That's Jeff Beck Playing lead guitar on this Eric Clapton was long gone by this time. Jeff invented the sound and style he's playing in. For some reason they dubbed this recording onto the video and it gives a false impression that Clapton was involved in this recording, which is absolutely ridiculous since he couldn't have possibly have come up with this style or sound since Jeff Beck created it after he replaced Clapton. The band reached their ultimate peak thanks to the many innovations that Jeff pioneered.
Analog tape RULES. Digital will always have those gaps that our subconscious mind senses. They've done tests where they hooked sensors on ppl, played an anolog version of a song and then played a digitized version of the same song. They observed that the digital version produced physiological stress responses in the human body. We sense the spaces that digitization creates and it messes with us, coz it's unnatural. The human brain is amazing.
Ben... I'm assuming you're around 70 now? Rock on, brotha! I was born the year the Yardbirds formed. What an incredible phenomenon they were. Just amazing. Still mind-blowing to this day. If more kids today were exposed to this music, they'd realize how truly pathetic the stuff they're being force fed today really is. My 11 year old is not among the ones missing out. I'm passing it on to him. 🤘👍

@@ronaldolaquidara64 I think they did at some rock and roll hall of fame induction or a charity get together. The real trick would be to get their original guitarist, Top Topham, to make it a foursome. Top was good, but not to the level that the other three are.

I'm so glad he survived. I thought for sure back then that he would go the way of Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison. Thank you Eric for all the years!
Yeah thank Eric...thanks for the concert that cost me a week's wages where you were strung out on something and played 4 songs for an hour completely out of time with your backing band with your back to the audience. Thanks for that, Eric.
This is the version that was on the Epic Record having a race up With the Yardbirds which was released in 1965 My dad bought the record any pay $3.40 for it

From the Rave Up album in America. On the live side is another version and I suspect that was Clapton because I think it was from Five Live Yardbirds. I love this version though; sounds awesome when cranked up.
I don't know what 's going on here,but I'm a bass player and this is the first song I learned. what you are hearing on the bass is not what the fingering on the bass is playing.
These guys were so Bad@ss! They were The British Group who never forgout their Blues Influence and I feel that they bought it into their Recordings much stronger than The Beatles & Rolling Stones.

Always loved this song! Fantastic!
This song is a smokin number!!

They sure did......
Terry kath was never a bird
@@johnwinger2240 …so you don’t know who the 3 guitarists were? Clapton/Beck/Page. The latter turned the remainder of the yardbirds into Led Zeppelin.
Mayall: Clapton, Taylor, Green
Yardbirds: Clapton, Beck, Page. Common denominator: Clapton #1.
I remember watching them playying this live on Ready Steady Go - I was about 12. I recorded it on an open reeel tape recorder.

Jeff Beck plays on this studio version. Clapton plays on the "Five Live Yardbirds" version. The Who also recorded a slower version on their 1st album.
@Coogan I do have to agree that both of the Yardbirds' versions are better.
They just don't know how to jam anymore. Rock n Roll baby. RIP Jeff Beck.

This is NOT the 1964 live version with Eric Clapton. This is the studio version recorded in 1965 with Jeff Beck.
Good enough
I agree. Thats not Eric.
Right. This was the single released in the US as well as on ....Rave Up side 1. Side 2 has the earlier live Clapton version.
@haltmusic That's why it's better. Jeff Beck!
That's better then
They were a precursor to what would become heavy metal.
This was fantastic awesome good.
Amazing! Thanks.
Killer rendition!⚡️⭐️✨🤣😃😊🤗💙😍Great presentation😘😘😘🤣

seem like The Yardbirds .
