Jeff Beck — North Sea Jazz Festival, 2006

Full live concert by Jeff Beck at the North Sea Jazz Festival on 14 July 2006 at Rotterdam Ahoy, the Netherlands. The English guitarist who emerged with the Yardbirds and then the Jeff Beck Group, and who passed away in 2023, stands as one of the greatest instrumentalists in rock history. This filmed full concert shows him in an electric quartet with Jason Rebello on keyboards, Randy Hope-Taylor on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. The set unfolds a legendary repertoire: ‘Beck’s Bolero’, ‘Stratus’, ‘Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers’, ‘Led Boots’, ‘Scatterbrain’, ‘People Get Ready’ and ‘Goodbye Pork Pie Hat’. Between blues rock, hard rock and fusion, Beck’s guitar, all vibrato and harmonics, remains inimitable. A reference live performance, drawn from the festival’s official archive, to be rediscovered in full by every guitar lover. For any guitarist or lover of instrumental sound, this Jeff Beck concert at North Sea Jazz 2006 is a permanent master class, a living tribute to one of the greatest stylists the six-string has ever known and a reminder of his restless musical curiosity.
