Yes, finally some Yardbirds! This clip is from Blow Up, a pretentious art film about a photographer living in London during the swinging 1960's. The director originally intended to use the band The Who for this scene, but some underhanded social engineering by the manager of the Yardbirds got them the gig instead. The song "Stroll On" played here is a reworked version of "Train Kept A Rollin'" with new lyrics. (Evidently there was some sort of copyright issue that prevented the band from simply performing the song as they had originally recorded it in studio a couple years earlier.) You should definitely check out "Train Kept A Rollin'" by them. It is a banger featuring Jeff Beck (Page had not joined yet), and much better than "Stroll On." Another Yardbirds song you should hear is the band's final 1960's recording, entitled "Think about It," with a blistering Jimmy Page guitar solo that foreshadowed what was to come a year later when Led Zeppelin took flight.
My understanding is that the director of this film actually wanted The Who for this part. He settled for The Yardbirds, but couldn't get the idea of a guitar being smashed out of his head, as he had seen Pete Townshend do it. Beck didn't want to do this, one, because that was Pete's trademark, and two, he liked the guitar he had brought with him. He was finally convinced to do the scene when he was given a cheaper substitute guitar that wasn't his...Band mates and friends said that though it wasn't part of his act, Beck had been known to abuse equipment when it malfunctioned, kind of like you see here. It is said that during one gig, he got pissed at an amplifier, and threw it out of an open window near the stage during the middle of a song...Heh...
The scene you are watching is from the film 'Blowup', not blow out. A classic 60s film about a fashion photographer who thinks he may have caught a murder while shooting photos in a park. It has been a while since I watched it, but it was one of my favorites growing up. A film that really makes you think.
The song is called 'Stroll 0n'. The Yardbirds were part of the London scene in mid 60s. Beck smashed his guitar. The singer was Keith Relf. A better example of them is 'Shapes of Things' more of a psychedelic rock than this. Eric Clapton too was a Yardbird earlier on, then Beck then Page. When the band broke up Page was left with the band name and contracted concerts to fulfil, which he did as the New Yardbirds which soon after became Led Zeppelin. Other songs of note are, 'For Your Love', 'Over Under Sideways Down', 'Evil Hearted You', 'Heart Full of Soul' and 'I'm A Man' which is a totally different song to the Chicago 'I'm A Man' song. Keep exploring Silas - going well.👌 The movie was 'Blow Out' the actor David Hemmings.
Pretty much all of the greatest guitarists that I have seen interviewed speak about Beck as if he was some kind of wizard or magician. That is the greatest testament to his talent that I can think of. I highly recommend you react to the video he put out with Johnny Depp not too long ago with Beck's take on Lennon's old song "Isolation." ✌💯
The movie “Blow Up” came out in late 1966 in Europe, and in early 1967 in the US. This scene with the Yardbirds was filmed in October 12, 1966 at Elstree film studios in London. The audience was told by the director to act the way that they did, in reality whenever the Yardbirds played the audiences were usually wild or dancing. There also would’ve been a lot of cigarette and pot smoke in the air, it was common for people to openly smoke pot and take LSD at concerts back then. This performance is unique because Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were only in the Yardbirds at the same time for only a few months.
Pete Townshend from the who was known for breaking guitars onstage, and one of the most iconic album covers ever was The Clash London Calling with a dude right in the middle of breaking his guitar. I have smashed acoustic guitars to pieces twice but I have also smashed an electric guitar once that was not all that different from the one here. It's hilarious because until the connection to the amp gets cut, it makes all kinds of crazy sounds!
Lol! 😂 yes this is a scene from a movie! great reaction! 😃 this song has been sampled by many bands, but I like the Yardbirds the best. Highly recommend a reaction to Robin Trower 🎸 "Too Rolling Stoned". Thank you Peace! 🙏
I highly recommend finding the jams of Eric Clapton and Duane Allman (and parts of the Allman Brothers Band) with the Derek & The Dominos. Astounding music.
Relax, this isn't really Yardbirds... It was a scripted bit for the movie "Blow Up". Beck actually refused to smash in his guitar so they bought some cheap crap from local stores. If you want to know what was really going on at the time, check out the Page/Beck composition Becks Bolero released in 1967 after Beck left the Yardbirds. And it only got better from then. Beck did Blues, Rock, Funk, Jazz Fusion, Rockabillty, Heavy Rock, Funk, and stuff the still doesn't have a label. No one else made a guitar do what he did.
This was a scene from the movie blow-up with David Hemmings. An interesting Avant guard type movie. . Everything staged to build a story in the movie. Not a real example of the yardbirds. Go find their true performances to see the real yardbirds.

You can see Page -Beck in Beck's bolero. Great song
Absolutely incredible song!
"Train keep a rolling" different lyrics,.....Zep's first song when the first reheshed together

This film is Blow Up (Blow Out was a Brian De Palma film from the late 70's).
@@Daniel-415-Ponce Yep, Blow up
WHOA! This was a blast from the past!! you have found a golden nugget! good job!!
That was wild. That busted guitar has to worth a fortune if someone has it. Although it looked like a prop the way it broke so easily, so idk.
From the film Blow Up

That was 1966 year, not 1967! But scene and the movie ,,Blow-out" great! 😉
Jeff's solo is the first one, Jimmy's starts at 3:35. He would do that solo on some of the live versions with Zeppelin.
Pete Townshend from the who was known for breaking guitars onstage, and one of the most iconic album covers ever was The Clash London Calling with a dude right in the middle of breaking his guitar.

This is from a Film of Mi chelangelo Antonioni. Beck's is another Giant guitarrits.
If wasn’t for the Yardbirds there would not have been a Led Zeppelin!
Aerosmith does a version of this that rocks .
I highly recommend finding the jams of Eric Clapton and Duane Allman (and parts of the Allman Brothers Band) with the Derek & The Dominos. Astounding music.

Here's VERY EARLY zeps version of the track
Well, they're probably stoned out their minds, that's why they're just sitting there
Aerosmith does this song too.
Thats from from the movie blow-up
Do Aerosmith's cover of TRAIN KEPT-A-ROLLIN'! Fantastic!
I rather liked that song. 💥
What movie is this?
Aerosmith does a good version of this song called Train Kept A Rolling on their first album that you should react to.
*2nd album.
Well now I know that Aerosmith ripped off the Yardbirds for Train kept a rollin....
Technically, they ripped off Tiny Bradshaw, the first to record this song in 1951...
JIMMY is playing the bass hear
