My first album I bought was Truth I saw him 3 times in Toronto King of the Strat! 🎸🇨🇦🎼
His solo at the end here is really something. I did not know Jeff was already getting these sounds from his guitar and amps as early as '69. His guitar playing soars. Saw him for the first time at Gaelic Park in the Bronx, Aug of '72, and I knew. I knew I had never heard anyone play anything like this. And it is true, as displayed here, you really had to see Jeff Beck play live to get the full measure of his genius talents. Can't believe he's gone. Can't believe it.
I was at the Gaelic Proark show too, amazing show ...... I thought the crowd was going to tear the place apart when Jeff's arrival was delayed due to a traffic accident....... Jeff, Tim Bogert, Carmine Apice and a singer named Kim Milford...... the crowd went absolutely Nutz, I remember that after that show my wife and I became instant fans and we saw almost every show after that whenever Jeff came to America, I would attend at least one show per tour ......... I'm still shaken to the core as a result of his death and I will forever be greatful to have seen him in action. R.I.P. Sir Jeff !!!!
@@johnzane4610 It wound up being a good thing for us that Beck was late in getting there, because my older brothers friend wound up ingesting some bad hallucinogen he'd bought there and wound up at Beth Israel. They released him with us and we hurried back to the concert really just as Beck and Co were taking the stage. I think that was the first occasion of him playing with Bogart and Appice. I seem to recall he played a white Strat and at one point set it down in front of him and proceeded to get some otherwordly sounds from it. Didn't care too much for the singer. Did get to see Argent and I think another band called Flash if I recall correctly. Beck was doing things with his guitar and getting sounds that I hadn't heard on any of his records. I was 16 at the time. Told all of my friends about it and like you began to look for every opportunity to see him play. At that time he had a big impact on my life and I have to be thankful to him for that. As I said, really can't believe he's gone. thanks for sharing your story.
Thank goodness we had him for as long as we did!
I still feel pretty damn cheated. The man lived a healthy lifestyle.
😢
Thank you Jesus ❤
@@melodymakermark How could You feel cheated after almost 60 years of treasured music & tours.
@Denny, because my hero just wasn’t supposed to die. He just wasn’t. I saw him last in 2019 and I was looking forward to 2029. I hear you though. What a run he had.
I was at this show, had up front seating on the left of the theater. Rod Stewart was positioned on that side if the stage, almost isolated. I remember watching him the whole set, mostly because he was singing, and directly in front of me. Yeah, tickets at the Fillmore East were $3 - about what I could afford as a 17 year old kid. I remember the stage having a weird empty feeling (compared to the many other shows I saw there).
Been listening to Jeff Beck for decades...love his guitar playing.. I've seen him 5times live..never seen this before .. brilliant thank you for posting.🎸R.I.P jeff
I was at the Saturday May 3rd show, and this doesn't appear to be exactly as my now waning memory remembers. Besides the fact that the audio and video are out of sync (or two different songs entirely), this was the famous show where he walked off stage after 2 songs. This was the second time he had played the Fillmore East, the 1st time the year before in June, billing 2nd to the Grateful Dead. This time he was the headliner, with NRBQ opening, and the 1st US appearance of Joe Cocker and the Grease Band 2nd, who played an absolutely stunning set. When Jeff and the band came out, they played 2 very rough songs and then Jeff said "I can't do this", put his guitar on the stage floor and walked off. Bill Graham was besides furious, and after asking us to give him a moment, came back out and asked us if he could make amends by having Joe Cocker play a 2nd set instead. We yelled sure, and history was certainly made. This was the only time in my 100+ shows at the Fillmore that an artist walked off stage. I LOVED the original Jeff Beck Group, especially with Ron Wood and later Nicky Hopkins, it's my favorite era of Jeff's playing, oh how I wish there was full footage of his early performances....
As I mentioned elsewhere, I put this together mainly for the light show. I have the silent film from the Historic Films Channel and set to music from the Us tour.
I was there ALSO at this show and your recollection s are exactly on POINT. I remember Beck walking off stage and Bill Graham making amends with the Audience. Beck's Audacity was evident even THEN. A GREAT BAND... I also wish there were MORE videoes of these shows... Thanks! Rachela.....
@@fenderbass3847 Oh, how exciting, those were wonderful shows for sure! When he walked off stage I didn't take it as audacity but more of a pharmacology incident. He was giggling and looking here and there, even the rest of the band were surprised. But the strains of A Little Help from My Friends still echo within my mind, we were very fortunate to have experienced this...
Cool story. I was there also
Yes, saw Jeff Beck at the Island Garden in N.Y . Most likely the yr. before. It ,was a tour and a stop just before going to Fillmore East.The Band was struggling ,either w/ monitors or acoustics or stoned out of their skulls. Local Bands opened for them .Stewart ,was a virtual up and coming singer, It ,was very cool to see Him at a local venue.
I remember taking the subway that Friday night to the Fillmore and buying a ticket in the last row. I walked up to the first row, saw an empty seat and watched Joe Cocker, I think NRBQ and Jeff Beck! I paid about $3! Still have the program.I remember Beck giving the finger to the audience. Rod Strwart was very shy. They were fantastic! So cool! lol Those days are sadly gone
Sadly those days were finished when managers wanted big bucks for their band( Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant). Things changed then and now has only gotten worse.
@@danielcombs3207 thats why i stopped listening to rock /pop when sick monsters like
madonna and m jackson appeared
Yes! I was at that show, too! Amazing you still have the program. I was in the front too, way off to the left. I remember Rod Stewart sort of weirdly isolated from the band, he was on the left side, directly in front of me, not in the middle of the stage where most singers are usually positioned. The Fillmore always felt like a high school auditorium to me, it was small and intimate.
This is wonderful! I feel as if you posted this just for me. THANKS!!!!!
Different line up than the concert I saw just a few months before this in Seattle. Wish this was in sync. Thanks any way--Beck is the best of the best.
Amazing video and recording of Jeff from 53 years ago! They're out of sync, but the quality of both is good. Thanks for sharing.
Richard, thank you very much. My focus is always on the lightshow. The clips were silent and because most of the people can`t stand silent movies i undelayed the film with some recording from their 1969 us tour.
Jeff was probably the best in the sixties great wave of british guitar players, but never found a straight focus like Clapton and Page so mass success eluded him. Anyway, an historic figure on par with Hendrix at the top of guitar pantheon.
Yes.
Focus was his problem- he had too much of a free spirit and he just wanted to have fun… imagine if he had the drive to write songs and work on developing his voice - cuz he had a good voice
Extraordinary tone. Sounds as though he's going for it just as this fades out!
This is only the second live footage of the Jeff Beck Group . Great video.
I was at his first show and almost every show after that for many years whenever he came to NYC or nj . Truly my guitar hero.
Even his nearly last show which was at the count Basie theater in red bank nj in October. Three months before he died.
Shapes Of Things indeed ...
we had amateur lightshow at our jr. high teen dances
Seattle's prime rock n' visuals was Retina Circus
Ahhh, i was just a child
~ and it wasJeff Beck made me wanna crank on a electric guitar 🎶
this was not amateur though , at the time ,this was top of their game psychedellic liquid lightshow

Thanks for sharing!
I agree.
It's too bad that the video doesn't match the audio.
It's too bad that there isn't more video. But I'm grateful for this snippet.
Flabbergasting guitar playing...blues turning into metal, almost like Coltrane at times. None like him.
still love it!!
Amazing
Change playback speed to 1.25 for a more accurate performance.
I saw Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart at the Fillmore 69/70? with Jethro Tull doing the set before and the crowd was angry that Tull had to go, a fantastic performance(their second at the Fillmore), then Beck started playing and they topped Tull
That was the same tour he played the Boston Tea Party
Wow!
Truth was a ground breaking album no doubt! Page was listening for sure! Zep 1 takes some of this sound ! Also the beginnings of blues based heavymetal. Very good lineup as well.
However this is not the right video for the song being played? Where is Rod Stewart, Mickey Waller and Ron Wood. Shape of Things was only recorded by this line up and they are not on the video?
I was at one of Bill Grahams, the Filmore or Winterland, when Jeff Beck Group was fronted by Rod Stewart who came out looking like 2023 drag style... pink negligee open front top and tight pants, puffed up blond hair... singing Rock Me Baby. I swear this felt like Rod stole the show, and the fashion was just freaking me out.
Das waren noch Zeiten
🤩
YEP 🤜🤛🏻
Ya Vol...!! AchTung...!! Mach Schnell!!
@@douglasknoll3500 arrrbeit 🤜🤜🤜
He was at the Fillmore … we were at the Stadium.
Cool sound. The video doesn`t match but we get what we can now........
Jeff Beck with rod Stewart on vocals
It seems to me the music is not in sink with the video ... At all.If even the same song . And the audio is painfull. But. Very cool still
God it’s god I see god!!
Unfortunately....no sync footage....oh well, better than nothing...I guess.
where si rod , and Ron ?
この時代のトニーニューマン初めて見た
Does anybody know why he walked off stage after two songs?
The JBG was imploding. Rod & Woody were stealing eggs in NYC just to eat. Even the roadies ate better than the rest of the band. Peter *(Pumpkin Eater) Grant was a 'Huge' business end rip~off. They were completely slated to play '69 Woodstock, and backed out. Jeff wasn't the easiest to get along with in those days, and was notoriously unstable. There were some unfounded rumors that Jeff's wife was shagging around while he was on tour, but it was never confirmed, and the marriage finally did end in a divorce.
` I seen them on the same '68 & '69 tours, only at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, and although they played remarkable, i always had the feeling that the show could abruptly end premature for some reason. If Jeff walked~off in Detroit, like he did at the Fillmore East, i think he would have got his ass kicked~haha. Anyway, like someone mentioned here, even though i witnessed Beck in all of his creations, i would have to say Hands Down, this was my favorite period of Jeff's long & illustrious career. A side note here, supposedly sometime during the 1969 USA tour, Jeff's Les Paul was stolen in Detroit, although some claim it was NYC, which could add fire to an already aggressive & pissed~off Mr. Beck~()~La? Many m()()ns ago, I do remember reading that an interviewer asked Jeff what was his favorite city to play in, and Beck said..."New York City has the best audiences". *God Speed Jeff in a Souped~up Ford Coupe.
@@dennymcfastlane8530 the rumors about his wife were when he was on tour in the US with the Yardbirds. They were unfounded.
@@davidratcliffe1 Long time ago David, thanks for jogging my memory. But i guess it still didn't take much to upset Jeff back then. What do you expect from a extremely gifted temperamental artist like Beck. Also, another reason for the JBG not to play '69 Woodstock was that they were slated to go on after the 'HOT' Sly Stone & the Family Stone.
why play a song that has nothing to do with the video?
LOL!!!!! "Historic Films" shot by terrible, inexperienced cameramen, with poor direction, and no sound synchronization. And we all knew Bill Graham had the cash to do better, but pinched like a miser. We rode the crest of the most exciting musical explosion in human history; but we sure did drop the ball on a lot of things. Can you imagine if everyone recorded or filmed everything they did, like the Grateful Dead & Frank Zappa did? Especially Jeff; who recorded and released very little live performances over the last 55 years......
Better to have poor film of the Jeff Beck Group than none at all!
Bel documento visivo e sonoro, però è fuori sincronizzazione.
Il film non può essere doppiato perché la fonte è priva di suono. Ho accompagnato questo film con una registrazione dal vivo perché altrimenti un commento su due è: "Manca il suono".
La mia preoccupazione principale è lo spettacolo di luci del Fillmore East, che si vede molto bene in questa registrazione.
@@phoenixretrolight3460 È un peccato, perché quel periodo di JB è poco documentato.
Delay
Fascinating film, but rotten synch. Rod's vocal is way off key, but this underlines the problems singers in particular had in the days before onstage monitor speakers were properly refined or even present at all. But all that considered, it must have been great to be there.
Old tap makes Beck's band sound out of tune, eeek! Thanks anyway!
Definitely not one of their best songs. Wasn't then and isn't now. The light show is annoying. Colored oil and water on an overhead projector. Did that at a junior high concert with my band.
Tom Thumb BUM YOUR attendants are here w/meds....!!
@@douglasknoll3500 Oh, Dougass, sorry, I don't speak monkey.
