First video I had to come back to after Beck’s passing today. One of the greatest to ever do it, and the fact that he had the respect of Les Paul puts him in a league of his own. Rest in peace JB, and thank you for the indelible mark you’ve left on the guitar and music.

The genius shows up and looks like he just finished a round of golf, plays like no one before or since. No attitude, no bizarro outfits, no melodramatic body language......just shares his gifts with the audience. His modesty lets the talent shine even more brightly.

Jeff Beck has always acknowledged Les Paul as one of his heroes and influences. This must be one of the great moments of Jeff's life.

Les trying to pull Jeff's cable is the greatest! Lol. The ultimate "your too good!" compliment.

😭😭😭 Jeff Beck in guitar hero heaven RIP I had the immense chance to see him once in concert, and especially to have discovered his music, his unique playing. Jeff Beck you were by far my favorite living guitarist. You will always be by my side. RIP ❤😭❤😭❤😭

NO one pulls the plug on Jeff Beck!!! Unless your name is Les Paul.

I was Billy Squire's guitar tech in 82 and 83 and was with him when we shot this show in Santa Monica. In fact for that one night I was the guitar guy for all 3 players. What a thrill it was for a 22 year old kid! The poster is correct. The night before the shoot they were doing a run through and they got to the jam finale. It was amazing. So much better than the take that made the show. The only people in the house was the various crew people and we were mesmerized. Les chased Jeff around unplugging his guitar several times. Jeff detuned Les's Lester and all the while they just played their asses off having a grand time. It's a shame that rehearsal didn't get filmed. Thanks for posting this. I never did get to see the show. It was called "Rock and Roll Tonite".

What an opportunity to actually meet Les Paul! In my opinion, Les is one of the 20th century's biggest treasures as far as music and the ways it is played and recorded.. Thank God, Bing Crosby gifted him that Reel to Reel Recorder! Thank God's Mother for Les getting the idea to add a second record head! The rest, is Music History! Thanks Les!!!! Saw Billy Squire back in the 80's.. Think he may have been backing up Gentle Giant in Oklahoma. I think there were three bands that night, not sure who the third band was........

That work of art Les is playing must be a priceless collectable. Jeff always seems so at ease. Awesome show fellas. 👏

How wonderful to see the great Les Paul and the person who, as a teenager became enthusiastic when he heard and saw what Les Paul played. "THAT IS THE ONE FOR ME!" said the teenager, Jeff Beck, I want to play like Les Paul and have a guitar just like that one!!" said Jeff who tried to make one out of a fence post and wires. He could not afford a new guitar and came to school and sat on the floor of our class room and I do not know how he did it, but I heard blues notes come out of the Store Room. "Some day, Jeff, you are going to be famous I said to myself" But I was too shy to tell Jeff, as I was 13 years old. Cynthia Allen McLaglen

Watching Spinal Tap for the thousandth time. Really seeing Nigel Tufnel had to be based on JB. That gum chewing, the head bob. The virtuosity of playing at 11.

What's a wonderful moment in the Rock n' Roll history

Les un plugging Jeff mid riff and Jeff turning the tuning pegs on les guitar was classic. I miss the era of just jamming together, that's where new songs are born.

I hope this audience realizes how lucky they are to be in the same room with Les Pau, Jeff Beck and Billy Squire.❤❤❤❤❤

Since Beck's passing I have been propelled to look deeper into his body of work. I've always been amazed and moved by his talent, but it's even more apparent that his respect for and love of everyone he has collaborated with, adds to his incredible contribution to his art. I've never seen anyone approach playing the guitar quite like Beck did. His talent was unique - special, very special. He will be sorely missed. RIP...

THis is ART - kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGtt0smJnpabZ8o.html and the whole show is the best it ever got probably for Jeff

This was an enjoyable broadcast. In the middle of Jeff Beck's doing a flashy riff, Les Paul reaches over and yanks out Jeff's guitar cord, as if to say "Enough of that!". So later, while Les is soloing, Jeff gives him some payback, it appears by at least feigning to de-tune one of the strings on Les's guitar, and Les then swats Jeff's hand away. It was good to see Jeff and one of his heroes having fun playing together.

The Steve Howe, Les Paul jam is one of the best ever. Steve really honored Les by playing his original style perfectly. Les is God.

@@cyberfoxx2000 the Strat is a flawed design. The heel joint is just unforgivable. The best Strats are custom jobs with set necks. Plus the tremolo, if not blocked off with brass, absolutely kills the natural resonance of the body. Same deal with Kahlers, Floyds etc.

I've always admired his "career" path, in that he was given many opportunities to be a part of a few legendary outfits (Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, well almost) but chose to remain independent and follow his muse. Sharing the world's stages with everyone and anyone he chose, whenever he wanted to. Not a bad gig, huh? Jeff led a blessed life because he deserved it all -- and we all benefited greatly, as observed here. Rip Becky...but if there's a rock n roll heaven you probably won't!

l was in San Francisco's Great American Music Hall when Les performed with his 15 yr old son Rusty. He brought up a VERY BRAVE drummer from the audience to accompany. Les was introducing his Paulverizer that recorded 8 tracks in his guitar. The Final song with NINE guitars was PURE LES PAUL. After the show, he was just another guy. We were ALL out of breath to meet him Face to Face! He IS an ldol!!

Bluesy. Love it ..Earthly work Done..yet recorded..

Hilarious. He pulled the plug on Jeff beck

Beautiful video , I think Jeff Beck always loved Les Paul and searched for the limits of that marvelous sound in the most outrageous + wonderous sounds he beautifully found in his fingers ! A lifetime of kudos for both of these master of an instrument !!

Terrific video, Jeff looks so cool, what a combination, Les Paul and Jeff Beck. Heaven.

THIS IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. Jeff Beck heard and saw Les Paul, and said ,"That's what I want in a guitar!" when he was still very young and trying desperately, to find the instrument that would do what he felt he could use, to learn guitar. The way Les Paul used it was a real lesson to Jeff. Cynthia Allen McLaglen

It's hard to one up Jeff Beck. Les Paul is awesome.

back in the day when it was night jeff bought stings from my uncles music store back in the old country,

I've just listened to about 8 of these "with Les Paul" videos and each is a standout performance. Thank you, Les.

Beck played LPs early on and told Les that they started feeling too heavy when they were joking around (but he was only half joking because he really took to the whammy bar-obviously). That said, Les Paul talked about being friends with Leo Fender and exchanging ideas when they were designing guitars.

Great stuff right here! Thanks rknre!

It's pretty clear where Jeff Beck got the inspiration for many of the "tricks" he does on guitar. Les Paul was "a Leo Fender who was a fantastic musician." (Leo didn't play an instrument.) By that I mean that Les Paul, like Leo Fender, revolutionized the guitar, were compulsive tinkerers and experimenters, and helped make the guitar popular by creating instruments that could be played loud. Practically up until the day they died, both were still working on making their ideas into reality. Creative doesn't begin to describe it.

them two sure could do some of the most fantastic acrobatics on a fretboard

Jeff using a pick? I remember those days. He actually plays so much better now that he is just all finger-style. And God-Damn, no one can play like Beck. But anyway, Les was an immense influence on my playing and more players today should be studying his chops. Beck, Page, Clapton, all those innovators became who they are by studying the Master. LP!

RIP Jeff.

Un Les Paul actualizado a esa era. Es por que se le ha visto por cable en filmaciones de los 50' sobretodo y era su estilo tradicional. Pero en este jam estuvo más en la vena del ritmo y blues, y del blues rock.. . Ahora en el éter harán su jam Les Paul con Jeff Beck DEP Beck's

What a GIG!

the strat's hommage to Les Paul....

Beck comes out with a Fender....hilarious.

no they can play together in the Guitar-heaven

The great Les Paul and my favorite, Jeff Beck. The only way this could have been better is if Paul and Beck had of ripped off their shirts and started prancing around on the stage like Squire did in that infamous video.

Musicians that mouth or sing the notes........!!!!!!! Musicians playing enjoyment for them and US....!

Looks like Jeff is still playing with a pick.

Anybody know the title of the song instrumental being played when Les walks out on stage and he and Jeff improvize on it? It sounds a little bit like Cannonball Aderley's, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" , but that's not it. I own a Les Paul Studio guitar by Gibson.

Despite popular belief, Les did not design the Les Paul guitar nor did he invent the electric guitar. However, he did invent multi-track recording and lots more. He was an indispensable musical and electronic genius and one of the greatest guitarists of all time, just as Beck is. While it may sound heretical, in this deep Chicago blues-style genre, Beck is King and Les is not.
