  • GROOOVY!!!!

  • The original song to " Aerosmiths" Train Kept On Rollin" this is a bad song. Rock on and then some.

  • Pete Townsend actually learned this antic from Jeff!!

  • wow jimmy jef the yardbirds hidden stream like it

  • Is this taken from any movie or something?

  • @MrKennyMiles

    it's from "Blow-Up" a 1966 movie by Michelangelo Antonioni

  • amazing song, but back then jimmy was way more skilled then jeff. ofcourse jeff now is just immortal

  • I met Jim McCarty (drummer) once briefly, nice guy.

  • I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is this for real ?

  • Read about this performance in "Hammer of the Gods", by Stephen Davis, pages 27-28.

  • Great to see Jimmy Page so happy here

    I wonder if he had any idea how huge he'd become in three years ;)

  • A rare chance to hear Beck and Page together. I think the Velvets would not have been as good for the movie since it was set in swingin mod London and the Velvets were more about Greenwich Village, Manhattan, darkness and kinkyness.

  • Dec 18th, today was the day it debuted!

  • So. Many. Hipsters.

  • what movie is that from?

  • ...anyone know if Page was given songwriting credits on this tune?

    Page joined the band in June and Beck got kicked out in Nov....

  • Comment removed

  • That audience is dead...

  • @TheSRalston No, maybe not. But they are all in their late 60s or early 70s now.

  • @MowgliX ha ha....I didn´t meant it literally...I was refering to their attitude during the performance...but maybe it had to do something with the movie´s argument or general theme...

  • Jeff Beck says, "Fuck this, I'm going to go pioneer jazz rock guitar now."

  • @DruggardlyBros but Robert Fripp was so much better at it...........

  • Comment removed

  • great song

  • Coooooool!!!!!

    Greetings from Italy.

    Great movie, Italians do it better.

  • Jeff Beck: "Well damn, I guess I'll just have to play the Les Paul I have conveniently stowed behind my amp tonight. Sigh."

  • Haha! Gotta love those early Vox AC30s and their tempermental glory.

  • fuck you Steven Tyler

  • antoniona wanted the velvets for this scene

  • @edrepard yeah I read that in Up-tight. As much as I love the Yardbirds, I think the Velvets music would have fit this scene better.

  • @edrepard Oh really? (You mean Antonioni?) I didn't know that! By the way, the filmmakers wanted David Bailey himself in the leading part, since the film is about him in the first place, but he refused as he is dyslectic and had a problem remembering the lines. So they got David Hemmings.

  • jimmy page is trying to have a dave davies look.

  • Jeff Beck was alway cooler because he was a Mod.

  • What about Jeff? I think he's pretty sexy.

  • isn't this blow up movie? great scene

  • wait is this from blowup 1966 movie?

  • @nofxb182 Yes it is.

  • is this from a movie? if so what is it called?

    

  • Are they making this movie up as they go along??

    What a load of twaddle!!

  • @outofslumber No.

  • @MowgliX

    Go look up the word "rhetorical"!

    Seem a little sensititive about this tripe. It's pure utter nonsense. If it isn't in the "worlds worst movies ever" list, it bloody well should be. Another comment you've taken too literally!

  • HIPSTERS.

  • Sexy Jimmy

  • Never knew that this is where Aerosmith got Train kept a rollin from

  • @llaaragon its not, the yardbirds covred it, it was originally written and played by Tiny Bradshaw. The song was originally called train kept a rollin

  • the only vid of them together

  • wanna the time machine

  • If I were in that crowd, I'd be dancing my ass off! lol

  • when jeff beck beats the shit out of his guitar hahah

  • Every time I watch how Jeff Beck gets pissed off and beats his guitar I laugh as hell.

  • Absolute crap. A brilliant Yardbirds performance chopped to pieces in service of a load of pretentious, snobbish nonsense.Nobody watches this film anymore for the good reason that it is boring, self-important slop.

  • what i hate about this is that this scene is showing the young public of the late 60`s music as if they were a bunch of allienated robots, and the performers as agressive guitar destroyers, like if anyone else was a "guitar destroyers" like pete townshend in the 60`s

  • check out that smile @2:31 what a sweet little gig.

  • Amazing song, and don't forget the seminal movie it's in, Blowup by Antonioni. One of the greatest films ever.

  • everyone is just standing still, did they hand our Valium or something

  • @RattlerX5150 It was recorded for a movie but I still don't understand why they are standing still.

  • everyone is just standing still, did they hand our vallium or something

  • Anybody who's ever owned a Vox amp will feel the same. Great tone if you can put up with some "character".

  • what is this from?

  • @GDuBMuSiCk "Blow-up" by Michelangelo Antonioni. By the way, David Hemmings, the blonde guy, who played the main role is a good singer at my opinion.

  • @FaulFerkel huh, interesting stuff, so this wasn't a yardbirds thing..I was just happy to see jimmy in color live this early. Is that jeff beck who destroys his guitar?

  • @GDuBMuSiCk definitely, him =) And that's a Yardbirds song, played in a movie scene.

  • @FaulFerkel yeah no doubt, good stuff..though zeppelin was better : P

  • great song

  • Lol this is awesome....I just don't know how they got everyone to stand still like that?? Wonder if it was instructed?

  • i wish i could destroy my shit when it doesnt work too lol

  • @crunkalac If you're playing a crappy guitar like Beck used here, you could. That was a set up for the film. He wasn't gonna wreck a Les Paul or his infamous '53 Tele for the sake of the film. Who could blame him. He got to do what Townshend did with expensive guitars and not have to pay for it later. LOL. So you gotta love The Who just for that fact. That's true sacrifice for art!

  • Correct Song Title: "Train keeps a Rollin'"

  • @autodelete66 wrong , this is stroll on , its with train kept a rollin riff , buts a different song

  • Wow...Aerosmith totally ripped this song off .....

  • @tytan01 No Aerosmith didn’t rip the song off, they just did a cover of “The Train Kept Rollin’. If anyone ripped it off it was the Yardbirds who just added different lyrics to the song.

  • @19CACTUS51 It was already a standard before the YBs did it tho, i think. And of course it's not a rip by Aerosmith, it's a cover. And you gotta admit, they own it from here on in. Just like Santana with Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman, altho I prefer FM's version cuz I'm not sick to death of it.

  • OMG! 2:31 such a cute smile :')

  • great song

  • went to a funeral and the yardbirds started to play...

    wtf people?

    oh i get it, it was a zombie convention

  • went to a funeral and the yardbirds started to play...

    wtf people?

  • Yes, this is from Blow Up. Kind of a lame movie, at least nowadays.

  • its a HOFNER SENATOR E1 (1963)

  • for and against cracking music tools? when the first crushing of instruments on stage?

  • STAY STILL! DONT MOVE! ITS JUST THE YARDBIRDS!!

  • wat a dumb movie.but the yardbirds made it worthit

  • they wanted the who to do this but they declined so they got the yardbirds and told beck to imitate townshend. the who would have been so much better for this though

  • And Goldie Hawn debuting at 2:54!

  • It sounded like he just needed to replace a preamp tube........

  • @multaflor The guitar/amp smashing was supposed to happen. The director told Jeff to. That Vox wouldn't mess up, they're built like tanks :p

  • AWWW LITTLE JIMMY! <3 oh i love him... hes just to adorable!

  • Hilarious! Jeff Beck rules!

  • I love this scene and the one of the two girls fighting, one in lime green tights and one pink neither both with pants on, it's like they read my mind. That's Janet Street Porter, dancing in the stripy kecks starting at about 1:10 , when she actually was a yoof.

  • Great (very) short moment in rock history when two giants met!

    and this thrown guitar Neck, Can you imagine how much it could be worth now on eBay!!

  • One of my favorite shows of all times was watching the Yardbirds on the "Great White Steamship" in 66 (or was it 67/)!

  • I absolutely love this song, but I have to admit, this video is sooo dumb.

  • 2:30 One of my favorite Jimmy Page smiles...<3

  • The Yardbirds with Jimmy Page on his Tele...gah, wish I was there!

  • OMG INTEGRATED HIPPY DANCING HORRORS! /sarcasm

  • Vox gear always sucked.

  • 2:29-2:32 best ! JIMMY !

  • Grandi!!!! Fortuna che gli Who hanno risposto di no ad Antonioni per questa scena e oggi ci ritroviamo questa chicca degli Yardbirds :))) !!!

  • wtf?

  • ok so who ripped who of here this iz train kept a rollin all day long

  • When I saw "Blow-Up" at the age of 15, in 1969, I thought this scene was incredibly stupid, to have the audience standing impassive and unmoving until the pieces of the busted guitar were thrown to them. It was way too artificial and fake for me to accept, even if the the movie was supposed to be about non-reality and acting like a jerk.

  • love the stripey chik in the silver coat's dancin!!

  • Haha...my fav scene!!! Awesome movie.

  • Comment removed

  • why can't guys have long hair like that? now we have jersey shore style hair. I'm moving to england to find long haired blokes.

  • @franzchick66

    Your not the only one!

  • 1:20 wut a bitch.

  • esa ecena esta de la ptm, cuando jeff rompe su guitarra y jimi haiendo el solo fenomenal

    muy buena ecena.

  • The begining looks like a bunch of rock zombies just waiting patiently for someone in the band to throw out some edible instruments to chomp on...........

  • This just show us all that Fenders beat Gibsons. :D

  • @MrLino beck werent playing a gibson, something like a hofner maybe

  • @paultheguitarlegend I know man, it was just a joke. Beck indeed used a crappy hofner in this video for smashing scenes.

  • @paultheguitarlegend Looks like maybe a Hopf. Name too short for Hoffner

  • This riff is f**** hipnotic!!

  • This clip, from Blow-Up, by Antonioni, was originally to have been the Yardbirds' version of Train Kept A'Rollin'. The person who owned the rights to the music wanted more for the performance rights than the band was to receive for playing and appearing. Instead, the band came up with this song, using their own words, and a similar, song structure. Jeff had every intention of destroying his guitar, which is why he's playing that old cheap hollow body. Jimmy Page is playing all guitar parts..

  • Great scene and band; I love all the Vox amplfiers in the background; they look like AC50 Twin's but in a " adapted " setup. I was looking at the " Blow Up " fan website and apparently this scene was shot in a film studio, but the " staircase " scene at the start ( and the bit at the end ) were filmed on location somewhere in London. They also mention the Italian Director's obsession with colour; he ordered the grass to be painted green and the tree's black at Maryong Park. Regards.

  • I really like how the audience in the scene just stands there until Jeff throws the pieces of his smashed guitar out into the crowd. Then they go nuts!

  • breakin' up is hard to do.

  • ......early punk .......

  • It might help people if the description for this video also has the below info since it helps explain what's going on in this and that The Yardbirds had a spot in the film.

    "Blowup" is a 1966 British-Italian film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni.

    Thanks!

  • Yes it is from Blow Up movie!!

  • Cool!!!

  • It's such a shame that the general public doesn't acknowledge the Yardbirds more. If you ask me, they were just as important to the development of British rock as the Stones and the Who.

  • @slowmonkey156 completely agree.

  • @slowmonkey156

    Same could be said for Link Wray, who this song reminds me of a lot!

  • @slowmonkey156 dude they had 3 of the best guitarists ever i think people acknowledge them just fine

  • @slowmonkey156 Agreed. Their music had an edgy, dissonant quality that prefigured hard rock and punk rock, especially after Page joined the band.

  • @slowmonkey156 Led Zeppelin were called the New Yardbirds

  • @slowmonkey156 That's true - and it also goes just as much for The Kinks! Britain just had a GLUT of great musicians and songwriter's at the time.

  • Go on,Jeff,go oooooooooon!

  • What a lovely crowd!!!

  • I think the band just told Beck that he was being replaced by Page….

  • Great and rare moment where jimmy page and jeff back played together... Jeff Back left the band a few months later...

  • Great and rare moment where jimmy page and jeff back played together... Jeff Back left the band a few months later...

  • Keith Relf has a great voice and cool 60s look - solo work was good. RIP Keith

  • This is a brilliant scene that sums up the meaning of life

  • does anybody know what kind of the jacket jeff beck is wearing? PLEASE REPLY!!!

  • @TheCymbalineSound

    Looks like Carnaby Street fashion, popular fashion district in London 1960s. Also looks military inspired with the brass buttons etc.

  • @Utubeer54 u kno where i can get one

  • JIMMY PAGE and jeff beck.

  • That beautiful vox amp... destroyed

  • the who D:?

  • "It wasn't enough for me. Even with Jim & I together...it wasn't enough. I wanted to do this disgusting, sick-to-your-stomach, heavy, heavy blues...I couldn't attain it with them. I needed to be the one guitarist, I was the only one who could do it. I wanted a sultry, provocative, wailing singer...Rod was that. I wanted to knock everybody down with the heaviness of it all, & leave them vomiting over how fucking sickening it was."

    - JEFF BECK

  • @asmorgan88  - Great quote that I haven't heard (or read) in AGES.....thanks for the post.

  • Get the fuck up you zombies! How can anyone be so motionless during such nasty riffage?

  • This is some awesome rock music. Why the hell is everyone standing still?

  • whos the guy that walked into the gig

  • @w9x7cv3vg6 The late David Hemmings

  • Take a look at my generation. There you will find trains, the Finnish army, the beautiful scenery of Finland, folk music, sailing ship Sedov, martial arts, sports, art exhibitions, animals, animation, a lot of Super 8 films and other interesting stuff!

  • Una de las mejores rolas de Yardbirds !!

  • Are these the Stepford Kids...so enthusiastic, they are.

  • That audience...what a bunch of stiffs!

  • hey Beck, mayb it was the input jack not the amp lol

  • "Blow Up".....1966, starring David Hemmings???

  • Is this a scene from the movie "Blow Up"??

  • @Dealit707 totally

  • @Dealit707

    yup...the only good thing about the movie really. I was a kid when it came out and I thought the Yardbirds were going to be on throughout the film. It was worth it even though I could have left after 10 minutes. P/O ed Beck was good and Jimmy Page carried it well.

  • @Dealit707 yes

  • @Dealit707 Thank you I came on here to ask what movie this was?! BTW The tune would later be Train Kept A Rollin by Aerosmith!

  • @vanhenry71 The song Train Kept A Rollin' was done by The Johnny Burnette Trio in the 50's

    written by Tiny Bradshhaw before them !!!!!!!

  • @vanhenry71 Believe this is film "Blow Up" . . . the blond male star actor is David Hemmings, and this film was his only major one.

  • @Dealit707

    Yes

  • @Dealit707

    Yep

  • Great! Fantastic!Thank you!

  • Wow...a crowd of fucking mannequins

  • jimmy is god

  • What an excited crowd! haha. I like how the only two people dancing are some weird chick and a black dude. Fantastic song though and probably one of the coolest band line-ups ever!

  • @maxbitches The 'chick' is someone well known in the UK~Janet street Porter,another UK celeb in the same scene is Michael Palin in the striped jacket to the right of pic at 0.35!!(All of 44 years ago!)~~All the Best :>))

  • Two legends up on the same stage,Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.
