Goddamn.. never saw this til now.. It's like Page had the whole Zeppelin thing in his head and was already way ahead of the other dudes. It almost feels like he came from the future and got stuck with a high school band and was trying to teach them how it goes. the vocals are embarrassing
This is a really interesting clip. I guess this was pretty much the moment at which the penny finally dropped that Page had outgrown the Yardbirds. They just can't keep up with him, it really feels like he's pushing the material towards the place it wants to be, and the rest of the band either don't get it or just don't have the musical chops to go with him. Its actually frustrating... but as a pre-Zeppelin artifact, it's really very cool.
altough I prefer the led zep version its still nice to see how the song evolved from jake's holmes verison into one of rocks finest songs one thing I dont like about this version is keiths singing I prefer roberts
The Yardbirds were a great pop/blues/rock band with Clapton and Beck....imo not so much with Page. Not Page's fault he just wanted to go in a different heavier direction...and he finally found his players.
The singer is doing whatever it takes to be noticed when it's not his time. He should have left Jimmy to do his amazing solo. He didn't need to play harmonica or make stupid noises (Robert made noises, but they actually sounded good).
Yea he did suck for the most part..Listen to the body of work? I bough those albums when they came out . He cut it on some stuff but mostly he was a pretty lame singer. Beck agrees by the way .
The songs that were plagiarized were White Summer (0n the Live at the Anderson Theater Yardbirds LP -- this was note for note Davy Grahams arrangement of She Moved Through the Fair), Black Mountain Side (note for note Bert Jansch's arrangement of Black Waterside), Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (Anne Bredon was not credited as composer) and Whole Lotta Love (lyrics by Willie Dixon who collected 15 million for that from LZ). Jones was/is a brilliant arranger -probably the best musician in the band.
@Aviv52 Jimmy Page was the real wizard in the studio. Jimmy did all the production work while Glyn Johns did the engineering. Page had the vision and direction for the band…
Led Zeppelin did not steal this song. Jimmy Page, the guitarist of the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin wrote this song and when the Yardbirds broke up, he brought it to Zeppelin. It was always Page's
@rrfann Yes, but you wouldn't put your name and logo no the grill in order to claim you 'made' the car to begin with. LZ, as fantastic of a group as they are, did put their names on some songs obviously written by someone else. Vanilla Ice never gave credit to Queen for "Ice Ice Baby" until the lawsuit -- and Led Zeppelin didn't give proper credit until the lawsuit. I love LZ and if it wasn't for them I'd have never heard of the original artists. So you were definitely correct there.
even if this or any other LZ song was brought to court for plagarism,,, where would the lawsuit be filed? The U.S. or G.B.? For me, personally, I could not deny LZ the rights to any of the monies due, because they were the ones that brought this to where it is today. Without LZ's version, who would ever give a second thought to the original source? The original source would have remained in obscurity, without obtaining any sort of credit or fame,,possibly.
this videos great but when you compare it to when robert plant starts singing in the zep version... "BEEN DAZED AND CONFUUUSED!!" there's just no comparison :)
Relf was 33 when he died from electrocution, at his home, while playing his improperly grounded electric guitar.[2] At the time, Relf was rehearsing new material for the regrouping of the original Renaissance line-up, called Illusion.
Relf's posthumous 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction with the Yardbirds was represented by his widow April, and son Danny.
Man, this was stolen directly from the true songwriter: Jake Holmes. They didn't evn change the lyrics nor the name of the damn song. Page was one of the greatest guitarists ever - no doubt. But he had the musical integrity of a snake.
Oh, if you are interested, you can find the original here on youtube. Jake Holmes dazed and confused.
hey peoples! i work hard on my creative videos and get very low views. so PLEASE check out my videos. be sure to check out SEEDS, and SOFTLY CONFINED (COOL stop motion animation) (Original MUSIC) and much more! thanks! :) (subscribe if you like) ..p.s. mean people aren't aloud
@Edster52m Nozzle: the announcer is TOTALLY speaking French... His name is André Weinfeld, the show (on French TV) was called "Bouton Rouge".
And, for what it's worth, Led Zeppelin was originally named the New Yardbirds. Although the musical idea was conceived of by Page, he couldn't have pulled it off without the unique and marvelous collaboration of Plant, Jones, and Bonham.
@jtmichaelson you are probably right. if youre a zeppelin fan (like me) youd probably think this version sounds like shit. the song would be worse if jimmy page wasnt in it. thank God Jimmy Page started led zeppelin and they made their 1000x's better version of this song
@LedZepMan97 ive never been a huge zeppelin fan . but i go to hold my hands up at the awesomeness of jimmy page. one of the greatest guitarists of all time..
@Emilyplays1 As a drummer (just not old enough to remember the first three Zeppelin albums in their original release days) I'd have to say many musicians must've shit bricks when they heard what these guys could do. John Bonham still holds up today as a great drummer -- even in a world that has emulated his style and even perfected his style. He still remains up there in the top of his class. I just wished more people would see John Paul Jones' contributions to the band.
Anyone who dismisses the Telecaster has probably never played one. It is still available in 1952 spec with pretty much no changes at all, because the basic design has never really needed improvement.
Many guitar players believe that Leo Fender got it right first time.
He has recorded "Since I've been loving you" from LZ III using this telecaster. It sounds not bad, isn'n it? And moreover he used it throughout all early concerts and tours of Led Zeppelin until he bought Les Paul for $500. But also after that purchase he used this telecaster on recordings. He had also another gibson guitar that he played with The Yardbirds, it was some ES-335. You can see him playing it in "Blow Up" movie with The Yardbirds. But during that period he used telecaster as well.
Singer-songwriter Jake Holmes wrote and recorded Dazed and Confused for his debut solo album "The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes, released in June 1967. When the Yardbirds disbanded in 1968, the song "Dazed and Confused" was re-worked by Page yet again, this time while as a member of Led Zeppelin.
hahahaha, the yardbirds were shit, lol. no imagination as a band, Page is playing the same riffs almost as the Zep version, but the band aren't there with him, just goes to show how important it is to have a good drummer in a band, (+ JPJ and RP)
This sounds like a bad cover version in comparison with the later monumental Zep version. Thank-the-lord Jimmy Page went on to form Led Zeppelin with Plant, Bonham & Jones.
I've seen a couple of other clips from this show (French television, "Bouton Rouge", maybe? I think one of them was with Pink Floyd) and I find it hilarious (and somewhat disturbing) that the "host" sits behind the band (at, what, a reel-to-reel tape recorder?) while it performs...I can't imagine a more awkward role, unless they'd put him in go-go boots and a cage, and had him dance...
@juanmanueltorress Ugly like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Last I heard it was valued at over $100,000. Quite a bit for an "Ugly" guitar don't ya' think?
@Jakexx01 Lol agreed, but come on, have you ever seen a FAMOUS guitarrist with a telecaster?? i mean a really rich and famous guitar player does not use a telecaster, they always use stratocaster (wich to me seems way more beautiful) or a gibson guitar, you have to admit it
@juanmanueltorress Keith Richards. Clapton in Blind Faith. Watch the Hyde Park Concert video. Whether or not you like the genre, there are a multitude of smokin' session players in Nashville with Teles. Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan. Rich Robinson - Black Crowes. Prince. Wealth nor fame should enter the equation. The simple truth is there are certain tones only found in a Tele. A guitar is a tool nothing more. Musicians use various guitars for sonic texture. That's why Page taps his LP p'ups.
It's interesting how songs mutate into their final form, and even further the more they're played live. Page had envisioned this song but the members of the YBs were lost to execute the vision The thunder of LZ's rhythm section, more modern amplification, along with Plant's searing voice and darker lyrics seems to complete the idea. A year can be like a life time. The world wasn't ready to accept this until 1969, giving Page time to work the magic. Soul of a woman was created below! Spooky...!
@goshawk1974 Spooky, You bet. Now I've ten children of my own. I got another child on the way that makes eleven,,,but I'm in constant heaven. BRRRRRR. Later it he began singing, Call back some month when I send you to hell. Now that's creepy!
@MrAndreSChr My fucking ass , I love Zeppelin but this is by far the best version of this song . So raw and Keith is a much better harp player then Plant .
the song is just a skeleton. without plant's vocal and page's solo, not to mention, violin solo, there is not much to distinguish it from many other blues songs.
in terms of "misappropriating" other people's songs, there is a legal theory called "transformative use", which is to say that if you add enough artistically to it, that at some point, it becomes a new original work. whatever Jake holmes did was certainly a building block for LZ, but is light years behind. as is this yardbirds version. in any case blues singers commonly played all sorts of blues interchangeably. you couldnt be a blues singer without actually playing "blues" or songs in the genre
Jimmy Page ripped this song off from Jake Holmes, as they did with some blues songs. The were real rip offs. It is ironic, but try to borrow something from a Led Balloon song and they will have their lawyers all over you like stink on shit.
I was looking up "dazed and confused" because I'm learning the bass line, I was surprised to find this version, but It does make sense, Jimmy was in the Yardbirds, When the Yardbirds broke up, Jimmy had sole control over the name, Jimmy reformed the band calling themselve "The New Yardbirds" with Keith Moon on drums, Keith told Jimmy "This new sound you got will go over like lead zepplin" Hence Led Zepplin was born.
@wiley2068 Page didn't have control over the name, hence when he started calling his band the New Yardbirds he was forced to change it due to a lawsuit. THAT'S why he called his new band Led Zep.
@wiley2068 Hey Wiley, I do know their history. That's why I know for a fact that you're wrong. Honestly. Look it up. Read. Learn. Then come back and concede that you've bought into mythology. They were billed either as the Yardbirds or Yardbirds with Jimmy Page. Any attempt to keep the name after the Scandinavian tour led to a lawsuit.
@wiley2068 When Chris Dreja found out that manager Peter Grant was sending the group out to tour England (October 18-19) under the name "Yardbirds", the ex-Yardbird informed Page and Grant that he did not want them to use said name. The name change to "Led Zeppelin" was announced in the October 19, 1968 issue of "Disc" magazine. Dreja's request caused the name change - Page has never owned it.
@theredraven Point well taken. I think this version of the Yardbirds broke up not long after this program aired. Page would end up with putting together another band to finish their tour commitments in Scandinavia. . . . and the rest, as they say, would be history.
@goshawk1974 No, the singer (Keith Relf) is great. I agree that Robert Plant's voice may fits better with this song, but Keith does some great work on other Yardbirds songs.
WOW!

It's interesting how songs mutate into their final form, and even further the more they're played live. Page had envisioned this song but the members of the YBs were lost to execute the vision The thunder of LZ's rhythm section, more modern amplification, along with Plant's searing voice and darker lyrics seems to complete the idea. A year can be like a life time. The world wasn't ready to accept this until 1969, giving Page time to work the magic. Soul of a woman was created below! Spooky...!

the song is just a skeleton. without plant's vocal and page's solo, not to mention, violin solo, there is not much to distinguish it from many other blues songs.

in terms of "misappropriating" other people's songs, there is a legal theory called "transformative use", which is to say that if you add enough artistically to it, that at some point, it becomes a new original work. whatever Jake holmes did was certainly a building block for LZ, but is light years behind. as is this yardbirds version. in any case blues singers commonly played all sorts of blues interchangeably. you couldnt be a blues singer without actually playing "blues" or songs in the genre

Jimmy Page ripped this song off from Jake Holmes, as they did with some blues songs. The were real rip offs. It is ironic, but try to borrow something from a Led Balloon song and they will have their lawyers all over you like stink on shit.

It seems like he can't keep up with Page. I still love it although I prefer the Supershow 1969 version.
Oh, who cares, just enjoy the music!!! -.-

I was looking up "dazed and confused" because I'm learning the bass line, I was surprised to find this version, but It does make sense, Jimmy was in the Yardbirds, When the Yardbirds broke up, Jimmy had sole control over the name, Jimmy reformed the band calling themselve "The New Yardbirds" with Keith Moon on drums, Keith told Jimmy "This new sound you got will go over like lead zepplin" Hence Led Zepplin was born.

@wiley2068 Page didn't have control over the name, hence when he started calling his band the New Yardbirds he was forced to change it due to a lawsuit. THAT'S why he called his new band Led Zep.

@DocWyoming Hey doc you should see the history of Zep. honestly
wiley2068 1 month ago
@wiley2068 Hey Wiley, I do know their history. That's why I know for a fact that you're wrong. Honestly. Look it up. Read. Learn. Then come back and concede that you've bought into mythology. They were billed either as the Yardbirds or Yardbirds with Jimmy Page. Any attempt to keep the name after the Scandinavian tour led to a lawsuit.
DocWyoming 1 month ago
@wiley2068 When Chris Dreja found out that manager Peter Grant was sending the group out to tour England (October 18-19) under the name "Yardbirds", the ex-Yardbird informed Page and Grant that he did not want them to use said name. The name change to "Led Zeppelin" was announced in the October 19, 1968 issue of "Disc" magazine. Dreja's request caused the name change - Page has never owned it.

People slagging Relf off should keep in mind a few things:
1-The audio set up for this performance is terrible anyway.
2-He only had one lung.
3-At this point, he was burnt out on the Yardbirds as was the drummer. Why put the effort in if you've stopped enjoying it?
People should check out the Armageddon album he did in 1975. Or the "Five Live Yardbirds" album.
theredraven 1 month ago
@theredraven Point well taken. I think this version of the Yardbirds broke up not long after this program aired. Page would end up with putting together another band to finish their tour commitments in Scandinavia. . . . and the rest, as they say, would be history.
