THE YARDBIRDS in Blowup (Train Kept 'a Rollin') 

Jimmy Page smiling, just happy to be there. Beck mad at the world.

A lot of people wish they could go back in time to America in the 80's. I want to go back in time to the UK in the 60's. 🇬🇧

I love how Keith Relf has such cool theatricals here, the core of rock vocalists! They say Antonioni didn't understand the counterculture but I see he captured both its impact and irony.

The audience is hypnotized under the state of "Rock and Roll"

it surprises me that no one point out that the point of the scene and the entire movie is so well explained here, for the crowd that piece of the guitar was very valuable, while in the street nobody cared, just the difference between reality and perception

The girl in the stripy trousers is Janet street porter.

After Beck smashes his guitar I bet he would still have still sounded better than most other guitarists!

The simply godlike Yardbirds. How great was Keith Relf sounding as good live as he did on record.

FOR 218maryland: I love Page very much and I recognize that from 1967 to 1968 he really contributed to the sonic innovation of the electric guitar and that he was a skilled virtuoso (even if his technique wasn't perfect). However, we cannot gloss over the correct chronology, who he did before and what. Undoubtedly, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend and also Lou Reed, in the purely acid rock field, were the real revolutionaries especially in the search for electric sounds never heard before, and even in the production of pure noise with the electric guitar, already in 1965 (Townshend actually began in late 1964). Thus, they clearly preceded not only Hendrix, but also Jimmy Page, who at the time was only the session man for other people's pop songs. Furthermore, if we go from guitarists who acquired some fame to those who remained semi-unknown, we must remember the guitarists of bands such as Oxford Circle (Live 1966), Fifty Foot Hose (demo 1966), Red Krajola (listen the Live 1967, with noisy jams of 30 minutes!), Electric Prunes (1965-66) and other minor groups, who used fuzz, distortion, tremolos and other extremely acid effects, always before Hendrix (and even Page). Not to mention experimental and avant-garde soloists and bands like Keith Rowe from AMM (prepared guitar like John Cage did with the piano...), Derek Bailey (free improvisation totally without chords), Bjorn Foongard (chamber music composer with totally atonal prepared electric guitar from which he made any sound and noise), Sonny Sharrock (experimental free-jazz-rock electric guitar) and many other semi-unknown ones, unfortunately! You can read up on RU-vid, you can find everything! Some of these guitarists (like Fongaard and Rowe) began experimenting already in the late 1950s, or early 1960s, so even before Jeff Beck and all the electric acid rock guitarists of the 60s, and in any case in a different field than rock, but with a notable influence on following psychedelic and experimental rock (Keith Rowe, for example, was a model of inspiration for Syd Barrett). Yes: "we are more alike than different"... Thanks for your very polite answer and I wish you a good life.

The director, to all the extras, before he yelled ACTION. "OK folks. Remember. As badass as the music is, everyone do not move. The first person who starts dancing, or begins to tap their toes, will NOT get paid."

Yes, that’s Jimmy Page playing rhythm guitar. Just before he took over and made it Led Zeppelin

The movie "Blow Up" has a Yardbirds performance with Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page in the line up. If you want to understand Swingin' Sixties London this movie has that vibe.

Just struck me how dangerous that was to film: that was really Jeff Beck and really Jeff Beck’s guitar and actual Yardbirds fans going genuinely hysterical over a sharp piece of splintered wood while women on stiletto heels got pushed over the front of the stage. That guitar neck today would probably be worth a few million.

Keith and Jeff were so cool and Chris.

apparently the audience wants skiffle

So brilliant.

Beck and Page together on stage, amazing.

Jeff Beck 1944-2023. Sad!

This segment also records the exact history of the real life yardbirds, as Beck started flaking out, leaving Jimmy to take the reins, and then magically transform it into Led Zeppelin

the crowd be like: wow, yardbirds. anyways

just saw this movie yesterday on local cable.....now sadly jeff beck has passed away

THE FIRST HEAVY-METAL BAND.

Man look at how much energy that crowd is bringing! I'm waiting for a Pit to erupt! Edit: 1:10 there IT IS!!!! HAHAHA

I did not give this song any attention until watchings this film part. What amazes me is that the fuzz sound from the guitars is actually rougher than the sound of the Who in the same period. Maybe this was why Pete Townshend came into Jim Marshalls shop and asked: "JIm, I need bigger weapons!" ??

ROCK N ROLL MOTHERS....‼❤🖤🍄🍒💯✌🤘✊✊🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍄🍄🍄🍻🍻🍻1966.......JIMMY'S JAMMING AND BECK IS PISSED

Rockin blues on Carnaby street

This is a movie, the director is building the tension for the climatic scene, if the crowd was moving around it would ruin the scene. 2:51

Wow I never seen a zombie audience..

It’s a Mod Mod world

Jeff Beck como parte de The Yardbirds en 1966 y en una escena de la película Blow Up, basada en un cuento de Cortázar, y con la dirección de Michelangelo Antonioni... la movida londinense de esa época y los Yardbirds tocaban más agresivo que cuando estuvo Clapton. Claro, si el otro guitarrista era Jimmy Page, que le trajo 'peso' a los Yardbirds. Un blues rock agresivo para 1966, y lo que destaca es que a Beck's, cuando no le responde bien el amplificador, lo destroza con su guitarra muy enojado, y, a lo Pete Townshend, también hace añicos a su guitarra... Beck tenia su carácter y esto estuvo libretado pero sustentado en Beck's... muy muy pleno verlos a Page y Beck juntos. Jeff ingresó A los Yardbirds en reemplazo de Clapton por recomendación del propio Jimmy. DEP Beck's * no creo que les haya caído muy en gracia la escena a los Yardbirds, por ser la rutina original de The Who, de destruir guitarra, amplificadores y batería. Pero era una película de Antonioni y le hicieron al requerimiento

The song is called “Stroll On” 🎶🎸👍🏼

Jeff Beck would not had that problem if his amps were Fenders.

And I am remembering the Rory's Strat - how did he get it and how it served him...

The girl at 1:33 is Darcy Frey

I love Harold

Director of Blow up Wanted The WHO Yardbirds Was available 1966

The old Vox Beatle basher amp is what broke but he takes it out on his guitar. Jimi smiling thinking hey dude, were are you going with that guitar neck in your hand.

The mod scene during that time was wonderfully odd.

Page laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Apparently Beck's guitar was borrowed from Steve Howe (later of Yes); I hope they paid him for it.

Jimmy Psge was Great ! Listen to him. ❤ jon fisher

the 2 Vox amps against the wall

Jeff Beck, well in advance of Hendrix, starts the song with a very long feedback, makes the amplifiers sizzle, manages to produce real electric discharges from the guitar distortions (listen from minute 1.40). He is the real innovator of the electric rock guitar, the one who invented a thousand electric effects, together with Pete Townshend, certainly not Jimi Hendrix!

so funny beck with the obviously prop guitar to smash up. ha ha ha

Vox amps? Hendrix and Page used Marshall. Clapton used Fender.

A very young Janet Street Porter grooving at the back in silver coat and striped trousers @ 1.19

The historic moment when Jeff Beck stopped playing archtops and picked up the Les Paul.

The PPL set amazed like they never heard uv Rockin- Roll until they cut loose😂😂😂😂😂

Beck doing Townsend

That blond dude looks like I imagine Stewie Griffin would look like when he grows up.

Swinging London in the sixties?

Early punk rock in 1965 !!

They wanted the Who...But got this instead...Thus the guitar smash...From.what I've read they considered the whole thing a big joke...

Directors 1st choice for this segment was The Who but they passed it up.

Stroll On*

Jeff Beck thought that the film Blow Up was rubbish. The director wanted to use The Who, but they were not available, or didn't want to do it.

How the hell is no one going crazy in the crowd? Barely anyone bumping their heads too. Everyone just watching like if its a poetry recital

I bet the after party on Blow Up was rather good.....

the crowd was stoned

Jimmy is god.

Jeff Beck broke a guitar. That's just not right.

This is a Cover of Honey Hush …Johnie Burnette…back in the early 50s….the vocals are different…I think it’s a better version…50s version

...Jeff Beck gitárját csak igy eldobni_hmmm.

I don’t know what this movie is about but that is one dead crowd

Indo sendiri

I hate to be that guy but, as much as I like this version, Aerosmiths version is a trillion times better

Eric

For god's sake Jeff, just use a different cable man

So John Lydon stole the look from Keith Relf

That guitar Jeff smashed up was just a cheap arch top he didn't use, he wouldn't smash his regular guitar that the film producer wanted, he had more sense!!

Die Version von Johnny Burnette ist um ein vielfaches besser.

neurasthenic comedy

Pretty dead crowd

With Jimmy there, don’t need Jeff anyway.

Nothing compared to Johnny Burnette

Not very good

Stroll on, not The Train Kept Rollin.
