The first of two tribute concerts to the late Jeff Beck was held last night, Monday 22 May, at London’s Royal Albert Hall, with Beck’s widow, Sandra, and fellow Yardbird alum Eric Clapton bringing together a spectacular all-star lineup to celebrate his life.
And it really was a celebration. Just check out Robert Randolph’s Instagram for an idea of what it was like to be on that stage in front of a capacity crowd. Here we are with Rod Stewart getting down to a band that features Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II, Billy Gibbons, Gary Clark Jr, and Ronnie Wood on electric guitar. And who’s that right there at the back? Oh, just Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Incredible.
