I don’t care about the rules. In fact, if I don’t break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I’m not doing my job properly.
~Jeff BeckEvery time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He’s way, way out, doing things you never expect.

Jimmy Page inducts Jeff Beck at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009:
Jeff Beck accepts the award at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Induction:
In November of 2007, legendary guitarist Jeff Beck took to the stage of London’s Ronnie Scott’s, a notorious jazz club with a rich history. Unfortunately, given the size of the club, only a few were lucky enough to see him and his band – Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Jason Rebello (keyboards) and Tal Wilkenfeld (bass) – perform. Lucky for us it was recorded, and released on film. This is a compilation of these concerts of sorts, and I would love to see all seven shows released.
Beck’s series of concerts at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London’s Soho became the must have ticket of 2007 in London.
With a setlist that features classic tracks from across his career, a stunning backing band and special guest appearances by Joss Stone, Imogen Heap and Eric Clapton, this concert film captures for the first time the unique experience of Jeff Beck live in concert.
Highlights: Stratus (shorter than Cobham’s versions but oh so good!), Tal Wilkenfeld’s bass solo on Wonder’s Cause we’ve ended as lovers and Jeff Beck who shines all through this film, what an incredible musician!
The band:
– Jeff Beck / guitar
– Vinnie Colaiut / drums
– Jason Rebello / keyboards
– Tal Wilkenfeld / bass guitar
Guest artists:
Joss Stone
Imogen Heap
Eric Clapton
