Jim, thanks for posting these old videos, seeing them 45 years late is better than never. Even if the recording quality is poor in some of them, the great talent of all the band members shows through and provides some of the live experience that produced recordings lack.
God, I remember watching Shindig! This and Shapes of Things were my two favorite Yardbird's songs of the era. Jeff Beck was the best. He plays better than ever now and has probably never been more popular.
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.
Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.
Hah, people aren't joking when they say Jeff is one of the first of the great guitar showmen.
I'm glad the quality of this video doesn't completely lose the insaneness of the music. There was more of an....unpredictability of how music would tend to go back then I would say. It was raw, wild and, well, pshycadealic!!!! Brilliant stuff. Brilliant.
With many inaccurate comments,tets put it straight.Original guitarist Tony Topham,left to concentrate on his studies,Eric Clapton joined when they went pro,Eric left next as there were problems in the band ,Jimmy was asked to join but recomended his friend Jeff Beck,so Beck joined,Paul Samwell Smith,the bass player was next to leave,Jimmy Page stepped in on bass to help them out,approx 6 months later Beck left,he wasnt replaced,Jimmy was already on lead guitar,the band carried on as a 4 piece.
I just love to watch and listen to what Jeff could do with his Fender Esquire!! He was so ahead of his time. Jim McCarty kicks major arse too!!! Do I get bonus points for that = )
Jeff Beck was a fucking BAD ASS. Page got nothing on him. Now you know where Jimi got his chops.

It's a measure of how assured this band were that Dreja- a fine rhythm guitarist, is content to play maraccas on this. Great performance.

A record of a fine performance. Wish it wouldn't keep jamming.

@endurocatfish It's not stealing anything. This is a cover version. The Yardbirds did a thousand covers.

This is so amazing. I'm surprised Shindig allowed such ferocious rocking-out. Thanks for posting.

Did Jimmy Page replace Jff Beck? I think so. Anyone?
envaneo 2 years ago
Yes, Page replaced Beck (there was about a six month period where they over-lapped!) Beck, incidentally, replaced Clapton!

Keith is quick with his transitions from the harp to the mic and back to the harp.
