The show will happen one week after the beginning of the filming, so either will be a quick travel or the schedule changed. * This will event will mark the first time in more than TWO YEARS Johnny will be playing on stage. The last time was on January 24, 2020 when he attended and performed with Alice Cooper as special guests during Aerosmith’s performance on the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year, at the West Hall, at Los Angeles Convention Center, in Los Angeles, California.  * This concert will also mark the first time THREE YEARS, Johnny will be a special guest on a Jeff Beck show.

It’s unknown if Johnny will be performing as special guest, just like he was on September 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 24, 2019.* As Jeff and Johnny has a collaboration album set to be released soon, based on the last songs they performed together they will play  their cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation”, his unreleased song “This is a Song for Ms. Hedy Lamarr” and their cover of ZZ Top’s “Hey Mr. Millionaire”. Or who knows a new song, such as Johnny’s sexy unreleased cover of The Velvet Underground “Venus in Furs” ? Either way, Johnny will probably join on stage in the middle of the show when Jeff starts to play “Rumble” by Link Wray. -- source link
