Rhonda Smith at the Jeff Beck Tribute

[Dynacord]

I was surprised not to see Tal Wilkenfeld or Jennifer Batten (unless I missed them?)
Tal being on tour with Incubus as mentioned above would make sense if that was the case.

 

[HeavyJazz]

Electric guitarists on one stage, for one act: Two is company. Three is a crowd. More, is me headed to the exit.

...........
What are the controls on Rhonda's bass?

It's a Gary Grainger PRS.I'm going to guess:Vol,blend active/passive,kill,treble,mid,bass.

 

[Barticus]

She plays a PRS Gary Grainger signature model. We met her and Paul at Gearfest back in 2019, she's awesome!

Pino Palladino would have been nice, and of course Jeff's longtime relationship with maestro Stanley Clarke as well should have warranted appearances.

Were Jan Hammer, Terry Bozzio, Tony Hymas, etc there?

Totally agree - though was thinking about female players as Beck, like Prince, was fairly unique in supporting them. Friend Jill Avery also played bass with him in the 80's (can be seen in the movie TWINS).

So then:

Imelda May, Imogene Heap, Joss Stone, Beth Hart, Anika Nilles (drums), Lizzie Ball (violin)…

As for who was on the bill, we don't know what the availability of the folks mentioned was. As for Rhonda Smith, she was Jeff Beck's last touring bassist.

Anyone know when/where the Beck tribute is going to air?

I've seen parts of it on YouTube. It may all be there.

Don't be silly, it was a memorial show, not a regular gig. Would you say that about "A Concert For George" or other all-star events?

Where was Rod? He wouldn't have had a career if Beck hadn't grabbed him up from relative obscurity as just another struggling singer in the London club scene.

Hadn't seen that.

Tal only filled in for a few shows with Incubus. Nicole Row (ex-bass player for Panic at the disco) has been playing with Incubus recently.

 

[Thegreatzambini]

I hope it's the latter because if she wasn't invited that's a crime. That stuff at Ronnie Scott's especially showcased her really well and obviously she fit right in with Jeff.

Totally agree Ronnie Scotts was awesome, jeff beck was grinning from ear to ear during that show

Depp was Beck's bud so I can see him at the tribute, but Kirk Hammett?

and why cant Kirk be there? are tribute shows only open to close friends and family? Kirk cant just be a fan of the guys playing? Good thing Jeff Beck was a far more open minded musician than some of the people here.

 

[Tanner5382]

Would have been cool to see Ron Wood on bass too.

Someone had to play the wah wah parts....

Yeah, your right, I'm closed minded.

Yes what's up with the IPhone on Depps guitar? Afraid to miss a message?
