Jeff Beck may struggle for recognition - but only amongst those who haven't lived through one of his live performances.

One of three Yardbirds guitar legends, alongside Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, Beck will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his own right next month. To celebrate he's releasing a DVD version of his 2007 residency at Ronnie Scott's, the CD album of which has been critically acclaimed.

Beck, who was shortlisted to become a member of the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, stands for sheer unadulterated quality - and as an illustration check out his current touring band: Tal Wilkenfield on bass, Jason Rebello on keys and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums.
