I like how the singer snaps his fingers out of a trance at 1:08 I just realized this is my 1st comment after over 600,000 views !! wow

A couple things: Jimmy Page was not in the group when this song was recorded; Jeff Beck is heard on this recording. I'm not sure about the comment about Page urging Beck to use a distortion pedal (Page and Beck were and remain close friends); Beck was so far ahead of everyone else and a Tonebender distortion unit were part of his early arsenal (as were feedback, harmonics, pulloffs... ). I'm not sure why the band is miming this tune so late in its career. Also, Beck didn't leave - he was fired.

@MrCherryJuice He was fired for blowing off gigs, it was Page who was the ace session guitarist not Beck, it was Page who commisioned Roger Mayer to make his first fuzztone (the Page 1) and gave one to Beck, 3 years before Mayer was making them for Hendrix, Page got Beck session work and his gig with the Yardbirds after Page turned it down, Page had access to all the records and production equipment, I love Beck but as he said himself "in the early days Jimmy showed me everything"

@lizzy11291950 - I like 'Beck-Ola too. For raw energy it's really the best. The whole album, 'Girl from Mill Valley' aside (nice), smokes. Rod added his vocals after the tracks were recorded and was miffed because the keys were too high! BTW, 'Beck's Bolero' is on Truth, his first album. That track was actually recorded in '66. Jimmy Page produced and is on rhythm, Keith Moon drums, John Paul Jones is on bass, and Hopkins on piano. That was where the idea for Led Zepplin started.

@d217male - Yes, the Indian chap couldn't play basics 4/4 time; he was so accustomed to playing odd times (difficult for most rock musicians). Beck was one of the early proponents of the Tone Bender effects pedals, and I believe it was this he used to get the sound on his guitar, which - at that time - was likely his Fender Esquire. He plays a Les Paul on his final single with the Yardbirds (w/Page on rhythm), 'Happenings 10 Years Time Ago' b/w 'Psycho Daisies' (he sings on the latter)

@MaxxPurple98 - Hey, I'm a guy and I thought Page looked exceptionally cool in his Yardbird days and the early Led Zep years. That's when bands also dressed much better. Like Paul McCartney; always a sharp dress, as were virtually all the British bands. It's too bad that, like so many others, Page got carried away by himself in the excess department. But then that happened to a number of the Brit bands - the Who, Hendrix, Cream... once they started making big bucks in America.
