I’m lying here in tears. Beck has crossed over the River❤️RIP Brother. This was one of my grandparents favorite songs. As a young Boy in the mid 60s. They would play this often. Jeff Becks Guitar Work on this is so Heavenly out of this World. Soaring. To see Clapton by his side and singing this classic song. You could tell Clapton was mesmerized by Becks take on this. Very moving emotional moment in time🇺🇸

...funny, I just saw an interview with Clapton and he doesn't know where that nickname came from...

[@pcatful]

This isn't what I would have expected from Clapton in those days though. Well done and well intention-ed, yet it could have ended his career if he did it in those days. A great song done by Andy Williams, but totally in a different realm in those days. You watched Andy Williams with your parents, not your girlfriend. Well suited for whammy bar and reverb certainly. Very American tune for a couple of Brit blokes.

Lol, for years I've been trying to find a version of this song that feels good, amazingly all I had to do is look to the artists whose music I grew up with instead of listening to all those hundreds of old classic recordings of this song without much luck. Damn, it was right here all this time. I should have known, lol.

Awe well these guys are musicians and they are doing what musicians do. Playing music

[@jjsmith475]

A number of years ago a tv series used the Andy Williams version of this masterpiece of composition and emotion. I was immediately struck by it so unexpectedly. I knew of the song before then but hadn’t taken time to stop and really listen. So my hearing it in full accidentally is a wonderful thing. This year, which is about to end, I lost my twin brother the beginning of April. My dear mother passed on two months later at an amazing 91 years old. And thirdly, my wife loves huckleberries. So it is this song which makes me think of each of them all at once… instantly, intensely and so emotionally. I also happen to be a musician and guitar player. To have stumbled across this, not ever knowing Clapton and Beck had even ever done this, and to hear them doing it, for the first time in my life is overwhelming. I’m so very grateful to them, Mr. Mancini, Mr. Williams, and the documenter of this and the poster. If I write any more I will collapse, so thank you, and I hope and pray for everyone to have peace this year. As a race we are in a desperate situation. Let’s be good to each other despite our differences. James K.

[@marysalvi242]

@jj smith much love to you & for you, 💞this is powerful isn't it & with losses in our personal lives & my association is when I was singing this song as a young teen, my father was the one who is the one who came to me, he was still alive, a good man who for me I wanted love to be shown that he couldn't (of course now being 74yrs that's why I think he came to me through the song), honestly hearing this the beauty of the tones, I do wonder still, "why you daddy?) and does it matter, nah, man, your words to all of us is part of the magical moment of this version, whatever powers that be, yes let us all take what we're feeling & share our vulenerability by the emotion of love. Thank you for your love & know you did put more of peace out into the universe ~ now I must stop, whew & be grateful overwhelmed in this moment. ~hugs~

I still can't get over Jeff Beck's passing. I've been watching a lot of KZbin videos of his performances and it amazes me how he can take a simple melody and turn it into something spectacular. This tune is a perfect example. He sticks to the melody, doesn't deviate from it, and doesn't throw in any flashy gymnastic, pyrotechnic playing like a lot of other players would when they get bored with just playing the melody. And yet just listening to him play like this, sounds amazing. RIP Mr.Beck.

I remember summers on Cape Cod, playing outside at night at my parents friends house. All the adults were inside talking and dancing and the kids were outside playing. They would ALWAYS play this song. I remember it drifting out the window, through the soft summer night air and it gave me a funny feeling inside that it STILL evokes to this day, fifty seven years later. That is the mark of a GREAT tune!!!

EmmausRoad , well written little story, beautiful.

Timeless song ... sweet memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@telerooo5213]

We are all sooo... Lucky, to have lived in a time, a period, when there has been so many, such great expressive musicians, especially guitarist for most of us. I know how lucky I have been to have seen so many of them perform Live, many times, through out their careers... WOW!!! I'm just blown away....It's ... JMHO......

Jan 10th 2023. R.I.P. JEFF BECK MAKEING MUSIC IN HEAVEN

[@fordsrestorations970]

Andy Williams had such a big hit with Moon River that it is still remembered till this day....and here are two masters to prove it's true. Thank you boys

[@tyronewhitehead3123]

Jeff and Eric both phenomenal guitar players ,seen both live when their playing it’s Spine tingling . Rest in peace. Mr Beck.

[@chrisjohnson1308]

What a beautiful cover of a classic, linking yesterday to today. Those who we have loved and lost are never gone, as long as we remember them, and listening to music like this brings them closer. Thank you for sharing this…

[@christinedalporto1992]

SPECIAL....beyond mere words....no matter the language >>>>

[@margmcmillan]

Beautiful love this music, so peacefully done, brings back fond memories, thank you

[@nidranrebreski2828]

Oh my god! What a great guitarist by the name of Jeff Beck. The most underrated.

[@1badhaircut]

“Under-Rated” ... he’s playing lead-guitar for Clapton !

[@lisadc4681]

Under rated????? Jeff Beck?? Sorry but do some research!! One of, if not the, most renowned guitarists of the 20th century and now.

[@nidranrebreski2828]

​@@lisadc4681 How many Jeff Beck concerts have you attended, including people you know? Can you even remember where he last played? Jeff Beck is well respected among all rock musicians but he was never able to get the recognition and fame of Clapton, or Jimmy Page, for example. That's why I said "underrated." For me he sits at the top Glad to see you love him but not like I do. Believe me.

[@jaminjemsroaminroman4193]

2 guitar hero’s ~sharing the spotlight -total artist respect’ -class act - what a treat esp for all lifetime fans in this classic …roCk oN

[@TrishBell1]

This is absolute perfection. I have been a Radio jock on all genres of music. Currently I host a Sunday morning internet Nostalgia show on KABL, playing Andy Williams (Moon River) and the likes, and Saturday evening I host a Rock and Blues internet show on KZAP (playing Beck and Clapton and the likes)...this combines the two genres unbelievably. Rest in Peace Jeff Beck.

[@violaleeblues9018]

This never gets old. I just love it.

[@Marcie-xm2gl]

What perfection from the best of my generation ❤

[@papycrabe3137]

mine too

[@janhensley3617]

RIP Jeff Beck. Thanks for the music. Be well Eric Clapton 🎶

[@robertdegruchy160]

Breathtaking, soulful...A couple of maestros breathing new life into an old chestnut of a song...thanks Eric and Jeff the music transcends his untimely passing...

[@barbaralemere5183]

Beautiful rendition. Heartfelt and Soulful. A new romantic classic to dance to with your honey.

[@scottsummers684]

Hey C'mon people, really?!...only 5 million views in more than 10 years, these two legendary guitarists are just the two of the best and greatest of all time...!!!

[@J.A.Hansen]

its so wonderful that it makes me cry,thinking about my parents that passed away.They loved it💧💧and i do too.Thank you Jeff and Eric🙏 God Bless You

[@GerryRed7]

Only one man can cause Eric Clapton to become a rhythm guitarist.... he is Jeff Beck!

[@leonardroemer7796]

Or Mark Knopfler

[@fliteskinaeroscale5222]

good point man, never thought about it

[@tomvaudrey6068]

Well whose going to sing? Cause Jeff cannot sing for shit lol.

[@13NashRocks]

Don't agree. No one I'd rather hear play guitar than Eric Clapton. No one.

[@darrellsomers5427]

Or Mark knopfler

[@VINO9411]

I feel blessed to have seen both of these legends live a few times. RIP Jeff Beck

[@andretremblay]

Surprised that a couple of rockers chose this song but it's a great one beautifully performed!

[@arvind030892]

No one mortal should have any right to be this good at making music. There is Jeff Beck, and there is everyone else.

[@jennapuhl596]

MOON river is so old!! Beautiful

[@davidlamb7524]

@@jennapuhl596 1961. Not so old really. Henry Mancini who was not a young man when he wrote the tune, died in '95. Audrey Hepburn who first sang it died in '93 at the age of '63. I suppose if you are young, 50+ years ago seems very old but there are many songs much older than that which are still popular.

[@markciessau7192]

Andy Williams version is way better, any thought otherwise is foolish.

[@stephaniereno1341]

Whoops there is Slowhand then Jeff Beck😍

[@primakurien6765]

[@vickilee7494]

Another friend lost his son to drug addiction today this gave me some peace.

[@bobguerrin5419]

Great music is just great music, just as great musicians are great musicians. At 70 years of age having grown up listening to this just sends me back in time.

[@מקסיםבןחיים-צ2ר]

What a beautiful combination Eric with a mercyfull voice and Jeff with a great string touch. Thank you for the this classical joy

[@amandab3564]

I was fortunate enough to see them during this tour in NYC. I am especially grateful since Jeff's unexpected passing. A legend.

[@karenreardon5398]

You see John, a beautiful song is timeless no matter how old we are🤗. I'm 66 too but have loved this song since I was a child. ❤️

[@yang5159]

A beautiful karoake song which we love to sing like " My Way"

[@sallygomez8799]

Beautiful rendition, brings tears to my eyes. Their guitars sing for them🙂
