@andaloudog Too white???? What the???? Umm did you watch the video? Have you never seen videos or pics of the Yardbirds??? They ARE white!!! Next thing you know you're gonna say Michale Jackson was too black.... and you'd be wrong on that too LOL.
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

Keith Relf vocals, Chris Dreja rythm guitar (plays a Gibson 335), Jimmy Page is playing the bass (it is not clear from the clip, but someone has to be playing it), and Jeff Beck is playing the lead guitar (stratocaster), JP plays a hollowbody instrument, unclear number of strings, but there is a sound of bass (for mid 60's is not bad, I assume is Jimmy)
@chiliD322 yes., there are no clear shots of JB;s guitar, but looks more like a LP or a Melody Maker,
(the headstock of the latter is smaller than the one of hte LP, what appears to match this guitar better)
It could be some form of clon. there were english instruments made at that time, american instruments were more expensive and had some trade barriers. Jimmy Page is playing the bass, he sounds well, but what a waste!, having the 2 on stage and not letting them take a solo!
The Yardbirds were one of the most important bands in the 60's. Just look at the guitarists they had! Clapton, Beck, and Page all played in the Yardbirds and they are arguably the best guitarists to ever come out of England. The Yardbirds pretty much became Led Zeppelin as Zepp was first known as "The New Yardbirds ft. Jimmy Page". Dreja asked that they change their name and Led Zeppelin was born. Page=god.
@GonzoGuyy Jeff Beck is on lead, Chris Dreja is on rhythm. Dreja later switched to bass to allow Page do dual lead guitar with Beck. Clapton never played with Beck or Page in the Yardbirds, Beck replaced Clapton on Page's recommendation. The Yardbirds wanted Page but he wanted to continue session work so he recommened Beck and as a thank you Beck gave Jimmy his Fender Telecaster which Page used in his tenure with the Yardbirds as well as Zeppelin's early career.
You had to be 12 years old then, male, and a new student in percussion, that had just started to appreciate that girls are different, to be able to look back at all these old videos and REALLY appreciate what was going on. I used to go to bed at night with a "six-transistor" radio, powered by a 9-volt battery, listening to the music my family did NOT play in the car, or in the house. I chose drums because school music did not include guitars. I wanted to be a lead guitar vocalist for babes.
Keith Relf's bloody awful vocals were the main reason that the Yardbirds were not a successful band...the only reason that anyone knows about them were there ex-personel...
@geriyatv Come ON! Even live performances from The Stones (although exciting)sounded bloody awful in those days. Relf sure wasn't a powerful vocalist (with one lung) ,but on the studio albums, he sounds pretty good. He was part of that unique Yardbirds sound.'Success' is relative though. Wished I had been part in such a 'unsuccessful' band.
They were part of that Brittish invasion ,that came after the Beatles & Stones. Their albums sold by the lorry loads in later years.
Jimmy's amp on the bass is way higher than all the other instruments! lol. I think it was quite difficult to hear the others instruments over it, looking at the expressions of Keith at 1:28 and Jim at 1:47. He needed to be on guitar.
@jellybean1776 No shit right. I wonder what they thought? Bunch of wild kids making all that noise and feelin the groove then looking out to see that lame ass crowd.
@1Eu4ic Check out the band that started that riff. It's from the Johnny Burnette Trio in 1956- One of the best Rockabilly bands ever. That's the version that the Yardbirds are covering
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.

@johninjersey No, that is Chris Dreja. Dreja was the original rhythm guitarist for the band and he switched to bass allowing Page and Beck to share lead guitar duties for a few months. Also, Dreja became a professional photographer after the band broke up and he shot the back cover for Led Zeppelin's debut album.
Hey people, Jimmy Page on bass, Jeff Beck on guitar, and help me out here, was it Eric Clapton on another guitar or someone else? I've read somewhere that these guys were bandmates at Yardbirds
@tonythetemplar Clapton left the band a year earlier. In fact, he originally recommended Jimmy Page to be his replacement. However, Page declined in order to concentrate on session work. Page was the one who suggested Beck.
This sounds like such a heavy jam!! Too bad the mixing isn't better ( the price you pay with a live recording I guess.) Especially during the guitar solo. Jeff beck is LAYING IT DOWN, and you can barely hear it. Oh well, still rocks.
Most brilliant time for rock and roll: British Invasion: Beatles, Yardbirds, Stones, Hollies, Animals, The Kinks....they don't make them like that anymore.
Horrible singer. No wonder they folded up shop. Just because some brilliant guitarist came out of the band, mainly because there was no other band to play with doesn't make these guys anything. Great guitarists. Shitty band
Fuck the british they only have so so music that's it u Brits think ur cool with ur faggot accents hold imgonna shove a pizza and burger down my throat cuz imam lard ass American
This is great music if you haven`t heard the Real thing. That was the thing in the 60s. Theres no rhythm anywhere in this band. I have alot of respect for Jimmy and Beck though. Great players.
Led Zep played this from Sept. 1968 (then as 'The New Yardbirds) to Summer 1969 all the time. thir version was harder and in my opinion, Plant is the better singer.
Never seen this one before....Page & Beck on guitar.....too bad you can hardly hear the guitars. And what about the Johnny Burnette Rock & Roll Trio version? That's more likely where the Yardbirds got their version from. I read that nothing was ever recorded with the Page/Beck lineup....too bad. Some of Page's songs in the Yardbirds became Zeppelin songs, and Zeppelin was originally called The New Yardbirds.
I know that It's Bradshaw that did the *original version* But you have to give credit to the yardbirds who changed the style of the song and gave it a whole new turn from jump blues (Swingin' sax and double bass) to rock garage. There's only an album that has both Page and Beck in the lineup (Over under sideways down) .
I think this is the show in Nice, Menton or Monaco. Some YBs album a fantastic cover sporting the band in bright whyte suits. They play so well cos' due to refined French cuisine they diet had improved a iota. Look at Relf...baby skin and he didn;t trip over any guitar lead. Best band of the era...Antonioni had done right using them in his flick. Love the drummer too.
They sat the crean always rises to the top and that is what this is the creme de la creme.This man was bloody wonderful and what talent emerged from this group.
Oh, this is so COOL!! Thanks for pulling this one out for us! :) They're my favorite group and this kind of stuff was just before I was born, so I can't see it anywhere but here.
lol look at the audience at the end... All in formal uniforms, silent, motionless people... Yarbirds members should be crazy to be able to do that kinda music!
It's based on the 2 sides of a single by the Johnny Burnette Trio, Coral #61719, "Train Kept A Rollin'" b/w "Honey Hush" from 1956 . "Train" was a cover of Tiny Bradshaw (not Grimes), and "Honey Hush" was originally by Big Joe Turner. The Yardbirds took the words and melody from the A-side, and coupled it with Grady Martin's guitar riff from the B-side, to create the mash-up you hear here.
Jeff Beck still jammed it better than anyone else in a later version from the 80's to put Joe Perry back in his little box.......Ya'll should check that out !!!!!
It's a tiny bradshaw jump blues tune, that was covered by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll trio with a nicely distorted guitar riff later in the 50's, excellent rockabilly version, and the Yardbirds took it from there.
Wow i didn't know that they did this song, Aerosmith covers it and I thought they did it, but no wonder that was like the only song of theirs I liked and now I know why.
You know how expensive, hurtful and complicated divorces between two people are? Very. Now amplify. Now add media. Now people. I've said enough....And, who ever said it sounded punk....hmmm
Ok just to clear everything up. It was Keith moon who said , "it will go over like a lead ballon " however , John Entwistle than screamed " A Led zeppelin " !! Also Stuka52 is absolutely correct , JImmy Page took over and had contract obligations to fullfill so for about 6 months they toured as The New Yardbirds !! lastly , if anyone wants to hear a mind blowing solo of Heartbreaker from a guy who covered Zeppelin and played with Robert and Bonzo !! It is a guy I know from NY I am on AOL
u guys are dumbasses yardbirds did not become led zeppelin. after page formed led zeppelin (by the way keith moon gave them the idea for the name) they later decided to do yardbird covers
@GuitarPlayer727 You are wrong! the Yardbirds did become Led Zepplin in a way. Page formed a band called the New Yardbirds (I saw them in 68) they performed a couple of songs that would show up on Led Zepplins first album, I saw Zeps first tour and recognized the material.
Jimmy Page was in the Yardbrids and when the band split he formed Led Zeppelin, the Yardbirds still had dates left in their Scandinavian tour which Led zeppelin completed as The New Yardbirds. Led zeppelin wern't covering the yardbirds with Dazed and Confused (inspired by Jake Holmes) and Tangerine, they were Jimmy Page's songs that he wrote when he was in the yardbirds, dumbass!
Actually, didn't Page retain the rights to the name and as a result he formed "The New Yardbirds" which after playing 6-8 gigs then became Led Zeppelin? The New Yardbirds were Zeppelin.
French crowds are useless at gigs in general. people start to dance and bounce, and the French get stroppy about it. before this gets any comments about racial sterotyping etc, I'm talking about gigs here in Paris over the last 10 years. yes, I'm French. deal with it.

I think this is the show in Nice, Menton or Monaco. Some YBs album a fantastic cover sporting the band in bright whyte suits. They play so well cos' due to refined French cuisine they diet had improved a iota. Look at Relf...baby skin and he didn;t trip over any guitar lead. Best band of the era...Antonioni had done right using them in his flick. Love the drummer too.

Lol, look at Jimmy.
It always seems like he's about to do a proper windmill, but he's too cautious about breaking his thumb. I notice that in Zeppelin concerts too.

I saw Led Zep do this song in 1969. It was the best. In fact. I have a recording of that night.
majorrose 1 year ago
Song's got a convoluted history.
It's based on the 2 sides of a single by the Johnny Burnette Trio, Coral #61719, "Train Kept A Rollin'" b/w "Honey Hush" from 1956 . "Train" was a cover of Tiny Bradshaw (not Grimes), and "Honey Hush" was originally by Big Joe Turner. The Yardbirds took the words and melody from the A-side, and coupled it with Grady Martin's guitar riff from the B-side, to create the mash-up you hear here.

Jeff Beck still jammed it better than anyone else in a later version from the 80's to put Joe Perry back in his little box.......Ya'll should check that out !!!!!
muzikfreek1000 1 year ago
It's a tiny bradshaw jump blues tune, that was covered by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll trio with a nicely distorted guitar riff later in the 50's, excellent rockabilly version, and the Yardbirds took it from there.

Ok just to clear everything up. It was Keith moon who said , "it will go over like a lead ballon " however , John Entwistle than screamed " A Led zeppelin " !! Also Stuka52 is absolutely correct , JImmy Page took over and had contract obligations to fullfill so for about 6 months they toured as The New Yardbirds !! lastly , if anyone wants to hear a mind blowing solo of Heartbreaker from a guy who covered Zeppelin and played with Robert and Bonzo !! It is a guy I know from NY I am on AOL

@GuitarPlayer727 You are wrong! the Yardbirds did become Led Zepplin in a way. Page formed a band called the New Yardbirds (I saw them in 68) they performed a couple of songs that would show up on Led Zepplins first album, I saw Zeps first tour and recognized the material.
stuka52 1 year ago
Jimmy Page was in the Yardbrids and when the band split he formed Led Zeppelin, the Yardbirds still had dates left in their Scandinavian tour which Led zeppelin completed as The New Yardbirds. Led zeppelin wern't covering the yardbirds with Dazed and Confused (inspired by Jake Holmes) and Tangerine, they were Jimmy Page's songs that he wrote when he was in the yardbirds, dumbass!
horseloveridge 1 year ago
Actually, didn't Page retain the rights to the name and as a result he formed "The New Yardbirds" which after playing 6-8 gigs then became Led Zeppelin? The New Yardbirds were Zeppelin.
