No more now. That talent has left the earth : (

@@A_Chicago_Man I know ..... what a tragedy......

Something tells me you never shut up.

👍I'll go as far as saying Jan Hammer is my favorite MUSICIAN. I also saw the original Mahavishnu Orchestra back in '74 The Jeff Beck "Wired" tour, twice......and the Jan Hammer Group touring in support of the LP "Melodies".....

Saw Mahavishnu live in Paris, another musical level, plus great Billy Cobham.

HEAR HEAR from somewhat south of the north pole. That man has his own brand of cool on a level where no one even dares to sound inspired by him!

Seriously. It's like they're musical mirror images of each other.

Yes!! Blow By Blow, Wired and then Live Wired!!! Sweet.

There and Back is a grossly underrated album, imo. Everyone knows The Pump from Risky Business, and many know this song but the whole album is great.

index finger...

@@leonardtunstad3884 Initial Index with the bird shortly following. Hit the slow mo and you'll see it mate. Cheers.

The compliment of course, was because of that nice drumroll that the drummer played to perfection.

@@paulturnet4572 Indeed, Paul.

I had never noticed that before, but now I will see it and laugh every time!

So sad.....

Beck and Hammer Felder and Walsh Clapton and Whitlock best duos in all of music

Prog rock heaven.

it's the surface area of the thumb. That and the strat... that is a large part of it. Mastering it all.. well. Different story.

And Jan Hammer can make a synth sound like a guitar.

A lot of doubling between the synth and guitar happening throughout. Hammer is a master of guitar-style licks. Probably the best ever. His apparently idle left hand is always subtly busy manipulating the pitch-bend and modulation controls to closely emulate the guitar stylings.

I love Jan Hammer. Actually I love both these musicians.

Happy birthday Jan Hammer, keep on jamming!

Bacterial infection ? Wtf Jeff

.🎶👁️👃👁️🎵

Not enuff said

Tru dat!

THIS VERSION IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL, A LITTLE BIT SLOWER IN TEMPO........... BUT OH, SO WONDERFUL!!!!! I'M REALLY DIGGING IT!

Soo good to see him on a stage again!!

Jan Hammer has had a great career spanning back into the 70's starting with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Jan has played with the best in the world and collaborated with Jeff Beck, Neal Schon, Stanley Clark, to name a few, plus doing the music for Miami Vice. Jan Hammer is well known in the music industry. He has one problem. He's afraid of flying which has hindered him from touring a lot with a lot of bands including his own.. Jeff Beck has always spoken highly of Jan, saying that he influences his own playing. Checkout his website - pretty cool.

Jupp! Jan Hammer is the hammer!

he does pretty well, scoring so many shows and movies. This is a pay cut. Believe me

Insane, fabulous!

And for MANY years, I thought Simon Phillips played drums on Star Cycle. I was wrong, it was Jan! WTF!? LOVE IT STILL.

Dude, it blows my mind!

You should hear the original!

@@overrooftops I have. I had There and Back on 8 track

This is typical of JB's bands: tight as a frog's ass but _loose_ -- feeding off one another, smiling & laughing & teasing each other in a way only people can who are confident, relaxed, & enjoying working & playing together.

EXACTLY.....🎸🎸🎸🌿🌿🌿

Hmmmm, My initial comment was not the whole truth...what a band!

What is the keyboard he's using there?

Absolutely sick riff. The way he plays over the changes is inspiring.

Yes!!!! "Timeless" with guitarist John Abercrombie and drummer Jack Dejohnette ECM 1975

YEAH same here mate i think Robin Trower was on the Monday night and JEFF was on the Wednesday same week..Festival Hall.

Likewise - I saw that same tour in Sydney, February 77 at the Hordern Pavilion- Beck and Hammer brilliant and I believe Beck joined Trower on-stage at Trower's show in Sydney Feb 77😊🎹🎸

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY !!

Shawn Pierre, you don’t play with talent like this if you can’t take the heat…

A very lot are technically way better - J-Beck was/is always overrated. 50%+ of his performances based on using all kinds equipment technic/special noisy sounds/effects and top mixing. Rest is common oldschool blues/rock-scales and chords, not very progressive. He always takes top guest musicans with better musical skills than he has, most songs are old covers so you can`t do antything wrong or take a risk. But have to say he is/was a very good bandleader and knows how to arrange old stuff and modernize it.

@@carstenmanz302 what an absolute loser you are.

@carsten manz: your opinion is blown to atom by the opinions of every signifiuant guitarist from Hendrix to McLaughlin, and practically every musician who was privileged to work with JB. You are a pathetic litle troll with negative musical taste, knowledge, or sophistication, & the best thing you can do for the benefit of those of us who can distinguish between the magic of JB & the dross of 95% of the _other_ guitarists of the past _sixty years_ ls crawl back under your rock & STF up.

Yeah they were playing along, versus this is being driven

@@wjhandy Jeff had the rare pleasure of playing with someone as mad as himself.

The setlist at Ronnie Scott's was much _jazzier_ & not as _rocky_ -- so the ensemble there was perfect. I just went back & re-listened, and the styles are radically different, but the musicianship is every bit as superb. After all, R.S.'s is a premier _jazz_ club.
