The Creation on German TV show "Beat Beat Beat", 1966 Pt. 1

[mmadttog]

They just got somehow mostly overlooked but name a more killer band.Almost impossible to come up with another nearly as cool.

[asmorgan88]

Yeah...I've known this band for years, but...I guess I never noticed anything special from their guitarist.

But, then again - I hadn't heard, let alone seen, any live footage of them until now!

Maybe not the most articulate...but he kind of epitomizes what a rock guitarist should sound like...if more people sounded like him, and not tried to be virtuosos, well rock & roll would still be good today!

Mixing this dude's style with Yardbirds-era Jimmy Page would be a stellar sound...

[yarsinc]

the bassist looks a bit like Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces and the drummer looks a bit like Jim Mccarty of The Yardbirds.

but ive actually playd with eddie philps because my dad was in a band with him for about 19 years and he does a rock 'n' roll thng every friday

[JunebugBpt08]

yea the creation should of been bigger same with the small faces. though no disrespect to the Who..they had to fame they deserved..all were amazing.

[TheMusicalElitist]

As much as I love The Who, I prefer The Creation. They nailed the whole Pop/Mod thing.

[angrysamoan666]

You prefer the Creation to the Who cause they did nothing so you can lord it over people who never heard them.

The Creation nailed nothing, they kept changing, copping out with cover versions, swapping singers, they nailed the Mod thing NOT

[fiendwithoutaface66]

@angrysamoan666 yeah so The Who dropped the whole mod sound anyway for rock operas and classic rock sounding nonsense and became embarrassing. I think I'd take the creation anyday of the week but that's just my opinion.

[11thedogfather]

@fiendwithoutaface66 id go with that m8 the who after 68 done fuck all for mod ,quad 73 a look back then just rock

love the tone Eddie's getting on that sweet axe!

[CatapultYourMom]

Is that Sonny and Cher at the beginning of the video?

[Swesuburan]

Nah

[gibson3524]

No, those long-haired artists you see leaving the stage at the beginning of the video are members of German group The Lords, who wore wigs................

[OldHickory]

They weren't the Lords. Those two were German Sonny and Cher copies called Adam and Eve, or something to that effect.

[obbor4]

Another good one! Thanks for the upload!

[AmericanPunkGarage]

Eddie beats out Jimmy Page to the bow.

[DickStainy]

Getten offen die stagen, Herr Dorkmeister.

[piersixbrawl]

[Splitskirts]

Excellent - thank you - they seem to have been a bit overlooked.

[boogiddy]

Great performance. Love the bow work. Amazing sound quality considering the age.

[ryantunks]
