[Thylacine1949]

[TheDoolie123]

Real Rock

[southlondon63]

That's the bollocks, 10 out 10 for tha clip mate

[Civitatuccillo]

cool session.. can't wait till the current "rap crap" dies out and people get into kick it rock again

[tommeats]

a long long time ago I can still remembered how the music use to made me smile!

[joriszsz]

It's pretty amazing that they had three of the greatest guitarists in 5 years..

[scragger07]

Wow, this is amazing man... thanks for the chance to see this. Jeff Beck was the inspiration surely for Hendrix. Jimi was so impressed with his playing.

[1blastman]

This is great live music! Love the call and response between Beck and Relf.

Nice extended version - this was radical for it's time.

[mcjayc100]

Even today, I still get chills seeing this clip!!! This was when Rock Music

had an element of danger & swagger. Only once in a lifetime.

[nevernever4ever]

it'd be funny if at 2:13 he drank some water while propping his guitar up

[68generation]

Keith Relf, sexy, good singer and fantastic harmonica, RIP Keith!

[mrgordons]

@SianReynolds . What a load of crap. Beck's Bolero was recorded on 1966.05.16-17 by Jeff Beck with Jimmy Page (then a session musician) on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Keith Moon on drums. The (new) Yardbirds officially declared they were changing their name to Led Zeppelin on 14 October 1968. By then Keith Relf, Chris Dreja and Jim Mcarthy had left the band and subsequently being replace by..well you know who.

[garmonbozia318]

Wow! I was just watching Jeff Beck play Angel (Footsteps) at Ronnie Scott's and it's amazing to see he had that slide off the neck technique back in the sixties, and has been honing and refining it for all these years. The man brings new meaning to dedication to your craft.

[jasamatazSR]

except for the garb, those dancers are making the same moves as dance groups make today, sans the grindand grab moves

[SianReynolds]

I dig the Yardbirds and Keith Relf (RIP).

But I never understood how the bar got set so LOW for British harmonica players back then. I mean, during this same era, in the U.S. you had guys like Butterfield and Musselwhite playing killer stuff (not to mention Junior Wells, James Cotton, Paul Oscher, etc.). But 60s-era harp players in Britain? Good lord! :-( Guys like Relf, Jagger, Lennon, Plant and even Mayall were horrible players. Especially when compared to the caliber of guitarists there.

[PBANDSNOW]

@SianReynolds I think Plant was a great harmonica player, Bring It On Home at RAH is amazing.

[Dulcineabosatsu]

Keith Relf will never be forgotten. I am so glad we have YouTube so the youth can be turned on to the Yardbirds.

[SAMMAC666]

@Dulcineabosatsu innit

[Dulcineabosatsu]

Keith Relf will never be forgotten in my book

[1blastman]

This band invented the extended jam or "rave up" that became so popular when Cream, Led Zepplin and others picked up on it. But the Yardbirds were one of the earliest Jam bands.

[SAMMAC666]

@1blastman Led Zeppelin were called The New Yardbirds before they were Led Zeppelin,the name Led Zeppelin was coined by Kieth Moon but John Entwhistle claimed he was the one who came up with the name......and was originally going to be the name for the band that recorded Becks Bolero, but the band never formed

[ESmithStringSlinger]

Even then,Jeff is reaching for something new on guitar.And still evolving!

[WayTooDazedConfus3d]

I replayed this about a million times and now I'm going to buy the Yardbirds' Greatest Hits Lp from my local record store later today. Just amazing...no words.

[plopnod]

One of the forgotten names in Rock history-Keith Relf

[novoneiro]

too fast

[HendrixCobain18]

IM SICK AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE MARACAS!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[dipworks]

what can i say...these guys are blowing!!!

[FreedomZealot]

Beck is so badass.

[labluvver]

why is eric burdon playing maracas?

[BrooklynGirl136]

The guy with the maracas is Chris Dreja, their original rhythm guitarist  ... he switched to bass shortly after Jimmy Page joined them. He and Jim McCarty (drummer) still tour as The Yardbirds.

[RICKYB1908]

@BrooklynGirl136 DID NOT KNOW THIS, COOL. Mc Carty rules

[AndreaXy88]

Bo Diddley Was a Man.

[tataso]

the great jeff !

[MsKasiaf]

AWESOME!!!!!

[moe354sa]

that stuff at the end works with a glass pick i tried it okay good vid thx for uploading it

[shoobedoowap]

sh*t that's good

[tedGEGI]

my comment was pre-recorded

[leone7227]

absolutely awesome version!!!!

[Building529]

Just hate all the dancing girls they use to put with music acts back then.

[chaotix567]

Shit, Keith Relf is one of the best harmonica players that ever lived!

[AlexHarvey4363]

the most underrated band of the sixties!

[cookmoore]

Odd seeing Go Go Girls during blues songs.

[BL80488]

Clapton and Beck did a much better job than Page.

[Hiikua25]

fantastic!!! the guy on the maracas really completed the sound for this track, without it, it is just another common pycho-delic tune. more maracas, please!!!!

[63Brummie]

@Hiikua25

I'll have a quart of what Hiikua25 has clearly been quaffing :-)

I liked the dancers...

[ironpirites]

@Hiikua25 Even better would be "air" maracas!

[mesphinx]

@Hiikua25 "the guy on the maracas" is the famous Eric Burdon ;-D

[rjmachin]

@mesphinx that isn't Eric Burdon. More likely Chris Dreja...

[lmanator]

@Hiikua25 I got a fever and the only cure is more cow bell!!

[chrisradano]

Back then chicks dug good music.

[steffap]

still do, man. still do.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@steffap unfortunately i havent found a single one...

[1189wanado]

great post, forgotten years......love the tube

[supahsekzy]

Whoever that guy is he might be the greatest maraca player in the entire British Blues Invasion

[coralarch]

@supa, Brian Jones was pretty good, too:)

[joohanzzon]

i hope you now that it's not brian jones ..

[GodWillAlwaysWin]

Yes, I know. I said that Brian Jones was ALSO good,( at the maracas).

[Yardbirdsfan]

@supahsekzy

Thats Chris Dreja playing the maracas.

[searunrd1]

Definitve Jeff Beck. Wow.

[daviddennard]

Ultra fab. I've never seen this version!

[68generation]

Love ya Keith in this video with the fabulous harp playing! Love ya Jeff too and thanks for coming to the Viareggio concert this summer in benefit of the victims of the train accident.... you filled our hearts with your wonderful music!!!

[Revolution1117]

It's great that they let them play live, as a lot of shows back then were "semi-live", with certain "recorded" track channels, or lip-synched all together. Great performance, though, especially Beck. SHINDIG! LOL! God I' feel old. How about "Hullabaloo?";-)

[FYSkateTeam]

no lie at all, my aunt was maried to the base player chris.

[cookmoore]

Feedback  experimental string from another world

[ckycanuck]

im going to see jeff beck today fuck yaaaaaa

[jka4311]

You are certainly right Jeff Beck is awesome in the video as well...

[jka4311]

One of Keith's finest harmonica moments... He had such a shining personality... The audience couldn't get enough... Keith is surely missed!!!!

[ronbo11]

I love that single-handed pull-off move Beck does so casually! He was playing the h*ll out of that Esquire. Relf could play a pretty good harmonica as well - what an awesome band. I wish there more shows like Shindig on TV nowadays.

[sammello411]

no one can touch relf's harmonica playing, so good!!

[shopdoug]

Damn but that looks like Eric Burton on the marakas...

Who is it really ?

[jka4311]

It's Chris Dreja playing the maracas!!!!

[Sargebri]

It sure is. The Yardbirds were ahead of their time. Unfortunately, they are more fondly remembered for who was in the band (Clapton, Beck and Page) than for the fact that they paved the way for heavy metal.

[retrogradevids1]

I've been looking for this for 2 years since it got booted off. This was indeed Shindig's finest moment.

[Retrogradevids]

Thanks a ton for posting this. When I originally watched this performance, I WAS SURE The Stones were finished & The Yardbirds would be the 2nd greatest band out of the UK The Beatles of course retaining the top spot.

[eddiegrey]

Wild and crazy...those were the days!

[rockbeckpage]

Legend Beck and legend group!

[stratocasterbob]

This is the real deal with early rock and roll! Jeff Beck is an icon for rock!

[jeffo0771]

great post..i love this tune..very cool!

[mcatino]

cool stuff here

[bnapoleonc123]

That is the wildest I ahve ever seen Jeff Beck actually! Thanks man.

[engeltje1957]

real good groop of the 60"
