Just heard Jeff Beck died.

 

[Clean Willy]

Well shoot.

So far ahead of his time with this from 1965.

 

[DanielOcean]

Just saw this. Damn.

[East Coaster]

Sorry to hear this news, he was one of the greats. Here's a more recent example, showing he still had that magic tone (and Johnny Depp surprised me with how well he sings here):

 

[Greg Armstrong]

Dang, that’s sad news to hear.

 

[Tim Cottage]

Terrible news. One of my all time favorites. He didn't indulge in self destructive behavior, he just got old and less resistant to fairly common ailments.

 

[Bambooflyguy]

His musical talents will be missed, RIP Jeff Beck.

Saw him live at the uptown theater in Chicago for his wired tour. He played a number of songs from Blow by Blow album. I am listening to Rough and Ready album right now. He was an amazing artist, loved to break all the rules and conventions of guitar playing.

 

[Richard Olmstead]

I used to put Blow By Blow on high volume mornings after a heavy night of partying. If that didn’t clear the brain fog, nothing would! I haven’t listened to his guitar for years, but will dial up some over the next few days.

Early Yardbird members were the basis of so many great rock 'n roll bands. Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton to name a few...

Over, Under, Sideways, Down...
Heart Full of Soul
For Your Love

RIP Jeff Beck...

Few years behind you guys in '75.
'81 Beck was a late night, lights off, head phones staple.

 

[Canuck from Kansas]

One of the altimeter greats, we are losing so many oof them, RIP Mr Beck!

 

[Brute]

I had most of his albums, including early Yardbirds…I saw him play in MSG during Eric Clapton’s Crossroads concert on day 2…

He was awesome and unique…

 

[Jim in Anacortes]

"Cause we've ended as lovers"..... No lyrics.... just his guitar gently weeping.....anyone that has lost a lover can feel his music, to the core of their soul.
