Jeff Beck To Play 'Super Gigs' With Eric Clapton

Jeff Beck, who will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, has announced two gigs with Eric Clapton.

The pair will perform together at Japan's Saitama Super Arena on February 21st and 22nd.

Beck assumed Clapton's role in The Yardbirds in 1965 when the guitarist left the group.

The two shows in Japan form part of Beck's extensive spring tour of the Far East, which also includes a series of shows in Australia.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Beck is one of five acts who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in April.

Metallica, Run DMC, Little Anthony and the Imperials and Bobby Womack will also receive the honour.
