Jeff Beck pays tribute to Les Paul

Jeff Beck performed a tribute show to late friend and musician Les Paul in New York on Wednesday.

The rocker took the stage at the Iridium Jazz Club, a venue frequented by Paul, to mark what would have been his 95th birthday, says BBC News.

Paul, who died last August, reportedly played the club every Monday night.

Metallica's Kirk Hammett, E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt and singer Meat Loaf were among the stars in the audience.

Van Zandt said that the concert was "the best show I've ever seen in my life".
