The bass solo from Tal Wilkenfeld just blows my mind. I always get a big smile watching, and so does the rest of the band.

They are all good, but I really like that they did Stratus and Scatterbrain! I played in a short lived trio that did Stratus. Great tune. Nice and groovy, fairly easy to play.

Yep, those shows were awesome. I would have sold an organ to be there.
Vinnie is definitely one of the greats, Tal is very gifted (I think she'd only been playing for a few years when these shows happened!) and they make a world-class rhythm section, no doubt about that.

Is Robert Plant the only celeb. y'all spot in the crowd? Or, did I miss anyone else? Bet it was tough to get tickets to that!

It’s been awhile since I watched the whole concert, but I remember seeing Jimmy Page as well.
I gave that out as Christmas presents some years ago.
theres a bunch of celebs in the audience(s), not just Plant. Page is in there, Brian May, Ron Wood I think. been a while since I watched it. I really liked Imogene Heaps too... Blanket & Rollin' n Tumblin'

Yeah, Imogen was great, as always.
The original 'Blanket' with Urban Species has always been a big favourite of mine.

and maybe better yet.....
listen to it at least once.... they release the power of the old 60s-70s jam tunes. not polished, but clean, and power... the drive is wowzer, you wish you were there. watch it to at least the 3 minute mark
Page was one of the guys interviewed in the extras stuff they put on the DVD. he said like something... he is phenomenal, you really have to see him to believe it

The greatest filmed concert performance of all time IMO of course, and yes Tal is a incredible talent She had only been playing bass a few years when she did his I believe.

The quick expression when she looks up at Jeff -- before the big smile -- "how'd I do?"

Exactly.

That's a great show and LP! Tal is a little taffy on bass...
Not to change the subject (I did, I'm sorry...), but has anyone seen Rhonda Smith with Jeff? I was blown away by her solo from the Live In Tokyo as well...

@dasherf17 I like the song in the video you posted. Is it new, or do you know if it’s on any of his albums?

It's a piece written by John McLaughlin appearing on Mahavishnu Orchestras debut album The Inner Mounting Flame. The album has a killer line up including Billy Cobham and Jan Hammer. It's not on any Jeff Beck album, but there's a few more live renditions out there.

...aaahhh, yes it is...Jeff Beck's Live + LP, CD...it was after Ronnie Scott's....Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie), is on vocals...he does wonderful versions of Morning Dew and A Change Is Gonna Come...
I also was blown away by the opening track, Loaded...a great show opener.

I have watched this on youtube several times, and I know I’ll watch it again. I really enjoy watching a band that is having a good time together. And, the music is pretty pretty good.
