This death really hurts. Jeff was quite a creative guitarist who continued to get better and better with age. He always appeared to be in such good shape based on concert photos and videos. So this is a shocker to me.

I saw Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page together with the Yardbirds. The YB only gigged with that dueling lead configuration for a few months.

Jeff was a pioneer and will be sorely missed. RIP.

Surprising since JB seemed to be in the best shape of the ‘60s Brit guitar heroes. He’s one of those guys whose playing never plateaued. He kept getting better with age like you said. I saw a fairly recent video of him on tour with Johnny Depp and he sounded great.

Yep. When so many of these old rockers die, you look them up and realize they haven't played in public in 20 years and retired quietly.

Beck was playing shows with Johnny Depp as recently as last October.
