I was 17 years old I saw this show live at the Santa Monica Civic they kept the house lights on during the whole show because they were filming for in concert with a live. Simulcast can't believe it was 50 years ago met Carmine at a drum clinic in North Hollywood California he was super cool I told him that I saw this concert and he autographed drumstick for me awesome drummer
I have memories like that, but with different people... how so freakin' awesome for you... and I bet for Apice, as well.... Nothing gets a "celebrity' normal again like a co-fan vibe with someone like us. A big thanks.
Nice work on the merging. I also saw them in Boston. Absolutely could not believe what I was hearing. They never got the credit they deserved and didn't stay together long enough to keep building. Too bad indeed.
mike pinera of iron butterfly was using the voice box (on "butterfly bleu") in 1971, two years before jeff beck. here he is with iron butterfly on german tv in 1971: ruclips.net/video/TQw-Kv4XZZ4/видео.html
He's said he first heard Stevie Wonder using it. As a kid in the 60s, well before getting into Beck, I used to look forward to seeing this old guy on King Family specials who used something similar, perhaps by someone offstage, to converse with his pedal steel guitar.
Frampton killed the contraption. As Wayne Campbell put it "If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide” referring to the ubiquitous copies of "Frampton Comes Alive" in the mid-to-late 1970s. I saw Mike Pinera use "the bag" in early 1973 with a version of the late, great hard-rock band "Cactus," one that included none of the original members. The crowd in the gym at the Univ. of Florida went wild, and we all looked at each other as if to say, "What the fuck is THAT?!" In the end, its concept is limited and kind of silly. As an owner of this relic, what do you think?
I was very privilege to see these three tear up a stage in Honolulu Hawaii, and it was just freaking amazing they lived up to everyone of my expectations,I've seen many 3-piece bands in my life but none were better than these three guys together. I know Jeff is up there right now playing with Jimmy and Janice and they're having a great time. Thanks for the memories.🤟😎.
I was digging BBA when I was in high school in the 70s. They were incredible musicians (Carmine still is, of course). I had an 8 track tape back then, got a CD, now have them on a music account. Nice to still listen to some good blues and rock.
I love this old "video tape" footage. It's distorted in the best way possible and when things get too loud it causes the video signal (@ 0:49-0:51) to momentarily drop out. Like the band is playing so loud and with so intensity that they warp the visual field itself! Mmmmwah!
This is so cool. I know Beck and some of his music, but I had only heard about this band because my husband had seen them once. He was born in Brooklyn 1956. When I hear his stories of who he saw and when and where, I'm always both fascinated and sometimes jealous of his experiences. Seeing Beck in this band is one. I tell him he was born in the right place at the right time!
71 also. Saw Jimi and Vanilla Fudge live in '68 and yeah, like it was yesterday. That was my 2nd rock concert ever. 1st was Cream and the Grateful Dead. Damn I was lucky to see all that at 17.
Now if only we had video like this of Cactus, featuring Rusty Day, out and available, rather than just two seconds-long clips of them onstage. Another fantastic early-70’s hard rock pioneer band. Same bass player and drummer, too!
A lot of people thought that guitar was black. It wasn't. It was Oxblood, refinished by Strings and Things out of Nashville. The original owner had it done and never paid, so Jeff got it. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Mind-boggling how great this short-lived power trio was. Tim Bogert was a monster muff-hogging big bass masterblaster! That fat tone! Anybody know what else he did musicwise?!
Thank you so much! This is the fifth time I've seen footage from a concert I attended at The Civic and it just stones me to my soul. (thank you Van) Now, I'll go count the rings on my tail. WOOF!
Thanx for this takes me way back. When I made my move to London from Istanbul, Feb 1973, I was 20 years old and BBA was the first Live Show I saw in the west, blew me away, very nice venue it was, perfect sound, super band, Edmonton Sundown, Cheers mate
Bogert looks so effortlessly in the groove, i love it. and the high notes at 2'37, amazing. not sure I've seen this concert/version before, thx for sharing!
Love how raw this footage is, all black & white and obviously recorded on the big tape cassettes (the format used for commercial/newscast archival prior to VHS). Was obviously a real event at the time, w/ everyone digging it in the crowd. So early 70s free-spirited it makes your heart hurt to know that time is over for good. Makes this capture all the more valuable. THank you for posting.
Saw them play Birmingham Town Hall (UK) on this tour. One of the best concerts I have ever seen, and I’ve seen many. Outstrips original Cream farewell, and all Hendrix bar Woburn in 1968. And JB is still inventing new ways to play. Magic.
The version of this on the studio album is probably the heaviest thing I have ever heard; this is relatively lightweight by comparison. Great to hear it here. (Btw, I play a version of this on three-string cigar box guitars, and one day it may appear on YT. Take cover now…)
What a dynamite trio! The earlier Cream had achieved great success in a relatively brief career. B, B & A are clearly cut from the same bolt of hard rock jam band cloth. So why didn't they leave a similar mark? Were they too similar in sound? Did the great wave of heavy jam pass? No, that's not it. It's mysterious to me because I still dig their groovy dial-it-up-to-10 approach.
It's hard to say. Superstition got airplay on FM radio in the US. West Bruce & Laing were similar, and they didn't hit it big, either, although I think Why Dontcha got some airplay.
I actually saw them on this tour. There was a lot more of those Univox cabinets, and all blue, instead of the usual black tolex. He was masterful, as always.
Great geezers in the 70s when I was learning guitar I knew this bass player who was in a band I used to go watch his band in his basement he had the full univox stack blue cabinets just like what Jeff is using and his guitarist played a 1968 Telecaster straight into that amp stack and I have to tell you that is some of the most beautiful tones I ever heard in my life I remember the tube head having these teardrop type controls on the front panel. On the rear panel I remember it saying 104 Watts. Since then I have only seen two on eBay for sale. The company univox was Japan famous for the tape Echo unit that Eddie Van Halen used for eruption. I used to own two of those tape Echo units what I wouldn't give to have one now.
Great to see this footage. It sounds like it was great. If only someone would mix the audio properly to do them justice: raise the vocals, lower the guitar, raise the drums a bit, remove the hard left & right panning. Presuming though it's a stereo mix and there's no way to fix the mix.
Love the tone Jeff Beck is getting -- looks like Univox amplifiers? The speaker boxes look like Univox, at least. A guy named Eric on another BB&A live vid told me they're Univox amps, too. They sound great. Heck -- Jeff sounds great. And these guys were so intricate in their playing. A gem from In Concert..
@@greatgeezer I now think the amps are Sunn solid state amps, through Univox boxes. Another guy on the other vid from this show said that the amps looked like Sunns. I did some research, and the amps do look like Sunns, but the boxes look like Univox. I remember seeing a big Univox amp for sale once, had boxes that looked just like that. Either way, I love Beck's tone here.
It's pronounced - "App-peachy". Its an Italian name, with the emphasis on peachy. Apparently, most of America didn't make it past 8th grade, and mispronounce it as "A-Piece". Lol
It was, I believe, Jeff’s own invention, and for many years it was known as ‘Beck’s Bag’ (there’s a doctor’s-type bag which contained all the gubbins).
Sounds great! Very good stereo separation. From a mono recording it is even cooler that you was able to keep the guitar on the right and the bass on the left. Good job.
I was 17 years old I saw this show live at the Santa Monica Civic they kept the house lights on during the whole show because they were filming for in concert with a live. Simulcast can't believe it was 50 years ago met Carmine at a drum clinic in North Hollywood California he was super cool I told him that I saw this concert and he autographed drumstick for me awesome drummer
I have memories like that, but with different people... how so freakin' awesome for you... and I bet for Apice, as well.... Nothing gets a "celebrity' normal again like a co-fan vibe with someone like us. A big thanks.
Great story
Nice work on the merging. I also saw them in Boston. Absolutely could not believe what I was hearing. They never got the credit they deserved and didn't stay together long enough to keep building. Too bad indeed.
Ah...the days before click tracks and backing tracks. Just turn on, turn up, and go for it. The 70s were simply the best time to be a teenager.
Losing Beck was huge. He is one of the old God's. What an amazing player right to the end. Incredible.
I'm still devastated.
I always hoped Jeff would play the talk box again but never happened as far as i know.
I saw them live in Boston. Tim and Carmine were the heart and soul of Vanilla Fudge who I also saw live in Boston. RIP MAESTRO Jeff Beck.
Saw Vanilla Fudge in Nov '68 with Jimi as the headliner. Unforgettable show.
I envy u very much!!!🥲 I miss tim bogert
At the Tea Party by any chance? 🎸
I saw Vanilla Fudge in NJ under a tent circa 1970. Bogert surely was a fine Rock bassist.
Not only Vanilla Fudge. But were both in the band Cactus.
Jeff Beck using "the bag", or "the voice box" years before it was popularized by Peter Frampton on his "Frampton Comes Alive" album.
mike pinera of iron butterfly was using the voice box (on "butterfly bleu") in 1971, two years before jeff beck.
here he is with iron butterfly on german tv in 1971: ruclips.net/video/TQw-Kv4XZZ4/видео.html

Joe Walsh used it around same time on rocky mountain way
I have one , but nobody cares
Frampton killed the contraption. As Wayne Campbell put it "If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it.

Tim Borgert is GOD here. That thundering bass commands attention.
This f@cking guitar+this f@cking bass+this f@cking drums =special moment in rock history 👏
What's amazing here, is that although Beck is playing, the other two guys steel the show, the drums and bass are incredible.
And credit for Tim's vocals as well!
I was very privilege to see these three tear up a stage in Honolulu Hawaii, and it was just freaking amazing they lived up to everyone of my expectations,I've seen many 3-piece bands in my life but none were better than these three guys together. I know Jeff is up there right now playing with Jimmy and Janice and they're having a great time. Thanks for the memories.🤟😎.
The first real Rock concert I attended was a Vanilla Fudge show and Tim Bogert floored me with his playing.
Tim Bogart's bass Slays it on This track!
I'm sure you meant Bogert.
Set me free
Saw them 4/2/73 - Columbus Ohio, Veteran's Memorial Auditorium. HEAVY band!! Fabulous show
I was there
Oh, this footage is priceless!!! Thanks for finding it and posting it....Beck, Bogert, & Appice were HEAVY....all great musicians!!
There is still REAL Music around. Ain't Got No Money by Bob Seger Detroit
Nice!
I was digging BBA when I was in high school in the 70s. They were incredible musicians (Carmine still is, of course). I had an 8 track tape back then, got a CD, now have them on a music account. Nice to still listen to some good blues and rock.

50 years and still kicks ass

I tell him he was born in the right place at the right time!
I saw this tour stop in Charlotte, NC
I saw BB&A in Toronto Canada at the Maple Leaf Gardens back in the day. I'm 71 now and remember it like it was yesterday.
71 also. Saw Jimi and Vanilla Fudge live in '68 and yeah, like it was yesterday. That was my 2nd rock concert ever. 1st was Cream and the Grateful Dead. Damn I was lucky to see all that at 17.
ジェフ・ベックの魂に安らぎあれ🙏😭😭😭😭
I wish there was a pristine copy of this somewhere.........a fantastic representation of the greatest era in rock.
Great! Great! Great! Thanks for posting this Brent…
RIP, Jeff Beck. Gone too soon. You will be sorely missed.
One thing about Jeff Beck. I often will hear a song he plays on and think, I don't like that song but gosh dangdit Jeff Beck is great.
Now if only we had video like this of Cactus, featuring Rusty Day, out and available, rather than just two seconds-long clips of them onstage. Another fantastic early-70’s hard rock pioneer band. Same bass player and drummer, too!
Jeff Beck is God... RIP ... thanks so much for this awesome clip
A lot of people thought that guitar was black. It wasn't. It was Oxblood, refinished by Strings and Things out of Nashville. The original owner had it done and never paid, so Jeff got it. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Saw them in San Diego on that tour . Wet Willie and Freddie King made for a fantastic concert .
Playing on a gibson giter is rare.
I pray that your soul may rest in pesce.
Beck is forever.
Beck played a Les Paul when I saw him during his initial ‘Blow by Blow’ tour.
RIP Jeff ... you sure helped shaped my music preference. I remember Beck, Bogart and Appice ...sadly never saw any of them live. RIP.
BBA was my first Jeff Beck album, back then he was still using a pick.
In Concert tv taping. Tickets were free. I was there Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
Mind-boggling how great this short-lived power trio was. Tim Bogert was a monster muff-hogging big bass masterblaster! That fat tone! Anybody know what else he did musicwise?!
Besides the Young Rascals and Cactus?
Check out Vanilla Fudge
Boxer in 1975 and 1976
He taught @; MI musicians institute Hollywood late '80s '90s.
My buddy studied under him for a year monster vocalist and bass player complete 🌟
I saw them at Hampton roads coliseum 70 I think, couldn't believe how good they were. I was stationed Norfolk 🎃
Thank you so much! This is the fifth time I've seen footage from a concert I attended at The Civic and it just stones me to my soul. (thank you Van) Now, I'll go count the rings on my tail. WOOF!
Carmine coming heavy as a Tsunami.
Back in 1980 I bought their album just because Jeff Beck was in the band.
Jeff is definitely one of the Kings....thanks for posting this video
Yeah, I think Beck and Blackmore are the two best guitarists of their time no disrespect to Jimmy Page but those two dudes are on a mother level
All balls still after all these years! I recall watching this when it 1st was shown on TV -- what an inspiration for a teen rocker!
That's what I call "heavy 70's." Great stuff.
Sounds massive for the time
For ANY time
Thanks! Brilliant playing, historical footage.
Thanx for this takes me way back. When I made my move to London from Istanbul, Feb 1973, I was 20 years old and BBA was the first Live Show I saw in the west, blew me away, very nice venue it was, perfect sound, super band, Edmonton Sundown, Cheers mate

Oh! I am knocked out perfectly.
I had the album. Big fan of a lot of all these guys different bands like Vanilla Fudge , Cactus , etc,etc. Heavy rockers for sure.
Love how raw this footage is, all black & white and obviously recorded on the big tape cassettes (the format used for commercial/newscast archival prior to VHS).

Insanely Awesome!
Killer track from a great Rock album.
Black Cat Moan.

Wow, incredible.
had this lp back in the day, excellent!!!
What a great trio. Too bad they only released one studio album. Would loved to have some more music from them.
Bought the album when it came out, my son has it now. I remember something about a dispute between Jeff and Stevie Wonder on who wrote this song.
Just heard a story that Jeff started it by playing the drum part! And Stevie took it from there.
What a voice!
damn if these guys didn't kick some serious butt.
The version of this on the studio album is probably the heaviest thing I have ever heard; this is relatively lightweight by comparison. Great to hear it here.
(Btw, I play a version of this on three-string cigar box guitars, and one day it may appear on YT. Take cover now…)
This is a very cool way to start a song, and I don't know many others which are as cool as this...
Excellent post. Thanks a million!
What a dynamite trio! The earlier Cream had achieved great success in a relatively brief career. B, B & A are clearly cut from the same bolt of hard rock jam band cloth.

Because they had Jeff Beck. Even Clapton was cooler.
Maybe cuz the vocals mix was too low? Blame the sound man.
Lack of writing that would have kept them fresh... lots of different covers lost it's appeal without an infusion of their own music.
@@rejuvenation.records Yeah, Beck was very temperamental. Perhaps he chilled a little as he aged.
It does'nt get any better.
Rock In Peace Jeff, you will be missed...
I actually saw them on this tour. There was a lot more of those Univox cabinets, and all blue, instead of the usual black tolex. He was masterful, as always.
@greatgeezer I did as well, at a swamp in Florida with Dr. John,
Great geezers in the 70s when I was learning guitar I knew this bass player who was in a band I used to go watch his band in his basement he had the full univox stack blue cabinets just like what Jeff is using and his guitarist played a 1968 Telecaster straight into that amp stack and I have to tell you that is some of the most beautiful tones I ever heard in my life I remember the tube head having these teardrop type controls on the front panel.

Os caras são ícones/mestres!!! Viva, Beck, Bogert e Appice!!!
R.I.P master Jeff Beck
Lordy..... Love Beck's tone.

Buena recopilacion Vhs..espectacular Trio Power...regards from Chile Rock
I saw them at The Singer Bowl NYC .
A true power trio, they were just awesome.
Amazing and astonishing!!1 Thank you!!!

Jeff Beck playing a Les Paul standard. Great Band.
Hey Billy I hear it!!!
saw them live in Glasgow
when? lat long ago?
superb
I don't think I've ever heard any two people pronounce Appice the same way.
It's pronounced - "App-peachy". Its an Italian name, with the emphasis on peachy. Apparently, most of America didn't make it past 8th grade, and mispronounce it as "A-Piece". Lol
I’m from Queens NY and hear it pronounced wrong all the time by these zumbatsas.
Thank you for sharing this!
The FIRST and best Supergroup ever!!! Jeff is incredible!!!!
First? Ever heard of a band called Cream?
Or Blind Faith?
MeinKochen Humble Pie? Cream? Blind Faith?
Cactus?
What about Cactus, which featured two out of three members of this band BEFORE this band?
I gotta feeling it was loud! RIP
Appicce is the man 70s🥁...
So this is where Frampton got it from ! Bogart is killin it ! WOW !!!!
I'm sure you meant Bogert. Probably gotten that his whole life. Even the announcer on the tape gets it wrong!
I was thinking the same thing. Peter Frampton stole this from Jeff Beck! Jeff Rocks!
The whole shebang is all Beck ola tricks...ask Frampton
It was, I believe, Jeff’s own invention, and for many years it was known as ‘Beck’s Bag’ (there’s a doctor’s-type bag which contained all the gubbins).
Awesome! (Jeff's middle name)💥
RIP Jeff Beck 😢
Grandiisimo como siempre,inigualable
Awesome!
The coolest that rock music can get.
This was the real Jeff beck. Powerful!
Not many musicians use a talkng modulator these days. They just have no idea how cool it would make their music.
Mit 78 Jahren von uns gegangen, ruhe in Frieden
凄まじい～演奏！！
Appice really powerful here 💪🏻Does he make the Top-Ten Rock Drummer list? Most everybody would have Bonham, Moon, and Peart. Who else?
1/14/23 RIP
最強のリズム隊♪♪
好きだわぁ〜
I do believe I saw this concert in Pittsburgh
R.I.P. Jeff Beck
Love ya Timbo RIP
Jeff Beck should have had his enduring, supergroup
Check out Bogert's high note!
That's how it's done.
Sounds great! Very good stereo separation. From a mono recording it is even cooler that you was able to keep the guitar on the right and the bass on the left. Good job.
This is not a mono source that has been "treated" in anyway, this is the original FM stereo simulcast recording of this gig.
"Want a whole lotta love... "
