@dragoonee - Having seen TV shows Michael Palin did from 1966-68 I can confirm that it is Michael Palin. You must remember that he was a lot younger. The eye brows and brow ridge are the giveaway.
The song is titled "Strollin' On" by The Yardbirds. Its based off the song called "Train Kept a Rollin ' On" by The Yardbirds. There was an issue with the record company about the use of the song in this movie so they re-recorded it for the movie with new lyrics. Plus a dual solo, one by Mr. Beck and the other by Mr. Page.
The Velvet Underground were supposed to play this part originally ; but , the producer ran short on funds , so a local band was chosen ( still a GREAT choice nevertheless ! ) .
And so easy to do! I remember it was one of the first ones anyone got taught when playing with your friends new electric guitar. One string, up, down, up, up, down,.. etc. LOL
Another commonn starter was "Dirty Water." This was all long before "Smoke on the Water! (heh)
Top Topham was the very first, but quit early. Eric Clapton was next, quit to be a more "pure blues player" with John Mayhall's Bluesbreakers. Beck was in "The Tridents" but came over to fill his place. Bassplayer Paul Samwell-Smith was replaced by J Page who had been a very busy sessionman up til then. Then Smith came back and Page went to "rhythum" guitar (ha). Beck felt pressured and left for greener pastures. Bad management and production - low sales saw all but Page leave.
last night i was reading a led zeppelin article in GW and they said that people talked about the Yarbirds playing with Page and Beck but they weren't sure if that was true and then today i find this video thats funny... awsome song to
actually, i heard it was a cheap version of steve howe's guitar (was he perhaps in bodast, at the time?). howe's band was on hand as a possible group substitution for that scene. antonioni actually wanted the who to do it, because of the guitar-smashing part of the iract. they were not available, so beck was doing peter t's routine - using a mock up of howe's guitar. hope i have that straight!
That's future media personality Janet Street-Porter dancing in the stripey, Carnaby Street trousers. Also,Michael Palin of Monty Python fame can be seen very briefly in the crowd in this scene.
I think the guy that walks in is supposed to be the new singer for the Yardbirds to be...Robert Plant..thats why all the girls go crazy at the end surrounding him...:) Just a thought i had....lol..
Gee, isn't he? And the blonde guy walking into the venue is Lucius Malfoy...see, he and Jimmy attended Hogwarts together, and the blonde girl in the striped shirt is Narcissa Malfoy.
I think Beck´s amp is a VOX AC50 head - with a few assorted cabinets just for show. What looks like an AC30 is probably just an empty cabinet without amp or speakers as it moves easily when JB hits it with his guitar
"Stroll On" is the name of this song also sounds like "Train Kept a Rolling" a Rockabilly group from the 50's originally recorded this in called "Johnny Burnett and the Rock N Roll Trio" which the Yardbirds actually re-recorded as well sounds just like this.
Boy, the fans really get into the music, like dancing and grooving to the music, you have to throw a busted up guitar into the crow to wake them up. Was that a Ac30, ac30 or ac100?
wow i didnt know that was his song, cool wondered why i liked it. now led zeppelin were originally called the yardbirds right? in a technical sort of way though right
yep zepplin was called the new yardbirds for a short time then before there first album they changed to led zepplin. whats even more weird is jimmy page i think owns most of the yardbirds catalog, and he was the guitarist for them the shortest.beck page and clapton were all in the same band of course not at the asme time thou. also check out smoke stack lighting to by the yardbirds it is cool to.
see my sister and mom kept telling me they werent, and i knew they were, how dare they question me on my rock n rol history knowledge, so creme came out of the original led zeppelin group as well huh
jeff beck coverd the the song train kept a rolling this is his version. was later used by him and keith relf, called stroll on witch was used in the movie blow up. in the sheet music its (train kept a rollin)
this guy i was dating was watching this movie and i just happened to come in on this part and was amazed that the yardbirds were in it and equally amazed the guy didn't know who they were!
Well acutally "Train Kept A Rolinn'" isn't Yardbirds' song... And they wanted to play it in "Blow Up", but because of some problems with rights they've had to change lyrics and called it "Stroll On".
all I know is that the yardbirds did a cover of train kept a rollin at the very least.... but you'd think that if they were having trouble getting the rights to play it than they would have to change more than just the lyrics.... bands have sued other bands for using riffs less than 5 seconds long in their songs because it sounded like one they had already done.
your wrong 68 they were to play "train kept a rollin" and couldn't get the rights. Ralf changed the words but the music is the exact arrangment of Train. they were never supposed to play Im a Man
Also the Ybirds were to perform "I'm a man" but did not have permission due to copyright reasons, so Keith Relf wrote the song in one night and turned it into "Stroll on", which I think is a pretty good version actually!!
The movie is not a load of crap crossblues90 it is considered, and is one of the best experimental works of Neorealism of the 60's by Michelangelo Antonioni. It talks about the phylosophycal debate of certainty and truth, that is, how we perceive reality.

this movies a load of crap. tryn to artistically portray rocknroll an blues. just watch the real thing. dont need de vinci to spice up blues music. embarassing portrayal of something that doesnt need reinactments 2 begin with
love this movie and era ! It was the best of the '60's ! Jeff Beck was king ( but look..he's playing an old Gibson box! not a Strat or Tel..not cool - or even practical for the song ! Just great to trash !
Hah, my band went to a concert in Chicago and saw Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Kieth Relf, Chris Dreja, et all and just freaked at how good these guys were. best of times. Wish they were here again.
fact is...this is one of the top 3 best films made in the 1960's....and evry time i see it ,,i see somethings brand new....a timeless classic......the yardbirds keep a rolling is unreal and fantastic.......BUT the REAL group that antonioni wanted was THE WHO !!!,,, he saw pete townshed destroy the gear and wanted THAT in the film,,but they weren't available so he had the yardbirds act like they were the WHO...think how great the WHO would of been in the film...oh well.
Funny. I just love the very end of this scene. The Who were originally slated to do this scene in the movie. Instead, they got The Yardbirds to rip-off their act.
No prob dude. Yeah, it would have been a lot more authentic to have The Who. But this is also one of the rare times you get to see Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck, together. I just wish they had played to their talent level. This song is a real throw away. I think they wasted their opportunity. My Generation would have been perfect in this scene. Nevertheless, it's a great movie by a great filmmaker.
you are so right about the song my generation. it is totally the damn theme of the whole movie concept.....where he believes one thing and all the others tell him to forget it...and then in the end,,, he gives in to the fantasy of it all....he quites..yeah my generation would have been 100% perfect..and the WHO would have exploded off the screen. thx
I cant believe sounds like this came from the sixties...This was way ahead of its time and still sounds fresh to me, why do people always bang on about Beatles blazing a trail when bands like Yardbirds , Iggy and the Stooges and The Stones were sooo damn great?! thanks heavens for the blues and long live rock & roll!!!
The Beatles did blaze a trail. They were one of the first British bands to become famous on a large scale, and made it possible for other British bands to break into the mainstream and international music markets.
you're missing my point. Dont get me wrong, im a big fan of the Beatles , but the older and wiser I get the more I realise that The Beatles are massively over-rated. Just because they were big on a large scale doesnt make their music ground breaking, a tag which they are often awarded. My point is that many bands produced music BEFORE the Beatles which was way ahead of its time and more ground breaking / trail blazing / creative than the beatles....
That was all the doing of unimaginative music critics who, instead of taking the time to evaluate each band on its own merits, decided to rehash the same things previous writers said, and praise only the Beatles, Stones, Who, and whomever else was being lauded at the time. I would say the Beatles were over-hyped, but not overrated. Even certain bands were praised just for some songs they recorded, but the rest of their bodies of work were overlooked. That isn't the fault of one band.
right on... yes nowadayz people seem to miss the obvious,
if you like "green day" listen to who they listened to and to who those guys listened to ...all the way back to the mississippi delta and the Stovall plantation.
yes dude that is what i say but no one else thinks that music started somewere and every band branched off of that People like buddy guy,muddy waters people like that this guy has no clue what he is talking about lol thanks for bakin me up right on !!!!!!!!
can i ask were the fuck your eyes see robert plant, John Bonham and john paul jones they werent in the yardbirds it was a whole different band get it straight please wow

fact is...this is one of the top 3 best films made in the 1960's....and evry time i see it ,,i see somethings brand new....a timeless classic......the yardbirds keep a rolling is unreal and fantastic.......BUT the REAL group that antonioni wanted was THE WHO !!!,,, he saw pete townshed destroy the gear and wanted THAT in the film,,but they weren't available so he had the yardbirds act like they were the WHO...think how great the WHO would of been in the film...oh well.

Funny. I just love the very end of this scene. The Who were originally slated to do this scene in the movie. Instead, they got The Yardbirds to rip-off their act.

The Yardbirds were the better band. Musically at least, though they may not have busted up as much equipment as the Who did.

sorry man...i stepped on ur blog...i just saw the vid... and exploded a comment out..but think how cool the real who would of been...wow

No prob dude. Yeah, it would have been a lot more authentic to have The Who. But this is also one of the rare times you get to see Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck, together. I just wish they had played to their talent level. This song is a real throw away. I think they wasted their opportunity. My Generation would have been perfect in this scene. Nevertheless, it's a great movie by a great filmmaker.

you are so right about the song my generation. it is totally the damn theme of the whole movie concept.....where he believes one thing and all the others tell him to forget it...and then in the end,,, he gives in to the fantasy of it all....he quites..yeah my generation would have been 100% perfect..and the WHO would have exploded off the screen. thx

I cant believe sounds like this came from the sixties...This was way ahead of its time and still sounds fresh to me, why do people always bang on about Beatles blazing a trail when bands like Yardbirds , Iggy and the Stooges and The Stones were sooo damn great?! thanks heavens for the blues and long live rock & roll!!!

The Beatles did blaze a trail. They were one of the first British bands to become famous on a large scale, and made it possible for other British bands to break into the mainstream and international music markets.

you're missing my point. Dont get me wrong, im a big fan of the Beatles , but the older and wiser I get the more I realise that The Beatles are massively over-rated. Just because they were big on a large scale doesnt make their music ground breaking, a tag which they are often awarded. My point is that many bands produced music BEFORE the Beatles which was way ahead of its time and more ground breaking / trail blazing / creative than the beatles....

That was all the doing of unimaginative music critics who, instead of taking the time to evaluate each band on its own merits, decided to rehash the same things previous writers said, and praise only the Beatles, Stones, Who, and whomever else was being lauded at the time. I would say the Beatles were over-hyped, but not overrated. Even certain bands were praised just for some songs they recorded, but the rest of their bodies of work were overlooked. That isn't the fault of one band.

right on... yes nowadayz people seem to miss the obvious,
if you like "green day" listen to who they listened to and to who those guys listened to ...all the way back to the mississippi delta and the Stovall plantation.
