Clapton famously said "How do you follow that"?! Others here denigrate this by comparing it to various versions sung by famous tenors, but Pavarotti loved this version, and specifically asked Jeff to play at his memorial service. Check out "Where We're You" from "Live at Ronny Scotts." Same vibe. Rick Wright of Pink Floyd fame asked that it be played at his funeral. Much to David Gilmour's chagrin, Beck was Wright's favorite guitarist. Hell, to be honest, Jeff was almost every famous guitar player's favorite guitarist. As Jimmy Page said during his induction speech for Jeff into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, "There's Jeff, and then there's us mere mortals." 'Nuff said.
While Jeff Beck is a guitar virtuoso this is not the way to hear Nessun Dorma, you have to listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing it. Seriously it will send shivers through you it is godlike.
Brilliant. What an odd thing for him to play. Shows that music crosses all boundaries. A bit like Brian May playing God Save the Queen from the top of Buckingham Palace.
Never heard this before, I really enjoyed it. I adore opera so this was interesting, but I think Pavarotti, among others, would blow your socks off. So tighten your laces first! Thanks Mr.S 🤗
Ah man..what a surprise! had no idea you were gonna go down the Jeff Beck rabbit hole..Here with Nerada Michael Walden on drums (legend in his own right)and the great Rhonda Smith (ex -Prince) on upright(double) bass. With the greatest respect , may I suggest 'You know You Know' (live in Tokyo) by Jeff Beck with Rhonda on bass and Johnathan Joseph on drums.Written by John Mc Laughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), it's an exercise in 'space between the notes' and knowing where you are when playing.Incidently, Jeff's guitars are always 'plugged in' with an old-fashioned lead plugged in somewhere, and he never uses a plectrum, fingers only on his Fender Strat , extracting some beautiful noises..thx man :)
Excellent, first time I've seen this 👍 you should react to the 3 tenors performing it at Italia 90. Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras, it was amazing, slightly better than the Paul Potts version 🤣
Yo squirrel.. big fan of your work.. early subcrber.. when you watched my hero Bernard Manning.. I clean his grave.. can u try an listen to a band called the Macc lads.. you don't have to do it online.. they are a tad riscky.. but v funny..

I saw Jeff Beck and was here ❤️ he could play twinkle twinkle little star and it sound great
Though he's had 50 years to do so, he surpassed Hendrix decades ago. As Joe Perry said "There's everybody else, and then there's Jeff Beck."

jeff beck is a master of guitar no doubt on the top 5 for ever love him 😍😍😍
Absolutely Beautiful
For anyone that hasn't heard it, listen to the operatic version by Pavarotti... you'll be amazed!
Yes, the guy who made it famous was Luciano Pavarotti.
So Spiritual
While Jeff Beck is a guitar virtuoso this is not the way to hear Nessun Dorma, you have to listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing it.
Seriously it will send shivers through you it is godlike.
It was good to see Ronnie Wood of the Stones appreciating it too.
Brilliant. What an odd thing for him to play. Shows that music crosses all boundaries. A bit like Brian May playing God Save the Queen from the top of Buckingham Palace.
It's like losing Luciano Pavarotti all over again. What masterful tenorship on that guitar.
Jeff Beck may make his guitar sing, but listening to some of the real opera stars sing this piece, blows this away
4:30 seconds, Bill Murray!dressed up like Jimi Hendrix!

The 3 tenors in Rome ... José Carreras · Luciano Pavarotti · Plácido Domingo

If you love guitar playing, David Gilmour playing Sorrow live at Pompeii.
Dave Gilmour is a legend.
Paul Potts Britain's got talent
its from Puccini's opera Turandot
Opera written hundreds of years ago.

Now react to pavorotti’s version. 😳
Ma il mio mistero é chioso in mi
Il nome mio nessan sapra,
No no sulla, boccio lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera...
He's playing opera with his guitar....that's all....
Andrea Bocelli made it famous

Puccini
