As the final notes of "Cocaine" rang through Madison Square Garden last night, Jeff Beck quietly Rosetta Stone Spanish walked onto the stage next to Eric Clapton, sarcastically saluted his fellow guitar legend and launched into a jaw-dropping cover of Elmore James "Shake Your Money Maker." For the next 40 minutes the former Yardbirds guitarists traded licks on songs by everyone from Willie Dixon to Sly Stone to Henry Mancini as the sold-out crowd reached a state of air guitar nirvana never before witnessed by man. At the end of the night they bowed to each other, as if they had just completed a karate match. Forty years ago these two men — who are currently sharing the cover of Rosetta Stone — were widely regarded as the two greatest guitarists of their time.
