I love Yardbirds,still very missing that golden age....
The Yardbirds were so far head of most rock bands of that era. My favorite songs from them were Shapes Of Things, and Happenings 10 years time ago! Its so sad what happened to Keith Relf.
I agree. They were a precursor to what would become heavy metal.
Aw man, this stuff is SO essential! Total Rock Action!

You HAVE TO love the randomness of John Astin's being there. Genius!
Addams Family was YUGE back in 66 Cross promotion even then.
Astin is still alive, age in 90’s.
@@Itsisawnotiseen In the latest photo I saw of his, he looked more like Uncle Fester.
That’s why these shows could be so weird, Shindig once had Boris Karloff hosting
Awesome band. One of my favorites of all time. Keith Relf's voice sends shivers down my spine.
That is the very SAME EFFECT that Keith's voice had on me!!! I believe that if I had ever met him.....I would have passed out!!!
You had to live back then to get how unreal these shows were presenting the pop singers then. Raw. Real.
Does anyone remember the album Truth by The Jeff Beck Group. It was one of the earliest appearances by a young singer by the name of Rod Stewart.
One of my favorite all time albums. Powerful!
Absolutely! It was listened to closely by the guys in Aerosmith when they were first starting out. Great band that should’ve been bigger. Jeff Beck would later say the biggest mistake he made with them was breaking up the band just before a big festival they were booked for, the festival was Woodstock
I bought it around 1975 and still have it. Great album.
Truth and Beck Ola were done with Rod Stewart
@@debheise7158 and Ron Wood
Never heard of Shivaree..Shindig and hullabaloo I remember. Unaltered dirty sound. The competition just among the British groups was staggering. thanks much lads...
Rest in peace Jeff Beck! I wonder if the folks back then understood just how great a guitarist he would become.
...of course it's why he was in the Yardbirds.
...and Keith Relf too...RIP.
Already was!
I appreciated Jeff's talents and musical abilities
And..... just as someone had commented before me...... Jeff already WAS a great guitarist!!!
- The Marvelous 60s...~🤨🌉🎶
It's hard to believe that "The Yardbirds" had at one time. Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.
They were not in the band at the same time. They had a series of four guitarists.
1) Anthony Topham
2) Eric Clapton
3) Jeff Beck
4) Jimmy Page
When they split up Page was under contract for a few more gigs so he recruited Robert Plant and John Bonham from Band of Joy
and session musician John Paul Jones. They played the shows as the New Yardbirds and then became Led Zeppelin.
There was a period of time when this was IT This was the most interesting thing to listen to. And I was listening to this in '79, I only heard stuff on the radio, but when I found out Jimmy Page was in this old '60's band it intrigued me and I found that Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton were in the group. The best lineup was with Clapton when they did 'Smokestack LIghtning', but this song 'I'm a Man' was something else.They got me into more purist blues rock stuff when I was into Prog Rock.
I've been a fan since 64 65 I have been lucky and have seen Eric and Jeff live Post "Yardbird days", sad that AM radio forced songs to be so short!
Yardbirds started out as a blues band. Just like the Stones. Too bad Keith Relf & Brian Jones didn't meet & were in the same group.
@@aprilgarcia2161 They kinda got the same look !
This sucks
See that old segment from the film "blow Up' where the Yardbirds 'stood in' for The Who, and Jeff Beck did his best Pete Townsend impression and Jimmy Page was on bass, taking Paul Samwell-Smith's spot. Bit of rock and roll heaven that. Clip still on YT.
John Aston and the Yard Birds. Sounds like a trip to heaven.
Will NEVER forget seeing the Y'Birds with Gary Lewis, Bobby Hebb, Brian Hyland and others. Beaumont, Texas back in the day
Wow!. Must've been a great show. 60's were the best
some of the guys from The Six Deep, local garage band, got to go up to their hotel room later and hang out.
great song, great band, great time.
This song was 18 months ahead of the first Hendrix single, Stone Free/Hey Joe!
It's cool to to see The Yardbirds playing Bo Diddley's 1955 song. This concert was performed the year I was born. If only I was born at least 15 years earlier. Then I could have seen a lot of great concerts in the 60s. *Sigh* Thank God for UA-cam though! :-D
Then I guess I was born the year Bo Diddley did the song. 20 years later I saw Bo and Lady Bo perform it at a small club in Berkeley. Only a handful of people came to see them. A shame.
Hey jim what a life you've had, thanks for the music. Heart full of soul was the first full song i learned on guitar.
Great Tune !🤗 👍
Paul Samwell-Smith's bass is the central instrument on this song. He controls the tempo and builds the tension going into the rave-up.
an amazing piece bass work
I went into a trance listening to it.
@@lameduck3630 hahaha
true
Beck has had the same hair for 50 years now.
only now it's a wig
Hey Alfred E. Newman are you laughing at Jeff's hair?
They refer to that style as " Page Boy" ✂
And it still works!
@@lordritchie
LOL! Imagine that?!
I love the Yardbirds too!!!!😅😅
Never thought I'd see Jeff Beck and Gomez Addams in the same video.
NESTE SHOW, FALTAVA 1 ANO PRÁ NASCER. HOJE TENHO 55 ANOS E AÍNDA AMO ESTA BANDA. _LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL* 🇧🇷
Amo o Keith Relf , e seu talento maravilhoso , minha banda que amo demais , os" The Yardbirds"... Keith me lembra meu outro querido Brian Jones, que admiro muito! Amo bandas inglesas , amo tudo que se refere a Inglaterra, meu país da Europa preferido!!!
ANA ! 😘😘👍😍💕
Everyone wanted to be like the yardbirds.
The Yardbirds were at their best with Clapton, Relf, Samwell-Smith, Dreja, McCarty. Raw but cultured, the best live band at The Marquee in Wardour Street.
I appreciate your opinion, but Like the 68 era with Page. All is awesome though so we are both right in our opinions :) ✌
This was poorly captured on Five Live Yardbirds then, when Clapton took short solos, all of them lacking the character that he would find soon after.
@@SmelOdies The Rave Up idea that they used was just taking shape. It started when the would listen to Top Topham's dad's record collection; they picked up on Charlie Parker, Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker and a bunch more. The band started to experiment with it during Top's last summer with the band, 1963, then Eric came on and took it further, but when the band went pop, EC said STOP! and left for Mayall.
Jim MC carty's still about, he's in bargemon France, he's happy, a good friend ❤
Gotta luve their wireless bluetooth tech back then!
this is an old muddy waters song. First song I learned on my bass(yardbirds version ). way back in 1968!
In fact it's a version of Bo Diddley's I'm a Man, speeded up. Muddy Waters sang Mannish Boy which is similar.
@@lameduck3630 I just checked my album credits; e. mcdaniel=bo diddley. mckinley morganfield= muddy waters. you are correct!
Actually Bo Diddley recorded I'm A Man on March 1955 and was released on April 1955. Muddy Waters released A more bluesy version in May 1955 called Manish Boy.
I didn't mention that the "A" side was Bo Diddley and the "B" side was I'm A Man.
Quel kiffe pour l’époque 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks jim, I've just found this, so good to see you again , hope your happy in bargemon,its trev, best wishes always
This performance left me all shivery.
There's a bootleg recording of the Yardbirds at the Marquee Club in 1966, which I found under the name "ZZZ." It's one of the best rock 'n' roll guitar performances I've ever heard -- Beck is all over the place melodically, from straight blues to noise to rockabilly riffs.
Can you post it on youtube?
I sold my copy of the album years ago, I'm sorry to say. But if I can find it already up on YT I'll post a link here.@@1blastman
Brilliant you can see we’re a lot of bands got there ideas from
You're right about the martial beat, I'd noticed that too! I also detected a beat in that song that Led Zeppelin did later in a song called: "Talk About Love"! I wonder if John Bonham (sp?), Led Zeppelin's drummer could've been inspired by Jim's martial beat in "Shapes"?
Show is new to me as are some guests
I thought it was interesting that Jeff Beck turned his back to camera during his solo and also singer put his hand in front of Becks hands in close up of Beck hands. Was his playing style so unique and new that they didn’t want anybody stealing his technique? Interesting.
This was a canned performance. Jeff was just doing some crazy moves to emulate some guitar antics
Funny at the end when Keith put the tambourine around Jeff's neck!
Jim thanks for posting your performance with the YB's. Most of us seem to forget that many groups are meant to be heard live to capture the "feel." You have to have been there to feel it. This track along with "Shapes" are perhaps the signatory ones for the group. Compressing from ~100 dBA to ~45dBA from a such video sound source won't allow a typical Hi-Fi rendition of 60-70dBA... with a 500Hz RIAA roll-off; state of the art for vinyl at the time - for the techies out there.
I'd LOVE to know what John Astin was doing there!
He was a big Yardbirds fan.
Such a Great Band with so many good Songs..not to mention 3 of the greatest Guitarist in Rock and Roll history.
This was a Bo Diddley song.....
sure like to have Becks Esquire guitar.. he gave it to Seymour Duncan back in 85 Great band
+Bob Barcus $100,000 these days ! lol
King tone!
Awesome! RIP JB!!!
great great footage.....truly.....
It's interesting the way Beck waves the guitar around. I wonder if this is before or after he saw Hendrix.
Probably after he met Hendrix. Usually he's standing still and the guitar does the work.
He never met Hendrix
I believe he wanted the crowd to know that it was him laying down those lead riffs not the other guitarist? He looked over at him and then bettered his style!
DucksDeLucks
This version of the Yardbirds was a few years before Hendrix hit the scene.
Hendrix was yet to come. However, he definitely could have taken a cue from Townsend (WHO), whom were setting London on fire with My Generation and other songs at that time.
Love it, sounds like its the version on my Best Of
What a shame the producers wouldn't let them perform live. "Appearances" like these were surreal.
It did sound too clean for live still great harmonica riff
That's the tale that he gave jimmy page, which became the legendary pyscidelic dragon telecaster. Used to record led zeppelin 1
The station that the moderator is talking about is the diamond head of The Ventures.
Yardbirds Fantastic and Always will be Brilliant Iam So Sad.
Other than being screamed out by insane pre-teens, a great post on a great song!
That Telecaster sure made it's rounds !!!###
Even Jean Genie was there.....
yes , jean genie.. thort eye recognized it..
Jeff became Mr. Tambourine Man with the tambourine around his neck...lol! :P
❣️❣️🤠🎶🎶
0:12 Me: Huh, he looks like Gomez Addams.
Announcer: John Astin!
Me: Oh, it is.
how good it could be
john astin was the original Gomez in the Addams family on abc tv
sweet, pure, rock!!!
Yardbirds in their classic early form doing I'm a man
Don't recall this show's. Shindig and Hullabaloo, yes.
Muddy played the stars, then Beck went galactic.
yes that was funny - I`d never seen that in Europe!
yes we were fortunate enough to have missed out on this rubbish
Very cool ! Thanks.
Thanks. Arigato!
Nothing beats the original but hey...couldn't ask for a better cover, great perfomance
shows you how crap pop music shows were in the USA compared to in Britain in Britain they actually listened to the music and did not treat it like a screaming teenybopper fest as Americans did . Thank God we have samples of progs in Britain that gave the bands respect and actually listened to what they did .
Ever see films of "Beatlemania"? The Brits invented "screaming teenyboppers".
This was after Jimmy Page left and Eric Clapton was gone earlier. Rock on ,Jeff! I met Pagey,and Beck with the Yardbyrds back in 1966 at an Armory dance outside LaPorte,Indiana . I went out back during their break and gave Pagey a "stick", cigarette.They chatted with us for awhile and went back in to play. They wore little berets.Nice chaps,then.
Wrong. Jimmy Page hadn't joined the band yet.
terry waller The movie ‘Blowup’-Yardbirds shown in a club, Page and Beck both on guitar..epic! 🎶
Sorry. Jimmy joined after this and they played dueling lead guitars for a while. Then Beck left and Pagey stayed on for a short time.
.
Jim started off playing bass with them
boys singing some old blues tunes
Goddamn Keith you were so cute
helena ronan Yes he was.
Brian Jones, hahaha!
That's Keith Relf. :D
me gusta
carmen mendoza
Me too😂
more fun..
JEFF BECK
RIP Jeff Beck ❤
Man was this band great or what
For you old school rock and rollers like me some info for ya. There were 3 brothers !;! Bobby ;;; David and Dannis hackney out of Detroit ! In 1971 that really ! Started the punk ;;; punk rock music. They called themselves death. Really ! That was the name of the band. Thought I would pass that info along. Salute !;! To all of us old school rock and rollers.
Any band formed in the U.K,were pretty great bands
My Uncle Frank,was over in the a camp just nort of London.
He told me,that when they could go to local English pubs,,there were always people to sing along.
with the piano player.
I love the British,and I'm a Yank!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂
But,ancestrally,I'm 30!% English and Cornish. And I'll always be proup of that.And anyone else.
Would be proud as well.
But,J'm prohd of my I rish as well.
Wd ade all Huma s acter all.❤❤😂😂
Definitely a rare clip. Just wish the sound was better.😢
Well, it looked like a great performance by Beck. I can't be sure because I COULDN'T HEAR A F**KIN' THING EXCEPT FOR THE BASS!!! And that, even though I like the Yardbirds, nobody played this song like Muddy.
Tried to hear Jeff Beck's guitar but the blasted bass dominates
That's why JB moves closer to KR's microphone..nearly pokes his eye out!
@@Baz-Ten😂
@@Baz-Ten It's a mime. I know the cut-through and through. It was what was done on such shows back then. They'd mime the record. The problem is the poor sound quality of the film's audio recording.
It's a mime of the recording. It's due to the poor audio quality of the tape. Almost all shows like this had the bands pretend to play. Ed Sullivan was the only exception I can think of.
Iwas 12 years old when this song and other hreat hits came out.
These guys were great!!
They couldn't write songs like the
Leeno/McCartney or Jagger/Richards groups could. But they could out play them as musicians imho.
They must have had an illuminated "scream" sign overhead.
No, this was just the time if screaming Turks!
Can anyone hear a single note that Jeff played? Was his amp even miked up? I had to imagine what he was playing from his hand positions.
Yeah, I remember those days in Sweden, around 1965.
We had to buy expensive tv-sets, for the luxury of watching a flimmering, 10-minute show, once a week.
We had the choice of either TV1 or TV1. It's hard to remember now, but Sweden was then at the bottom of the technology heap.
ABBA cleared the fog a little bit, during the late 1970's, but the country was still a severly retardet child until 1994, when digital tv made it's entrance.
Love that song!
Probably even less happy about sharing the stage with Gomez Adams.
Evil Roy may be the funniest movie ever made.
I thought they were ahead of their time in real time. Hi Jim.
I've heard of this song. But didn't know the Yardbirds song it.
I never knew the Yardbirds did this either. Spencer Davis Group did it in the late 60's, and I believe Chicago did it in the early 70's.
Claudette Preisinger The Spencer Davis "I'm A Man" is a completely different song. This is a cover of Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man".
Claudette Preisinger memo1269 The Yardbirds' version of I'm A Man, written by Bo Diddley in 1955, is not the same I'm A Man written by Steve Winwood & Jimmy Miller and recorded in 1967 by The Spencer Davis Group and later covered in 1969 by Chicago Transit Authority, later known as Chicago.
+memo1269 - True !!.
Claudette Preisinger Chicago Transit Authority (now known as Chicago) recorded a cover version of "I'm a Man", written by Steve Winwood, for their 1969 debut album, Chicago Transit Authority. When the band's popularity surged after their second album, "I'm a Man" was released as the B-side to a re-release of "Questions 67 and 68". Radio stations ended up playing both sides, and "I'm a Man" reached #49 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1971. - Wikipedia
I love Go-Go dancers.
. . . like Terri Garr !!!
Ha! John Ashton, husband of Patty Duke.
+Nic Lawson Astin and Father of Sean. Addams Family classic.
John is not Sean's birth dad.
No Name They all denied it for whatever reason. Desi Arnaz Jr. is his real father.
A friend named Weed is a friend indeed….
Wow early Spinal Tap. :-)
Never heard of this show Shivaree
lol keith puts the tambourine around beck's neck
Where's Chris's guitar?
No GOMEZ The MAN
John Astin?????? Gomez, from the Addam's Family??????? I'd like to see what he did on this show.
