@#$%& Rod. He's called for too many reunions and backed out of most of them. Love ya Rod, but you can't be trusted and you've ruined a lot of things people really would have loved to see. Too little too late, and I don't trust a word out of his mouth. Loved his musical output though from like 68-75. Untouchable.

Agree, sad - but mostly true. When Rod speaks of 'reunions', it's mostly bo****ks ... because he does indeed pretty much always back out, and they NEVER happen !
You're full of s**t Rod, sorry matey boy !!

I saw an interview once with Jeff, he said him and ROd have a love / hate relationship...Rod loves me and I hate him.
Yes he is and that is probably what will happen as Rod has really not gotten over losing Ronnie to the Glimmer Twins .Quote

Oh don't worry, he will...
probably the day after The Stones announce their 2019 tour.
What a tool.

As a Rod S. fan, I think that unfortunately everything depends on money, with Rod it is like that!

Link to Rod's Rolling Stone interview with Andy Greene cited in original post:
The Last Word: Rod Stewart on Fatherhood, Jeff Beck and His ‘Breaking Bad’ Obsession
The singer also reveals that he’s never cooked himself a meal and hasn’t even considered launching a farewell tour

Precisely for this reason I believe it will never happen!Quote

There's no money in a Jeff Beck reunion. Jeff plays smaller venues than Rod. The Small Faces would have the same issue, because it would involve smaller venues than either Rod or Ronnie are used to playing. There is so much money in playing shows that Rod's management would talk him out of it even if he wanted to do these reunions.

That quote was Jeff describing the 84 tour with Rod which started in Vancouver, played a handful of shows down the west coast before Jeff quit in Oakland! They did do an awesome job on People Get Ready.

They performed together at the El Rey Theater in L.A. 2009 at the first of two shows.
Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart - Live at the El Rey Theatre
I was there the second night right up front/center, but Rod was a no show. Instead we were "gifted" with John Mayer which actually wasn't bad as they played a nice version of Hendrix's Manic Depression. And Joss Stone sang a tune.
From Rolling Stone: Flashback: Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck’s Surprise Reunion
"Shortly before the show, Stewart got a phone call saying that Beck was hoping he could come down to sing a couple of songs with his band.
Beck feigned complete shock when Stewart came out to sing a cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “People Get Ready,” but they’d actually run through it a soundcheck.
“It was really @#$%& great,” Stewart wrote in his memoir Rod: The Autobiography. “By the end Jeff, bless him, was in tears and we gave each other a big old hug.”'
