there is no "difference between reality and perception": the street and the concert hall are both very real, the difference is in the way different people perceive the same thing
I ❤ Relf's vocals on a good night when he was sober. Great harmonica player too. However, this is not a true live performance. I wish that it were, but here Yardbirds are miming to one of their studio recordings.
@@gregshirley-jeffersonboule6258 yeah imagine if the Ybirds had Burdon, Jagger, jim/van Morrison or even tiny tim... I think this was Relf at his apex!
Just struck me how dangerous that was to film: that was really Jeff Beck and really Jeff Beck’s guitar and actual Yardbirds fans going genuinely hysterical over a sharp piece of splintered wood while women on stiletto heels got pushed over the front of the stage. That guitar neck today would probably be worth a few million.
@@ashharkausar413 that’s part of the thematic point of Blow up - meta referentiality - but pro wrestling is more staged than this was. And also more dangerous. - throwing heavy broken wood into a packed crowd - not likely film studios and the actors/extras would let that happen these days.
The director, to all the extras, before he yelled ACTION. "OK folks. Remember. As badass as the music is, everyone do not move. The first person who starts dancing, or begins to tap their toes, will NOT get paid."
Except the totally groovy chick in the silver raincoat & her partner! Far out! I miss the days when u could just express urself & dance like an idiot instead of the gymnastics ,& simulated sex acts they call dancing. Damn I feel old 😒
FOR 218maryland: I love Page very much and I recognize that from 1967 to 1968 he really contributed to the sonic innovation of the electric guitar and that he was a skilled virtuoso (even if his technique wasn't perfect). However, we cannot gloss over the correct chronology, who he did before and what. Undoubtedly, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend and also Lou Reed, in the purely acid rock field, were the real revolutionaries especially in the search for electric sounds never heard before, and even in the production of pure noise with the electric guitar, already in 1965 (Townshend actually began in late 1964). Thus, they clearly preceded not only Hendrix, but also Jimmy Page, who at the time was only the session man for other people's pop songs. Furthermore, if we go from guitarists who acquired some fame to those who remained semi-unknown, we must remember the guitarists of bands such as Oxford Circle (Live 1966), Fifty Foot Hose (demo 1966), Red Krajola (listen the Live 1967, with noisy jams of 30 minutes!), Electric Prunes (1965-66) and other minor groups, who used fuzz, distortion, tremolos and other extremely acid effects, always before Hendrix (and even Page). Not to mention experimental and avant-garde soloists and bands like Keith Rowe from AMM (prepared guitar like John Cage did with the piano...), Derek Bailey (free improvisation totally without chords), Bjorn Foongard (chamber music composer with totally atonal prepared electric guitar from which he made any sound and noise), Sonny Sharrock (experimental free-jazz-rock electric guitar) and many other semi-unknown ones, unfortunately! You can read up on RUclips, you can find everything! Some of these guitarists (like Fongaard and Rowe) began experimenting already in the late 1950s, or early 1960s, so even before Jeff Beck and all the electric acid rock guitarists of the 60s, and in any case in a different field than rock, but with a notable influence on following psychedelic and experimental rock (Keith Rowe, for example, was a model of inspiration for Syd Barrett). Yes: "we are more alike than different"... Thanks for your very polite answer and I wish you a good life.
Yes, by all rights they should have booked The Who for this part, except Keith Moon would have left his teeth marks all over the scenery and put a bomb in his drum or something.
I did not give this song any attention until watchings this film part. What amazes me is that the fuzz sound from the guitars is actually rougher than the sound of the Who in the same period. Maybe this was why Pete Townshend came into Jim Marshalls shop and asked: "JIm, I need bigger weapons!" ??
The movie "Blow Up" has a Yardbirds performance with Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page in the line up. If you want to understand Swingin' Sixties London this movie has that vibe.
The old Vox Beatle basher amp is what broke but he takes it out on his guitar. Jimi smiling thinking hey dude, were are you going with that guitar neck in your hand.
@@MD-lf3gt I haven't seen the movie yet. All I saw was the clip in this video with the Yardbirds playing in some club somewhere. The timeline seems right.
Jeff Beck como parte de The Yardbirds en 1966 y en una escena de la película Blow Up, basada en un cuento de Cortázar, y con la dirección de Michelangelo Antonioni... la movida londinense de esa época y los Yardbirds tocaban más agresivo que cuando estuvo Clapton. Claro, si el otro guitarrista era Jimmy Page, que le trajo 'peso' a los Yardbirds. Un blues rock agresivo para 1966, y lo que destaca es que a Beck's, cuando no le responde bien el amplificador, lo destroza con su guitarra muy enojado, y, a lo Pete Townshend, también hace añicos a su guitarra... Beck tenia su carácter y esto estuvo libretado pero sustentado en Beck's... muy muy pleno verlos a Page y Beck juntos. Jeff ingresó A los Yardbirds en reemplazo de Clapton por recomendación del propio Jimmy. DEP Beck's * no creo que les haya caído muy en gracia la escena a los Yardbirds, por ser la rutina original de The Who, de destruir guitarra, amplificadores y batería. Pero era una película de Antonioni y le hicieron al requerimiento
Una película fascinante, yo creo que David Hemmings 1:23 era en realidad David Bailey, fotógrafo excepcional del new pop British, una vez, en un viaje a Italia, compré dos carteleras del film, del maestro Antonioni, uno se lo vendí a un amigo, el otro se perdería en mis numerosos cambios de domicilio, era un film POP, lo que a mí me gusta
You’re average kid in London had to blow a month paycheck on one of those trendy outfits minus the shoes. They really weren’t trying to fuck up their clothing. My mom would have been like 9 years younger than these birds but even in the early 70’s a nice dress like that was like 25-30 quid.

This segment also records the exact history of the real life yardbirds, as Beck started flaking out, leaving Jimmy to take the reins, and then magically transform it into Led Zeppelin
@@fs.pureblood Before Burnette, Yardbirds, and Aerosmith, "Train Kept a-Rollin'" was written (or co-written), recorded, and performed by Tiny Bradshaw. For the film Blow-Up, to get around copyright, Yardbirds changed the lyrics, and they renamed the song "Stroll On."
True-the commentary on the DVD talks about how director Michelangelo Antonioni thought the Who’s auto-destruct stage shows reflected people’s frustration with dehumanizing aspects of the modern world. The Who were on tour in the USA so he went with Yardbirds. He took the idea further in”Zabriskie Point” where a modern house and its furnishings explode in slow motion while music by Pink Floyd plays.
Producer to Vox: "Can we have a load of amps to put in our film? It'll be an excellent advert! We definitely won't show one shitting the bed..." Vox: "Yeah, sure! Sounds like a great deal!"
Clapton very famously used Marshall amps in the Bluesbreakers and Cream, but started with Vox when he was in the Yardbirds. Page often used a Supro in the studio.
Two thirds of the British Holy Trinity of Rock Guitar in one single scene and, of course, Jeff would have never imposed such disrespect (although he chopped it off quite a bit) on his beloved Squire of the Yardbird years.
I came across a child of God who was walking along the road. no no no no I came across this video by mistake or by chance and it's brilliant. I've never seen it before and I was very sad. when Keith Ralph died all those years ago and a covers band, I played him. we played several yardbird songs and recently after 6 years wait I managed to play Good Morning little School but I was a bit where I might get locked up.. That really is a brilliant track. posting this before I go to look up more information about this clip as I often can't find my way back to these things and I reckon that's because I'm a rock God and not a geek. In case I don't find anything, can anybody give me any information about where it comes from? was it part of a film or documentary?
Jeff Beck, well in advance of Hendrix, starts the song with a very long feedback, makes the amplifiers sizzle, manages to produce real electric discharges from the guitar distortions (listen from minute 1.40). He is the real innovator of the electric rock guitar, the one who invented a thousand electric effects, together with Pete Townshend, certainly not Jimi Hendrix!
Mmmmmmm... No. Chuck Berry invented the electric rock guitar. Had he not discovered what he did when he did, there wouldn't be jimmy page playing. I believe Page would even admit this.
@@218maryland I didn't say that Jeff Beck "invented" the rock guitar, but who he was a really "innovator" of rock guitar, one of the first (certainly before and more than Hendrix), and that "invented" a lot of sound electric effects. It seems to me that you have misinterpreted what I said.
@@parmec1875 You are CORRECT. I apologize. I 100% agree about Beck innovating prior to AND more than Hendrix. Hell, even Hendrix himself admitted that Beck had been getting the sounds (Feedback play, early distortion play, etc.) before him. It seems we are more alike than different, friend :) Cheers
@Parme C This whole thread of who did what "first" is insulting to Jimi. London in 1966 is where Jimi arrived already fully formed as a unique guitarist, miles ahead of his contemporaries in terms of hard years of touring experience night after night in deep southern US, often in segregated audiences, with Curtis Knight, Little Richard, etc. Jimi's use of feedback, in whatever month it came in late 1966 or early 1967 live or on record (e.g. Foxey Lady) is irrelevant. Pete, Jeff, Hendrix, Clapton, Jimmy were ALL in absolute awe of each other, and everyone was learning from each other. That is just how it works. When Jimi joined Cream onstage to play Killing Floor at the Royal Albert Hall he blew Eric out of the water. But that is not the point here. They all went on different paths with their use of feedback. Personally, I don't care who did what first. I care deeply when I listen to all of their records, how they feel and sound. Not sure what @Parme C is going on about here... who gets credit for "discovering" feedback? It is a rubbish argument. Just appreciate what each person did and stop trying to rank them in terms of who did what when... otherwise you fall into the Rolling Stone syndrome of endlessly ranking everyone. What bullshit! We all know what we like. Any anyone reading this know exactly what I mean. I never saw Jimi, but I have seen the Who many times, Jeff Beck sadly but once, Clapton a few times, Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter many times... they all do what they do. Stop harping on who is "best" or "first" - I am sure Jimi and Jeff would also find this a useless argument.
@@tundratunes This is the comment section on RUclips. My advice is don't read comments, it gets far worse than two music fans discussing early inventors of electric guitar techniques. You'll give yourself a stroke reading comments on other videos. Godspeed sir
Amazing how the audience is almost completely motionless...Almost hypnotized...And the Jeff Beck throws the neck of the poor guitar he's smashed ( influenced by Pete Townshend no doubt ) and then everyone goes berserk...
At first, most of the audience appears as if they are on qualudes. Only a couple of people dancing. No one is smiling, cheering, clapping their hands, boppin' their heads to the song's beat. Are they bored, or are they in a deep state of Transcendental Zen mediation? Then a fragment of a guitar falls on the ballroom floor, and everyone freaks out. It's almost a riot.
It's a funny story told here on RUclips by Simon Napier Bell. Simon managed Yardbirds at the time. Simon sabotaged Who by giving a ton of lousy advice to Who manager Kit Lambert. Simon wanted the part for Yardbirds, so he coached Kit to hold out for unreasonable demands like way too much money. Hilarious!
According to IMDB, the Yardbirds' manager Simon Napier-Bell talked to Kit Lambert, who managed The Who, and convinced him to ask for far too much money and for final edit of the scene. After Antonioni turned Lambert down flat, Napier-Bell called him and sympathetically offered the Yardbirds for far less. What I read said that Antonioni likely realized what had happened but appreciated Napier-Bell's chutzpah.
Great film, although i never understood how the kids could just stand there and not dance or even move to the music. I was 10 when i first saw this and it always bothered me.
One of the main theme of Antonioni's films was the incommunicability between individuals in the modern society. He also played with surrealism. The people are motionless because they are not totally present in their mind. Only when violence is manifested did they react.

THE FIRST HEAVY-METAL BAND.
Heavy metal I'm not so sure but hard rock was just around the corner at this point...
This could easily have been spliced into A Clockwork Orange and no one would know the difference.
None would know the difference between Yardbirds and Wendy Carlos? You have ears? And a brain in between them?
A quite interesting snippet of early culture creation.
Yes, that’s Jimmy Page playing rhythm guitar. Just before he took over and made it Led Zeppelin
And Jeff Beck as the destructor lead guitar
I'm thinking Jeff left during the US tour and Jimmy played another tour before starting Led Zeppelin..
No, they both plays lead guitar.
Blow Up was '66. Zep formed in '68.
No, just before everyone else in the band found other things to do.
And I am remembering the Rory's Strat - how did he get it and how it served him...
This is a movie, the director is building the tension for the climatic scene, if the crowd was moving around it would ruin the scene. 2:51
The Yardbirds were pretty punk in their last couple of years. By the way - Pause at 0:23 and read the tombstone sign on the door.
This segment also records the exact history of the real life yardbirds, as Beck started flaking out, leaving Jimmy to take the reins, and then magically transform it into Led Zeppelin
I highly doubt that JB was "flaking out" he just needed to get out of this group to explore waaaaaaaaaay more styles than Jimmy could ever dream of

The historic moment when Jeff Beck stopped playing archtops and picked up the Les Paul.
I love Harold
The crowd seems enthusiastic
The PPL set amazed like they never heard uv
Rockin- Roll until they cut loose😂😂😂😂😂
Wow I never seen a zombie audience..
Film vazut la Preotesa prin 73!
is the guy at 1:29 a time traveller lol, looks immaculate to the present day
I bet the after party on Blow Up was rather good.....
The girl at 1:33 is Darcy Frey
so funny beck with the obviously prop guitar to smash up. ha ha ha
The song is called Stroll On.
Something just occurred to me. Is the girl dancing in the striped pants part of the mime troupe that we see elsewhere?
It's Janet Street-Porter, aged 17.
This is part of a movie! anybody the name please?
Blow up, as far i could find on google
Blow Up
@@Trobtwillis a great movie!
Any chance there is a "New Yardbirds" version of Train Kept Rolling?
It is the very first song they rehearsed when they formed.
Two thirds of the British Holy Trinity of Rock Guitar in one single scene and, of course, Jeff would have never imposed such disrespect (although he chopped it off quite a bit) on his beloved Squire of the Yardbird years.
I came across a child of God who was walking along the road. no no no no I came across this video by mistake or by chance and it's brilliant.
I've never seen it before and I was very sad. when Keith Ralph died all those years ago and a covers band, I played him. we played several yardbird songs and recently after 6 years wait I managed to play Good Morning little School but I was a bit where I might get locked up.. That really is a brilliant track.
posting this before I go to look up more information about this clip as I often can't find my way back to these things and I reckon that's because I'm a rock God and not a geek.
In case I don't find anything, can anybody give me any information about where it comes from? was it part of a film or documentary?
Blowup, starring David Hemmings 1966
The name of this song is "Strollin On." They could not get permission to use "Train Kept A Rollin." They essentially wrote this overnight.
à 1:36 le chanteur de The Equals.
Jeff Beck, well in advance of Hendrix, starts the song with a very long feedback, makes the amplifiers sizzle, manages to produce real electric discharges from the guitar distortions (listen from minute 1.40). He is the real innovator of the electric rock guitar, the one who invented a thousand electric effects, together with Pete Townshend, certainly not Jimi Hendrix!
Mmmmmmm... No. Chuck Berry invented the electric rock guitar. Had he not discovered what he did when he did, there wouldn't be jimmy page playing. I believe Page would even admit this.
@@218maryland I didn't say that Jeff Beck "invented" the rock guitar, but who he was a really "innovator" of rock guitar, one of the first (certainly before and more than Hendrix), and that "invented" a lot of sound electric effects.
It seems to me that you have misinterpreted what I said.
@@parmec1875 You are CORRECT. I apologize. I 100% agree about Beck innovating prior to AND more than Hendrix. Hell, even Hendrix himself admitted that Beck had been getting the sounds (Feedback play, early distortion play, etc.) before him. It seems we are more alike than different, friend :) Cheers
@Parme C This whole thread of who did what "first" is insulting to Jimi. London in 1966 is where Jimi arrived already fully formed as a unique guitarist, miles ahead of his contemporaries in terms of hard years of touring experience night after night in deep southern US, often in segregated audiences, with Curtis Knight, Little Richard, etc. Jimi's use of feedback, in whatever month it came in late 1966 or early 1967 live or on record (e.g. Foxey Lady) is irrelevant. Pete, Jeff, Hendrix, Clapton, Jimmy were ALL in absolute awe of each other, and everyone was learning from each other. That is just how it works. When Jimi joined Cream onstage to play Killing Floor at the Royal Albert Hall he blew Eric out of the water. But that is not the point here. They all went on different paths with their use of feedback. Personally, I don't care who did what first. I care deeply when I listen to all of their records, how they feel and sound. Not sure what @Parme C is going on about here... who gets credit for "discovering" feedback? It is a rubbish argument. Just appreciate what each person did and stop trying to rank them in terms of who did what when... otherwise you fall into the Rolling Stone syndrome of endlessly ranking everyone. What bullshit! We all know what we like. Any anyone reading this know exactly what I mean. I never saw Jimi, but I have seen the Who many times, Jeff Beck sadly but once, Clapton a few times, Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter many times... they all do what they do. Stop harping on who is "best" or "first" - I am sure Jimi and Jeff would also find this a useless argument.
@@tundratunes This is the comment section on RUclips. My advice is don't read comments, it gets far worse than two music fans discussing early inventors of electric guitar techniques. You'll give yourself a stroke reading comments on other videos. Godspeed sir
Amazing how the audience is almost completely motionless...Almost hypnotized...And the Jeff Beck throws the neck of the poor guitar he's smashed ( influenced by Pete Townshend no doubt ) and then everyone goes berserk...
Jeff Beck would not had that problem if his amps were Fenders.
LOL. Wouldn't have sounded as good.
The audience are absolute mannequins until Jeff throws his guitar parts. Great acting. lol
Very hard to get a read on your performance as a band with this crowd.
Proper dancing
Page laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Apparently Beck's guitar was borrowed from Steve Howe (later of Yes); I hope they paid him for it.
!!!Jimmy Page y Jeff Beck!!!!, ¿alguien ahí se hubiese imaginado los monstruos en los que se convertirían? 😁✌🤘
❤🎵🎼🎶💯👏👍
The audience look so bummed cuz the know Aerosmith is gonna murder this song in a decade and they have to listen to this in the 60s
It's not "The train Kept 'a Rollin'", it´s actually "Stroll On"
That blond dude looks like I imagine Stewie Griffin would look like when he grows up.
They should do a flashback on Family Guy...when someone was a guitar tech for Jeff Beck, then they get a guitar smashed over their head.
Jeff Beck guitar destroy！
Wait... is Aerosmith covering them or vice-versa?
At first, most of the audience appears as if they are on qualudes. Only a couple of people dancing. No one is smiling, cheering, clapping their hands, boppin' their heads to the song's beat. Are they bored, or are they in a deep state of Transcendental Zen mediation?
Then a fragment of a guitar falls on the ballroom floor, and everyone freaks out. It's almost a riot.

Jeff Beck thought that the film Blow Up was rubbish. The director wanted to use The Who, but they were not available, or didn't want to do it.
Beck was probably ashamed of his tantrum.
It's a funny story told here on RUclips by Simon Napier Bell. Simon managed Yardbirds at the time. Simon sabotaged Who by giving a ton of lousy advice to Who manager Kit Lambert.
Simon wanted the part for Yardbirds, so he coached Kit to hold out for unreasonable demands like way too much money. Hilarious!
Directors 1st choice for this segment was The Who but they passed it up.
so glad they did, yARbirds kickin' ass & takin' names !!!!
According to IMDB, the Yardbirds' manager Simon Napier-Bell talked to Kit Lambert, who managed The Who, and convinced him to ask for far too much money and for final edit of the scene. After Antonioni turned Lambert down flat, Napier-Bell called him and sympathetically offered the Yardbirds for far less. What I read said that Antonioni likely realized what had happened but appreciated Napier-Bell's chutzpah.
観客が静かにしてるのが面白い。
How the hell is no one going crazy in the crowd? Barely anyone bumping their heads too. Everyone just watching like if its a poetry recital
They're STONED!!!
Great film, although i never understood how the kids could just stand there and not dance or even move to the music. I was 10 when i first saw this and it always bothered me.
One of the main theme of Antonioni's films was the incommunicability between individuals in the modern society.
He also played with surrealism.
The people are motionless because they are not totally present in their mind. Only when violence is manifested did they react.
Pete Townshed? 0:45
Noo
