Jeff Beck with David Gilmour - Jerusalem (Live at RAH, 2009-07-04) 

I see videos of insanely fast, clean shredders all the time. For 30 seconds I'm impressed, then I'm bored. What I never get tired of is guitar playing that tells a story and gives voice to some emotion. After 49 years of listening to David Gilmour, I still get blown away every time I hear him play.

RIP Jeff. You were probably the most talented electric guitar player to walk this planet. Certainly one of the most innovative and creative, who always thrived to push the limits of the electric guitar. May God welcome you in His Kingdom. You will forever be remembered down here.

Sweet mother....Beck and Gilmour together. Two of the most expressive and emotional guitar players in the history, coming together. This is just unbelievable

Can you imagine being there? You're in the Royal Albert Hall, feeling lucky you got a ticket to see legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, and thinking life can't get any better. Then you see a familiar form walk onto the stage from the shadows, carrying a black Strat, and you realize it's legendary guitarist David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Then you think to yourself, "Lord, just take me now, because life can't possibly get any better".

Man who created the genre of his own. Man who was the guiding light for the others. Man who proved that you can get better and try new ways at any age. Man who didn't try to get all the money and fame in the world. Man who knew his strong and weak sides. Man who was humble and let his partners shine. Thank you for all your music and inspiration. RIP, Jeff.

This man has been the greatest talent for the last 50 years.. Long Live the great Jeff Beck

I never expected this video will hit 1 million views! I want to thank you all! :) So many people with good music taste :)

The way Jeff filled in for David as he adjusted his pedal board was cool. Very generous playing.

These two have such great ears for tone, feel and taste - they simply are the best of the best! And while David isn't the technical wizard Beck is, his playing is just as astonishingly musical and beautiful. Gilmour can absolutely blow you away with three notes played in just the right place, in just the right way.

David Gilmour is solid proof that fast shredding isn't what players should practice. Slow, meaningful lead guitar and great tone are far more pleasing the ears. .

this sounds like the music you would hear as you ascend into heaven

Man, David is so damn humble! And Jeff taking a bow in the end? Wow! That says a lot about how much they respect each other. Jeff is playing, having big fun, while David seems to be loving it, but still focusing not to fail, like: "I just can't be messing things up around Jeff..." 2 monsters, 2 of my favourites, enjoying the world of their own. 🎸❤️🙏🎼🎧🎤🎹

beck and gilmour .... kings of feel and tone

Two of the five guitarists that convinced me to learn to play and experiment with the guitar. RIP Mr Beck 🌛

Gilmour is in awe off Beck and Beck is in awe Gilmour... 2 absolute greats of all time, on stage... Oh to be there

Great choice of song. Jerusalem is actually in England!

I just stumbled across this when reminiscing about Jeff Beck, and it made my evening. Playing along my all time favourite David Gilmour, and playing one of my favourite tunes. Could not ask for more. RIP Mr. Beck

I think they simply have nothing to prove to each other and just enjoy this moment :)

My heroes leave us one by one. I hope to have the chance to see David once more. I missed the chance to see Beck, such a sad day.

Two of England’s outstanding guitarists playing... Jerusalem.

7 years later, RU-vid finally suggests pure bliss.

Everyone, just about everyone, wanted to play with Jeff Beck, and he completely spontaneously dominated. But he also appreciated the others.

There’s Tal again on bass, always with the top acts.

Perfect! It just doesn't get any better than this. Two Gods amusing themselves!

Brilliant collaboration. Two of my favorites. RiP Jeff

2 angels while playing 🎸...... Have a nice trip, Jeff 🕯️🎸🖤

Just what was it about this generation of musicians? They're all in their 70s or no longer with us. They remain the most popular and are still the biggest draws on the live circuit.

David Gilmour ..... a true legend!

So much mutual respect between them. You gotta love it, both class acts!

Both of these men have brought me great musical joy to my life and I will certainly miss Jeff Beck. I can't thank him enough!

Danm, i could listen to this duo all day long

Space the most important part of any music.

I can't believe this, stunned 😢 to hear Jeff is no longer with us, left a comment here recently bout how Jerusalem is one of my all time fave. Rest in Peace Master Guitarist Jeff Beck🙏🙏🙏🇨🇮☘️

R.I.P. Jeff Beck... 😪

Oh my god, I didn't realize it was Jerusalem at first. beautiful. Edit: I was sent here by the algorithm so I didn't see the title.

Ho voluto riascoltare questa melodia per ricordare questo gigante.....Rip Jeff🥹

Two of the best right there, and David once said in an interview when pressed to name his favorite guitarist....Jeff Beck. I'm sure there is some reciprocal admiration from Jeff, awesome to see them together.

I'm glad the other members of Pink Floyd were too afraid to ask Jeff Beck to take over for Syd. Cause we got Gilmour out of it.

Nobody plays like Jeff Beck. I've been playing for nearly 50 years. Heard them all and played along with the masters. Trying to play with Jeff was like trying to play with Jimi's or Roy Buchanan records. As Clapton said he just pulls the sounds out of the air.

This is fine wine...it just gets better with age ( and wisdom )

This is right up there with Chris Cornell and Layne Staley singing together

I am so sad at the loss of a guitar god - cannot express in words how I feel

Genius at work.

RIP Mr Jeff Beck. so sad you're gone. What a privilege to see these 2 great guitarists perform, albeit by youtube video

Two of the most brilliant and great guitarists in the world...❤❤

Arguably the two most natural players ever. Born to it and you hear it in your soul.

a sacred musical union..in a sacred place in this universe.....

Jeff is so humble as he shakes Gilmours hand at the end...The guitar God of my day..Jeff! You Rock! 🙏

who needs words when you can create that much emotion from the guitars of two masters of emotion playing what is arguably the greatest emotional tune ever.

Two of the best guitarists on the planet on the same stage. The twin towers of touch

“And in those days.” If you can’t mix Rock and Classical Music including a hymn, and appreciate the zeal that these men have invested their souls into a radical approach to the appreciation of good music then all contemporary music is either dead or the audience died many years before Jeff did. And Jeff is currently collaborating right now behind those Pearly Gates with all who has gone before. Blessings sent. And Dave thankyou as well. It must be The Greatest Gig in Heaven right now and I’ve got to go. Please let me in!

Hearing these 2 play together...is such a treat.....then playing this song.... I don't know another version of this song which is more beautiful than this......if it is out there....someone say so.....this is it......

These two could play the alphabet and I'd listen to it all day. I'm in awe

Both humble .... so they see each other as an equal instead of a competitor. What a lovely piece of work!

I went to a concert several years ago and there were several rock mega guitar stars there including Beck. I don’t want to turn this into a bash the rock star comment so I won’t use their names, but Beck blew them all away. His skill level and artistic skills were just so much more developed. He included pinch harmonics and the notes, feedback wise on his amp, to craft his phrases. I mean I still liked hearing several of the rock hits too but Beck took it to the next level. Gilmour was definitely an excellent artistic match with Beck skill wise and talent wise. Btw, Gilmour wasn’t at that concert I mentioned earlier. Hat’s off to these two ❗️

A legend is in heaven RiP

Both fabulous guitar players ,what a gift these guys have Rip jeff

It seems like everyone and I mean everyone, takes a back seat to Jeff Beck.

One of my great inspirations has crossed over Jordan to the promised land. We thank God for the 78 year-long "trips around the sun" that he gave to Jeff Beck.

The song Jerusalem is a popular hymn, sung in churches, schools, as the anthem of the Women’s Institute and at sporting events across England and many consider it to be the unofficial English anthem. Sir Hubert Parry wrote the music for Jerusalem. The hymn was originally penned as a poem by William Blake in 1804, but the lyrics were added to Parry’s music in 1916 during the gloom of World War I when the uplifting new English hymn was well received. It is a fitting anthem of democratic vision, aspiration and equality here in America also, in these turbulent times of hate and divisiveness.

This is what CAN'T be taught; GREAT TONE, GREAT NOTES, AND BEAUTIFUL PHRASING!

2 players with the best note choice in history!!

Theres no one like Gilmour..

Two lovely lyrical guitarists

The most serene and peaceful composition and presentation of this glorious music, thanks boys

RIP Jeff.... Thanx for give us your music...your legacy remains forever!!!

The older I get as a guitar player ( I’m almost 50, been playing since I was 12) the more I love to wail, and shredding has long since lost its appeal.

Living legends, already then. Now only one remains. There already were only a few of the greatest guitar players of all time who brought beauty in music through the instrument.

Seriously, i hope Greg Lake and Keith Emerson are listening from above. I got the chills from this.

people dont realize that not only is Jeff Beck & David Gilmour on stage but also Jimmi Hendrix(guitar strap) is also on stage, whatv a spectacular moment🙏🏻

Perfectly blended without losing each other's signature 👍🏆

Do people appreciate how lucky they are to be able to hear REAL ICONS of the electic guitar music, these two British stars are without any doubt the best in the world at what they do, in my opinion Beck is the best there has ever been .The greatest living guitar player in the world, many might disagree that he is the greatest that has lived naming other Americans such as Jimmy Hendrix, I have been fortunate to have heard them all live and believe there is only who stands out at that is the "hands of God" Jeff Arnold Beck.

The greatest tone makers of all time, together.

Two legends on one stage.

Jeff Beck just outplayed evryone whoever had the courage to share the stage with him...

Guitar gods unbelievable. This two can jam for days and I won’t get enough

Two of the most generous players on this planet

incredibly emotional.

This had to be such a Humbling experience for David.

Beck and Gilmour reminds me a good wine. The older they are the better they sound, hands down.

RIP Jeff, and thank you.

Just wow! It doesn't get better than this!

Jeff Beck and David Gilmour surely know how to make the guitar talk in melodies you will hear in your mind for a lifetime. Not the fastest ever, but the best ever.

Wonderfully Amazing!!

Had a pleasure to be on this concert, whats a experience, still got the goosebumps. RIP Jeff.

How did I not know until tonight that this existed? This is really beautiful stuff. Love how Beck and band left Gilmour his space, and Gilmour really played into it (and with Beck) beautifully. And of course Beck and band were brilliant. The two of them playing guitar together, well this might have caused some dust to get in my eye just now. Rest in Peace Jeff Beck.

Jeff Beck's intro is to die for!

This is the coolest fucking thing I have ever witnessed in my ENTIRE LIFE!

You're welcome :) What can i say - these guys really respect each other and Jeff sometimes makes funny things during performance, he has good sense of humour i think :)

I love how our folks favorites are being exalted by our favorite musicians. Especially since so many of us have been separated by our parents by death or distance... Many thanks to the person who shot this then uploaded this for us all. Thanks...

A classic example of "less is more"...supernatural..nuff said.!!

R.I.P. Jeff. The greatest guitarist EVER. 🎸🎸🎸⚘️⚘️⚘️🕊🕊🕊

And to think....pot is still illegal were I live! I just got an emotional high watching this

each have their own style of playing, and are one of the greatest guitar players we have. If there was a top 10 list... both are in it

If I had ever gotten to be there in person to see Jeff and David play together live, I'm pretty sure a random body part would've fallen off. Two absolute masters of the craft and art!

Was in tears

You can hear in this piece that Jeff Beck was influenced by Roy Buchanan. Such an amazing tone...

RIP man . Emotional guitar playing never gets old or boring ❤

Take your rest Jeff Beck, you have most assuredly earned it! Thank you!

Only recently Discovered that The late Great Cozy Powell Played Drums with Jeff Beck . May Heaven be their Eternal Bed ✌🤘☮☘😁☘
