RIP Jeff Beck

[HOF]

It was yes. They obliterated *everyone* that day. This is the best Beck show ever (that had been documented). One of Vinnie's greatest documented performances too (says a Vinnie diehard)

Have seen a bunch of these clips shared. Curious who the bass player is. She looked really young and just sort of in awe of being there. Not that she was bad or anything, just wonder what the story is there.

The bass player is Tal Wilkenfield.

The bass player is Tal Wilkenfield.

Looks like she was 21 or 22 at the time of that show, and she had previously played with The Allman Brothers and Chick Corea as well as in her own band before getting that gig. Pretty impressive resume!

Tal is amazing! Her first solo album, Transformation, is really good too (jazz/fusion stuff). The second lost me though, as it's more of a singer-songwriter approach with her on vocals, completely different genere.

Probably my favorite Beck moment.   He recreates the orchestra amazingly.  At the end the camera pans over to Page in the audience beaming like a maniac.

This was excellent

This is simply beautiful: Were Where You

ABSOLUTE CLASSIC & extremely beautiful. If you're a QUEEN fan, listen to this and then listen to BIJOU! Both are timeless!

I heard a touch of 'Lost Horizon' in there as well.

Brian and Jeff did one song on a Brian solo LP called 'The Guv'nor' in reference to Jeff. 

Beck also played on Roger's 'Fun On Earth' LP, and performed with him on stage in 2011 for an event called 'A Picnic Concert By The Chapel On A Lake'

Finally, we have the now Sir Brian May, along with Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck meeting Queen Elizabeth. I do not know when this took place (only the Queen has gray hair, so it was many years ago)        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDDZf_NoN7s

(and the much needed captions of the conversations afterwards)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYeue0EiXgE

She must have spent less than five seconds doing research beforehand.

 “Are you a guitarist as well?”

Legendary doesn't even do the man justice. This really hurts.


 Sadly I only "got" him 30 years ago but it's been quite a ride since then.

Shock wearing off just sad now.
