By: sapphiretaurus. on 07 Oct 08, 07:13:11
That was all the doing of unimaginative music critics who, instead of taking the time to evaluate each band on its own merits, decided to rehash the same things previous writers said, and praise only the Beatles, Stones, Who, and whomever else was being lauded at the time. I would say the Beatles were over-hyped, but not overrated. Even certain bands were praised just for some songs they recorded, but the rest of their bodies of work were overlooked. That isn't the fault of one band.

By: jamiewhatwhat. on 07 Oct 08, 03:35:52
you're missing my point. Dont get me wrong, im a big fan of the Beatles , but the older and wiser I get the more I realise that The Beatles are massively over-rated. Just because they were big on a large scale doesnt make their music ground breaking, a tag which they are often awarded. My point is that many bands produced music BEFORE the Beatles which was way ahead of its time and more ground breaking / trail blazing / creative than the beatles....

By: jum1801. on 26 Sep 08, 14:36:33
This is obviously at least a "dub assist" where the recording is blended into the performance to give some heft and depth to the sound. Looks more like an outright 100% lip synch where NONE of the live performance is heard over the airwaves. BTW, the middle break is the BEST part of the song, where they go into a traditional rock and roll boogie riff.

By: nickybadboy50. on 03 Oct 08, 00:30:20
The Yardbirds are an English rock band, noted for starting the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. A blues-based band whose sound evolved into experimental rock, they had a string of hits including For Your Love, Over, Under, Sideways, Down and Heart Full Of Soul. They were a crucial link between British R&B and psychedelia.The Yardbirds were pioneers in almost every guitar innovation of the 60s, 70s & to the music of today.

No...?!?...I don't think you understand...let me elaborate... Jimmy Page is revered as one of the sacred guitar greats of all time and to see him pluck on a bass came as a shock to me. I never knew in almost 30 years of guitar playing he ever did that. When I wrote that as being "blasphemous" I was just metaphorically expressing my surprise at seeing that, nothing else!

UK TV clip of the Yardbirds with Eric Clapton on lead guitar. The quality of the footage suggests that it *may* be an example of an early video recording. Either way, great Yardmerising from Keith Relf and the boys. Song by John Lee Hooker.

Thanks you for your description of Keith Relf, because I quite agree with you. Did you know him well? Tha'ts exactly the picture that I have acquired of him in these last months while doing a sort of research on his doings after he left the group with Mccarty. I knew the Ybirds when I was young but just superficially. In this period, I have discovered Keith's very underrated talent, his different music genres & song writing with the groups he formed after the Ybirds and was truly amazed.

By: rialcnis. on 23 Sep 08, 10:21:00
No doubt, Plant's style and voice was more of a popular sound then Relf's. Relf used his voice as another instrument in the sound, while Plant was more a conventional singer closer to a Stewert or Daltry crooner. Relf was an orator of few words. A cosmic hypnotist, looking directly into the eyes of the audience, scolding them to wake up. His singing/writing was biting. The message was intense, pure, piercing and accusing, not bombastic. Anti-luciferian not playing with seduction.

By: rialcnis. on 23 Sep 08, 09:47:08
re: Moody Blues. I love the "In Search of the Lost Chord" album particularly. Their melodic, orchesttral style definatly had it's place, although fairly conventional compared to the cutting edge more hard core psychedelia. They had a very broad audience of people who liked pop to those who were into the harder core music. They were great live.

The great things ...
By: KonradAdenauer. on 23 Sep 08, 09:12:58
The great things that people have said of the Yardbirds here are all correct. But I do think one of the problems they had was Relf's voice. He isn't a bad singer. But his singing is very flat, without much range, and not very "arresting." I can see why Plant would have caught Page's attention when he was trying to put together the New Yardbirds.

By: Ravenite1. on 22 Sep 08, 07:35:43
Yeah I totally understand, its amazing how youtube never fails to fuck up live peformances no matter what, I saw Tool on youtube and I remember thinking "God damn this band sucks live!" Then I went with a friend (reluctantly) to a live show and being completly blown away. I couldent get enough of them after that. So if youtube can do that to a live concert in the year of updated technology in this millenium then I can only imagine what it has done to the Yardbirds in the sixties

Also the Yardbirds ...
By: rialcnis. on 22 Sep 08, 07:33:26
Also the Yardbirds toured their entire existence. It was meager earnings. 3 messed up sets of manqagament. The meager few live recordings were either very early or like these german recordings right after Page took over from Beck and NO Beck stuff during their mid to late 1965-1966 prime, exists anywhere. and BBC recording or these german things with tiny amps dont cut it. Even the "Stoll On" from Blow Up film was gimped recording wise, compared to the real live sound.

Well...the problem ...
By: rialcnis. on 22 Sep 08, 07:20:08
Well...the problem with the Beatles is you couldn;t hear them over all the girls screaming....lol But it was exciting. I agree that NOTHING recording of the YBs live ob You tube or elsewhere does them justioe. It was a differnt time and the Yb's had bad luck with recordings. Take a listen to the Last Rave Up in LA I put the url for 1st 19 minutes below...its a "Tiny URL" to a windows media file. Listen on headphones carefully about 10 times and you will understand. Zep WAS Yardbirds.

By the way, I know ...

By: Ravenite1. on 22 Sep 08, 07:03:30
Look, im sure actually attending these concerts was completly different than the shitty youtube translation that we have here, and im not arguing that they were a tight hard working band, but watching this I can tell, and anybody who takes time to study music, can tell that the musicianship in Led Zeppelin FAR FAR surpasses what we have here. Listening to this, all I hear is an very undevolped version of what Led Zeppelin already accomplished

Lets put it this ...
By: rialcnis. on 22 Sep 08, 06:59:36
Lets put it this way. I saw EVERY show in LA and San Francisco of Yardbirds, Who, Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Byrds, Donovan, Cream, Hendrix, Zep, Doors, original Renaissance (and many others) from early 1965 till about 1974 when I got bored and in terms of psychedelic, cosmic, hard metal, ---"In the beginning there was the Yardbirds" The other cosmic/metalish I mentioned were esentially imitations who learned it all from The YB's.

Yardbirds whole ...
By: rialcnis. on 22 Sep 08, 06:37:07
Yardbirds whole sets live, going back to Beck in 1966 were EPIC LONG Improvisations, Page never mastered the multiple feedback streams and call response stuff with Relfs wafting harmonica. Plant only had his voice to use. THAT WAS as cosmic as you can get. Beck was wired for stereo and he'd have 3 feedback streams going with riffs on top answer Relf, Yardbirds invented it plain and simple. Without having seen it live you have no idea. I loved Zep too, but they come as number 2

I saw all these ...
By: rialcnis. on 22 Sep 08, 06:30:24
I saw all these groups many times.i saw Zeps first shows at Whisk a go go in LA. Good but very rough and certainly nowhere as good as the Yardbirds with Page. But understand the first Zep album came at a time when recording quality made a major jump and the first album captured a live sound. The Yardbirds had been railroaded into "singles." all along. Things changed in recording biz from singles to album almost overnight. And ya, Pink Floyd/Who sounded amateur at at the time live.

Zeppelin was Flash, ...
By: Ravenite1. on 22 Sep 08, 06:21:19
Zeppelin was Flash, not Pop commercial, nobody in the pop business had the balls to go on stage and peform a 35 minute song with extended improvisations. That was Led Zeppelin and they were damn good at what they did. And the Who just learning there instruments??! With all respects What about John Enwistle for cunts sake? Hes a god damn master on the bass, Pete Townsend may not have had the best Leads, but his rhythm playing was amazing. Maybe they were having a bad day when you saw them?

Page didn't officially go to lead from Bass till Beck quit, although they did do some dual guitar recordings, Happenings ten years time Ago, Stoll On, in the film Blow Up and Psycho Daisies All on You Tube. I saw them play in that line up before Beck quit at Catalina California, in the Avalon pavillion Aug 66. Everyone had to take the Great White Steamship to the Island. Best concert in history and apparently no one recorded it--because I've never found it anywhere.

By: deaddoc. on 13 Sep 08, 10:39:28
I feel like I'm cheating here. I was 13 when they "arrived in America" and I was a big fan. I happen to have collected up all the rarest vinyl over the years, including bootlegs, plus a book done on them. I even have a picture disc called Afternoon Tea where the members talk about the history of the band, done in the late '70s I think.

By: deaddoc. on 13 Sep 08, 10:32:42
A lot of band's made the Sound of the '60s, and no one can discount The Beatles. However, you are right in a way because most British produced pop songs featured a session guitarist named James Page - even Lulu!

You and I would ...
By: deaddoc. on 13 Sep 08, 10:30:28
You and I would have hung out. And you are right, The Yardbirds had all their significant hits because of Jeff Beck. Page come on too late and Clapton left too soon. However, Page did do two significan numbers with them - Happenings Ten Years Time Ago, which has been called the first truly psychedelic piece in rock and roll, and Little Games, which was Page's first cello bowed production. Both were also Page created riffs as well. Bad management killed the Yardbirds.

By: deaddoc. on 12 Sep 08, 21:53:25
That is true about Page coming on as the bass. However, Chris Dreja returned (Or Paul Samwell-Smith, I can't recall right now, but I have a book on them) and so Page went to guitar and he and Beck did double leads for a short time. The movie "Blow Up" features them both on lead and there are (or were) a few bootlegs around (I still have the vinyl) where a few recorded double leads were done. Then Jeff checked out & came up with Rod Stewart and Truth just after Page and company produced LZ 1.

By: deaddoc. on 12 Sep 08, 18:23:57
Not so sure about that, here's why; Page, Boham and J P Jones were session musicians who were together on a lot of British rock in that period. A great example is Donavan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man." Find it and you will hear Led Zeppelin without Plant. It's really great too. That is Page on this video. For a short time, both Page and Beck did some recording and live performances. Find a copy of the movie "Blow Up." See them perform live in that film.

I'm old enough to remember this clip when it first broadcast on Shindig. Some of us knew how great Jeff Beck was even then...we always looked forward to the next Yardbirds record. FYI, that's Paul Samwell-Smith on bass. when he left the band to concentrate on record producing (Cat Stevens, etc.), Jimmy Page was recruited to briefly play bass. He soon swiched instruments with guitarist Chris Dreja, thus the classic twin guitar attack of childhood friends Page and Beck exploded upon the world.

By: panzerschnott. on 11 Oct 08, 09:29:57
Yes, the key word here is Controlled feedback. Electric guitars have been feeding back since the day they were invented. Mainly because they were hollow body guitars, but the feedback was unwanted. That's why Les Paul came up with the solid body guitar, so it wouldn't feedback. So Jeff started doing it on purpose and everybody picked up on it.

By: Hoyle00cdn. on 12 Apr 08, 08:11:51
The problem with the controversy that surrounds this song has always appeared rather trivial. If Page had been modest enough to actually source the original arrangement of this song this discussion wouldn't even be an issue; just like how no one talks about Bob Dylan with Jimi's "All along the Watchtower", or JJ Cale with Clapton's "Cocaine". The controversy has more to do with paper work, then music creativity.

By: Yardbird68. on 04 Apr 08, 10:50:58
Not true. The Yardbirds used Holmes original title Dazed and Confused from the get go. The confusion on the name is only because Epic mistitled the song, just like Epic mispelled Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja's name on their on Rave up & Overunder... record label. On every live performance that I have from the Yardbirds where they play this song Keith Relf always introduces the song as Dazed & Confused. And never I'm Confused.

By: Yardbird68. on 03 Apr 08, 19:12:40
The Yardbirds NEVER called it "I'm Confused", Epic record made the mistake on the 1971(?) album Live Yardbirds Featuring J Page. I have about 6 live recordings of the Yardbirds from 68 and in every case Relf introduces the song as "Dazed and Confused".

Yardbirds were great, but on these versions, IMO they are rushing, and the timekeeping by the musicians is all over the place.

Best thing about Yardbirds is that Jim and Chris are now earning decent money and that they get the respect and recognition from todays' musicians.

Which leads me to this point. It can get quite delusional reading the "great" and "god" quotes associated with all the artists of the day. The music was excellent sure, but these were just men in the right place at the right time. Again enjoy the music for what it is. Hopefully these record execs will find someone else to pilfer and present it to the public because the stuff they're giving us today can only be classified as "Dog Shit"

By: mlmr11. on 28 Dec 07, 05:07:30
Page and the rest of them are the front men for the theft. The record companies were taking advantage of the copyright laws pilfering all the soul artists of their music. Once they stole it all the decided they would change the laws in '77 so it couldn't be stolen back. lol There's nothing new under the sun folks. LMAO Just enjoy the music for what it is.

By: STPfuzzDemon. on 20 Nov 07, 03:31:23
Yeah, but Page first did it with the Yardbirds. Plant's vocals were pretty annoying a times, too though,(The "Song Remains the Same" movie has some awful moments) trying to sound like Janis Joplin or something (baby! baby!, etc. etc.)

Holmes' version ...
By: STPfuzzDemon. on 20 Nov 07, 03:29:22
Holmes' version wasn't a piece of shit, it was just more of a folk song and for the record I personally dig the Yardbird's version on the "Live at the Anderson Theatre" album slightly better than Zeppelin's. (don't compare it to the one on youtube, it is off a German t.v. show months and months earlier, as the band got heavier and heavier by the month in the final stages).
