Jeff Beck - How High the Moon

Enliven.tv An Enliven Entertainment Production, this was a 8 camera shoot recorded at the tiny Iridium Jazz Club in NYC. This was Jeff Beck's tribute to Les Paul, on what was to be Les's 95th birthday. Backed by the Imelda May Band, this is a stunning performance by the greatest living guitarist.

Rest in peace, Jeff Beck! You were in truth an innovator in the ways of playing the guitar, and one of the truly marvellous greats.🙏🙏🙏

[@chasbodaniels1744]

I’ve seen this a few times, and the chills happen on each view. Brilliant players (and singer) right there.

[@snapfinger1]

Out on the patio having lemonade with Les & Mary.

[@grahampfielding3855]

OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!

[@ianharwell7500]

Just illustrates, once again, that Jeff could do anything on the electric guitar - any style and any era and utilising every technique "under the sun".

[@johnjump1104]

And in keeping with your point on style versatility/adaptability... Check out Patient #9 by Ozzy Osborne. It came recommended to me on Apple Music app after I had just played JB "Wired" album in its entirety. Gotta say... I hadn't been so excited to play a new song by Ozzy since before the tragic death of Randy Rhodes. I felt like my teenage self again hearing JB with Ozzy for the first time. Jeff plays his parts on that song like Playing guitar for Ozzy is all he knows and he knows it well!! I discovered that album only a couple of weeks before the world had to say goodbye to Jeff Beck. 😢

[@rorshakks]

She's a great singer and Beck hits it note for note and also employs his signature extra-original nuances. Best cover of this tune I've heard yet.

[@garytitone853]

Jeff Beck R.I.P. Be it if Jeff was playing his own compositions or far too many classics to name here, Jeff was as unique as anyone that ever picked up the guitar. May the glorious tones Jeff gave us remain high as the moon.🙏✌️🕯️

[@BCRification]

Amazing!! What a tribute to Les Paul & Mary Ford!!! *****

[@marybotkin7297]

RIP Jeff. You’ll be greatly missed.

[@eleonoraclark5091]

One amazing Jeff Beck moment!!! RIP 🙏😞

[@TheToocold]

I met Jeff Beck back in 1969. He hung out and showed me a guitar riff. What a Guy! Listen to him! Lovely. I would like to send my love to him and Imelda May. Like Mary Ford reborn.

[@Pookiepup1]

Wow! Jeff Beck and Imelda May do a great version of this classic. I didn't expect The vocals to approach Mary Ford.

[@elliothagen9874]

She's great

[@ZOGGYDOGGY]

Agreed.

[@Magnetron33]

El Perfecto!

[@nhb1234]

Beyond words! Amazing!

[@torchwoody58]

I expect 'tributes' to fall far short, but this is so good! A real tribute to what musicians owe to Les Paul.

[@Blueforlifefry]

The lovely Miss Imelda May with the brilliant Mr Jeff Beck singing a song by the legends that were Mr Les Paul and Miss Mary Ford

[@lagunamangano]

I just found out about this woman 20 minutes ago and I love her already. This song brings back some great memories for me.

[@Steez51]

All the greats know Les' importance to their trade. I stumbled upon this and was amazed at Jeff's rendition. Stunning!...But that's just Jeff

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

Jeff does whatever he wants. OK this was his childhood dream. Done. I do not see anybody else around who could actually make the originals more interesting except these guys. Imelda is a Love-Love!

[@barryrose5294]

RIP Jeff Beck…one of a kind

[@nancyl2]

Short but certainly Sweet. Jeff Beck in a different delightful vid. the vocals sung so beautifully and the Band all making sweet sounds of yester-year one of my Fave' guitar sounds of Les Paul and the sound of Mary Ford singing in that awesome dubbed-over duet. Chillingly Masterfully done. THANKS for this musical Gem.

[@vicrattlehead8779]

I saw them play this live at the Fillmore in S.F. simply amazing, and 'walking in the sand' was fantastic as well. in fact the entire show was +11

[@jsexton54]

I was at that concert also. It was a good one !

[@ralphchristianson]

This was superb rendition of a great tune, Les Paul would be pleased I am sure.

[@tedcabana]

I dont know how they came together, but Jeff and Imelda made the best duo ever. I was relly hoping they would do more together.

[@finddeniro]

1950s...Fun Playing and Singing...Toe Tapping - - Finger Snapping..

[@narvul]

What a great hommage....!!

[@Pacoamadeus]

Imelda May she's beautiful!!!! Bravo Jeff!!!

[@avjake]

I fell in love with this tune while editing an anniversary video this Summer, found the Les Paul and Mary Ford All Time Greatest Hits CD at a garage sale a few weeks later, then stumbled over this while watching Jeff Beck tunes on youtube. Life seems pretty good at the moment!

[@OZRIC1985]

What a great tribute to the legendary Les Paul! :)

[@googas]

There are people that have Midas touch, Jeff Beck is one of them!

[@mjcouceiro]

uau!!!! exactly like the original (Les Paul and Mary Ford - 1951)... This is a stunning performance, as above said... What a great tribute!

[@richdys]

Beck is the bomb. . . love this track.

[@Magnetron33]

My God! what an incredibly accurate cover of my favorite LP & MF song! Great vocals!

[@EnragedSlash]

that lick from 1:43 is great! Les was indeed a genius. and Jeff fits this cover very well!

[@patriciaboogaerdt2998]

With the fabulous Imelda May..

[@strato77181]

Quel talent !!!! Et Jeff Beck ....Un des meilleurs guitaristes au monde.....

[@iamafroggy]

A wonderful tribute and done very well.

[@kernow234]

Wonderful I so enjoyed that ....

[@teerexness]

"Best/greatest guitarist" = endless argument, thankfully. Let's just enjoy the enormous palette created by so many wonderful guitarists.

[@annarks70]

wow!!! she sounds just like Mary!!! Excellent!

[@barrymitchellretroman]

Pure class.

[@chrisjohnson1308]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dimeldahawklord7811]

There is no dark side of the moon now that we have Imelda!

[@kevinbodey5592]

I'd never heard of her😮 😲 Wow what a voice.

[@sbringez]

The crowd is insane! ^^

[@coelhocointech9841]

Jeff beck plays this like he owns it..

[@john9944]

I love Jeff's playing and always have. However, I love to hear him do impressions of other players. This Les Paul impression is spot on. I also really like his impression of Cliff Gallup. This is a really clever guy.

[@ParaBreakdown]

Excellent!!

[@kolamjr]

OOOOHHH YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! thats what its all about, thanks for sharing!

[@martinmills3812]

Jeff Beck took my place in my group in Croydon in 1962 when I was in France. They promised to pay him £10 but only paid him £5 so he left the group. So my claim to fame is that I replaced the great Jeff Beck in a band.

[@petermainwaringsx]

Very good, and pretty close to the way Les & Mary did it. A pal and I were planning to fly to New York and visit the Iridium so see Les play. I believe he used to play there on a Tuesday night, Unfortunately we left it too late and I've regretted it ever since. "Procrastination is the thief of time" is so true. Just do it!

[@leoseries57]

Excellent tribute!

[@ralfmulde7723]

Great! Thats how the song is made for!

[@GREENGENE18]

Rip Father Jeff. Condolences to friends & family...

[@tana-pg9sc]

Back to the golden Oldies..!

[@jerryklooster438]

Just beautiful

[@Ronalyhotham]

I'm back in the 50s!!!!

[@steviepaulson1753]

Beck out lived, out played, out recorded &out toured the top 5 guitarist on the planet. He's been my idol since "rough & ready" & when Rod was fronting the Jeff Beck group. Jeff turned down the Rolling Stones while working on "Wired" with George Martin... Npt many guitarist can say that, aside Mick Taylor who felt he did his tour of duty...

[@IAMINT]

Quit Hating!!.. Imelda is Amazing, i've seen her live twice and she is incredibly!.. Love Imelda out with Trolls!..

[@reneematte8426]

Thanks Enliven Entertainement via Jeff Beck & Imelda May for this great tribute to Les Paul & Mary Ford : magnifique duo ! 🎸✿¸.•'**☆ ☀🎸🎤🥁╰⊰✿💖♪

[@fofdeejay]

Wow,this was my father's favourite when He was still alive. Still have his Les Paul guitar,I believe it was a Gibson Les Paul. And he could play this song too,gives me a thick throat.

[@aaronjwoolley]

doesn't get any better

[@aethelwulf8753]

MMmmm Nice Work, Jeff really did listen to Les Paul, though I never doubted it

[@jyonno]

I never thought anybody could do a Cover of that Song! There was only one Mary Ford,until this Lady came along!

[@makjac46]

Great to see the respect from the young, Les Paul and Mary Ford were part of the evolution of music. Same goes for tape recorders, electric guitars and microphones. Love to hear Tommy Emmanuel's version, wow.

[@mikemahne2503]

Goosebumps

[@DANIEL64700]

Une pure merveille !!! Bravo !!!

[@Gotblade]

Smokin! ❤️

[@kimmie1100]

[@fossie32]

Great tribute :)

[@teerexness]

The big "Enliven" floating ad really adds to the ambience, doesn't it? Nothing makes you feel like you are there quite as much as floating advertisements popping up all over the video.

[@WayneCasey25]

Woah this is amazing.

[@solan417]

First video I watched after hearing about Jeff Beck RIP

[@jeffreypaxton3637]

If my memory serves me corretly, I never saw a comment about Les Paul ... but no pity here loquayrocks, I am well aware of the GENIUS of Les Paul ... very much so ... THX

[@coolmamac]

[@RichardNixonsHippieRemoval]

Drummer kicked in that little splash to emulate Paul's kicking the amp to rattle the tubes.

[@alexchejlyk7764]

Excellent!
