Jeff Beck is my all time favorite musician. I first saw him in 1975 touring with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and I've seen him every time I had the chance since then. In recent years he has had lots of women in his bands, and the band with Tai was one of the best. He was amazing with the Yardbirds, and he has done nothing but get better since then. Most rockers his age are just nostalgia acts now, but Jeff has been pushing the envelope throughout his career. The last few times I've seen him it felt like he didn't play anything all evening that wasn't just thrilling. He's even dabbled a little in classical music:

Jeff Beck and nearly all the other 1960s British rockers are all on my list of favorites. Steve Howe of Yes is another.

Rock and jazz are ageless. Watch this:

Old rock legends play with comparative youngsters. Tal and Jason are amazing, paired with Vinnie and Jeff.

The list of old rock and jazz legends Tal Wilkenfeld has played with is long and deep. She dropped out at 16 and escaped Australia for Los Angeles… three years later, she was playing with Jeff Beck.

That dvd is a great one to own. If you keep an eye out, you'll see Robert Plant nestled in the back smiling and enjoying the performance.

Keith Richards and Jimmy Page are in that one, too. Old rockers support each other.

Stephen Tyler played with Jeff and Tal, just so he could meet her.

Last time I got to see Jeff Beck was on his 2013 tour with Brian Wilson. The two acts couldn’t have been more different, with Brian Wilson and his band basically being an “oldies” show (sorry, that hurts to say because I do love his music). Jeff Beck came on second and wow, he seemed energized by playing with people much younger than him. His band seemed to push him and he responded with a great set. It was fun to watch him and it was so easy to see how much he still valued his music and enjoyed playing it. He has always been my favorite of the three Yardbirds guitarists.

I saw that tour at the Paramount Theater in Oakland. One of the highlights was Jeff playing Brian's beautiful composition Surf's Up.
