Fillmore East 5-2/3-1969, Jeff Beck, Joshua Light Show 

I was at the Gaelic Proark show too, amazing show ...... I thought the crowd was going to tear the place apart when Jeff's arrival was delayed due to a traffic accident....... Jeff, Tim Bogert, Carmine Apice and a singer named Kim Milford...... the crowd went absolutely Nutz, I remember that after that show my wife and I became instant fans and we saw almost every show after that whenever Jeff came to America, I would attend at least one show per tour ......... I'm still shaken to the core as a result of his death and I will forever be greatful to have seen him in action. R.I.P. Sir Jeff !!!!

@@johnzane4610 It wound up being a good thing for us that Beck was late in getting there, because my older brothers friend wound up ingesting some bad hallucinogen he'd bought there and wound up at Beth Israel. They released him with us and we hurried back to the concert really just as Beck and Co were taking the stage. I think that was the first occasion of him playing with Bogart and Appice. I seem to recall he played a white Strat and at one point set it down in front of him and proceeded to get some otherwordly sounds from it. Didn't care too much for the singer. Did get to see Argent and I think another band called Flash if I recall correctly. Beck was doing things with his guitar and getting sounds that I hadn't heard on any of his records. I was 16 at the time. Told all of my friends about it and like you began to look for every opportunity to see him play. At that time he had a big impact on my life and I have to be thankful to him for that. As I said, really can't believe he's gone. thanks for sharing your story.

I still feel pretty damn cheated. The man lived a healthy lifestyle. 😢

Thank you Jesus ❤

@@melodymakermark How could You feel cheated after almost 60 years of treasured music & tours.

@Denny, because my hero just wasn’t supposed to die. He just wasn’t. I saw him last in 2019 and I was looking forward to 2029. I hear you though. What a run he had.

Sadly those days were finished when managers wanted big bucks for their band( Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant). Things changed then and now has only gotten worse.

@@danielcombs3207 thats why i stopped listening to rock /pop when sick monsters like madonna and m jackson appeared

Yes! I was at that show, too! Amazing you still have the program. I was in the front too, way off to the left. I remember Rod Stewart sort of weirdly isolated from the band, he was on the left side, directly in front of me, not in the middle of the stage where most singers are usually positioned. The Fillmore always felt like a high school auditorium to me, it was small and intimate.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I put this together mainly for the light show. I have the silent film from the Historic Films Channel and set to music from the Us tour.

I was there ALSO at this show and your recollection s are exactly on POINT. I remember Beck walking off stage and Bill Graham making amends with the Audience. Beck's Audacity was evident even THEN. A GREAT BAND... I also wish there were MORE videoes of these shows... Thanks! Rachela.....

@@fenderbass3847 Oh, how exciting, those were wonderful shows for sure! When he walked off stage I didn't take it as audacity but more of a pharmacology incident. He was giggling and looking here and there, even the rest of the band were surprised. But the strains of A Little Help from My Friends still echo within my mind, we were very fortunate to have experienced this...

Cool story. I was there also

Yes, saw Jeff Beck at the Island Garden in N.Y . Most likely the yr. before. It ,was a tour and a stop just before going to Fillmore East.The Band was struggling ,either w/ monitors or acoustics or stoned out of their skulls. Local Bands opened for them .Stewart ,was a virtual up and coming singer, It ,was very cool to see Him at a local venue.

Richard, thank you very much. My focus is always on the lightshow. The clips were silent and because most of the people can`t stand silent movies i undelayed the film with some recording from their 1969 us tour.

Yes.

Focus was his problem- he had too much of a free spirit and he just wanted to have fun… imagine if he had the drive to write songs and work on developing his voice - cuz he had a good voice

I agree.

this was not amateur though , at the time ,this was top of their game psychedellic liquid lightshow

The JBG was imploding. Rod & Woody were stealing eggs in NYC just to eat. Even the roadies ate better than the rest of the band. Peter *(Pumpkin Eater) Grant was a 'Huge' business end rip~off. They were completely slated to play '69 Woodstock, and backed out. Jeff wasn't the easiest to get along with in those days, and was notoriously unstable. There were some unfounded rumors that Jeff's wife was shagging around while he was on tour, but it was never confirmed, and the marriage finally did end in a divorce. ` I seen them on the same '68 & '69 tours, only at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, and although they played remarkable, i always had the feeling that the show could abruptly end premature for some reason. If Jeff walked~off in Detroit, like he did at the Fillmore East, i think he would have got his ass kicked~haha. Anyway, like someone mentioned here, even though i witnessed Beck in all of his creations, i would have to say Hands Down, this was my favorite period of Jeff's long & illustrious career. A side note here, supposedly sometime during the 1969 USA tour, Jeff's Les Paul was stolen in Detroit, although some claim it was NYC, which could add fire to an already aggressive & pissed~off Mr. Beck~()~La? Many m()()ns ago, I do remember reading that an interviewer asked Jeff what was his favorite city to play in, and Beck said..."New York City has the best audiences". *God Speed Jeff in a Souped~up Ford Coupe.

@@dennymcfastlane8530 the rumors about his wife were when he was on tour in the US with the Yardbirds. They were unfounded.

@@davidratcliffe1 Long time ago David, thanks for jogging my memory. But i guess it still didn't take much to upset Jeff back then. What do you expect from a extremely gifted temperamental artist like Beck. Also, another reason for the JBG not to play '69 Woodstock was that they were slated to go on after the 'HOT' Sly Stone & the Family Stone.

Better to have poor film of the Jeff Beck Group than none at all!

Il film non può essere doppiato perché la fonte è priva di suono. Ho accompagnato questo film con una registrazione dal vivo perché altrimenti un commento su due è: "Manca il suono". La mia preoccupazione principale è lo spettacolo di luci del Fillmore East, che si vede molto bene in questa registrazione.

@@phoenixretrolight3460 È un peccato, perché quel periodo di JB è poco documentato.

Tom Thumb BUM YOUR attendants are here w/meds....!!

@@douglasknoll3500 Oh, Dougass, sorry, I don't speak monkey.
