This was a supergroup - featuring guitar legends Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. "Heart Full of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You" are among their best songs. As for The British Invasion, it included many bands you've reacted to -The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Zombie's, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, The Hollies, The Yardbirds, and Manfred Mann. Some bands that were part of that movement that you HAVEN'T reacted to - The Dave Clark Five, The Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Small Faces, The Troggs, Chad & Jeremy, Peter and Gordon, The Pretty Things, and Freddie and the Dreamers.
Yep, Led Zeppelin's original name was "The New Yardbirds" and they booked some of their first concerts under that name. The Yardbirds even played "Dazed and Confused."
ya beat me to it Patrick, good knowledge!
Not really a Supergroup -- just that some legendary musicians came through the band. Eric Clapton left very early on over multiple differences, replaced by Jeff Beck & soon Jimmy Page also joined.
Isn't a Supergroup a band made up of musicians who were already famous on their own. Like the Traveling Wilburys. This would be a band whose members would go on to be superstars on their own.
Yes, they need to hit DC5.
Yardbird originally referred to the chickens one kept in the yard to eat bugs and scraps. Then it became a term for any group of disoriented squawkers like a group of kids. Next it came to mean criminals in the prison "yard". All of these meanings are still around depending on usage.
On the other hand: a ‘yard-bird’ is a convict; or occasionally, a ‘greenhorn’.
Down South sometimes the term 'yard-dog' is used to describe person who got all the sheeit jobs. The butt of all jokes. Teats onna boarhog kinda worker, if you will. The Rodney Dangerfield of the job, so to speak.
Also trucker slang for the drivers that spot (move trailers around yard to/from loading dock) trailers but never drive outside the property.
And to describe the meanest worker that should be kept onna chain and fed only raw meat.
@@MrPercy112 Besides being another word for a "jailbird" -- it was one of the nicknames of jazz great Charlie 'Bird' Parker.
I've always called chickens yard birds, and I've been to prison. Lol
I've only known the prisoner definition.
Three of the worlds greatist guitarists from one band.
Indeed. Jeff Beck R.I.P.
Yeah, weird part was the Jimmy Page was playing bass for them in that lineup while Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton were on guitar. Weird to think of Jimmy Page on bass and NOT playing lead guitar. When "For your Love" was first recorded, Paul Sameul-Smith was the bass player.
A MUST HEAR Classic,, The Yardbirds "Heart Full Of Soul"...TRUST ME!!
This is the song that caused Clapton to leave the band. He wanted to go in a blues direction, and this song showed him that the rest of the band was more interested in going pop. So he left, and went to join John Mayall's Blues Breakers (which also had John McVie, later of Fleetwood Mac). Clapton suggested that his friend Jimmy Page join the Yardbirds, but Page declined (at the time) and the band picked up Jeff Beck instead. After a while with Mayall, Clapton and Jack Bruce left that band to join with drummer Ginger Baker to form Cream. Jeff Beck left the Yardbirds to form the Jeff Beck Group, fronted by singer Rod Stewart. Jimmy Page did eventually join the Yardbirds, but they fell apart, and in Jimmy's attempt to rebuild the band, he formed Led Zeppelin.
I didn't know this.
Thank you for sharing this.
🎶✌️🎵
Nice. A concise history lesson on rock and roll and the origins of the greats like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and on and on. So much of it intersects with The Yardbirds.
PERFECT ANSWER !!!!!!
You hit the nail on the head!
Incidentally, Page still had to fulfill a contracted mini tour of Scandinavia. So, upon the formation of what became Led Zeppelin, the band toured Scandinavia under the name “The New Yardbirds”.
So just to be clear, was it Clapton on this record? I've never been able to keep it straight in my head who was the guitarist at any given time in their history.
They were named after Charlie Parker, the great alto sax giant, whose nickname was Yardbird, often just shortened to Bird.
Definitely 60’s …. harmonies were good rhythm was decent I liked the group… are yardbirds like pigeons :/
@@sheilameyers152 It's southern slang for chicken.
Parker's nickname was "Bird," not "Yardbird."
@@chetcarman3530 Charlie Parker was bestowed the nickname “Yardbird” (eventually shortened to “Bird”) while on a tour bus (full of fellow musicians) when a chicken (in the middle of the road) was run over and killed. Mr. Parker halted the bus and collected the dead bird, which was plucked, dressed, and served for dinner later that night.
@@Keffinated Following a couple of gigs in September 1963 as the Blue-Sounds, they changed their name to the Yardbirds. McCarty claims that Relf was the first to use the name; he may have got it from Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road, where it referred to rail yard hobos. He adds that Topham identified it as a nickname for jazz saxophonist Charlie "Yardbird" Parker.
I have always liked the Yardbirds "over, under, sideways down" . Just one their great hits. As mentioned great musicians traveled through John Mayall's 'Blues Beakers '
The British Invasion as we call it is my all-time favorite musical genre. Loads of great artists came from that period and there were even some great bands from Britain during that time that were really good but just never made a dent here in America (The Herd, The Equals, and The Sorrows come to mind). I can tell you some of the favorites from my list, including the solo acts are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, Chad & Jeremy, Cilla Black, Cream, The Dave Clark 5, Donovan, Dusty Springfield, The Animals, The Hollies, The New Vaudville Band, Freddie & the Dreamers, The Kinks, Manfred Mann, Marianne Faithfull, Mary Hopkin, The Moody Blues, Peter & Gordon, Petula Clark, Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, Sandie Shaw, The Spencer Davis Group, The Foundations, The Fourmost, The Searchers, Brian Poole & the Tremeloes, The Who, The Troggs, Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders, The Yardbirds, The Zombies, The Applejacks, Lulu, Procul Harum, The Honeycombs, Silkie, Small Faces, Traffic, The Bee Gees, Flying Machine, and The Walkers Brothers (who really weren't British but transplanted Americans who weren't even brothers or even named Walker). If you're wondering why The Who, The Bee Gees, The Stones, and others who were big in the 70s are on the list it's because they all got their start in the 60s and were contemporaries. Look up some really early Bee Gees and Moody Blues and you'll see. As big as the Stones were in the 70s they never had as many hits as they did back in the 60s when they went toe to toe with the Beatles. Others who may be considered would be Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, The Endevers, The Eyes, and The Move. When you dig into it you'll find a lot of bands had hits with songs written by Paul McCartney as he was so prolific he not only wrote Beatle hits but hits for Badfinger, The Fourmost, Peter & Gordon, The Applejacks, Mary Hopkin, and Cilla Black to name just a few, so the Beatles definitely had a huge influence on the sound of the day.
I lived through the British Invasion! Absolutely loved this song! So magical for me! ❤️
It was the best Invasion this country ever had!
When my parents were dating my Mom got mad at my Dad so he got drunk with his buddies, climbed the tree outside her window & sang this song until she talked to him. They've been married for 53 years so guess it worked!
Thanks for that wonderful story.
Beauty of ones favorite songs my folks were teenagers in the late 50s and I guess my dad had like an amateur doo-wop group and that's how him and my mom met his group doing a version of Earth Angel one of my mom's favorite songs from her childhood anyways amazing story God bless
I love reading comment section because of the stories like this)
The Brit invasion groups were toddlers during World War II and grew up in post-war Britain. Can't help but think that the tough-it-out attitude at the time gave energy and creativity to the Music that developed then.
Also fun to note - the tinny chords are being played on a harpsichord… the 60s were a fun, experimental time for music
Thank you! I just googled that...Keyboardist Brian Auger
@@geriroush8004 Brian Auger went on to be in Steampacket with Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll. Then with Trinity and Julie Driscoll and the Trinity, “This Wheel’s On Fire” - later used as the theme tune for Absolutely Fabulous.
Then Oblivion Express, and later toured with Eric Burdon…. (and a lot of other stuff with a lot of other people).
Most notable ex-members- Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page.
Jimmy Page later formed the New Yardbirds, you might know them better as Led Zeppelin.
Just FYI: Jimmy Page was the last guitarist for the Yardbirds and was under contract to finish touring, but was the only member left. He forned the New Yardbirds to full fill his obligations, they soon after changed their name to Led Zeppelin and the rest is history.
Yes but they reformed a couple times the original group with the original singer in the '80s and '90s for some reunions and plus I'm pretty sure at one point in time there was Jimmy Page the new Yard birds AKA led Zeppelin and the actual Yardbirds with the original vocalist
@@eternallife9786 Sadly, this is incorrect. The original Yardbirds vocalist Keith Relf died in an accident in 1976. He was actually electrocuted by his amplifier.
@@bms9144- I always thought Keith’s talent was so under appreciated. The guitarist are constantly mentioned but Keith had a great voice and could play a mean harmonica.
The Yardbirds were my first concert in 1966 when I was 13 years old. I was in the 3rd row, and I witnessed Jimmy Page's Very First American performance. He played bass. Jeff Beck was the lead guitarist who replaced Clapton.
As a matter of fact, Jimmy Page admired Jeff Beck so much that, even though he was a guitarist himself, he actually joined The Yardbirda as their bassist, JUST so that he could play with his idol. Pretty cool, huh?
This was written by Graham Gouldman -- who wrote The Hollies' Bus Stop -- and MANY other songs, for a lot of artists.
And that high pitched drum at the end was the smaller side of a set of (both already small) bongos. ✌️
At various points the Yardbirds featured guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page. Jimmy was the last of the three, and people called Led Zeppelin the New Yardbirds before they got their name. They were an extremely influential band. Try "Heart full of Soul", "Train kept rollin", and "Manish Boy".
"Heart Full of Soul" has some killer guitar! And "Shapes of Things" has great lyrics.
The "drums" you're wondering about is a bongos set that Jeff Beck is playing. He's normally a lead guitarist for the group but the Harpsichord is playing what you would think of as the guitar strumming parts, so he played the bongos on that song. The harpsichord was a precursor to the piano and has a very distinctive sound because playing the keyboard plucks the strings whereas playing the keyboard hammers the strings with a felt striker. The harpsichord was primarily a Baroque and Renaissance instrument, so it had a sound most kids hadn't heard when they used it here.
There were a lot. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, The Dave Clark 5, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Herman and the Hermits, Freddy and the Dreamers, The Animals (later known as Eric Burdon and the Animals), The Searchers, The Kinks, The Spencer Davis Group, Manfred Man,The Moody Blues, The Zombies, Them (with Van Morrison), Peter and Gordon, and I'm sure there were more. I remember being very resentful of the Dave Clark 5 in 1964 because they were the second group to appear that year on the Ed Sullivan Show and were very competitive with their music trying to outdo the Beatles. They also had a lot of #1 hits. Was a great time for music and I lived it. The first song I learned to play on the bass was the Yardbirds "Shapes of Things" in 1966.
"For Your Love" was released in 1965. The album with that song was the last recording with Eric Clapton. Eric suggested that the Yardbirds ask Jimmy Page as a replacement. Jimmy was still happy working in the Studio world and suggested Jeff Beck. During Jeff's tenure with the band, Bassist Paul Samwell Smith quit (1996). They asked Jimmy Page to fill in on bass until Chris Dreja who was the rhythm guitarist could take over on bass. During a US Tour, Jeff became ill, so Chris had to take over bass at that point and Jimmy moved to lead guitar. Once they were back in London, Jeff reunited with the Yardbirds and Jimmy stayed on to share lead/rhythm duties with Jeff. For extra giggles, in May of 1966 (prior to Jimmy joining the band), Jeff beck was working on a solo project - "Beck's Bolero" to be released as a single. It is an epic piece and a must listen for those that appreciate 60's British Rock. The recoding included Jeff Beck on lead guitar, Keith Moon (The Who), Nick Hopkins (session keyboard player), John Paul Jones (session bassist) and Jimmy Page on 12 String Guitar. JPJ and JP would ultimately become Led Zeppelin.
Eventually, Jeff Beck became tired of touring with the Yardbirds, leaving Chris Dreja, Jimmy Page, Keith Relf and Jim McCarty. In 1968, Keith and Jim left. At this time the Yardbirds were managed by Peter Grant. A Scandinavian tour was scheduled for the summer. This was an opportunity to create a new line up. Dreja decided to become a photographer. Page recruited Robert Plant as the new singer, Plant's friend, John Bonham on drums and John Paul Jones offered his services on bass and keyboards as he had worked with Jimmy as a session player/arranger prior to the Yardbirds and with the Yardbirds. 3 concerts were performed on the Yardbirds/New Yardbirds name before transitioning to Led Zeppelin, with Peter Grant as their manager.
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎹🥁🎸🔉🔉🔉🔉😎
Didn't Keith and Jim rejoin The Yardbirds in like the '80s and 90s for reunion shows
Jay should have had his daily dose of bongos from this song!! That is the drum your were asking about at the end of the song.
😆😆😆 I agree! Jay! Bongos!
Sounds more like a cowbell to me, but I could be wrong 😅
The Yardbirds are one of the great early English rock bands from the 60's. The band is known for starting the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds had a lot of great hits including "Heart Full Of Soul", "Shapes Of Things", "Over Under Sideways Down", "I'm A Man", "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", "Train Kept A-Rollin'", "I Ain't Got You" etc.
Not too shabby
I liked that Shape of Things...used it in a movie....can't remember the movie name.
@@fricky11111 hahaha!
That's the list to go with.
Yardbird's took the name direct from BIRD. BIRD= the genius Charlie Parker. |Bird was always eating chicken other nickname was YardBird. Hence the Yardbird Suite. All great Blues ,funk, pop waters down from Jazz .In Britain we don't have yards as such. The great British Blues scene late 50s and 60s sit right with the Modern jazz scene of the time.
Thx, huge and iconic group. Catchy melody and orchestration, pleasant vocals and haunting percussions. My fav track by them is "Still iI'm sad".
The Beatles did really start shortly followed by The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Kinks, The Who, The Dave Clark Five, the Moody Blues, Peter & Gordon, The Hollies and then there were the ladies: Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and Petulla Clark.
And Chad and Jeremy
I’m impressed!
The Dave Clark Five, Gerry and the Pacemakers.
@@harrytryon6782 Paul Revere and the Raiders. (GB?)
Don’t forget the Animals
You guys should react to more of The Yardbirds…
"Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", "Over Under Sideways Down", "I'm a Man", "The Train Kept A-Rollin", "I Ain't Got You", "You're a Better Man Than I", "Little Games"
🎸🤘
Train kept a rolling is actually called stroll on when performed by them in the movie blow up
And the version of “Shapes of Things “ by The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart as the then shy singer.
yes all these are their best songs
@@ed.z. David Bowie also did a reasonable version of Shapes on his covers album Pinups.
Good list!
👏👏You know, I do like Jay's definition of Yardbirds even though I have never heard of that before! However, I read an article and I do hope it is correct. the article mentioned that one of the members of the group 'Top Topham' identified their group name as a nickname for jazz saxophonist Charlie "Yardbird" Parker. Just so you know. I barely remember hearing this song on the radio when I was little! I nearly forgot about this song! Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕👍👏
This is another song penned by Graham Gouldman, later of 10cc. Gouldman was famous around the Manchester music scene ( The Yardbirds were a Manchester band) for writing hit songs for just about every band except his own, The Mockingbirds.
Another Manchester based, British Invasion, band of the time was Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. They had a big hit with "The Game Of Love" which prompted Fontana to go solo and for guitarist Eric Stewart to take over lead vocals for the Mindbenders. After the Mindbenders split, Stewart purchased a sound studio with the idea of becoming a sound engineer. He was soon joined by Gouldman who wanted somewhere to write songs. He was contracted to write bubble-gum pop songs for K & K, at the time. They soon hired two art-school session musos: Lol Creme and Kevin Godley and after backing Neil Sedaka on his come back album, 10cc was born.
Fun fact: The first time the members of 10cc appear on record together was on a Gouldman penned song released by K & K, "Sausalito: Is The Place To Go". Ostensibly by American band "Ohio Express" the track was recorded in England and featured only the future members of 10cc.
Heart full of soul
Over under side ways down.
Two good ones
There are many many bands from the British Invasion...The Beatles,The Kinks, The Yardbirbs, The Who,The Hollies, The Animals, The Zombie, The Dave Clark Five, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Manfred Mann, The Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones, The Troggs, Procol Harum, and many more! Great music!!
You are hearing the beginning of icons still out here 60 years later..I'm a Man, Heart Full of Soul.
Love the Yardbirds.
"Heart Full of Soul"
"Over Under Sideways Down"
"Shapes of Things"
"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago"
This song was on your transistor radio every 20 minutes. Other invasion bands of the 60's were the Rolling Stones, Kinks, Animals, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Searchers, Dave Clark 5, Manfred Mann, Herman's Hermits, Hollies and the Tremeloes just to name a few.
It seems like yesterday. Really.
I grew up as a kid in the sixties and I listened to all these great british bands on my portable AM transistor radio. The Animals, Hollies, Dave Clark Five, Hermans Hermit's, Kinks, Who, Yardbirds, Gerry & the pacemakers, Chad & Jeremy and the list just keeps going on and on. Sweet music defined the sixties and I absolutely do not regret growing up in that wonderful decade. Love your reactions to the sixties music!
You are SOOOOO right. I don't care what ANYONE says, I lived through the "50s, '60s, and up until the present day, and the '60 is STILL the decade that had the BEST MUSIC, MOST INOVATIONS, CHANGES, STYLES, be it British Invasion, or the American bands, it was ALL GOOD. Keep in mind that rock and roll was still very young then, so there was a LOT of room for changes and things we had never heard before. It was truly a "groundbreaking" decade.
This is the one I've been waiting for you guys to get to. The yardbirds were a great band that has three great legendary guitarist who went on too create a legendary career in the music business.
All right my babies..... The drum roll that you hear at the very end of this track is a set of bongo drums. I've always thought this song was ahead of its time because of the tempo. 💯😎👍🏼
Surfing music beat on verse and chorus. Straight ahead Rock and Roll on the bridge where you hear Eric Clapton playing but not on the Harpsichord section.
My favorite Yardbirds songs:
You’re A Better Man Than I (Jeff Beck literally paves the way for melodic soloing like Pink Floyd and Jeff is David Gilmour’s favorite guitarist.)
Shapes Of Things
Heart Full Of Soul
Evil Hearted You
Over Under Sideways Down
I’m A Man
Still I’m Sad
The Nazz Are Blue (lead vocal by Jeff Beck)
Hot House Of Omagararshid
Happenings Ten Years Time Ago
Think About It
Jeff Beck Group:
Beck’s Bolero
I Ain’t Superstitious (lead vocal by Rod Stewart)
Rice Pudding
Chad & Jeremy, Herman’s Hermits, Freddie & the Dreamers, Gerry & the Pacemakers, the Troggs, the Dave Clark Five(my Favorites), Peter & Gordon, the Animals, the Zombies , the pretty things, the Merseybeats, Procol Harum, the Rolling Stones, the Moody Blues, and a bunch of solo artists like LuLu, Petula Clark, Tom Jones
Good list!
add the solo artist Donovan
Also Manfred Mann, Spencer Davis Group, The Honeycombs , Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakodas, The Tremeloes, Marianne Faithfull
Cilla Black
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
Finally! Somebody’s doing some Yardbirds. Many more hits to cover.
You are the first guys that have actually acknowledged that this is a psychedelic song. This is Eric Clapton‘s last outing with The Yardbirds before he left the band. I believe that this is the first truly Gothic song because of the harpsichord played by Brian Auger. His girlfriend, Julie, Driscoll, ran The Yardbirds, Fanclub. I believe it was recorded in 1964, but released in 1965
I love the music of the 60's. I graduated High School in 1971, so this is what I grew up on.
It’s the BONGOS! Lol. I tried to play them. Loved the sound and you can carry them anywhere
There's a British Invasion band you have to listen to. The Dave Clark Five had tons of hits in the 60s. They would trade places with the Beatles at number 1 on the charts regularly. Some of their hits include Catch Us If You Can, Glad All Over, Because, Any Way You Want It (my personal favorite), Over and Over, and I Like it Like That.
They also need to do the kinks
Bits And Pieces, too.
Yes yes, DAVE CLARK 5 !
🥇🥇🥇
✨️✨️✨️
Great to hear you two enjoying OUR music...
Near the end of your video, there is a picture, just before the back cover of the album that shows the lead singer (long blonde hair) and the guitar player (short hair, red guitar) next to him.
The guitar player is a very, very young Eric Clapton
A real sixties song, brings me back to my youth, I was about 10 years old then. I love it. 💕💕👍🎶🎶
The Dave Clark Five was a super group. So many 60's hits. "Glad All Over", Catch us if You Can", " Over and Over" and so many more!!!
My favorite 60s Brit band.
Conga drums and bongo drums were widely used back in those days. These types of drums were very portable along with flutes, acoustic guitars and so on.
A lot of the credit for The British Invasion goes to Ed Sullivan who continually brought these amazing bands over to North America starting with The Beatles.
Love this song and The Yard Birds. I remember at the time, thinking this was heavy song. 😆 lol
Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Another connotation of the word ‘yardbird’ is someone who hangs around goods depots to hitch a ride on a railway goods wagon. I think it was mentioned in Jack Karouac’s beat novel On The Road. I believe this was Britain’s first psychedelic recording
How lucky was I a preteen when the British Invasion Hit. My ears were blessed, that and Motown was hot.
Such great Artists during the Counterculture..
The British Invasion owned the pop radio stations all day long. The pushing of the envelope was The Rolling Stones. Their song about not getting any "satisfaction" or "girlie action" caused alarm in the parents of teenagers.
Per Wikipedia "For Your Love" is a rock song written by Graham Gouldman and recorded by English group the Yardbirds. Released in March 1965, it was their first top ten hit in both the UK and the US. The song was a departure from the group's blues roots in favour of a commercial pop rock sound. Guitarist Eric Clapton disapproved of the change and it influenced him to leave the group.
Such an influential group, besides all the great guitarists that came from this band as others have mentioned.. there was Keith Relf.. great lead singer, super harmonica player & songwriter.. and after The Yardbirds went on with his sister to form the beginnings of another prog-rock band that you haven't covered yet called Renaissance , Relf unfortunately died tragically , electrocuted while tuning his guitar in his basement. at the age of 33... but left a great legacy.. definitely worthwhile to hear more Yardbirds.. fine reaction
'Yardbirds' is a term used in Jamaica, meaning a person in prison, jails were 'Government Yards' like Jailbirds, this is also where the term Yardies comes from too. To quote Bob Marley 'Do you remember when we used to sit in that Government Yard in Trenchtown'.
Pure '60's with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Clapton! All in their early days. :) Have the Album! J- Edge of the Drum?
Guys... How about some Paul Revere & The Raiders from the mid-60's. Numerous Top 40 Hits. Have to check it out to get whole picture of the '60s. :)
"I'd give the moon if it were mine to give" is one of my favorite song lyrics. Also, thank you everyone who mentioned "Over Under Sideways Down" which is a song I like that I totally forgot about. Now I have to find and listen to it when I'm done watching this video. Also someone said that Led Zeppelin got their name from something Keith Richards jokingly said; I had read that it was Keith Moon from The Who. Maybe I'm wrong. Does someone know?
I just came back after watching the video and Amber you stopped it right in the middle of my favorite line of the song. For the future if you do that please back it up a bit. Thanks.
This MUST HEAR Classic Will Blow BOTH Your Minds,, (Question Mark) ? & The Mysterions
"96 Tears"..You Haven't Heard Anything Like This One..TRUTH!!
My earliest understanding of what a yardbird was is “an English rock band formed in the 60s.”
I lived through that invasion and it was so AWESOME!!! There is one band from Scotland I wish y'all would listen to. They weren't that big in the U.S. but they were over in England. Marmalade had a song called "Reflections of My Life" and one of my most favorite songs ever!!
25 years after the last Yardbird's album, they resurfaced with a new name Box Of Frogs that produced 2 albums.
The Yardbirds is a very important legendary Rock band because what came out of this group when they broke up was the legendary Rock bands like Led Zeppelin & Cream. Very important to Rock n' Roll history.
Being an OLD Navy veteran, we always called the workers at the shipyards "Yard Birds". Love your channel.
The list of the so-called British Invasion bands is long. I was a young teenager at this time and very into music. This music had a profound effect on me as it did for millions. I can name several off the top of my head - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five, The Zombies, The Animals, The Kinks, Chad and Jerremy, The Merseybeats, Peter and Gordon Hermans Hermits, The Hollies, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Trogs, the Searchers Them, Freddy and The Dreamers, The Yardbirds. Just to name a few.
Yea.
Paul Revere and the Raiders, also?
The Who
@@bluelionvintage8134 No I believe that they were from Portland Oregon. Mark Lindsey,the lead singer still has a rock n roll themed restaurant in Portland.
I still have The Dave Clark Five Lp that my cousins gave me when I was around 5 or 6! I think the LP was the same name as the song "Catch Me If You Can." My collection of albums is insane. Dick Dale, The Rip Chords, Jan and Dean etc... that my cousins gave me before I started collecting my own, starting with The Beatles of course.
A super group for sure! Speaking of the British Invasion it’s been a minute since you reacted to the Kinks, you would love Come Dancing. Ray and Dave Davies had six older sisters. One of the sisters Rene went to visit from Canada on Ray’s 13 th birthday where she gave him his first guitar,later she went dancing and suffered a fatal heart attack at the ballroom. Her heart was weakened from childhood rheumatic fever. The song is a tribute to all the sisters but especially for Rene. The song and video although it has a happy ending,it’s actually a bittersweet memorial
Love The Kinks, and Come Dancing is one of my favorites, too.
You guys are so cool, I love your work, and I smile when younger folks appreciate the music that I grew up with ❤
They’re named after Charlie Parker the legendary jazz saxophonist. His nickname was Yardbird.
Jay & Amber, their other hits include "Heart Full of Soul" and "Shapes Of Things" !!
edit- "For Your Love" was written by Graham Gouldman. He was also in the band 10CC, who had hits "I'm Not In Love", "The Things We Do For Love" and "Dreadlock Holiday".
"I'm Not In Love" is an analogy tape production masterpiece, that even has a RUclips video on how it was made.
"Over, Under, Sideways, Down" is another great songs. Other groups, Spencer Davis Group and the Tremelos
Dave Edmunds "I Hear You Knocking" is a great example of blues inspired British invasion songs.
I always think of savoy brown, aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation and chicken shack for blues, and of course John Mayall
In the mid to late ‘60s in San Leandro California (city next door to Oakland), we had a skating rink called Rollarena… many bands came there and played… Crosby, Still & Nash and many many more, including the Yardbirds!!! I was in my teens and went to lots of dances/concerts there!
🥰🎶❤️
Fun fact: the singer only had one working lung but he sang and played harmonica like a champ.
Hi! Another great song from 1965 you needs reacts to is (Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger). Number 51 Billboard 1965. 🙂
Have never heard that definition of Yardbirds. But am always surrounded by them. Know a few that will be called that to their face now. Thanks Jordan. Lol.
Don’t forget Donovan- a solo Brit who was a major part of the invasion. Such a cutie! Sunshine Superman, Wear Your Love Like Heaven, Mellow Yellow.
The Spencer Davis Group introduced us to 15 year old Stevie Winwood.
Love Me some Yardbirds! Page, Beck and Clapton and Great song is "Over, Under Sideways Down"
One British Invasion group that still is awaiting your first reaction is The Dave Clark Five: Their best songs: "Catch Us if You Can" "Glad All Over" "Bits and Pieces" "Can't You See That She's Mine" "Any Way You Want It" "Over and Over"
Love and listen the the Yardbids in the 60s and 70s , one of my favorite groups
Written by Graham Gouldman, who was the bass player of 10cc (he sang Dreadlock Holiday) and writer of hits like No Milk Today (The Hollies).
Pretty much anyone not named John, Paul, George, Ringo or a Rolling Stone was at one point a Yard Bird or a Blues Breaker. Both bands had a constantly changing membership; but those memberships are basically a roll-call for genius.
Another song you checked out,was a song my sister and I band played🥰
A GREAT BAND THAT REALLY ROCKED, Thanks for readting to this group. The drums you hear keeping that crazy beat are bongo drums.. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU....
One of the British invasion bands that were almost as popular as the Beatles in the early 60s was the Dave Clark 5. They always talked about the rivalry between the 2 bands in all of the teen magazines.
Some of their top songs were; Glad All Over, Catch us if you can, and Because.
I love the Yardbirds and if you get a chance listen to Over Under Sideways Down. So many great hits. The 60's rocked!!!
Eric Clapton, Keith Reif, Chris Dreja, Paul Samwell-Smith, Jim McCarty. So many insane guitarist that featured in this band. Jeff Beck took over for Eric.
The bongo's! Every kid wanted some bongo's.
Yardbirds was also a store/mall in Tacoma Washinton.
That instrument is the bongos playing and keeping the beat of the song with the tambourine giving that psychedelic sound.
Supergroup indeed and one of the most influential bands in rock. Guitar Gods and Keith Relf on unique and potent vocals coupled with ground breaking songwriting made them a genre all their own. Try Shapes of Things, - Over, Under, Sideways Down - and Train Kept a Rolling (Aerosmith made it a huge hit). Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I remember this well 💖💫💖
One of the things that some bands started doing from about the mid-to-late 60s and into the early 70s, was composing music in a more sophisticated way than the pop and rock-n-roll that came before. They started composing songs in what you might call "movements". In other words, vaguely similar to the compositions of classical music (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.). That is to say, one song will be divided up into sections in which each section might have different rhythmic structure, or maybe one section will feature a chorus of complex vocal harmonies, or a section might prominently feature an instrument that doesn't even have a part in any of the other sections. It was a compositional way of taking the listener on a journey, like a road trip where you get to have different experiences as you pass through different environments along the way. In my mind, as I think back on it now, that all kinda started with the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" album. I remember buying that album as soon as it was available in the States, played it on the record player, and I was like.... "Holy smokes! What is this???? This is far out, man!". By the way, guys, you gotta start using that exclamation ("Far ou!") when you're really diggin' a track from the late 60s into the mid-70s. LOL "Far out" and "Groovy" were the two exclamations signifying the awesomeness of.... well, of anything! LOL! Love you guys! Keep entertaining us with your groovy reactions!
I was a kid during the British invasion and it was a fun time for music. Used to ride around on my sting ray bicycle with a transistor radio waiting for the next new song or group. Used to listen to transistor radio by my pillow at night when i went to sleep. To this day i still go to sleep listening to music
A group... with pretty good guitar players !
Eric, Jimmy & Jeff.....yes those three
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Jeff Beck
3 of the greatest guitar 🎸 🎸 🎸 players !
I knew “yardbirds” to be a reference to convicts in a prison yard. But I don’t think that was the impetus for their name. They really were one of the early British bands that shaped Rock & Roll. Clapton started, then left when he thought they got too “Pop”, replaced by Jeff Beck. Then Jimmy Page joined the band. True Rock history.✌️❤️🎶
They were initially called the ‘Birds’ but had to change their name, due to some objection, by the management of the American group ‘The Byrds’.
Most agree their name is an homage to the great jazz sax player Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, aka Bird.
@@MrPercy112 I've never heard them called the Birds, although Charlie Parker was often called Bird, so maybe it was used as a nickname for the Yardbirds. They formed around the same time as the Byrds, but I'm pretty sure the Yardbirds were slightly earlier.
Love that bongo drum. Another 60's band The Incredible Bongo Band had some great music...verrry sixties!
I remember seeing the Yardbirds on TV back in the 60s. The lead singer was wearing sunglasses. My dad's friend who was there said is he some kind of nut? Lol not many musicians wore shades while performing back then. Great band my favorite then.
I was sooo lucke growing up in this time..sooo much great music..from real players..no auto tune.
Interestingly enough, Jimmy Page brought "Dazed and Confused" into the Yardbirds repertoire, but it was made popular by Led Zeppelin.
Dusty Springfield was one of the first of the British invasion to go across to the USA. Check out her hit single "I only want to be with you"
This was one of the first windows into the genius and diverse music that would explode out of the 1970's.
You're correct about the Beatles starting the whole British Invasion thing off here in the US . Many great bands followed . You've already reacted to various members of The Yardbirds (at different points in time in their career) such as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Jeff Beck was also once a member. You should check out Shapes of Things and Heart Full of Soul by the Yardbirds!
Beck & Page played with the Yardbirds at the same time.
@@chadbennett7873 yes, I'm aware of that. I was just pointing out Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page because I know they've reacted to those two (Jimmy with Zep). But I wasn't sure if they reacted to Jeff Beck.
@@magneto7930 Makes sense, I sort of thought that was the case. Just wanted to make sure they understood that two guitarists in the discussion for GOAT were playing together in the same band at the same time. You could take a poll between the three of them with people who REALLY know guitar, and it would probably be 33% for each of them.
@@chadbennett7873 I've been more of a Beck guy myself, but that's not to take away from the endless great moments on record by the other two.
@@magneto7930 Don't blame you. Beck is frequently mentioned as the absolute best by other guitarists who are on the list as well. An absolute delight to hear play.
The picture on the screen when you paused the first time was Eric Clapton.
"For Your Love" is a rock song written by Graham Gouldman and recorded by English group the Yardbirds. Released in March 1965, it was their first top ten hit in both the UK and the US. The song was a departure from the group's blues roots in favour of a commercial pop rock sound. Guitarist Eric Clapton disapproved of the change and it influenced him to leave the group.
The first #1 hit from a British group was in 1962. The group was The Tornados and the song was named Telstar.
This is a group my older brother listened too.. Whereas we did not move to America until 1969. But my brother heard them in Germany in the very early 60s
