I first saw this video just after it was posted and thought that it was a marvellous interpretation of Love Reign O’er Me. Nearly 10 years on, it remains exceptional. The genius and creativity of both Townshend and Beck shone through in the way that they traded licks, roles, and musical interpretations. I am sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing and regret that I did not appreciate his work more whilst he was still alive and performing.

When he wrote those lyrics and recorded "My Generation" with The Who in 1965, he had no idea how his musical range would expand and didn't know that some of his compositions would be so well-conceived that they would translate well to other musical formats beyond rock...

This is just part of an incredible catalogue of music written and performed by the Who. Awesome to see Pete and Jeff on stage together...with an orchestra no less!!! Rest in peace Jeff. You had a style that no one has emulated...yet.

@@TheEleatic Townshend is unique. Correct. Understated, but correct. He is one of Jimmy Page's favourite rock guitarists. Also correct. The feeling was not mutual. Incorrect, from an ability standpoint anyway. Townshend very much admires Page's ability in much the same way he admires Beck's. However, he loathed Led Zeppelin. Interestingly, so does Keith Richards. Also, I think Townshend had something personally against Page which goes back to the early days when Page wanted to form a group after his Yardbirds days were over and he tried to poach Moon and Entwistle from the Who.

Seems Page was trying to put together his version of Cream or something and he was talking to Moon and Moonie was making a joke about putting he and so and so together and it would go over like a Led Zeppelin. Thus, the name. It's Moon's. As for me I never care for Zep much myself. My reasons don't matter to anyone else but me. Life, the universe and everything.

Still feel heartbroken about his passing. The loss of him has left a hole in my heart cannot filled. He was the greatest player to explore all the possibilities that the electric guitar could hold, and a pioneer of astonishing virtuosity. Also he was a seeker who sought to fuse all the vibrations,tones and sounds that exist on earth with a single electric guitar, it’s voice transcending languages, traversing across cultures, unbound by musical genres. Really miss you so much, Jeff.

I can't think of anybody better to take Rodgers vocals than Jeff Beck. Thank you Jeff. Thank you Pete.

That's a funny comment because Townsend is notorious for doing just that when paired with other guitarists such as Phil Manzanera and David Gilmour. This pairing is so great because JB knows when to step back in a song, to let others shine. His songs with Lulu and Tom Jones are a great example. Objectively speaking, based on the ability to bring other young talented artists to the forefront like Tal, and the ability to shine in so many different styles, at least between the two here, Jeff Beck is clearly the master. Guitar playing isn't a pissing contest, but perhaps recognizing an artist's range and depth is. Oh, and GO HAWKS!
