I would like to make y'all aware that there is a new publication being issued which contains literally thousands of YouTube comments. It's called 'You Are A Tube!' compiled by Steven Fried PLC.
Back when it came out in Engalnd in '67, we would all go down the pub each night and for months and months dissect the whole "Truth" album. It was truly seminal. When Zep 1 came out a few months later it seemed like top 40 rockpop by comparison. Beck is truly a wonderful musician who has reinvented himself over the years like no other. I had the privelege of sharing the stage with him on his US tours in the 70s and learned an awful lot. Thanks Jeff. You da man.
Thanks for the video and the interesting narrative. I saw Zep at the end of their first and second US tours (many tours ended in Hawaii in those days, where I happened to be) and on the second, at the HIC, the opening act (a local group which I loved but can't remember their name) did Beck's Bolero. I thought it was a bit cheeky at the time. But now I understand :-)
Brilliant, but created by Jimmy Page!!! Still, what can you say about this generation of musician / men - we won't see their like again. Holy shit......
Man...this was a cool album! I remember playing this til the record pretty much melted. Hahahaha.... really great to hear this again! Sweet post Wilson! ***** ~KStKing
You are right the end is different from what I expected, but still what an amazing guitar exclectix mix with lots of folks right in the prime of their carrers.
Jeff Beck is the man, but give credit where it is due: Jimmy Page wrote this tune. I'm glad Jeff finally admitted it after 40 years of bullshitting interviewers.
And to think these guys were just kids basically at the time...very seasoned and talented but still quite wet behind the ears. I heard this when I was 12 and started really digging through moms albums to discover the real art of music back in the mid to late 60s. My kids listen to this shit now haha...I brainwashed em proper.
And to think, before I heard this one for the very first time in 1967, I was still listening to AM Top Forty. Thank you, Nolan, my great and wasted hippie brother, for turning me onto this fantastic tune! ALSO, thank you, Billy Bass and WMMS (Cleveland)-- back in 1968!
@fls13ec Yep! I was listening to WMMS when Billy Bass was playing "underground" music (when the station first aired in 1968). Bands like Max Frost (and The Troopers) The Fugs, The Mothers of Invention, early Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, Fever Tree, The Ultimate Spinach, et al.
@fls13ec Yes, they were. I remember MMS from the start. Incredible station for The North Coast. I met Joe Walsh and Brian Ferry through some staffers at MMS. Great crew up there back then! A Merry Christmas 2011 to ya!
I might be an old git, but, I feel fortunate by having this tune within my cherished memories. To my mind, the Sixties was an era when Rock was at its apex. There were so many different styles which were incorporated into Rock music back then.
This one is among the top five on the playlist in Heaven. Thank you, Jeff, Jimmy, and company! This music transcends Space/Time. I'm among the clouds when ever I hear this. We all need to feel that way (especially these days).
@TheExiledTexan Found this video just playin around on YouTube. You're right. This is absolutely incredible. Time's gone by and I miss this kind of music.
Beck's Bolero, Heart Full of Soul, Dance the Night Away (Cream's tune), Deserted Cities of the Heart (Cream), Open My Eyes (Nazz), Itchycoo Park (The Small Faces) -- all great pyschedelic offerings.
Oh yeah, least I forget -- Tin Soldier (Small Faces) -- a great sublime and souful Rocker.
May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this fine instrumental.
@rh741 Fuck your Muslim religion, Rocker's don't kill Blue's artists because their genre's coincide with each other, Punker's don't start wars with Jazz artists because they look different and have different theory's on how to play guitar. Music is nothing like Muslim teachings...if that we're the case women wouldn't be aloud to perform and they're would only be one correct music theory. Music is FREEDOM in every single way. FUCK RELIGION. Music is more related to FAITH,
@AblueSHADEofMETAL .....In the sense that we always have hope that there will be another talented musician to fill the gap when a Virtuoso/ Master of their trade passes away. Not trying to be rude, but religion has no place in music unless you're into that Christian/religious Genre(it's shit).
@rh741: I think you are confusing Islam with Hinduism. Muslims would probably not appreciate someone saying that their religion features "so many gods.," especially since their most famous saying is "There is no other God but Allah." Just saying.
On the other hand, Hinduism indeed features a multitude of gods.
Sweeping. Celestial. Majestic. Powerful. One more reason to place the music of the 1960s at the top of the heap. When this tired dog and pony show down here is over, this music will still keep playing somewhere in Space/Time. I'll make sure of that. The Christ and I are mates.
May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this instrumental.
Jeff Beck is so far and away the best guitar player to ever come out of the Yardbirds. It's not even close. Clapton and Page are paupers and pawns compared to Beck.
Can you imagine growing up in London back then with all of these great Musicians who all lived near each other, and decide to kick the USAs ass with this Great Invasion? From the Beatles, to Clapton, Yardbirds, Led Zep, Rod Stewart, The WHO<Rolling Stones , and on, and on, and on, and on
wilsonmcphert, This is certainly a large chunk of musical history you have brought to light here. I had no idea of the truth behind, "Truth's" Beck's Bolero, as it were. I have owned a copy of Truth since it's release in 1968 and never new this bit of not/so trivia. I will never listen to this song again in the same light. This is the stuff that makes history worth it's "Truth" no pun intended to diminish the integrity of this news (to me) and or this great song.
This song influenced a lot of incredible musicians, probably Duane Allman being the greatest. He claims hearing Beck's slide guitar on this song inspired him to get a corcidin bottle. The rest is history.

they wanted entwistle to play bass on this but he couldn't for whatever reason so they got john paul jones. i would have loved entwistle to do this but at least jones and page met each other
@strobelightbeam also keep in mind that beck and page were great mates and page owned all rights to the yardbirds after they collapsed. thats why Zeppelin was originally called the new yardbirds.
WOW. WAS THAT A REAL PHOTO OF NICKY HOPKINS HALFWAY THROUGH THE SLIDE SHIOW?: IF SO, PLEASE, WOULD YOU LEAVE ME A NOTE VIA YOU TUBE MESSENGES? IT WOULD BE SO MUCH APPRECIATED!F
It's all history now and even though there are some really good present day bands and some really good guitar players History will not repeat itself, so sad, it's a good thing we have Youtube
Tele van a tököm a sok angol nyelvű kommentárraI. Igenis komoly kultusza volt itt a Yardbirds vonalnak. Liversing, Dogs, ... sokan. A kissé gyengébb amatőr bandák is megtették a magukét. És 67-től beindult a honi underground. (Új Rákfogó, Sakk-Matt, Tűzkerék). Semmivel nem volt ez rosszabb, csupán - a szerelés különbségéből adódóan - nem ugyanúgy szólt. Pénz, pénz és pénz. A zene ,... ? Most már tudjuk: születni kell valahová. És ez nem csak a zenére érvényes !!!
Very hard to believe this was created back in 1966. This is so futuristic and visionary, which also was "Shapes of Things". It still sends chills down my spine. Not to compare but Beck was way out front of everybody on this stuff.
i saw Beck play this 10 feet in front of me in 68, i saw Page play 10 feet away from me the whole first first album TWO nights in a row in 69, i saw the Who 2x's play their hearts out 10 feet away in 68-69..and i saw Cream play,,10 feet in front of me at the Whiskey in 68. AND, i saw Hendrix..3x's...a little farther away (to be honest)...To all you punk wet-nosed kids who wanna say who is best?..ur all wasting your time...you have no idea how unique each experience is/was....trust me.
A true forerunner recorded years ahead of its time. It is a tribute to the vision of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page that this track is the timeless landmark it is. There's a sense of the infinite on this track quite unlike anything else.
I ove Beck as much as the next guitar enthusiast, but I have read enough about him to know that in person he is a cockey, moody, and arrogant, which is why nearly everyone he's jammed with ditched him. Jimmy could have done what Beck did 10 times better, Jimmy's Bolero for me.
A great 'lost classic' track that's hardly ever played on mainstream FM classic rock stations today. Thank you for uploading this track...otherwise, one must listen to Sirius, XM, or other subscription satellite music service (and pay a monthly fee!) to hear this and other great 'lost classics' these days!
I didn't know the history of this track. I thought it was The Jeff Beck Group, so I presented it to Ron Wood to sign. He said, "What is this?" I explained what it was and he signed it anyway. It was produced by Mickie Most.
saw beck at filmore east in 67 had truth album it is a ground breaking amazin piece of music zep copied beck group became more commercially successful but there is no denying J.B.is the greatest guitarest of his or any time period what he does now is so fuckin far ahead of anyone else.
As stated in the background above, the song was recorded in 1966, released on the B side of the single Hi Ho Silver Lining in 1967 and on the album Truth in 1968. These dates can be verified by doing an internet search.
Recorded during Beck's time with the Yardbirds... Management had Page put something together to keep Jeff entertained. Added to Truth album... but no mention Page produced it. Keith Moon said the line-up would go down like a lead ballon (positively!) in America, but when the Who m'ment threatened Moon if he left the Who... The idea opened up for Page to launch Led Zeppelin.
@MrCherryJuice Great example of Page's production, his greatest talent, and Beck's playing both guitar's and his initial foray into song wrtiing/ probably with JP and or JPJ. On 'Truth' the credit is J. Page which is not Jimmy Page as wone would think, but beck/page (j. stewart is beck/stewart etc. Beck is scroupulous in giving credit even when not recquired while Page is notorious for not giving credit. IMO best work Page ever did is last Yardbirds album and First LZ had total control on ea.
@giacblanc - You say 'Beck's playing both guitars...'. I you mean also the acoustic rhythm, that is Page. And yes, Jeffrey Rod (as appears as credit for Rock My Plimsoul) was Jeff + Rod (in this case 'stealing' the King/Josea tune, 'Rock Me Baby. Even by that point Page had stolen a number of tunes to do the Yardbirds' Little Games album. ('Drinking Muddy Water', for exampe, is a musical life from 'Rollin' & Tumblin', which Cream covered about the same time (w/appropriate credits) at same time.
When I heard this song in the sixties, around 67 or 68, I was totally blown away... Lightyears ahead of the lot! Another timeless masterpiece. 100 years from now they will be listening to this as we listen to Beethoven and Mozart!!
Jeff Beck has always been one of my favorite guitarists around period. He never gets the recognition like a Jimmy Page or a Eric Clapton. When I hear songs like this one....It always makes me ask the question?........How can this guy NOT be better recognized as a talented musician? Blows my mind..
@pluckhutma Beck was not much of a song writer or song stealer for that matter. Also instrumental groups are judged differently.Cream with no vocals would been just as great, but not commercial. Best Beck singer Bob Tench once you get used to him.
@giacblanc I don't know if credit was properly given in these instances, but just for fun, look up ray price's "you done me wrong" and holy modal rounders "if you want to be a bird"...same song, or Aaron copland "hoedown" and bonapartes retreat.
"Listen to this guy called John Bonham that I've got." I said ok, and my heart just sank when I heard it. I looked at him and said "Jim, what?" and the tears were coming out with anger. I thought "This is a piss-take, it's got to be." I mean, there's Truth still spinning on everyones turntable, and this turkey's come out with another version. Oh boy I realised it was serious, and he did have this heavyweight drummer, and I thought "Here we go again" - pipped at the post kind of thing.-J Beck
actually , when hendrix was interviewed in his early days , they noticed loads of yardbirds recordings and beck stuff in jimi's flat , jimi admitted he was hugely influenced by jeff beck
@flappospammo ya except you were trying to say beck was superior to page. well thats flat out wrong. they knew eaxh other when they were kids and beck always looked to page and viewed him as is mentor becuase he could not touch his guitar playing. this song was actually arranged by page and page was the prominent figure in the studio while they were making the track so hell no
beck is the best , ask people like evh , brain may , dave gilmour etc
live especially , look at page's terrible performances at live aid and the atlantic 40th anniversary , both times he messed up simple riffs and looked like he was on another planet
while beck - his dvd / bluray of live at ronnie scotts is superb in every way
@flappospammo for starters page was just a sloppy guitarest, but his sloppiest never sounded bad its just the way he choses to do things and starting in 76 page had a horrible heroin addiction which hindered his performance. he wasnt that he was playing bad it was the drugs. listen to page from 68 to 75 and try to tell me beck can beat that because no way. or watch the reunion concert or the page and plant concerts were page was drugged out. jeff beck cant touch that.
Took my speakers to the next level in 1968 and beyond.....while breaking the mold with a classic not seen before or since........looks like it will never be replicated......Beck and Page are legends of the 1st degree.
why all the arguments about Beck, Page and Plant?? all three musicians show a lot of respect for each other, so why would any of our comments matter? simple fact is, its a classic track, its damn good to listen to, end of story...
Zeppelin cant be compared to beck, much the same as Beck cant be compared to Zeppelin... unless your all tone deaf... we are talking about two very different kinds of music here, and honestly, beck is a master at what he does, and zZppelin. well they were untouchable
Wow, wait this was going to be Led Zeppelin?

Tele van a tököm a sok angol nyelvű kommentárraI. Igenis komoly kultusza volt itt a Yardbirds vonalnak. Liversing, Dogs, ... sokan. A kissé gyengébb amatőr bandák is megtették a magukét. És 67-től beindult a honi underground. (Új Rákfogó, Sakk-Matt, Tűzkerék). Semmivel nem volt ez rosszabb, csupán - a szerelés különbségéből adódóan - nem ugyanúgy szólt. Pénz, pénz és pénz. A zene ,... ? Most már tudjuk: születni kell valahová. És ez nem csak a zenére érvényes !!!

Very hard to believe this was created back in 1966. This is so futuristic and visionary, which also was "Shapes of Things". It still sends chills down my spine. Not to compare but Beck was way out front of everybody on this stuff.

i saw Beck play this 10 feet in front of me in 68, i saw Page play 10 feet away from me the whole first first album TWO nights in a row in 69, i saw the Who 2x's play their hearts out 10 feet away in 68-69..and i saw Cream play,,10 feet in front of me at the Whiskey in 68. AND, i saw Hendrix..3x's...a little farther away (to be honest)...To all you punk wet-nosed kids who wanna say who is best?..ur all wasting your time...you have no idea how unique each experience is/was....trust me.

People. Honestly. Shut the hell up on who's better.
Jimmy Page is a godly guitarist.
Jeff Beck is another godly guitarist.
John Paul Jones is a godly bassist among other things.
Keith Moon "The Loon" is a god in drumming!
And Nicky Hopkins is great at the piano.
It is what it is. Enjoy the music since it'll never be like this again.

A true forerunner recorded years ahead of its time. It is a tribute to the vision of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page that this track is the timeless landmark it is. There's a sense of the infinite on this track quite unlike anything else.

I ove Beck as much as the next guitar enthusiast, but I have read enough about him to know that in person he is a cockey, moody, and arrogant, which is why nearly everyone he's jammed with ditched him. Jimmy could have done what Beck did 10 times better, Jimmy's Bolero for me.

A great 'lost classic' track that's hardly ever played on mainstream FM classic rock stations today. Thank you for uploading this track...otherwise, one must listen to Sirius, XM, or other subscription satellite music service (and pay a monthly fee!) to hear this and other great 'lost classics' these days!

I didn't know the history of this track. I thought it was The Jeff Beck Group, so I presented it to Ron Wood to sign. He said, "What is this?" I explained what it was and he signed it anyway. It was produced by Mickie Most.

yes, although I was referring to beck on both parts electric and Page on 12 string acoustic on single or when they first got the idea to do the song.

As stated in the background above, the song was recorded in 1966, released on the B side of the single Hi Ho Silver Lining in 1967 and on the album Truth in 1968. These dates can be verified by doing an internet search.

Recorded during Beck's time with the Yardbirds... Management had Page put something together to keep Jeff entertained. Added to Truth album... but no mention Page produced it. Keith Moon said the line-up would go down like a lead ballon (positively!) in America, but when the Who m'ment threatened Moon if he left the Who... The idea opened up for Page to launch Led Zeppelin.
MrCherryJuice 1 year ago
@MrCherryJuice Great example of Page's production, his greatest talent, and Beck's playing both guitar's and his initial foray into song wrtiing/ probably with JP and or JPJ. On 'Truth' the credit is J. Page which is not Jimmy Page as wone would think, but beck/page (j. stewart is beck/stewart etc. Beck is scroupulous in giving credit even when not recquired while Page is notorious for not giving credit. IMO best work Page ever did is last Yardbirds album and First LZ had total control on ea.
giacblanc 1 year ago
@giacblanc - You say 'Beck's playing both guitars...'. I you mean also the acoustic rhythm, that is Page. And yes, Jeffrey Rod (as appears as credit for Rock My Plimsoul) was Jeff + Rod (in this case 'stealing' the King/Josea tune, 'Rock Me Baby. Even by that point Page had stolen a number of tunes to do the Yardbirds' Little Games album. ('Drinking Muddy Water', for exampe, is a musical life from 'Rollin' & Tumblin', which Cream covered about the same time (w/appropriate credits) at same time.

Jeff Beck has always been one of my favorite guitarists around period. He never gets the recognition like a Jimmy Page or a Eric Clapton. When I hear songs like this one....It always makes me ask the question?........How can this guy NOT be better recognized as a talented musician? Blows my mind..
pluckhutma 1 year ago
@pluckhutma Beck was not much of a song writer or song stealer for that matter. Also instrumental groups are judged differently.Cream with no vocals would been just as great, but not commercial. Best Beck singer Bob Tench once you get used to him.

"Listen to this guy called John Bonham that I've got." I said ok, and my heart just sank when I heard it. I looked at him and said "Jim, what?" and the tears were coming out with anger. I thought "This is a piss-take, it's got to be." I mean, there's Truth still spinning on everyones turntable, and this turkey's come out with another version. Oh boy I realised it was serious, and he did have this heavyweight drummer, and I thought "Here we go again" - pipped at the post kind of thing.-J Beck

@flappospammo ya except you were trying to say beck was superior to page. well thats flat out wrong. they knew eaxh other when they were kids and beck always looked to page and viewed him as is mentor becuase he could not touch his guitar playing. this song was actually arranged by page and page was the prominent figure in the studio while they were making the track so hell no
rockled54321queen 1 year ago
@rockled54321queen
beck is the best , ask people like evh , brain may , dave gilmour etc
live especially , look at page's terrible performances at live aid and the atlantic 40th anniversary , both times he messed up simple riffs and looked like he was on another planet
while beck - his dvd / bluray of live at ronnie scotts is superb in every way
check it out , you might learn something
flappospammo 1 year ago
@flappospammo for starters page was just a sloppy guitarest, but his sloppiest never sounded bad its just the way he choses to do things and starting in 76 page had a horrible heroin addiction which hindered his performance. he wasnt that he was playing bad it was the drugs. listen to page from 68 to 75 and try to tell me beck can beat that because no way. or watch the reunion concert or the page and plant concerts were page was drugged out. jeff beck cant touch that.
rockled54321queen 1 year ago
@rockled54321queen
lol
page has already admitted about beck that 'when he's on , he's the best there is' google that
in 1975 jeff beck released an album called 'blow by blow'
try listening to that , google it , read up on it
that album wipes the floor with anything page did with zep or outside it
i rest my case

Zeppelin cant be compared to beck, much the same as Beck cant be compared to Zeppelin... unless your all tone deaf... we are talking about two very different kinds of music here, and honestly, beck is a master at what he does, and zZppelin. well they were untouchable
