Jeff Beck looked exactly the same for about 40 years. R.I.P. legend.

I came across this by accident. Incredible musicianship by all players, not just Beck

[Jamestele]

Jeff Beck is every bit as important as Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, and Santana. RIP Jeff Beck - this one really stings.

The only guitarist I know of who was very literally better at the end of his life than during his early career. Beck never stopped evolving and improving. Absolute creative brilliance. God knows I'm gonna miss him!!

[stevepaulson]

That's Jennifer Batten playing the other guitar. She was a shredding star in the 80's and Michael Jackson's touring guitarist for a long time. She's amazing.

IMO Jeff Beck has surpassed Every guitarist that has ever lived. And yes, I mean all of them. RIP genius.❤😢

I’m 66, and this man singlehandedly got me into the blues, along with Rory Gallagher., and now Bonomassa. What a terrible loss for the music community and his millions of fans. R.I.P.

[ronaldwilson]

Rest in peace. Amazing musician. He will be sorely missed

[Mark-qrup]

David didn't have a clue of the immense talent and vision of JB
Musicians are still in awe of Jeff as am I

[ArcadieZaporojanu]

Even after 61y of music I didn't know him. Well, the true definition of
The jazz rock.
God bless him

When I was nineteen I had a depressed parrot that would only perk up when I played Jeff Beck. I can still hear that record in my head.Goodbye Jeff I'm glad you are part of my life.

[luannabbate]

A TRUE Legend. So many guitarists are still trying to catch up with him. Rest in Peace Jeff.

[noemiybarra]

Did you see this amazing guitarist, this rock legend, give his bandmates solos before he took over? Now that's genius generosity.

[anthonymichaelhalloates]

A Jen penned badass song!! Gotta love the way they collaborate

[karenmorton]

Saw this incredible guy on stage with Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice back in the 70s. His playing was stratospherically soaring and I'll never forget it. What a dreadful loss. RIP Jeff.

[BostonIce]

So fricken sad. So tired of losing my favorite artists. He was a legend and will always be remembered. RIP Jeff 💔

[jamesjackson]
