Saw Jennifer Batten at the Rock Hall tribute to Les Paul in Cleveland in 2008. She came out alone and used one guitar and looper to build all 8 tracks for Les' song Lover. No pre-recorded stuff. It was nuts. Lover was the first professional song Les recorded using multi-tracking. Recorded in Les' garage in 1948, it was done on acetate. No tape back then. Literally every recording using multi-tracks of any kind can trace the tech back to Les and that first recording.

I was at a clinic back when she was touring with MJ, and we asked her about the outfits. She said that it was part of the deal she had, that the tour producer and director could do whatever they wanted to modify her appearance on stage. She gave them an open ticket. That included peroxide hair and all the accessories. I have a picture with her of that night. One of my precious souvenirs.

I grew up in that era. Nothing can beat it.

I saw along side Jeff Beck at the HoB in New Orleans. He visibly appreciated her talent as much as me, it was obvious.🎭

Live solo gave me goosebumps 🔥

Apenas 1.900 positivos, para uma lenda, que admito, mal conheço, mas que por trabalhar com quem trabalhou, graças, certamente ao seu profissionalismo e a sua competência, é no mínimo, uma afronta ao bom gosto, à musicalidade em si!

Where is she now? I just wanna say THANK YOU to her.. Im fans of MJ since 80's. Now im 58 yrs old. And im lost from MJ. His songs still alive. To MJ we proud of you bro. Love from me to MJ.. 🇲🇾❤️

That's something actually badass I have witnessed in my life

Jennifer batten could play that solo in her sleep. She (along with Mike Batio and Steve Lynch) took tapping to the next level and beyond in the mid/late 1980s.

jennifer batten style was always my favorite. She 've hitted all the harminics perfectly

The extended solo in the last version is a treat.

She was Awesome when I first seen her with Jeff Beck, Wow what a show.

0:40 The nasty and theatrical face-off with MJ at the end of JB's solo. He stalked her off the stage but not before one last whole body flip-off from her. Golden performance.

One of the few times Michael was eclipsed. This solo IS the song Beat It. EVH forever!

She feels the music, awesome.

Wow lady you totally blew my brains out .... I love your style , I love people that are individuals and have unique looks like Johnny Winter , amazing playing you rock !!

If you have seen a video of her in recent years she looks like your kid's 4th grade teacher. Very personable and warm. A lovely woman.

incredible outfits, also the 2nd clip w her wearing the horns is a heavy version of the song live.
