Boy you are so lucky. I had no idea Rod was in various Groups back in the day. I first heard about him when I first heard Tonight's The Night when I was about Nine. The Filmore has had the cream of the Crop performing including Aretha Franklin and even Leon James. The Brits are so Bad@ss when it comes to Work Ethic, One Group Breaks Up and then Another One is created.
Albert opened and Tim Buckley came on second. Rod was much more relaxed and comfortable as the lead singer that weekend. Their first Fillmore East concert was June 14 & 15 in '68. The Seventh Sons opened and then Beck came on followed by the Grateful Dead. Stewart was so nervous that he opened the set singing behind the amps in the first show on Friday, he gradually got confidence and by Saturday night was a real rock'n' rolla! Jazz Guitarist Wes Montgomery died on June 15 and for the Saturday show Bobby Weir told the audience and then the Dead proceeded to jam until about 4 am in the second show. I went both weekends and had a blast! I practically spent all of my free weekends at the Fillmore East back then. That's why my ears are still ringing.
I'm in high school and everyone else was into Hendrix, Clapton and Page. For me it was JB. The other giants of the day were awesome but JB Group was somehow more sophisticated IMO.
Remarkably, I was there along with you. I took photographs, black and white, and I still have a nice 8x10 that I developed and printed myself. This was my favorite band at the time, and I thought that the show was a real treat. One episode stands out...Jeff launched off into a solo for one song and was having so much fun with it that he lost the other fellows and went off on his own. They were all pros, and they had been comping him as they should, but at some point they laid out and let him go. He did things like play rapid fire bits of other songs, and even play the banjo song from the movie Deliverance, complete with self created banjo sounds. He finally realized what had happened, nodded back to the others, swung the neck up and when he came down they were back in the song. I have always admired Jeff's sense of adventure and fun.
Yeah, what a great combo …. don’t forget the impeccable Nicky Hopkins on piano. Mick Waller outstanding on I Ain’t Superstitious. Rod soulfully rasping spent a lot of time behind the amps in his too small jacket. Woody rumbled well but somewhat guitaristically along the bottom. And the maestro with Jeff’s Boogie sent us guitarist into pure ecstasy🎼 🎸🔥💫 those were the daze my friend ….
Ronnie Wood on bass ~ him and Jeff are tight as f*ck together. Jeff Beck Group, Zeppelin 1, Hendrix ~ fans sure were spoilt for choice back then~ beefheart, zappa, velvets, MC5 and stooges too ~ 🎉
I was at that concert. Still have the audio recording I made on my new SONY stereo casdette player. Next day went to Mannys and bought a gold top les paul with case for $250. !!! BTW This is not the concert recording but the TRUTH album. Don't lie!
October 18th 1968 was at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago. I know, because I was there. And you're playing a recorded version of the song. It's not even live.
R.i.P. Jeff Beck
One of my top 10 favorite guitarists of all time.
Thank you for the music.
yeah just one of the best guitarist ever 👍
One of the greatest bands. I had the cassette tape and couldn't play it enough driving around Malibu in 1968
It was a really exciting concert and great memories. Albert King was on right before and waspowerful.

This is not the audio from the concert, sadly

@@1blastmanThanks for sharing
A great show.

My first concert.

Me too!
Wish we had the real soundtrack for the video
This is the studio recording from Truth.
what a trip watching the jeff beck Group cover the Yardbird's hit "Shapes Of Things".
I was in the audience for this one. Albert King & Tim Buckley also played.

You nailed it!
Wow the drummer Mick Waller is a beast !!
That’s what I was thinking. Never heard this before and he is killing it.
Mick Waller on drums
truth was the truth...
Beck-Ola is one hell of an album. The top players are all going to eleven. Rod rocked still.
And Beck just barely could stand him...
Ronnie Wood on bass ~ him and Jeff are tight as f*ck together.
Jeff Beck Group, Zeppelin 1, Hendrix ~ fans sure were spoilt for choice back then~ beefheart, zappa, velvets, MC5 and stooges too ~ 🎉
The no smoking sign cracks me up. Good luck with that one there.
Like that slide guitar sound in the background, if that's what it is.
good ears...
Mickey Waller on Drums ! Ron Wood on Bass
Mickey Waller on "Morning Dew" is outrageous...
Is that Rod Stewart?
Yes
... ¡¡¡ TLAZOKAMATI !!! ...
That's funny when the spellcheck & translation can't figure out WTF you're saying LOL !!! Whatever it is if it concerns Jeff i agree. 🎸
Is that Rod ?
Shure
Yep
Good to see Rod Stewart before he sold out. A very good band, with Ron Wood on Bass.
I was at that concert. Still have the audio recording I made on my new SONY stereo casdette player.
Next day went to Mannys and bought a gold top les paul with case for $250. !!!

You should send the recording to whoever posted this video and have them make a new video.

Still prefer The Yardbirds version with Keith Relf singing. Much more cohesive and revolutionary for its time.
Beck was so good Ronnie Would had to play bass
Better?
them riffs so similar to what led zep put out in '69
Zep based their whole career on ideas they stole from The Jeff Beck Group….and Ginger was right, Bonham couldn’t swing a sack of shit!
A riff Beck and Page both used in the Yardbirds.
Fun video but the music is straight off the Truth album
Absolutely the recording.
Despite Beck's contributions, I still think the Yardbirds' original version is better than this.
Can’t argue with that.
No way
Two different animals ! 🩵💙
@@GiacintoGiaExactly; both are beasts in their own right.
I disagree!😂
That was fun. Didn't much care for Rod's vocals on this.
What an AWESOME group!!
Ron Wood on bass
I thought so. I had no idea he played with Beck. I thought I knew my shit too!
About the only band I liked him in.
