Jeff Beck's Performing This Week...Live From Ronnie Scott's DVD has hit #1 on this week's music DVD Soundscan charts! Released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on March 31, this DVD had a debut of #2 last week, and was released simultaneously with a Blu-ray installment (which charted #20 this week).

"Seeing Jeff achieve a number one DVD chart position for his debut DVD, just after it charted at number two in its first week, gives me a tremendous sense of pride, " states Mike Carden, President of Operations North America for Eagle Rock Entertainment. "We are thrilled to have been able to present Jeff in one of the best performances of his career. Thanks to the efforts of all at Eagle, Fontana, and the retailers who believed in the project. Lastly thanks to the consumers who bought the DVD and the CD"

Featuring the guitar great backed by bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, and keyboardist Jason Rebello, with guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Joss Stone, and Imogen Heap, Performing This Week... has garnered rave reviews and has quickly become a fan favorite. This follows the success of the companion CD released in November 2008.

Along with chart success, Beck has been recently honored with an induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his influential contributions to rock music and his unmatched guitar prowess. His current North American tour kicked off April 6 in Scranton, PA.
