When a legendary guitarist is invited to play on a recording session, he or she is expected to make a noticeable impact on the song or album being recorded.
Bearing that in mind, Jeff Beck—as a session guitarist—has pretty much never disappointed.

Leider sind viele der dort zitierten Quellen in D nicht verfügbar. Ausgewählt sei hier aber ein tolles Fundstück: 07. Paul Jones, “The Dog Presides”; Insane Times (1968)
Here’s the Jeff Beck Group-era Beck sounding very much like his former Yardbird self on this song’s opening riff, fills and solo. The recording even features another former Yardbird, Paul Samwell-Smith, on bass.
That’s Paul McCartney on drums, by the way. No one seems to remember the barking dog’s name.

Sehr schön auch der Hinweis auf Becks Mitwirkung bei 10. The Pretenders, “Legalize Me"; Viva El Amor (1999)
At first, one wonders if Beck is even playing on this song—until just around the 2:14 mark, when he boldly announces his presence with one of his freakish trademark whammy-bar moves—and it only gets better from there.
