What a grand night of rock. I was with Jimmy Carl Black and watched Jeff introduce Rod Stewart for the first time. I'll hold the stories from the Howard Johnson Motel on Route 1 (post event) until later. Thanks for the recording. I wish the recording caught "Morning Dew".
@@donnareed8921 1969, by Woodstock Jeff broke the band up. They were asked to play there, but Jeff didn't want the band documented on film at such a big event. Didn't like how Rod and Woody were acting like school girls a lot of the time.
Jeff Beck Group in its death throes. Skipped their Woodstock show, Nicky Hopkins had left, & back to a four piece. But still sounding sharp esp. Ronnie Wood’s powerful bass, how good is he?
The announcer at the beginning is George Wein, founder of the Newport Jazz Festival. He says this is at Newport (not Maryland) and indeed Jeff Beck and the other bands he speaks of did play at Newport 1969 on July 4 and 5. I was one of the mob on the other side of the fence he referred to! hmmm that was almost 50 years ago. Maybe the audio was spliced together from 2 festivals.
He was good before any of "them", was Jeff Beck. He was brilliant in the Yardbirds; very inventive and lyrical. Watch and listen to the early yardbirds RUclips. He stepped up when he formed the Jeff Beck Group. Clapton did not influence him. He was already creating his own sound and music, and rejuvenated the Yardbirds when he joined. He was already inventive. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
Still regret missing the JBG when they played the Rockpile in Toronto the year before. I hadn't heard of Rod yet but one of the chicks in our group who'd gone to see them said "that singer got my panties wet".
I'm guessing this recording is right off the board with some bleed from vocal mics as this was outside near Laurel Race Track which is why the balance seems odd and it lacks the ambience and natural reverb/delay from indoor shows. It was really good live and it's great somebody recorded it. Thanks for the up. #Edit - hmmm... maybe not. At shortly after 19:00 that girls voice is really loud so possibly an audience recording but on what?
@@BenPrevo - Maybe but it isn't like there were many portable cassette recorders in 1969. Eight Track dominated until the mid 70s and really didn't all but disappear until like 1981 or 2. There were some portable reel-to-reel recorders but "portable" is stretching it a bit especially since most venues, even outdoors ones, disallowed them requiring substantial subterfuge or maybe I just wasn't into bootlegging enough until well into the 80s.
@@BenPrevo - Yes I know. As I understand it that deck is responsible for The Byrd's "Eight Miles High" signature lick since McGuinn bought one for the road but all they had was 2 tapes, one of which was Coltrane, and IIRC Ravi Shankar for the raga feel. However, they really weren't very common until the 70s in most areas. Nevertheless, you are likely right that a show this big probably had somebody with a Phillips or similar deck..
Ha! Ha! Ha! You're kidding! Ron couldn't have taught Beck anything! Not ever! He was a great bass player in this band though. His counterpoint to the rhythm on the Rock Me Baby on Truth is perfect! Talk about 'how to ride a beat'!!
I had the chance to be there that night!! Still incredible.
Every time I hear Ron Wood on bass I get the chills. He (And the whole band of course) were in my top 5 since, well forever.
He was brilliant !!
RIP Jeff.
Thanks for posting this! I was there for this show when I was 16. He is my Idol.
Ron Wood was great on bass , really pushing it. Later ,he became excellent jack of all trades , guitar for the stones. He is great fill guy.
His guitar work with the Rod Stewart Group / Faces, of course, was extraordinary...
Fantastic Stuff ♥️🎶🥀
Thank you for The Music
Back then that old 59 Les Paul standard was no big deal *
60 years later ,six figure $$$$$. Amazing thanks for vid, luv this line up !

Are you talking about the Indian Of The Group?
@@MarttiSuomivuori I sure am. What a nice guy. We stayed in touch via postcards (whoa...so out of date now) until his health took him from us.
Frank Zappa said, "Jeff Beck is one of my favorite guitarists on the planet."
Mine, too. "Fluid" is the word.
"Tone" is the other word
Jeff Beck Y Rod Stewart "GENIALES años 60"
I was there for that. What a show. Zappa was amazing too. A shame I missed the first day.
Hey Brother what year was that concert

Ronnie Wood is more than good enough. He rocks! This was half a century ago!
@@MarttiSuomivuori I’ll say this quietly cos I adore Ronnie, but I think he’s at his best playing bass.

That riff on the second song....... good Lawd.... HAVE MERCAAAAY!!!
Jeff just so precise and aggressively playing . Brilliant. You can hear how he progressed. Clapton influenced, but Jeff got real bloody good by BBA.

R.I.P master Jeff Beck
What a festival..

cassette or reel to reel - consumer grade.

Estava muito a frente dos outros guitarristas. Influienciou os outros. O metal deve tudo a Jeff.
Vaya cartel!!!!!!!!
I would have fired Ronnie Wood on the spot.
Are there any REAL bass players out there?
Bruce. “Are there any REAL bass players out there?” Meaning what? 54 years ago?? 😅
He was chet atkins , except rock.
jeff still had to find his way back in 69...amazing how much he learnt between 70 and 75....because here, Ron could have taught him the blues
Ha! Ha! Ha! You're kidding! Ron couldn't have taught Beck anything! Not ever! He was a great bass player in this band though. His counterpoint to the rhythm on the Rock Me Baby on Truth is perfect! Talk about 'how to ride a beat'!!
Ron Wood teaching one of the greatest guitaris we have known? Ridiculous!!!
