Jimmy Page Inducts Jeff Beck Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Here’s A Treat: Two Guitar Greats Jammin’ Together!

Geoffrey “Jeff” Arnold Beck started with the English rock band The Yardbirds. The group was known for being the “stepping stone” of other two famous guitarists namely Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. It’s incredible that all three of them have made it to the top 5 of the “100 Top Guitarists” list by The Rolling Stone magazine. Beck also formed two other bands: Beck, Bogert & Appice and The Jeff Beck Group.

• Described by The Rolling Stone magazine as “one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock”
• Recipient of the British Academy’s Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music
• Inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: as a solo artist and as a Yarbird member

Much of Beck’s recorded output has been instrumental, with a focus on innovative sound, and his releases have spanned genres ranging from blues rock, Hard Rock, jazz fusion, and an additional blend of guitar-rock and electronica.

During Beck’s induction as a solo artist, one of the musicians who paid tribute to him was former bandmate Jimmy Page. They took the stage and performed “Beck’s Bolero” (which is a Jimmy Page composition), “Immigrant Song” and “Train Kept A Rollin’.”

“Jeff’s guitar style is totally unorthodox,” said Page. “He just gets better and better.” — The Rolling Stone

+ “Train Kept a Rollin'” LYRICS +

Aboard a train, I met a dame
She was a hipster
Man a real gone dame
She wasn’t pretty
For New York City
As we strut down on that Ol’ Fairlane
With a heave and a ho
Well, I just couldn’t let her go

Get along
Sweet little woman, get along
On your way, get along
Sweet little woman, get along on your way
With a heave and a ho
Well, I just couldn’t let her go

The train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn’t let her go

I made a stop ’round Albuquerque
She must’a thought, I was real gone jerk
Got off the train at El Paso
A’ looking so good I couldn’t let her go
Get along
Sweet little woman, get along

Well, the train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
The train kept a rollin’ all night long
With a heave and a ho
Well I just couldn’t let her go
