Today, I watched a documentary about Jeff Beck: "The Jeff Beck Story - Still On The Run".

Most people that appreciate and love rock music know his name, of course. What I didn't know was how much he is revered among the rock guitar icons. Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton – all of them bow to Beck's talent and calling him the greatest rock guitarist since the 60's that nobody could ever come close to. What I also never really paid attention to was how much great collaborative work Beck did with other musicians and how many young musicians did he help along the way.

Overall, a really good film showing Beck's career developing from playing in the basement with Jimmy Page at the age of 13 (!) to Yardbirds' years to his work with Rod Stewart to jazz-rock years and so on until now, with no sentimental BS and irrelevant "juicy details" crap. Lots of great takes too. I will definitely re-listen to his music.

Here's the link to a trailer:
