMI HENDRIX on Machine Gun.Satch one of the greatest technician,musicianship:so so. Clapton good licks ,good sound but in the second half of the top ten.Eddy...took it where Hendrix left it ,massive sound (in those days) different technic,speed,creativity.All of this within a std rock and roll structure.Beck 's got all of the above plus musicianship,a musician's musician.
Watching this i felt like ok this is gonna be smooth the Vinnie goes super Saiyan and my eyes roll back in my head and my spine slides out my ass from excitement.
yo if this played in the elevator i would ride that thing all day this guy is amazing and if anyone else say different lets see you get up there and do this
I still have my Blow By Blow album I bought nearly 40 yrs ago. Well, I have the cover and sleeve but the vinyl is so thin it's nearly gone:>) I got to where I could play all the guiter riffs and bass lines and some of the drums (no keys at the time) but this song was the hardest to learn on guitar. I saw Jeff in '75 with John Maclaughlin encore with this song, going faster+faster when Beck finally threw in the towel and said "ladies and gentleman, the master of guitar MR John Maclaughlin".
good one.... Of course he was the typical instrumental musician and joined some band that had a vocalist,,,,,,,, and then he got famous enough he didn't have to have a vocalist in the band..The best thing about Jeff is he hires females to drive his audience crazy because they think they are better than his female bassist? LOL
I really personally think that Jeff Beck should be no.1 i used to not believe in lists but he really is just the greatest cos everyone sounds the same but he truely sounds way above everyone hes of the greats whos taken influence from hendrix but didnt abuse it where he sounds like him like alot of hendrix jr's *ahem* john mayer *ahem* Stevie ray vaughn *ahem* as well as being influenced by jazz and fusion like the mahavishnu orhcestra. Hes just in a class by himself and no one comes close.
Everybody repeats themselves. Listeners have zero tolerance for zero-repetition players. Beck is one of the few who really stand out as original, and continues to improve and further develop an already phenominal style. Perhaps it's your listening ability that's worn out; not Becks riffs. I for one, will keep enjoying the "same old" brilliant phrasing, and rich tones that he produces like only he can.
I love it how alot of his songs don't have words. Instead he uses his guitar as his voice. It's truely music genius at work.
ギター・インストの魅力のみでこんなにも長い間トップを走り続けるなんて、彼以外には考えられないですね。言葉よりも雄弁に語るギターの音色が素晴らしすぎます。
Jeff Beck, the coolest guitarist that ever lived
Damn R.I.P - still one of the best concerts i ever saw
Same here. It was a bucket list item for me, and sadly he passed 3 months later. 😢
Vinny Calaiuta is so amazing. Spot on tempo with some of the sickest fills I've ever heard!!
man ive always been a metal/neo clasical player but MAN
I CANT GET OVER HOW MUCH FEEL THIS GUY HAS

The Master of the Stratocaster
Beck is brilliant, but credit his band members that give him the platform to pull off his genius
It's been said that when it comes to guitar,"there's the rest of us,and then there's Jeff Beck" This proves that....
He's always fabulous live. Seen him about four times.
Vinnie is a BEAST
The most faboulous madman, Long Live Beck !!!
No words now. I can't speak. It is so perfect in every way

He makes it looks easy - that is mastery.

神が降りてます
These people are super talented at their instruments. This song was a beast on Guitar hero 5.
jeez he's aged so well, better than most musicians you see today who were around back in the 60s
You absolutely hit it on the dot, brother.
Wow when will Jeff get the credit he deserves. This clip is F-ing smoking!!!!! Way to go Mr. Beck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is awesome video taping
El solo de teclado es magnífico ❤

The best guitar tones of the world

Jeff Beck There is no Substitute!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes man !
2:52 aaaahhhhh love me some Keyboard fusion. Such a bliss
This song is something you can dance to in a speedo
i love how his set up is sooooo simple theres nothing to it besides the people onstage and a few lights

Watching this i felt like ok this is gonna be smooth the Vinnie goes super Saiyan and my eyes roll back in my head and my spine slides out my ass from excitement.
Insane.
WHOOOOOO!!!!!
R.I.P.
Well my brains officially been scattered!

誰が名付けたか世界三大ギタリストのJEFF BECK
もう名前からしてカッコいい！
This seems like a very hard song to play....... these guys are good ! Will
wowowowowow!!! :)
yo if this played in the elevator i would ride that thing all day this guy is amazing and if anyone else say different lets see you get up there and do this
you cant argue with fact

i just want to say that im seeing him in march...i want to brag about it lol
Oh my godness, the keyboarder also has brilliant skills :D
i agree. the music is chaotic to show he is ''scatterbrained.''
its really not random at all
awesome !!
Woman in Japanese dress playing Jeff beck !!
Oh my god !
he's fortunate he didn't get too well known...still alive I hope
good one.... Of course he was the typical instrumental musician and joined some band that had a vocalist,,,,,,,, and then he got famous enough he didn't have to have a vocalist in the band..The best thing about Jeff is he hires females to drive his audience crazy because they think they are better than his female bassist? LOL
Yeah, got it. Fortunate he wasn't with Buddy Holly and SRV on their last flights. Isn't the "comment" section wonderful?
Such a goofy, fun song. Great listen imo.
it's fucking awesome
holy crap. yeah jeff beck's awesome, but wow vinnie colaiuta!!!! EVEN MORE AWESOME!!!!
sick
I'm surprised that Nigel Tufnel didn't make anybody's list of guitarists here.
42 people are definitely Scatterbrained
I think its fair to say that some things in Beck style are things that Vai or Yngwie would have a hard time accomplishig though
I really personally think that Jeff Beck should be no.1 i used to not believe in lists but he really is just the greatest cos everyone sounds the same but he truely sounds way above everyone hes of the greats whos taken influence from hendrix but didnt abuse it where he sounds like him like alot of hendrix jr's *ahem* john mayer *ahem* Stevie ray vaughn *ahem* as well as being influenced by jazz and fusion like the mahavishnu orhcestra. Hes just in a class by himself and no one comes close.
Jeff is ON THE CLOCK! Punched in, taking care of business!!!
That's Vinnie!
Drums are f*ing sick 0.0
there are so many great guitarists that there is no way to rank them
@cestnoir that is the point of the song if you dident notice its called scatterbrain
Its funny how worked up people get about peoples opinions.
Damn people and their wrong opinions
Great song
yet a humen lifespen isn't enough to master the guitar.
Vinieeeeeeee !!!!! super super superman !!!!
Vinnie

The fans are awestruck and quiet
Admiral Adama on drums !
i was waiting for his hands to spontaniously combust
I like the bit where he played the music
i agree
Vinnie Colaiuta FTW
Music I use to skateboard to.
