Jeff Beck, Paul Rodgers and Ann Wilson Kick Off ‘Stars Align’ Tour: Set Lists and Videos

The Stars Align tour  featuring Jeff Beck , Paul Rodgers and Ann Wilson  launched with nearly three hours of music at the USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley, Utah, Wednesday night.

You can see set lists and videos from the show below.

Beck's headlining slot focused largely on covers, with 11 of the 18 songs performed originally recorded by someone else. But it also showed off the musical versatility of the guitarist and his band, tackling tunes by the Beatles ("A Day in the Life"), the Jimi Hendrix Experience ("Little Wing"), Stevie Wonder ("Superstition"), the Mahavishnu Orchestra ("You Know You Know") and the Chieftains ("Mná na h-Éireann"), as well as blues greats Otis Rush, Lonnie Mack and Willie Dixon.

During "Big Block," he stopped playing due to an injury to a finger on his left hand. The drummer and bassist kept the groove going while Beck applied something to stem the bleeding given to him by a member of the audience. Once it was fixed, he resumed his solo.

Rodgers' 12-song set drew almost evenly from the two bands that have defined his career: seven from Free and five from Bad Company . After leaving the stage following "Rock and Roll Fantasy," he returned to encore with Free's biggest hit, "All Right Now."

Wilson opened the evening with 10 songs , but only one came from the  Heart  catalog, "Barracuda"; another original, "Fool No More," appeared on her 2015 The Ann Wilson Thing! - #1 EP . The others were covers, with three coming from her upcoming Immortal album (" I Am the Highway ," "You Don't Own Me" and "Life in the Fast Lane"). She opened and closed with the same two songs that began and ended the Who 's Quadrophenia , "The Real Me" and "Love, Reign O'er Me."

The Stars Align tour continues tonight at the Five Point Amphitheatre in Los Angeles and runs through Aug. 26 at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa. You can see all the dates here .

Reviews & Commentary

Jeff beck, paul rodgers, ann wilson at bb&t pavillion.

Jeff Beck is a Shooting Star in Stars Align Tour

The Stars Align Tour had all the trappings of a nostalgia show with one artist each from the 60s, the 70s and 80s. Two of those artists lived up to that nostalgic expectation. One of them had other plans.

I had lower expectation for Paul Rodgers, the powerful singer for Free and most notably, Bad Company. They weren’t bands I ever followed, but you couldn’t miss them on the radio in those days. They always hit me as derivative, workman-like groups, a combination of Rolling Stones rowdiness and Led Zeppelin metal. But as Rodgers unfolded their catalog, I was struck by how many of the songs were hits. They had five Top 10 albums between 1974 and 1979 and 6 Top Forty Hits. They even had radio hits like the song, “Bad Company” that didn’t chart. Paul Rodgers trotted them all out except for “Bad Company” and the audience, mostly 50, 60 and 70 somethings sporting their best 1970s festival attire, were taken back to their glory days on the wings of Paul Rodgers’ amazingly potent tenor which hasn’t lost a single note. You’re not supposed to sound that good at 68. Rodgers was playful, fronting his quartet, Free Spirit (actually Deborah Bonham ’s backing band), twirling the mike stand ironically and coaxing the audience into sing-alongs. There was no new music here, but all the hits including “Fire and Water,” “Wishing Well” and “All Right Now” from Free and “Can’t Get Enough”, “Feel Like Makin’ Love”, and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy” from Bad Company.

Wilson and Rodgers were both trafficking in Nostalgia with a capitol N. Not Jeff Beck, the guitar icon who started out as a member of The Yardbirds before going solo with The Jeff Beck Group . That band included future superstar Rod Stewart on vocals and future Rolling Stones member Ron Wood , on bass. Beck has explored many paths in the intervening years including nostalgic 50s rock, fusion with keyboardist Jan Hammer , power trios with Tim Bogart and Carmine Appice from Vanilla Fudge and edgy electronica. His most recent studio album, Loud Hailer , is a mix of electronica angst, political songs and lacerating guitar solos.

Now at a spry 74, stalking the stage as if he was 24, Beck essayed music from across his catalog including a lot of covers that don’t sound like covers, but like songs Beck has made his own.

He had a killer group with drummer Vinnie Colaiuta ( Frank Zappa , Sting , Herbie Hancock ), bassist Rhonda Smith ( Prince , Chaka Khan , Beyoncé , George Clinton ) and cellist Vanessa Freebairn-Smith . Jimmy Hall , formerly of the southern rock group Wet Willie , handled the vocals.

Beck took the stage in a white sleeveless shirt topped by a black embroidered vest, aviator shades and his white Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster with the reverse headstock. Opening with his EDM influenced “Pull It” from his most recent studio album, Loud Hailer he musically announced that despite the old tunes and covers, this would not be a nostalgia set.

Becks’ sets these days are homages to his influences. He expressed his love of fusion with a cover of Billy Cobham ’s “Stratus” and The Mahavishnu Orchestra ’s “You Know, You Know” a slow meditative stop and go vamp that Beck fractured with crosscut bursts.

Beck is an unpredictable player. Picking with fingers instead of a plectrum, his solos are marked by squeaks and squawks, frenetic hammer-ons in the upper register and notes that sustain into infinity. Even in his most tender moments, covering Benjamin Britten via Jeff Buckley ’s “Corpus Christi Carol,” or Stevie Wonder ’s “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers” he’ll take it into unusual turns

Most of Becks set is instrumental but there were several vocal turns by Jimmy Hall, an overbearing singer with a lot of range, but not a lot of touch. He mangled “Morning Dew” which Rod Stewart originally sang so poignantly with Beck on Truth , and he tormented Hendrix’s “Little Wing.” Only on the encore of “Going Down” did he seem the right singer for the job. If Beck had only gotten Paul Rodgers to sing these songs, but I would’ve been happy with Rosie Bones .

But none of that mattered, because while Hall was singing, Beck was destroying it on guitar. The BB&T Pavilion was sweltering in the summer heat, but for about 90 minutes I was not conscious of that at all during Jeff Beck’s set.

‘Stars Align Tour’ kicks off in stellar fashion at USANA Amphitheatre

Beck is revered as an all-time guitar hero and after witnessing Wednesday’s performance it’s easy to see why. On stage, Beck may be a man of few words, rarely talking to the crowd, but he expresses himself with thousands of notes — and it’s a compelling conversation.

It’s no easy feat to carry long-term fascination with lots of fully instrumental material, which comprised about half his set, but Beck had no problem doing so. The first four songs — “Pull It,” “Stratus,” “Nadia” and “You Know You Know” — were all instrumentals. Part-time singer Jimmy Hall finally made an appearance next on “Morning Dew.” Fans were in such a reverie at that point that it was almost jolting to have someone actually singing.

In addition to Hall’s part-time presence, Beck was backed by a stellar trio of musicians. Rhonda Smith was flat-out amazing on bass. She mostly stayed toward the back, but had a showcase solo out front during “You Know You Know” that was incredible. Drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and cellist Vanessa Freebairn-Smith were also excellent in their own rights.

The Biggest Milestones In Jeff Beck's Illustrious Career

The sudden and unexpected death of guitarist Jeff Beck in January 2023 (per The Guardian ) came just as his career was entering a new phase. Just months before, he had released a new album, "18," in partnership with Johnny Depp after several years of collaboration (per Billboard ). If that particular endeavor was somewhat tarnished by the controversies surrounding Depp's personal life, it didn't alter the overall popular perception of Beck, whom The Telegraph once referred to as the guitarist's guitarist.

The esteem with which Beck's peers held his work as a musician did not translate into a comparable measure of fame with the general public. While the names of other guitarists who first came on the scene in 1960 reached everyone's lips, Beck's was often well out of the limelight. But that was as much by his own choice as it was the whims of fate — he rejected offers that might have brought him more fame and fortune and focused instead on experimentation and variety with his playing. His range and talent made him an influential force behind many trends in rock, pop, and jazz throughout his career, despite his relatively low profile.

He hopped around bands early in his career

Jeff Beck, real name Gregory Arnold Beck, was born in Surrey on June 24, 1944, and took to the guitar young. According to Loudwire , he was so enthusiastic about the instrument in his youth that he tried to build his own more than once before finally getting a loaner. He took his passion with him to the Wimbledon College of Art, where he played with numerous bands in short stints that would typify his later journeyman behavior as a professional musician. According to Peter Buckley's "The Rough Guide to Rock,"  Beck bounced around four different groups while at Wimbledon. Among them was Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages, and Beck's work for them can be heard in their single "Dracula's Daughter." But his tenure with them was short, as it was with the Rumbles, the Crescents, and the Bandits.

Beck demonstrated his changeability during this time as well. Per Annette Carson's "Jeff Beck: Crazy Fingers,"  he was first exposed to R&B during this period and went all in on it. He was so swept up by the new sound that he formed his own R&B group, the Nightshift. The band gained a measure of fame and collaborated with a young Tim Rice on the single "That's My Story," but Beck continued to play with other bands, and the Nightshift eventually fizzled out. R&B remained an attraction, compelling Beck to join the Tridents, but he wasn't long with them either.

He came to fame through the Yardbirds

Jeff Beck's early musical wandering while at college built up his reputation among rock 'n' rollers in the early 1960s, per Annette Carson's "Jeff Beck: Crazy Fingers."  It also put him on a career trajectory with uncanny similarities to another skilled and versatile guitarist: Eric Clapton. The parallels only deepened when Beck was chosen to replace Clapton as guitarist for the rock band the Yardbirds.

Beck's presence radically altered the Yardsticks' reputation. Per The Guardian , they went from a bluesy group to the cutting edge of rock and pop. He experimented frequently, generating new sounds that often anticipated their more widespread and popular use by later groups. Among his innovations was making use of feedback, a technique he stumbled upon by accident. "We played larger venues," he told the BBC , "and the PA was inadequate. So we cranked up the level and found out that feedback would happen. I started using it because it was controllable – you could play tunes with it."

For all his influence through and over the group, Beck's membership of the Yardsticks was tenuous and often unhappy. By his own admission (per "Crazy Fingers" ), his temper could be ferocious, brought out by faulty equipment, unenthusiastic audiences, and the rigors of touring. After a particularly intense spat that resulted in a smashed guitar, the other members of the Yardsticks had enough and arranged to part company with their guitarist. Beck's stint with them came to about two years.

His hit solo single was a mixed blessing for him

After leaving the Yardsticks, Jeff Beck toyed with the idea of leaving music altogether. According to the BBC , he said as much at the time. His seriousness in declaring such was undermined by how quickly he found new work. Beck fell in with music producer Mickie Most, who encouraged the guitarist to produce something popular. While Beck felt that Most showed very little interest in the type of recording he wanted to do, the producer's success and influence convinced him to put out a solo single.

"Hi Ho Silver Lining" was first released in 1967 (per Rolling Stone ) and was a big hit. It placed on the charts again in 1972. But the pop tune's content and popularity did not sit easily with Beck. He didn't enjoy providing vocals for the song and told Making Music magazine (via Martin Power's "Hot Wired Guitar: The Life of Jeff Beck" ) that singing was embarrassing for him. Divorced as it was from his preferred musical explorations, he continued to have mixed feelings for "Silver Lining." At times, he said it wasn't such a bad tune to be associated with; at others, he referred to the song as "a pink toilet sink hanging around my neck for the rest of my f****** life."

The (first) Jeff Beck Group helped pave the way for heavy metal

For all his renown within guitar and rock circles, Jeff Beck's efforts to have a stable group of his own were not successful. In 1967, less than a year after his departure from the Yardbirds, he formed the Jeff Beck Group (per The Guardian ). After a few bumps in the road, the band's lineup was made up of Beck on guitar, singer Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Wood, and drummer Micky Waller (per Classic Rock ). And after a few initial tours, they put out their first album, "Truth."

Classic Rock called "Truth" the holy grail for rock band debut albums, though Beck saw it as no more or less than another record release. Largely made up of covers the group had honed in live shows, it was an eclectic mix of musical styles and a herald for the emerging heavy metal sound. Among those influenced was Led Zeppelin, who shared a manager with the Jeff Beck Group. Indeed, when Led Zeppelin released their first album a few months after "Truth," the two had a song in common: Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me."

Among Beck's initial obstacles in forming the band were his personality clashes with potential members. The Jeff Beck Group were often at loggerheads, and tensions rose during a U.S. tour according to the BBC . The band fractured in 1970 after releasing just one more album. A second Jeff Beck group was similarly short-lived.

His switch to instrumental music was a game changer

When the first Jeff Beck Group split up, Jeff Beck himself didn't have long to consider its impact on his career (per Britannica ). More pressing was his recovery from a serious car crash in 1969 (via The Hollywood Reporter ). After recovering, Beck tried to reform the Jeff Beck Group with a new line-up but enjoyed little success with it. According to Ultimate Classic Rock , he could have become part of the Rolling Stones — he auditioned for the legendary band. But besides considering himself a poor fit, Beck's musical interests were shifting.

His follow-up to his two short-lived Jeff Beck Groups would be "Blow by Blow," an all-instrumental solo album. It wasn't done entirely on Beck's own, and among his collaborators was producer and arranger George Martin of the Beatles . With a small group of musicians and Martin's arrangements, Beck's guitar essentially replaced the part kept for a lead vocalist throughout "Blow by Blow," and Beck would largely follow that template for the rest of his career.

"Blow by Blow" was not only a hit record in 1975 — it was celebrated for being a successful fusion of rock with jazz. But the very thing that won it praise was something Beck expressed regret for years later. Speaking to Guitar Player in 1989, he said that he wished he had never done the album, considering the impulse behind fusion akin to mixing badly-matched flavors. "I wish I had stayed with earthy rock 'n' roll," he added.

He and Clapton came together for The Secret Policeman's Other Ball

Coincidental parallels kept Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton connected. Both came up in the same musical environment, and both served as guitarists for the Yardbirds. The connections, however, didn't make for a lasting friendship. Beck, per Classic Rock , was sure that Clapton resented him for assuming his role with the band and being a part of their growing success. The Yardbirds' tour of the United States with Beck, he suspected, was a particularly raw nerve for his predecessor.

Despite this assumption of rivalry, Beck and Clapton would go on to collaborate for an Amnesty International benefit concert. The Secret Policeman's Other Ball, held in 1981, was a development on earlier comedy benefits in Britain (via Annette Carson's  "Jeff Beck: Crazy Fingers" ). Funnymen were still on hand, but the program was expanded to include pop and rock acts. Among them was a jam session by Beck and Clapton, both of them shredding through multiple covers.

The rivalry softened over the years. Carson described them as friends in her book, and Beck conceded to Classic Rock that Clapton's perceived jealousy subsided with time. When a documentary was produced on Beck, he told Rolling Stone that the one part that brought him to tears was Clapton's praise.

He contributed to film scores and soundtracks

Jeff Beck wasn't afraid to retreat from the spotlight. After achieving massive success with albums and tours throughout the 1970s, he disappeared for the better part of three years. "The pitch I play at is so intense that I just can't do it every night," the BBC quoted him as saying. When he came back on the music scene, it was often in partnership with other artists.

Some of those partnerships were done on behalf of motion pictures. One of his more prominent film jobs came in 1988 when, according to  "Jeff Beck: Crazy Fingers,"  he lent his guitar and face to the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle "Twins." Beck played a bandleader strumming country tunes and recorded a cover of "The Train Kept A-Rollin'." Beck's recording of "House of the Blue Danube," done with impresario Malcolm McLaren, was used in the trailers for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" two years later.

In 1990, Beck was asked by composer Hans Zimmer to contribute to the score of "Days of Thunder" (per "Crazy Fingers" ). Beck claimed not to have enjoyed the assignment, recorded in four days, and none of his playing was on the soundtrack album. But it did make it into the film itself.

Jeff Beck reunited with an old bandmate for a hit single

By his own admission, Jeff Beck could sometimes have hostile relations with bandmates. Rod Stewart, the lead vocalist of the first Jeff Beck Group, put some of that down to Beck's inadequate efforts as a leader. "It was all about the music, as far as [Beck] was concerned," Stewart wrote in "Rod: The Autobiography."  "He appeared unconcerned about how the band's financial affairs were being run and about staying on top of things on behalf of his musicians." The mismanagement of money sometimes left Stewart with no cash on hand for food, and Beck was stingy with affection for his bandmates.

For his part, Beck told Guitar World that there were jealousy issues on Stewart's part. But Beck could be glib about the relationship. When the latter was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Beck was asked to say a few words. According to "Rod Stewart: The New Biography"  by Tim Ewbank and Stafford Hildred, Beck told the crowd that he and Stewart "have a love-hate relationship. He loves me and I hate him."

Despite such comments, the two remained on fairly good terms, and in 1983, they reunited for a cover of "People Get Ready." The song, first performed in 1965 by the Impressions (per Ultimate Classic Rock ), was a minor hit, led to additional recordings between Beck and Stewart, and featured on a Grammy-winning album.

He recorded with famous names as a journeyman guitarist

Jeff Beck kept busy throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but he couldn't be said to have a stable professional home. He was something of a journeyman, playing guitar with and for various artists and groups while taking periodic and lengthy absences from the scene. AllMusic names some of these collaborations: A 1980 recording with Jan Hammer, an album produced with Nile Rodgers and featuring Rod Stewart's vocals in 1985, the lead guitar part for Mick Jagger's "Primitive Cool" in 1987, and the same role for Roger Waters' "Amused to Death" in 1992. Beck's own output included "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" at the end of the decade, and he recruited Stevie Ray Vaughan for the accompanying tour.

Many of these artists would be quick to pay tribute to Beck after his death in January 2023. "[Beck] was one of the few guitarists that when playing live would actually listen to me and respond," Stewart wrote on Twitter . "Jeff, you were the greatest, my man." On the same platform , Jagger called Beck "one of the greatest guitar players in the world."

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice

Twice in his career, Jeff Beck was honored by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, albeit for different achievements. The first time came in 1993 when the Yardbirds were inducted. Per the Hall of Fame's website , members from throughout the band's short but impactful time were brought in for the ceremony; besides Beck, guitarists Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were in attendance. The happy occasion didn't pass without Beck offering a facetious comment on the band's past tensions. In an acceptance speech (via YouTube ), Beck noted he had done other work and added, "Somebody told me I should be proud tonight. But I'm not, because they kicked me out. They did. F*** them."

Beck's former bandmates seemed to take his flippancy in good humor, and in 2009, it would be one of them, Page, who introduced Beck as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his individual work (via the Hall of Fame's website ). Page offered effusive praise for Beck's work in innovating on the possibilities of the electric guitar, and Beck seemed in a more sentimental mood as he accepted the honor. "I've been very naughty all my life, and I don't deserve this," he said before going on to thank friends and colleagues. Not that sincerity stopped him from offering a middle finger to those who hadn't supported him.

He dabbled with electronica when he returned to albums

The 1990s saw Jeff Beck make another turn into a new musical genre. After experimenting with rock, jazz, R&B, fusion, and pop, he decided to dive into electronica. In 1999, he released the album "Who Else!", his first collection of original material in years. It wasn't all Beck's work; according to Ultimate Classic Rock , he was only credited on three of the songs. Most of it was written by Tony Hymas, Beck's keyboard player for many years, and Beck was happy to acknowledge the contribution.

"If this album does anything, I shall be so pleased I stuck with loyalty to [Hymas's] writing," Beck told Fuzz magazine in Sweden (via Guy Guitars ), adding that keyboardists were the people to turn to for fresh content. The collaboration and the resulting sounds were apparently enough to satisfy Beck, as he continued to pursue electronic music in his records until 2003.

Public perception was another matter —  Rolling Stone gave "Who Else!" a largely glowing review, while critic Robert Christgau declared it a bomb with a simple icon (via Christgau's personal website ). But the album did fairly good business; one assumes, then, that Beck was pleased to follow Hymas' lead after all.

From Brian Wilson to Johnny Depp

The last stage of Jeff Beck's career began with a fresh collaboration. He teamed with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys in the 2010s for a series of live shows (per the BBC ). The tours were meant to promote an album the two had performed on, but the record wasn't finished when the tour began, and the chemistry between Beck and Wilson didn't come to much. In interviews with Mojo and Classic Rock (via Louder ), Beck complained of being pressured into promotional efforts, being denied time off even for medical procedures, and of a lack of communication and support from Wilson.

But as that partnership deteriorated, Beck found another: Johnny Depp. He and the actor-guitarist struck up a friendship following the tours with Wilson, and from there, they moved into musical collaboration. Beck and Depp's proved a happier relationship, and after playing together at the tail end of the 2010s, they recorded and released an album, "18," in 2022. Their time together coincided with Depp's highly publicized conflict with ex-wife Amber Heard, a fact that sometimes colored perceptions of their album. The Guardian's review of "18" dismissed it as an exercise in self-pity on Depp's part. But Beck and Depp remained on good terms until the former's death in 2023, and Depp was allegedly among the last visitors Beck received (per People ).

Jeff Beck, Rock’s Quiet Guitar Virtuoso, Dead at 78

Jeff Beck , the blues-rock innovator and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who revolutionized how the guitar is played, died Tuesday at the age of 78.

Beck’s family confirmed the former Yardbirds guitarist’s death Wednesday. “On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing,” Beck’s family said in a statement. “After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family asks for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.”

Beck, an eight-time Grammy winner, was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — both as a member of the Yardbirds as well as for his work with his own Jeff Beck Group.

“ Jeff Beck  has the combination of brilliant technique with personality,” the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell wrote when Beck placed Number Five on Rolling Ston e’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists . “It’s like he’s saying, ‘I’m Jeff Beck. I’m right here. And you can’t ignore me.’ Even in the  Yardbirds , he had a tone that was melodic but in-your-face — bright, urgent, and edgy, but sweet at the same time. You could tell he was a serious player, and he was going for it. He was not holding back.”

But Beck would no longer be in the band by the time the film came out. He quit in November 1966 after an illness and suffering a breakdown. In 1967, he recorded the pop single “ Hi Ho Silver Lining ,” a track on which he sang lead vocals, that became a hit, while its B-side, “ Beck’s Bolero ,” foreshadowed Led Zeppelin as it featured Page and bassist John Paul Jones accompanying Beck alongside the Who’s Keith Moon and pianist Nicky Hopkins. That same year, he founded the heavy-blues focused Jeff Beck Group, which featured singer Rod Stewart and future Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood on bass. The group issued two albums — 1968’s Truth and 1969’s Beck-Ola — and turned down an appearance at Woodstock before Beck disbanded the ensemble, leading Stewart and Wood to join Faces.

“Jeff Beck was on another planet. He took me and Ronnie Wood to the USA in the late 60s in his band the Jeff Beck Group and we haven’t looked back since,” Stewart tweeted Wednesday. “He was one of the few guitarists that when playing live would actually listen to me sing and respond. Jeff, you were the greatest, my man. Thank you for everything. RIP.”

When Beck reemerged, he had moved on from blues rock to instrumental jazz-fusion. His 1975 album, Blow by Blow , was a surprise hit, reaching Number Four in the U.S. and going platinum. Beatles producer George Martin helmed the album, and Beck later credited him with salvaging his career. “I thought, ‘This sounds like we’re playing in the room — it’s clear and fabulous,'” Beck later said of the sound of Blow by Blow . “That first album was a joy.” He supported the record by touring with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1975 and releasing Wired , a collaboration with Mahavishnu keyboardist Jan Hammer, the following year. He took a few years off and came back with another Hammer collaboration, There and Back , in 1980.

Perhaps worried he’d become doomed to guitar-nerd oblivion, he teamed with Stewart again on 1985’s Flash album for a cover of “ People Get Ready, ” which became a hit. That album’s “ Escape ,” an instrumental, won him the Best Rock Instrumental Performance Grammy the following year. He’d earn another Grammy four years later with Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop With Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas .

“I was glad on the one hand that guitar was still king,” Beck once said of the Eighties. “[Guitarists] were flying a great flag for the guitar. …  I had every respect for Vai and Eddie Van Halen. Great. Let them have that. As long as it doesn’t encroach on my style — and it didn’t — I was happy.”

He spent the rest of the Eighties working as a guest musician, adding solos to albums by Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, and Jon Bon Jovi. But he had trouble replicating his success as a solo artist for decades. The Nineties found him bouncing from rockabilly on 1993’s Crazy Legs to techno, on 1999’s Who Else!

Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil added, “Jeff Beck always comes to mind. He’s an incredibly proficient guitarist, but he isn’t Mr. Pedant. The late Seventies to late Eighties were full of guitarists who were preoccupied with technique, like the guitar wasn’t a voice but a tool to be mastered. Jeff Beck wasn’t that way — he used it as a microphone. He was confident.” (In that same feature, Beck credited Django Reinhardt as his chief inspiration.)

In 2009, 17 years after Beck was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Yardbirds, he delivered one of the greatest induction speeches of all time when he reentered the Rock Hall for his solo work. “Someone told me I should be proud tonight. But I’m not, because they kicked me out. They did. Fuck them,” he quipped at the 1992 ceremony. “I couldn’t believe I was even nominated,” Beck  told  Rolling Stone  at the time. “I thought the Yardbirds was as close as I’d get to getting in. I’ve gone on long after that and gone through different musical changes. It’s very nice to hear that people have been listening.”

Although Beck made his initial mark in the British Invasion and pioneering blues-rock, the virtuosic guitarist continued to push his musicianship into other genres, from jazz fusion to trance (“ Rollin’ and Tumblin’ ” with Imogen Heap) to orchestral rock (2010’s  Emotion and Commotion ) to heavy metal; in 2022, he appeared on  the title track  of Ozzy Osbourne’s  Patient Number 9 . “Having someone like Jeff Beck play on my album is just incredible, a total honor. There’s no other guitar player that plays like him and his solo on ‘Patient Number 9’ is just jaw-dropping,” Osbourne said at the time.

Steven Van Zandt, who recently performed with Beck and Depp, paid tribute to Beck on Wednesday, and wrote, “Not only was he a major influence, and his genius an infinite source of joy my entire lifetime, he was in great spirits when we spoke a few weeks ago having done a flawless show with Johnny the night before at the Capitol. Unreal.”

As a solo artist, Beck also remained prolific and vital: He won seven of his eight career Grammy Awards from 1989 onward, including a dominating streak of wins and nominations in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance over the first decade of the 2000s.

Musicians continued to pay tribute to Beck on Wednesday evening. “Always and ever,” Clapton wrote on social media with a photo of Beck performing. Rush members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson also paid homage, with Lee posting that “he was my personal favourite guitarist, someone who truly blew my mind from then ‘til now. Lifeson shared later that evening that “Jeff Beck’s playing made me smile and made me cry and made me try to be a better player and most of all, made me and countless others seek the ultimate expression of who we are as players.”

“Jeff Beck was a lovely man with a wicked sense of humour who played some of the best guitar music ever to come out of Great Britain. He was a superb technician and could strip down his guitar and put it back together again in time for the show,” Paul McCartney wrote on social media.

“I’ve never made the big time, mercifully probably,” Beck told Rolling Stone in 2018. “When you look around and see who has made it huge, it’s a really rotten place to be when you think about it. Maybe I’m blessed with not having had that. And I have to look at it that way.”
