Derek Trucks is one of the tiny number of guitarists, who can do Justice to the songs that Jeff Beck made his own. A wonderful performance from a brilliant musician.
"justice" debatable, noisy attack comparatively and none of the nuance or savagery that JB had at any moment, that said, nobody ever has, it's a useless comparison...he did a good job "in tribute" and that's where it ends
It's hard to appreciate the amount of work it would have taken Derek Trucks to work out that track...all of Jeff Beck's nuances coupled with putting his own spin on it, what a fantastic tribute.
Effortless mastery of the guitar is Derek's lifelong gift to all of us, just as Jeff blessed us with his mastery. Derek's volume control, mimicking Jeff's tremolo artistry, and seamless shifting between slide and finger painting is astonishing. This is respect.
Given the umbelievable muusic gift he has, I wouldn't be surprised if he took him like half an hour. His musical IQ is stratospheric (sgpheric?) and he probably just absorbed naturally the way Beck plays over the years. They are two of the most unique guitar players to ever live, and i'm pretty sure derek took a lot from beck while building his own playing.
To echo what these two said, apparently he can kinda sit down and get there very quickly. Particularly with people he's familiar with and emulated previously (whether public or private)
Well said…..he studied and put the time in and he fucking nailed the spirit of Jeff becks sounds and inflections, he went off the beaten path and then reeled it back in. For me, being a Jeff Beck snob, this is indeed the best tribute I have heard!
This is the best tribute I've seen among all of the players. He really captures Beck's vibe, but still brings his own personality to it. Excellent playing!
Dereks solo on Joyful Noise literally stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I heard it. I physically pulled the car over to try and take it in. It was like Aretha was singing or something. The style he has developed is simply unbelievable. Yes he plays guitar, but the man is not a guitarist, he’s a musician. And I absolutely mean that as a complement!
Derek and Jeff both pick with their fingers, both control volume, feedback and tone through their hand and both have an otherworldly creativity that is, well, practically impossible to do justice to with words
The real tribute to Jeff here is the amount of time Derek must have put in practicing this and working this out. Both Jeff and Derek as masters of the instrument put in hard hard work in practicing so it pays off in an effortless performance - and this is as effortless looking as anything Jeff did. God Bless Jeff Beck.
You can always always always tell a musician who loves music and plays for all the right reasons, and then there’s people who do it for the fame. Derek has music running through his veins. Outstanding tribute.
Derek Trucks is alone in this line-up of the world's greatest guitarists who can match Jeff Beck's astonishing, singular accomplishment. What a performance!
@@albertpsaros I was never really into Slide guitar, but when I saw Derek and his band a few years ago, I really changed my mind... RIP Jeff, best guitarist ever
Rip Jeff Beck and bravo to DT for this tribute song. No one can ever fully emulate Beck's whammy bar and tone manipulation magic but DT did a nice job here. God bless Clapton and crew for doing this show.
Derek is a player that cares….its obvious he does his homework - and obvious he understands dynamics, tone and space and energy….truly a craftsman and outstanding player!!!
Without doubt the best performance, and performer, at this tribute. The way Trucks moves seamlessly between slide and fretted guitar is just stunning! His original playing in Beck's style at 3:17 is fantastic, then he's not afraid to directly quote Beck at 5:07. Beck would be delighted!!!
You nailed it. I closed my eyes and really felt that I was listening to some sort of hybrid combination of Derek & Jeff. You hear each of them in this. Just stunningly beautiful.
When Derek Trucks picks up the guitar, you hold your breath, you want to hear his pin drop, and then when he plays you are as captured as Odysseus/Ulysses would have been by the sirens had he taken the wax out of his ears. What a musician! Thank you!
Derek seems like the only guitarist who can absorb another person’s style, couple it with their own style and have the end result be pure genius. I’m sure Jeff would be proud !
Derek Trucks has his pulse on just about every genre of music that pertains to the masses of blues, rock, jazz, big band, solo efforts..and he's only beginning...in this performance he channeled Jeff Beck/ Charlie Mingus all rolled up in one , Bravo.
WOW what a rendition of this tune. I bet Mingus never thought this would still be played in 2023. Amazing tune and amazing album it came off of originally. Derek Trucks hats off to you for this! Jeff Beck RIP we will NEVER forget.
"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is a jazz instrumental composed by Charles Mingus and it was recorded in March 1971 by John McLaughlin for his album “My Goal's Beyond”.
@musicalSFCat Totally agree, with your comments. I will take it one step further, and say IMHO Derek is the BEST guitarist now, and has been for the past 15 years or so. Also IMHO I don't think its that close.
@TK All of your anti Derek comments on this whole thread are nonsense actually. JB was great indeed but your DT bashing on every comment someone posts is based in JB idol worship. You probably have his photos all over your house. Whether JB is best, DT is also a very elite guitatist of all styles. Not just slide. You don’t know what you think you know. Give it a rest.
@@philpullen2800 I know this should go without saying, but do people have to put somebody down in order to praise someone else? Derek fuckin' rules and at this point it's not even an opinion, it's a fact.
@@philpullen2800bashing?? Lol, that's pretty silly, sorry your hero got another review based in reality... you're entitled to your opinion, this hero worship of Derek based on a cover of Jeff Beck's cover is ridiculous, and it's not bashing to offer a different opinion based in fact; he's nowhere near the player JB was and never will be. Unfortunately you do not control where anyone comments, I suggest you get over yourself and get back to worshipping your hero and stop fancying yourself as an internet cop, LOL, I've been a professional guitarist for 45 years and a sound engineer for 35, I know what I'm talking about Mr annoyed, lol, Derek is a talented slide guitarist, that's where it ends, he'll never be on top of that Mountain where JB will always be, deal with it.
@@fviannaval different opinions aren't putting someone down, you think you're correct and anyone that disagrees with your myopic view that Derek is the best there is is a "put down"?? grow up, there's literally thousands better, and if you can't handle a different opinion you shouldn't be posting comments on CZcams, I have the right to say your take that Derek's the best is nonsense, and it's not a fact because YOU think it is, enjoy his music I do, but he's not the best of anything.
Derek Trucks is such a formidable player, to the play the slide with the perfect intonation he does is extremely hard , also using an open tuning can be extremely confining in terms of where you can go , traditionally, he just makes that look easy but his soul and heart really bleeds through everything he does, He tells a story the way Jeff used to.
I have loved this song for a long time. For those that don't know, its called "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" It was written as a dedication to sax great Lester Young when he died. The original as done by its composer Charles Mingus is fantastic. Then Jeff Beck Got it, and created a new magic. Now this. This is awesome. I am just dumfounded.
This was a big challenge, and Derek rose to the occasion. So great to hear a virtuoso performance during a time when that level of musicianship seems to be turning into a thing of the past.
There will never be another musical genius like Jeff Beck, but after this AMAZING performance from Derek Trucks, I believe the same can now be said about him. An absolute masterful take on this classic, where Derek respects and honors Jeff's version, and at the same time, allows his own voice to shine as well. OUTSTANDING..!!!
There are people who like JB and other people who like DT, or others who like both. I'm wondering what enables you to belittle Derek's performance. What annoys you? Jeff Beck is no longer alive due to the criticism of Derek, your criticism your criticism is of no use to anyone! The musicians wanted to remember JB!
@@rjdblues80 Greg Koch for one. Dave Lindley just passed, Ry Cooder, George Harrison and Robert Randolph as well have been other favs...variably available.
I'm 70 and still do that :) ..I'm currently enjoying watching some "Reaction" videos , where people ( mostly DJ's or Hip Hop guys ) are played something they never heard before and their reaction filmed ..check the reactions on All Along The Watchtower , the Jimi H version of course ..great to see !
This is exactly the kind of support for Jeff i knew would show up. Eric puts out the call and unfortunately this is not the first what a beautiful tribute of true love of friendship and music. Derek is the torch bearer when Eric never retires ❤ 😢 Forever Fan
Only Derek could make a Jeff Beck instrumental his own and truly capture Beck's spirit at the same time. This is a true master working his craft at the highest level. Just fucking wow.
Ive been following Derek since he first joined the allman brothers and was a baby faced kid. Now hes the elder statesman of the scene.. earned every bit of the respect
I just happen to be listening to the (vinyl) album Wired by Jeff Beck at this moment, and saw this pop up on CZcams. Yes, Derek is amazing and did a fantastic job honoring Jeff here. He is the cream of the crop of this tribute, with John McLaughlin a close second.
It must have been emotional for Anika and Rhonda - the latter in particular - to play these tunes without Jeff. In the opening bit Rhonda look skyward, as if summoning up some inner strength to pull her through. Likely a lot of emotions within the many musicians and fans who attended.
Oh my lord! I was held spellbound and dumbstruck by what I just heard here! Trucks kept what was essentially Jeff Beck to the extent that some phrases sounded like he was actually channeling Jeff but then he added his own flair and flourish to it to make it stand apart but equal to the original. In a few places it was almost like Trucks and Beck were both playing that one guitar at the same time. I've never heard an interpretation of a great piece where anyone has ever managed to do that. This was Beck playing, than Trucks paying Beck and then Beck & Trucks playing together. It was a bit freaky like some shapeshifting was going on right before our very ears. Derek, I hope you read this man. You hit me really hard with this piece. That was magnificent. Tell me truly man, was Jeff on stage with you but we just couldn't see him 'cause I sure as hell heard 'im?
My 2nd favourite guitar version of this tune ever…even Beck would just play a minor blues after the head , or slip into Brush with the Blues when playing this live. This was beautiful.
Somewhere up there Jeff Beck has a big smile hearing this guitar genius create his own brand of magic. I was one of the lucky ones to have first seen Derek when he was 13 and came out to jam with the Allmans. It was quite apparent already that he was beyond a prodigy. Such a magical musician!
great tribute to Jeff Beck - Derek Trucks keeps the feeling and soul of Jeff's version with great respect but also showing his own personality.......goosebumps guaranteed
I've been watching a lot of Jeff Beck tributes on CZcams including the ridiculously talented Matteo Mancuso. But Mr. Trucks...well, well, well. He captures the spirit of Jeff, Duane and then some. Extraordinary.
There is an eerie but even more beautiful similarity between Derek Trucks' and Jeff Beck's playing...this tribute showcased that. Few musicians will ever rise to that level..
for yrs ive been saying Jeff and Derek should do a show together ,, this is Dereks early style of playing they both just seem to pick the same notes always just blew me away
What a fabulous tribute . Wired is one of my top favourite albums . Derek is an amazing guitarist and privileged to see him live late 2022 , absolutely jaw dropping , could only giggle and smile what I was witnessing ..Truly memorable ❤
Love the Wired album . Saw Jeff with Jan Hammer at the Palladium in NYC. What a magnificent showWent with friends who came from Lowell Massachusetts to visit & they invited me to show 😊
Derek did a great job replicating and expressing this tune, going "outside" as Jeff did so wonderfully, in his own way. As well as playing the melody of the song so beautifully. Charles Mingus surely would approve too. Music at its best should stir the listeners heart and evoke a higher spirit in us 🎉. 🕉
He’s been carrying the blood of the ABB RE ‘uncle butch trucks’ and sound of Duane for years and nobody is more unique yet respectful than trucks tedesci to those that came before
Rolling Stone magazines most recent list on the top 250 guitarists of all times had Trucks @ no. 85. Really.? Go figure. More like top 10 IMHO. Outstanding tribute here to another top 10 guitarist. Rip Jeff Beck.
ive seen Derek Trucks( with Tedeschi Trucks Band) so many times that I've lost count , but always worth coming back for more. The best alive IMO, got to believe Beck is smiling down on that version of Porkpie
Derek could have done a note for note copy....as he's done with the entire ABB catalogue....this was so much better that he improvised his own take on it. BRAVO!
Derek Trucks is one of the tiny number of guitarists, who can do Justice to the songs that Jeff Beck made his own. A wonderful performance from a brilliant musician.
Finger pickers are a rare breed. Those that shine, shine the brightest.
"justice" debatable, noisy attack comparatively and none of the nuance or savagery that JB had at any moment, that said, nobody ever has, it's a useless comparison...he did a good job "in tribute" and that's where it ends
He is one of the special guest who made him alive, man ❤

Derek is absolutely unreal!
Just absolutely so damn good at guitar.. what an amazing tribute from a one of a kind guitarist

Amen!
FINALLY an actual Jeff Beck tribute song, from one of the very few players who could pull it off - and this is really really beautiful!
This performance is truly mesmerizing. I am a big fan of Jeff Beck and Derek Trucks, I'll bet Jeff has a big smile on his face staring down from above
I think Jeff was next too people like Duane and Jimmy and Stevie saying DAMN!!!

Both Jeff and Derek as masters of the instrument put in hard hard work in practicing so it pays off in an effortless performance - and this is as effortless looking as anything Jeff did.

Derek makes everything he plays look effortless, no rock god poses, just pure soul!
Yes. Derek( Mr. Slide} is already a guitar legend. imo
I suspect Derek just had to hear it once, and he could do it.

You can’t say anything about trucks that hasn’t already been said, but the fact that he’s STILL getting better is utterly ridiculous and frightening.
Starting to use a pick now too, The Seeker at MSG.
He's actually kinda like Beck in that way. He never stopped enjoying either.
He sure is squeezing the juice out the lemon…..and that is a strong compliment. The inflections in his playing pay great tribute the Jeff!

Derek is a dominant player of lead guitar and quite obviously a gifted student of the blues and slide.
Thanks for posting this. Derek is just so damn good and what a great tribute to Jeff.
Tear it up Derek!! Doing Jeff so proud. Phenomenal.
One of the greatest guitar players alive today
What a fabulous tribute . Wired is one of my top favourite albums . Derek is an amazing guitarist and privileged to see him live late 2022 , absolutely jaw dropping , could only giggle and smile what I was witnessing ..Truly memorable ❤
Love the Wired album . Saw Jeff with Jan Hammer at the Palladium in NYC. What a magnificent showWent with friends who came from Lowell Massachusetts to visit & they invited me to show 😊
@@fredsinger3894 you were very lucky Fred ..❤️👍🥰
Derek did a great job replicating and expressing this tune, going "outside" as Jeff did so wonderfully, in his own way. As well as playing the melody of the song so beautifully.
Charles Mingus surely would approve too.
Music at its best should stir the listeners heart and evoke a higher spirit in us 🎉. 🕉
Unbelievable. Outstanding tribute to JB. So much emotion in Derek's playing. Brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I shut my eyes and all I could hear was Jeff Beck. Well done Derek.
A guitar legend is playing for another guitar legend!
Derek Trucks is best slide player working today .. he learned an awful lot from the Sky Dog
Clearly the world's best slideman !!
One of the best, if not the best and the Tedeschi - Truxks band is the best band on tour today , great live show
Derek just keeps getting better by the year as most great guitar players do!
the best performance at the tribute by far !!!
He’s been carrying the blood of the ABB RE ‘uncle butch trucks’ and sound of Duane for years and nobody is more unique yet respectful than trucks tedesci to those that came before
Rolling Stone magazines most recent list on the top 250 guitarists of all times had Trucks @ no. 85. Really.? Go figure. More like top 10 IMHO. Outstanding tribute here to another top 10 guitarist. Rip Jeff Beck.
ive seen Derek Trucks( with Tedeschi Trucks Band) so many times that I've lost count , but always worth coming back for more. The best alive IMO, got to believe Beck is smiling down on that version of Porkpie
me too! What an incredible band! And Derek...........................................
like beck, nobody sounds like him. the highest compliment for a musician.
Derek is amazing, he really has all the elements, have probably seen this clip 30 times and give me chills every time
J P's uploads of the many JB tribute performances are the best.
Derek could have done a note for note copy....as he's done with the entire ABB catalogue....this was so much better that he improvised his own take on it. BRAVO!
Thank you, Derek. This is uniquely suited to Jeff.
