Walmart is the place for everything execpt albums. Well not to rub it in but I have the extreme rare limited edition Japanese import 4 cd box set "The Yardbirds" made by ALFA Records, Inc. Tokyo Japan This Box Set is Mono/ Stereo and it has 2 books and a purple poster. It was purchased new in 1991. I believe I paid $150.00 at the time. It's slick as hell!
You are entitled to your opinion. but you know you are wrong. Jeff Beck is beyond greatness.He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He's still around to prove it.
@nicholasomesfilms Hun, you'd have to go to a Legitimate Record Store or order it online. I have a Double Disk Set from Rhino Records and it is amazing like they are. I think that they are next To The Beatles & Stones one of the most influential groups in British Rock. Also think about it, many of the Members are still working it. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck.
@FahQposeurfag Dude you know what i was talking about i mean they call cds albums now and in fact i have a Vintage Styx,Santanna,Cheech and Chong,golden earring,and led zeppelin II
@yrdbird I know what you mean. It's so hard to believe that one of the Co-Founders would create Led Zeppelin who of course is Jimmy Page. I don't know one person of the past 40 Years who didn't at least listen to Stairway to Heaven or Slow Dance to it. A DJ once said that if you slow danced to Stairway To Heaven with someone you loved, it was the greatest feeling in th world.
A great tune from '51 ,transition time between big band and rock and roll, when the brass component was being replaced by the guitar as the dominant sound and focus. Either way, hell of an upbeat song by Tiny Bradshaw. Jive, Rock, or Headbang. Whatever does it for you.. Rather like this particular cover a lot.
@Cielodrive have you ever listened to the led zeppelin version of this song?,that's the best cover ever of this song but it's a shame they never recorded in studio.
@randallisrandy No, they stole the chord progression from a band they played behind. They also used to play Fresh Garbage live. Uncredited covers are plagiarism. Jimmy Page is a servicable guitarist but is nowhere near as good as... I can name names if you like.
@randallisrandy Jimmy Page is a decent guitarist and I like most of his work. However, he is in no way shape or form the "greatest of all time." Especially since led's best known song was lifted from a band they used to open for!
@TheHuMoCa For me its Django Reinhardt (gypsy swing in the '30s and the first real guitar soloist), David Russell (classical guitar) and Alex Skolnick (metal with Testament). Yes my musical tastes are quite eclectic! But as a whole I do think that when it comes to pure creativity and artistry, there is nothing like psych rock! ;)
@TheNiceroad Nothing against Django, but if you think he was the first real guitar soloist, you might want to give a listen to the Eddie Lang/Lonnie Johnson duets. Both of them were fine soloists. Most of the time, Johnson takes the lead, but Lang's accompaniment is well-worth hearing, too.
@BlackMonk66 Ok, you're right and I already knew about these guys but I found their leads a little pale compare to Django's, hence the "First true". At least to me.
@TheNiceroad I think I can see where you're coming from. Django was definitely more of a "guitar hero" as a soloist and he was one of the greats, no question about it. Lang is one of my causes because he's sort of forgotten these days and he was one of the real pioneers. Besides, I really love those duets. The interplay between the two of them was amazing.
All of this with Beck pounding Page, it doesn't matter. They are BEST friends. They don't care. Beck calls Page the best, and Page calls Beck the best.
Beck is just amazing. This the best version of this song and the difference is him. Page was a fine player and probably recorded the best solo of all time, but when you compared him to Beck, he gets pounded.
@Gtarzan81 Are you saying that his '54 Esquire isn't a real guitar? Esquires, Telecasters, Broadcasters, Nocasters, and all other Tele style Fender guitars that I'm forgetting are the best guitars ever made. At least they were in the 50s and 60s. Guitars don't have to have humbuckers to be real. Should I tell you that Les Pauls aren't real?

If you want to see and hear the original rock guitarist that played the distortion licks on this song 1956.(covered by this group and others).Search-Paul Burlison..Go down to-Rock and Roll Trio-Part Three..second song..then go to the original cut in 1956..Johnny Burnette..Train Kept Rollin
This is my favorite incarnation of the Yardbirds, I loved them all even when Top Topham played with them before Clapton came on. But with Beck at this stage they were wonderfully fresh and energetic. Even though they covered many blues songs, they managed to reinvent and take possession of their covers and make them their own.
I'm looking forward to seeing Jeff Beck at Jazzfest again this year.
@SoothsayerXAngel Beck's ego did get in the way at that time -blame the vanity of youth. Beck has grown as a guitarist and a person over the years. He performance at Jazzfest yesterday [April 29] was stellar - one of the best of the 'fest so far. I'm sure some of it will show up on youtube soon. Highlights - Rollin' and Tumblin', Day in the Life, Blue Wind and the encore Wanna Take You Higher w\
@SoothsayerXAngel I do feel very fortunate. This was the second year in a row that he's made Jazzfest - I am going to look for Jeff Beck - Jazzfest 2011 in youtube.
@bfish89ryuhayabusa Little Wing, Day in the Life, and finishing with Trombone Shorty and covering Sly Stone's "Higher" were highlights of an amazing set. I went to all seven days and my favorite sets were: Beck's, Robert Randolph's, Sonny Landerth's, John Boutte's and the Piano Tribute to James Booker. Also caught a great night show at the Howlin' Wolf on the second Saturday of the 'Fest.
@1blastman Haha, yeah Sonny's great. He plays in Lafayette a lot. (He's from the area, and he enjoys playing for people who know the places he's talking about) He tends to play Downtown Alive (Friday evening program) and Festival International, both of which are free, and highly recommended. I don't typically pass on chances to see him. I also highly enjoyed the Band of Joy. Plant is still one hell of a performer!
You could say this was one of the first mash-ups... they're playing "Train Kept A-Rollin'" over the riff to "Honey Hush", which were back-to-back on the Rock & Roll Trio 45 that they got it from.
The Aerosmith version has the best guitars. The guitars in the Aerosmith version are Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. imo the best lead solos ever recorded.
They could play circles around everyone, that's why they were asked to perform on that album. They were never credited anywhere on the album.
@aerorocker1001 Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. They didn't play guitar on this and "Same Old Song and Dance". Wagner and Hunter added the guitar parts after the vocals, bass and drums were done. Wagner and Hunter did this for many bands. Why? because the record producer Bob Ezrin wanted the best possible product. If you watch the Aerosmith Live version from 1974 you'll see and hear the difference. It was kind of sleazy to not give them the credit imo.
@aerorocker1001 Yeah it bothered me a lot when I first found out. don't get me wrong I love Aerosmith. Perry and Whitford grew tremendously as guitar players over the years. From listening to a lot of Wagner and Hunter, I'm pretty sure Hunter played the first solos and Wagner did the ones after the mid-point of the song.
Watch youtube.com/watch?v=Mh5uMD_Gaq4 from 3:30 on, They probably used these two same guitars for the "Get You Wings" tracks. Not to mention it's the sickest guitar duel ever
@aerorocker1001 don't let it get you down, Aerosmith has so many songs that kick so much ass it really doesn't make any difference to me (I got a few bass cover vids on my channel). Perry and Whitford were/are still "Gods" imo.
But you gotta admit the solos Wagner and Hunter did are beyond exceptional, Clapton, Beck and Hendrix would have had a hard time beating that performance. They just went into the studio and rattled off those solos like it's nothing, Most under-rated guitarists ever imo
@gl797 well, it's not fair imo...they played that song wayy before they even started recording, so I dont get why they didnt just let them record it on their own =\
There's a reason that whenever Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are on the same stage, Mr. Page always plays rythm guitar. They know who has the superior skills. Nothing agains Page, but Beck, at times, is unbelievable.
Jimmy Page is a genius in too many ways to count. Yes he was sloppy at times, or as he called it, "loosely tight". But how do you think all of the flash shredders came about? From building on what was done previously. And JP pushed the envelope. Think about it. In 1955 when Jimmy started playing were no tutorials or teachers, no computer lessons. So, go easy on the early generation rockers. They are owed respect and gratitude.
@DrHogfan Beck meant LPs're less challenging: "too easy": mediocre players sound good on them. Not an insult, just a reason JB no longer uses them. JB's '60s gigs w/Rod Stewart were exclusively w/LPs, & sounded -great-, but Beck's best Yardbird work's done on a '54 Fender Esquire, (like a maple neck Tel, but only 1(bridge)pickup: An axe you -have- to play -well-, or sound like crap). He switched to LPs because '60s venues' f'd-up wiring made Fenders "hum". LPs had 'Humbucking" pickups.
@lazur1 In fact les pauls are a much more difficult guitar to play than a strat or tele. If you have (like the LPs JB used in the 60s) a very fat necked LP, vs. a strat with the thinner neck and floating bridge, hands down the strat is "easier". The strat has a much faster neck, not to mention strings with less distance in b/w them. I personally own a nice fat neck LP and I love it, but for playing anything technique heavy a fender-style is years easier.
I've owned many of each. There are many LP neck thicknesses, late-58's & 59's, (1st yrs w/hum-cancelling pickups, ), often had necks thin enough to be no problem. Most thick necks were 54 thru early-58, but they reoccur over the years. Ironically, a thick neck's leverage can give the hand strength to bend heavy strings more easily. If you're comfortable w/a Strat, great, but it's easier to "get a sound" w/LPs, that's what JB meant. I myself can pick faster on a LP, & bend easier.
@lazur1 Agreed. I love the way my LP sounds, and the bending is hands down easier, but for playing faster, string skipping, or any tremolo picking, i pick up a strat-style. The LP is an '03 standard, had it for years and love it more every one. And the neck is quite thick, almost as much as a 59' reissue. happy picking
@frishdawgs frishdawgs & lazur thanks for the feedback. It was like a mini-lesson on LP's & Fenders. I've had an Epiphone LP standard for almost a yr. I'm an older guy trying to learn to play and appreciate the positive dialog.

Still love to come to this video once in a while, love all the Yardbirds' guitarists even today!! I still go see Clapton and Beck , would also like to see Page. Too bad we cannot see the talented Keith Relf and the way he plays harp!! Rip Keith
fuck underrated,........ Zeppelin, Beck, and Clapton,, and for some reason the early Sabbath draws me to the Yardbirds.... These guys did all they could and I'm just happy to listen to their music now... "get along" == == = these guys are awsome
One things for sure, during the sixties, when Hendrix and Clapton were alive and in their zenith and the best rock music was made, Jeff Beck was something wheras Jimmy Page was practically unknown. It can't be a coincidence that Zeppelin became so big first after Cream and Hendrix...
@PageandPlant4Life yeah, he played rhthym guitar on Can't Explain. some people say he actually played the solo... but i'm pretty sure Pete did that. but yeah.
@PageandPlant4Life And he was pretty sloppy too and got a ton of work. It must have been easy to be a rock session guy back then if you were a semi-competent player.
play the shit he did. do us a favour.yes he was sloppy. but just when he tried to play fast. and he was probably high on anything he could get his hands on. what is a semi-competent player in your opinion? a guitarist with great technique? of course page could never stand up against eddie van halen, but his technique was good for a session player in the mid-sixties. you gotta remeber that it was during that time that the whole "guitar god" thing was created.
@kinghorst I'm not saying anything down on him. Page is in my top 5. He played very creatively. He also played nice, chromatic blues phrases. I was just pointing out that he was occasionally sloppy and reckless. Thats all.
1 more thing, the reason I was brought to this vid was after listening to David Bowie the jean Genie with original Stereo soundtrack.

The Aerosmith version has the best guitars. The guitars in the Aerosmith version are Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. imo the best lead solos ever recorded.
They could play circles around everyone, that's why they were asked to perform on that album. They were never credited anywhere on the album.

@gl797 are you sayin that Joe and Brad did not play guitar on this? cause that's a lie
aerorocker1001 1 year ago
@aerorocker1001 Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. They didn't play guitar on this and "Same Old Song and Dance". Wagner and Hunter added the guitar parts after the vocals, bass and drums were done. Wagner and Hunter did this for many bands. Why? because the record producer Bob Ezrin wanted the best possible product. If you watch the Aerosmith Live version from 1974 you'll see and hear the difference. It was kind of sleazy to not give them the credit imo.
So a "lie" it is not.

@gl797 hmm why is it that i dont believe you? fuck...if they did that....
aerorocker1001 1 year ago
@aerorocker1001 Yeah it bothered me a lot when I first found out. don't get me wrong I love Aerosmith. Perry and Whitford grew tremendously as guitar players over the years. From listening to a lot of Wagner and Hunter, I'm pretty sure Hunter played the first solos and Wagner did the ones after the mid-point of the song.
Watch youtube.com/watch?v=Mh5uMD_Gaq4 from 3:30 on, They probably used these two same guitars for the "Get You Wings" tracks. Not to mention it's the sickest guitar duel ever

@gl797 arrgg! i dont wanna watch it!!
aerorocker1001 1 year ago
@aerorocker1001 don't let it get you down, Aerosmith has so many songs that kick so much ass it really doesn't make any difference to me (I got a few bass cover vids on my channel). Perry and Whitford were/are still "Gods" imo.
But you gotta admit the solos Wagner and Hunter did are beyond exceptional, Clapton, Beck and Hendrix would have had a hard time beating that performance. They just went into the studio and rattled off those solos like it's nothing, Most under-rated guitarists ever imo
gl797 1 year ago
@gl797 well, it's not fair imo...they played that song wayy before they even started recording, so I dont get why they didnt just let them record it on their own =\

There's a reason that whenever Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are on the same stage, Mr. Page always plays rythm guitar. They know who has the superior skills. Nothing agains Page, but Beck, at times, is unbelievable.
jellis755 1 year ago
Jimmy Page is a genius in too many ways to count. Yes he was sloppy at times, or as he called it, "loosely tight". But how do you think all of the flash shredders came about? From building on what was done previously. And JP pushed the envelope. Think about it. In 1955 when Jimmy started playing were no tutorials or teachers, no computer lessons. So, go easy on the early generation rockers. They are owed respect and gratitude.

DrHogfan 1 year ago
@DrHogfan Beck meant LPs're less challenging: "too easy": mediocre players sound good on them. Not an insult, just a reason JB no longer uses them. JB's '60s gigs w/Rod Stewart were exclusively w/LPs, & sounded -great-, but Beck's best Yardbird work's done on a '54 Fender Esquire, (like a maple neck Tel, but only 1(bridge)pickup: An axe you -have- to play -well-, or sound like crap). He switched to LPs because '60s venues' f'd-up wiring made Fenders "hum". LPs had 'Humbucking" pickups.
lazur1 1 year ago
@lazur1 In fact les pauls are a much more difficult guitar to play than a strat or tele. If you have (like the LPs JB used in the 60s) a very fat necked LP, vs. a strat with the thinner neck and floating bridge, hands down the strat is "easier". The strat has a much faster neck, not to mention strings with less distance in b/w them. I personally own a nice fat neck LP and I love it, but for playing anything technique heavy a fender-style is years easier.
frishdawgs 1 year ago
I've owned many of each. There are many LP neck thicknesses, late-58's & 59's, (1st yrs w/hum-cancelling pickups, ), often had necks thin enough to be no problem. Most thick necks were 54 thru early-58, but they reoccur over the years. Ironically, a thick neck's leverage can give the hand strength to bend heavy strings more easily. If you're comfortable w/a Strat, great, but it's easier to "get a sound" w/LPs, that's what JB meant. I myself can pick faster on a LP, & bend easier.
lazur1 1 year ago
@lazur1 Agreed. I love the way my LP sounds, and the bending is hands down easier, but for playing faster, string skipping, or any tremolo picking, i pick up a strat-style. The LP is an '03 standard, had it for years and love it more every one. And the neck is quite thick, almost as much as a 59' reissue. happy picking
frishdawgs 1 year ago
@frishdawgs frishdawgs & lazur thanks for the feedback. It was like a mini-lesson on LP's & Fenders. I've had an Epiphone LP standard for almost a yr. I'm an older guy trying to learn to play and appreciate the positive dialog.

One things for sure, during the sixties, when Hendrix and Clapton were alive and in their zenith and the best rock music was made, Jeff Beck was something wheras Jimmy Page was practically unknown. It can't be a coincidence that Zeppelin became so big first after Cream and Hendrix...

@theShowStopper321
play the shit he did. do us a favour.yes he was sloppy. but just when he tried to play fast. and he was probably high on anything he could get his hands on. what is a semi-competent player in your opinion? a guitarist with great technique? of course page could never stand up against eddie van halen, but his technique was good for a session player in the mid-sixties. you gotta remeber that it was during that time that the whole "guitar god" thing was created.

@kinghorst I'm not saying anything down on him. Page is in my top 5. He played very creatively. He also played nice, chromatic blues phrases. I was just pointing out that he was occasionally sloppy and reckless. Thats all.
