The Jeff Beck Group - Rice Pudding - 1969 Line Up: Jeff Beck -- guitar Rod Stewart -- vocals Nicky Hopkins -- piano and organ Ronnie Wood -- bass Tony Newman -- drums
Thanks for posting this. I’ve always loved “Rice Pudding”. During my freshman year (‘69, the year the album came out) in college (Rose Poly -now Rose-Hulman- in Terre Haute) I had a weekly Wednesday night show on the campus carrier-wave radio station. This was the show’s closing song (it was pretty effective given the abrupt ending on the album). (If anyone cares, the opening theme was the Byrds’ “Captain Soul”.) P.S. As I’m typing this I just realized that “Rice Pudding” and “Rose Poly” had the same initials…
Second that! For me 2nd and 3rd are Zappa and Page. Zappa not as technically pristine and Page did not remain as relevant as Beck still pushing boundaries
@@mechcavandy986 oh Hell Yeah. Nobody compares to Zappa as composer, arranger, performer - and his entire catalogue - but I meant purely as a guitarist - in my opinion! Beck is the guitarists guitarist. I happen to enjoy Zappa’s solos and riffs every but as much. Beck is slightly more “polished” and kept pushing hilmself to improve while Frank might only pick up his guitar on tour - (which in a sense makes him even more “natural”)
Studio version of Rice Pudding with footage from a Fillmore East show. Mick Waller is on drums here, not Tony Newman. Waller wore glasses, Newman did not during this time, though he may have later on.
I was looking for Mick Waller and wondered what happened... Thanks for clearing up the snafu. I learned the name Mick Waller after attending Beck's debut USA tour in 68 hearing him at the Fillmore East. The entire band floored me...
Both Beck and Stewart have said in recent BBC programmes that neither of them regretted the decision - which considering what happened to the majority of performer was, perhaps, the right decision. Neither suffered career damage as a result.
It would be nice if you at least got the line-up right - and the year - for this concert footage that you plastered a not-yet-recorded studio tune over - that's Micky Waller on drums, and he was fired (unfortunately) from the band before "Beck-Ola" was recorded ....
There's nothing wrong with dubbing the album version over live footage but it should be mentioned in the description the same as a TV commercial puts "actor portrayal" at the bottom of the screen.
@@tomthalon8956 Do you find my request unreasonable dickless? In what way? Please tell me how a simple disclaimer informing the viewers that it's a studio rather than live audio is beyond pale. You should be good at "simple".
@@frankfrank7921 I find a lot of things here, Frankels. I find your comment lacking any "request." I find your opinion just making excuses for a lame bootleg, shitty quality video with no audio. I find you in general, pretty stupid.
That's not Tony Newman on drums and they're not playing Rice Pudding in the video (that song had not even been recorded at the time this film was shot). Beck used a Stratocaster on Rice Pudding with a lot of tremelo arm- here, he's playing a Les Paul. That's Micky Waller on drums in the film. Waller was fired earlier in 1969, and Newman replaced him, hence this is an older clip of the Jeff Beck Group at the Fillmore East likely before their last tour with Newman. Still interesting to see a video of the band at the Fillmore East.
Loved Mickey Waller. Eccentric individual, and eccentric drumming. He really shined on those early Rod Stewart solo albums. It was my all-time favorite rhythm section -- Waller on drums and Ron Wood on bass.
Aren't there any absolutely live performance videos of this group? I've seen several live videos of the second "Rough & Ready" Group -- and many of Jeff's various bands over the years -- but none of this original band.
J W I have some.. Just a matter of getting a good transfer from Video tape to a digital upload. If anyone has a good tip of the best current method.. let me know !
Is that his gold +flower top LP (the Gibson) after Gibson rebuilt the car crashed body they replaced the kneck with JB initials by the cutaway 14th fret? What yr LP?
Might well be; That light show was ubiquitous at the time. I watched most of my Fillmore East shows from the little balcony booth over the door that went from the FOH to the backstage. Fun times.
I wish I could remember who I was standing with when it came on one night (during a Grateful Dead show, probably the Dead At Midnight series in summer 1970) and I mentioned how much I disliked the light show. And whoever it was responded with "Yeah, it likes like psycho sperm." I nearly laughed up a tonsil. Perfect.
This isn't the Grande Ballroom in Detroit Richard Rybinski. The Grande light show was called Trans-Love Energies, and was totally lame compared to the Joshua White Light Show at the Fillmore East. There was NO Theatre Hall that could hold a candle to this Powerful Light Mecca!!! This is definitely the Jeff Beck Group at the Fillmore East, which housed the JWLS.
It's no wonder he never achieved the success of many of his contemporaries. Very bland and repetitive background music that only rises during the limited amount of time when Jeff is actually jamming. Very disappointing for 7 minutes live of one of the better songs on the JBG's second album.
Pardon that is Micky Waller on drums
Magnificent FABULOUSLY ABOVE !! Loved Ronnie's BASS PLAYING &TONE
tone = preamp on ten!
Rest In Peace, Jeff. You were one of the best of all time. Heaven just gained a monster guitar player.
Spot on 👍 👍
Couldn't have said it better
Sweet..........Emotion........
This obviously is off the studio album. NOT a live performance...
The great session keyboard player Nicky Hopkins playing piano. He passed on not long afterwards.
Twenty-five years later, in 1994. But still too soon -- he was only fifty.

You trippin'?
Really good piece from a great album
Jeff Beck best guitarist that ever lived
old saying was wow wonder if hendrix lived? well u dont have too beck still lives!
and Hopkins the best piano player

@@jammygitt I’d put Zappa over Beck. Jeff didn’t write symphonies.

imacmadman22 Yes, it's Obvious by listening, (( he's playing a strat )) It's actually [ to me ] much more interesting to hear him squeeze a Les Paul !

@@genez429 Its Mickey Waller in the video
It would be hard to mistake Mick Waller for Tony Newman.
I saw them at the Fillmore East - great show, I'm getting acid flashbacks! Lovin' this!
50 years later, still amazing, even minus the Acid
One of my absolute faves of the Jeff Beck Group !
frankster . yes also one of my alltime fave songs from Jeff Beck group. Each musician playing astonishing music.
looking for the video used to have it?
It’s really great to see this footage from the Fillmore.
This lineup should have been at Woodstock.....sadly broke up & didn't make it there... One of J Beck's biggest regrets!
I heard he was the only one to miss 2 woodstocks, the original and a later one
Both Beck and Stewart have said in recent BBC programmes that neither of them regretted the decision - which considering what happened to the majority of performer was, perhaps, the right decision. Neither suffered career damage as a result.
Jeff Beck on guitar, Rod Stewart, vocals, Ron Wood, bass and the great Mickey Waller, drums. Keyboardist is probably Nickie Hopkins.

Good time Jeff great
Does no one care that this ISN'T LIVE??!
No, it's just fun to relive this somehow.
Ronnie on bas
Like zeppelin

Jimi Hendrix brought me here
Nice Nicky Hopkins piece here
RIP Nicky best rock piano player ever
the video of them playing has nothing to do with the music that is heard.
Not a live recording. Beck-Ola album.

I also thought that was Mickey Waller. Thanks.

I knew I heard some trem arm early on. Beck is playing a Strat on the audio track and a Les Paul in the video.
These guys were kids.
NICKY!
Indeedy!
We saw these guys from behind the stage in 1968! The greatest rock and roll thrill of my life!
Micky Hopkins' 'Girl from Mill Valley's is on this album.Go check it out.Lovely song ,beautifully played.
RIP Nicky Hopkins
From back in the day before Jeff switched to a Stratocaster.
Yeassss!!!!!!!!!!!
I respect the frequency band with assignment of the radio station that is in the head of Mister Jeff
I always thought that the piano in the middle break in the song sounded like Charlie Brown music. lol
This isn’t live…
Shame it's just the film without the actual soundtrack , hard to sync with the studio recording - Great rare film .
Aren't there any absolutely live performance videos of this group? I've seen several live videos of the
second "Rough & Ready" Group -- and many of Jeff's various bands over the years -- but none of this original band.

@@soundpainter2590 Well, I know a guy who knows a guy............... I'll ask around. So do you have VHS, Super 8, what?
only audio ..........
I've not yet seen a live film recording of the original JB Group, and I've searched a lot. I saw the original lineup in 1968 Alexandria Roller Rink.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
YES SIR!!!
Imagine if there was some footage like this of Peter greens FwM live in USA in 69 or 70
Is that his gold +flower top LP (the Gibson) after Gibson rebuilt the car crashed body they replaced the kneck with JB initials by the cutaway 14th fret? What yr LP?
Tony Newman from May Blitz...????
On the track he's playing a Strat.
Live visual. Album audio. Ho, hum.
Jimi Hendrix either "paid homage" to Mr Beck, or Jimi simply stole the riff from him for "In From The Storm".
Homage
Only in your virtual reality...
Album Beck ola
Tony Newman from Sounds Incorporated!
Mickie Waller, sorry.
Awright, what are they REALLY playing in the video part of this?
On the video? It sure ain't "Rice Pudding," that's for sure. I think you caught that too.
+Stacey Means Jeff plays a Strat on Rice Pudding, not the LP pictured here, this video is the band live at an earlier time.
I agree it just goes to show there isn't much from this time from this band. but damn what a band
definitely not Rice Pudding LOL
I thought I recognised the Fillmore headache-inducing light show. But this is the album track, yes?
I believe this to be the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. I don"'t believe it is the Fillmore East. Doesn't look like it at all.
Might well be; That light show was ubiquitous at the time. I watched most of my Fillmore East shows from the little balcony booth over the door that went from the FOH to the backstage. Fun times.
I particuarly remember the Joshua Light show....
I wish I could remember who I was standing with when it came on one night (during a Grateful Dead show, probably the Dead At Midnight series in summer 1970) and I mentioned how much I disliked the light show. And whoever it was responded with "Yeah, it likes like psycho sperm."

Too bad the sync is off......

Jimi either "paid homage" to Mr Beck, or Jimi simply stole the riff from him.
@@deemika simply stole I guess
Jeff Sturges and Universe covered this.

And some think “Walk This Way” was an original. 😂😂😂
Areosmith riff.
Could be Aynsley Dunbar on the track!
No.
@@brucemcdonald1114 Tony Newman!
not in sync
filmed on a potato
Funny seeing Beck with a REAL guitar in his hands ... as he Idenifies with those grade-B axes anymore
you can actually see it? lol - awful video
Funny how Jeff Beck dumped the LP for a real guitar with a variety of sounds and abilities.
@@tomthalon8956 🤡👉🦜
@@lazyrrr2411 Aw, he dumped the LP. Are you sad, little guy?🤣
@@lazyrrr2411 I've owned both a Tele and an LP. Go play your Sweet Child O'Mine, little guy. LMFAO

Sadly only the visuals are live. Audio is straight off the album
