      As I recall, we were picked up outside the Hammersmith Odeon at about 08:00. I don't remember all the direction. Initially when we arrived at the Rikki Tic club we were given black tee shirts to wear. There was a lot of down time in the morning where we were hanging about inside the club and outside by the river, so they could shoot close up's or other scenes. ( The catering for the extras was terrible I remember, nothing like Grand Prix) In the afternoon we were inside, the band were playing. We were dancing, cameras moved in and out, I never made the final cut. At one point we were crowded round the front of stage, the band were not on, but movie magic weaves scene and action together. Those are my best memories of the day. We were not needed after that. I seem to remember standing next to the girl in the big yellow hat at one time.

      Yes, we looking engrossed in the band. It's a pity because Vox Amplifiers are really reliable. I was in the fight scene at the back pushing and shoving with " care". I was 18 and Yardbirds fan myself. ( living in London, Soho and the clubs were normal haunts)

    I saw those Yardbirds at the Studio Club in Dallas, Texas. It was also a small dance club, about the size of the one in this film. Everybody stopped dancing and stood gaping at the spectacle that was to become Led Zep. It was too novel and amazing to keep paying attention to your girl and your moves. Page blew me away when he used the cello bow. There was no stage, they set up and played on the dance floor, and I was within 4 feet of Page. What an experience.

    from new issue of Classic Rock magazine, “I basically got my Telecaster out to do that solo(Stairway To Heaven). Even though I’d been playing Les Pauls, I wanted to get that bite of the Telecaster on it. It was the same Telecaster that I’d played on the first album, the one Jeff Beck had given me that I’d used in The Yardbirds. A bit of a magical guitar, really.”

    I saw Blow Up when I was a kid, don’t really know how. Ended up getting it on DVD years ago because I liked it. Then, in 2019, this scene basically happened to me. I got attacked by a concert crowd after getting part of a smashed guitar. Someone onstage just stuck it out and handed it directly to me after the curtain dropped. There were a group of girls just jumping on me, ripping pieces of wood off of the guitar body while it was in my hands. There were so many splinters. The major difference is that I had the body, not the neck. And I wanted the guitar, so I ran away and then wrapped it in a space blanket so nobody could see what I was carrying. So I come here to relive the moment. 😂

    If you're like me and thought you were going to hear "Train Kept A-Rollin'", here's the story; Antonioni loved The Yardbirds’ version of ‘The Train Kept A-Rollin’ ’·and felt it would work best within Blow-Up. However, copyright permission for the song could not be obtained by the October filming date, so Keith Relf modified the lyrics and created ‘Stroll On’ the day before actual shooting took place.”

    Thanks for this video here, Those Vox amps had a Problem back then, I love seeing Jeff Hit it with his guitar, Awesome, when i was in High School, In Detroit, 1969, my friends had a Band, They both had Vox Super Beatles , and the amp would quit working, and they Both would hit it and Pound on it to get it to work, Maybee, seeing Jeff do this brought back Memories of then, Cousin Figel

    Jeff Beck was a mind blowing guitar player. When I heard he'd passed I played Truth. Still one of the greatest albums of all time. It's been a few years since I watched Blow Up. This scene has so much going on. And is that Tom Holland from the Ipcress File when we first see the crowd. And they're all standing still. Except the couple dancing in the back.

      Same to me. When I knew, that Jeff has passed away I played Truth. Jeff was one of the greatest, a true musician with incredible sence of sound

    At Cannes Film Festival, Blowup won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, the festival's highest honour. Antonioni definitely had his ear to the ground to include the Yardbirds . Do not miss this mysterious film! Or Zabriski Point !

      It seems that Antonioni wanted the Who to play this scene. Maybe because they were known to smash guitar on stage. But for reasons I don't know, it failed and the Yardbirds got the job. It's a bit strange because the Yardbirds were not very known to destroy their equipment.

    Boy what a piece of learning about Zep's origins! Some pioneering shit here. Still sounds fresh and badass, too!
