best bongos ever in a rock song!!!!!

[@hmrueggi6420]

Eric Clapton played the guitar and he found, like Harrie, that this song sounded like the Beatles, and therefore he quit the Yardbirds, which had been founded as a blues group, and went to John Mayall to play blues again ...

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thats the beauty of music..we can hear different things.Some here in the comment section say they cant hear The Beatles.But i do.😀

[@damonhines8187]

@@HarriBestReactions this was written by Graham Gouldman, later - much - of 10cc, at age 18 in '64, and was indeed inspired by the Beatles. Mostly singer Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, a bowed bass, bongos and organist Brian Auger on harpsichord, which he thought a ridiculous inclusion on a pop record. Guitarists Chris Dreja and Eric Clapton only played on the change-up section, and Clapton left soon afterward, unwilling to sacrifice his integrity and love of blues for attempted pop success. Good ear, btw, m8! 👍😘🎶🎤🎹🎸🔥

Classic First British Invasion music. Dave Clark Five is another from this era you would likely enjoy.

[@praisethegourd3618]

This song was written for them by Graham Gouldman, who originally was going to sell it to the Beatles, but decided on the Yardbirds instead. That might contribute to why it sounds like the Beatles.

It was all "Garage Band" back then. Music simple enough for kids to get instruments and a band together and play in a garage....and they did!

[@loadedorygun]

This is the early bridge to the last half of the 60s. In the US it was the Byrds and the Buffalo Springfield who distilled folk and rock and incorporated the new ways you could use pop music, that the Beatles opened the door to. In England it was the Yardbirds. I think that’s either a clavichord or a harpsichord, two classical non electrified pianos that were subsequently incorporated into electronic keyboards. That sound in the chorus, the da-da-da-da-da-da-da on the keyboard, is one of the foundations of what came to be known as garage rock or underground rock. You might even call it the tiniest seed of the punk movement that borrowed much from the garage scene in terms of musical ethics.

[@loadedorygun]

Someone below mentions the Zombies and IMO that’s an excellent comparison. Zombies are still going, too!

[@An_Cat_Dubh]

More great tracks: Yardbirds psychedelia: Happenings Ten Years Time Ago, Shapes of Things, Over Under Sideways Down, Puzzles, Only The Black Rose, Evil Hearted You, Little Games. Yardbirds Blues Rock - Train Kept A - Rollin', I'm Not Talking, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, I Wish You Would

[@Paul-tk2my]

Brian Auger’s harpsichord playing on this gives it a ‘Gothic’ influence. For me, the first psychedelic single in the UK

[@jimsealy9489]

[@The5thGen]

The Yardbirds. Another great band with a history that must be reviewed.

[@oliveramilicevic1669]

That group could boast that three great guitarists of all time spent some time in : Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck.

[@anneschreck5136]

It's one of the bands that spawned so many of the greatest rock groups of all time, with those three.

[@Sarvasaha]

[@michaelmolloy6697]

British Invasion group. Thanks Harri!! 😎

[@TheSchuyler75]

👍👍🙏🦋✌🏻

[@laminage]

Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton's legacy still continues. Jimmy as you know was the Co Founder of Led Zeppelin, and Jeff Beck would later form his own Group with Rod Stewart & Ron Wood, when they broke up Ron & Rod joined The Small Faces then The Faces and when Maggie Mae became a hit, Rod left and Ron joined The Rolling Stones in 1975. Sadly enough Keith Relf died of a Electrical Shock. Also after The Beatles, so many Young Men in England wanted to be A Rock Star. Yet what I admire about UK Groups is the fact that they were very "Open" about their love for US Blues Music.

[@davidmckenzie420]

This song and "Heart Full of Soul" were my favorites from this great 60's group. So glad Page decided to create the "New Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin.

[@alabhaois]

“Mister, You’re a Better Man Than I” is a fantastic song. 😎

I'm surprised too at times..But when i really think about it,its understandable.The radio stations,clubs..friends you frequent, determines a lot the music you listen to.I was heavily into Funk,soul,r and b..jazz,reggae and African music..I did listen to a lot of pop and some rock tunes that crossed over as well..but the stuff i mentioned first was my main gig 😀✌🏾

[@lynnlafever1810]

The Yardbirds was a British group, formed in 1963. They didn't really follow on the coattails of the Beatles, they were contemporaries, and I'm sure they borrowed from each other. They were the root of many great banger groups, with early Eric Clapton formed Cream, Jimmy Page (formed Led Zeppelin & did many covers of of Yardbirds), Jeff Beck the world's greatest studio musician,' has worked with EVERYBODY, and hated by many: Richie Blackmore formed Deep Purple and then Rainbow. Yardbirds "Heartful Soul" , "I'm a Man" 1964(harmonica is dominant), "Train Keep a Rollin"(Aerosmith did famous cover!) and "Shapes of Things" would be great songs to react to, super cool early rock!!! Your fans will love these deep dives!

[@mikecaetano]

A few noteworthy songs by The Yardbirds that others overlooked are "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", "Evil Hearted You", "I'm a Man", "You're a Better Man Than I", and "The Train Kept A-Rollin'". On a related note, one of the hits Jimmy Page played on before joining The Yardbirds was "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan. Page also backed up Donovan after The Yardbirds fell apart and while he was forming Led Zeppelin. Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" from 1968 features Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham from a not yet formed Led Zeppelin. Bonham's drumming on that song is unmistakable.

[@John_Chu]

Harri, this sounds more like The Zombies than the Beatles. To my ears anyway.

Great song, great band

[@majicflute9]

The "British Invasion" bands of musical talent that hit the airwaves were similar in style, sound, and musical culture and they fed off each other to write songs that appealed to the younger generation nurtured on the 50s Rock from the US. That is why they had the sound they did, like one another, because there shared their influence.

[@SincityRocker60]

I'm a kid from 1960, Jeff Beck was my hero. Jimmy Page

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

This song was released in 1964 right around the time shortly after The Beatles came out. People were definitely emulating their style both in appearance and music.

[@dsusan17]

It doesn't remind me of the Beatles. It is very 60s. Great pick and reaction Harri!

[@stephenulmer3781]

Great song Harri! Another good one by The Yardbirds is "Over Under Sideways Down" 😀 Poor 60s British bands, every reaction channel says they reminds them of The Beatles. Doesnt seem to matter if its The Animals, The Kinks, Tom Jones whoever it is always compares just about any and all 60s British artists to The Beatles 😢

[@HarriBestReactions]

I think its cos The Beatles pretty did every kind of music.You hear them in eveerything

[@stephenulmer3781]

@@HarriBestReactions yes. The Beatles were/are a huge influence on everyone else 😀

[@An_Cat_Dubh]

For better or worse, so many of these bands were started because they heard the early Beatles singles and wanted to play that kind of Rock and Roll. This was the case in both North America and Britain. It's a common story in interviews - "I heard the (fill in the blank) Beatles song on the radio and thought, that's a good way to make a living!"

[@donaldmoon]

Over Under Sideways Down is an excellent example of the Yardbirds' pop music output. Keeping in mind that they were strongly divided between pop music & the blues. I think that's the reason for the coming & going of a number of great guitarists. And don't forget Jeff Beck! --don, mphs

[@braudabo]

@@An_Cat_Dubh Not only in North America and Britain. It was worldwide, wherever rock / pop was the dominant style of music.

[@tomnunamaker9801]

Clapton was on this recording and it does sound like the Beatles and that is reason Clapton left the band. They tried to get Jimmy Page but he was happy with the session work he was doing so he referred the Yardbirds to his friend Jeff Beck. About a year later, the bassist quit and Page needed out of the session biz so he joined as the bassist. Beck got kicked out for being very erratic (drug induced) and page took over in mid '67 as on guitar. The Yardbirds fell apart for good in the summer of '68 and somehow Page got stuck with the remaining gigs the band had under contract. So he got a band together and did those gigs, I think they were in Scandanavia somewhere, as the New Yardbirds. He and his band then came to the US and did some gigs billed as "A New Band from England". He was going to use New Yardbirds as the name of his band but Keith Moon of the Who thought it would be a fun name for a band. Page then changed the name of the band to Led (spelled like this because he thought us dumb Americans would pronounce Lead as leed, and he's probably right, so he dropped the "a") Zeppelin and the rest is history.

[@usmadgirl3074]

The music does sound like the Beatles & after all these years, you just now made me notice it!

[@ajruther67]

Hi Harri! This is my favorite song by The Yardbirds.

[@markvicferrer]

My dad listened to a lot of British Invasion bands, & this is the one of those lost songs that I knew but didn't know the artist or title. Thankfully their greater hits anniversary album came out a few years ago & he played it for me.

[@neilphelan145]

I can't understand why so many people want to or insist on comparing one group to another. Why can't you folks just concentrate on what is being presented instead 9f being distracted by so much comparing. Comparing the Yardbirds to the Beatles is like comparing apples to oranges. They're both fruit but other that that they're not even close to being similar.

[@anneschreck5136]

The Yardbirds formed in 1963 about three years after The Beatles, but I personally think they're far more Blues influenced than the early Beatles. The album came at right about the time Clapton left the band and he had a limited role playing in it near the middle of the song.

[@debbiechang5781]

Very little similarity to the Beatles IMHO! 🌺✌️

[@kentclark6420]

Does this song remind anyone of the Moody Blues song 'Gypsy'?

[@1234gab4]

Yeah verses of both songs have the same chord progression and are in the same key. Em, G, A, Am

[@jeffputnam3582]

When I saw The Yardbirds in America at basically a teen dance, Jeff Beck had left the band during the ill-conceived winter tour; so Jimmy Page picked up lead guitar and Chris Dreja went from rhythm guitar to bass. That gave us the chance to hear some early Led Zeppelin guitar work by Page, so everything turned out rather nicely. Also, it was necessary filler because lead singer Keith Relf had a really nasty throat infection and could barely sing. Keith did play a ton of blues harp though!

[@melodymcdonald2140]

There was a TV series back in the late 90s called For Your Love and they used this song as the opening theme. Michael McDonald and Chaka Khan did that version and it was pretty good. There's a video on YT of it.

[@clemdane]

You need to watch the movie Blow Up anyway (!) but you should check out the scene from Blow Up where the Yardbirds are playing in a club that the main character visits - it's on KZbin. They're singing the song "Stroll On" Ps. Both Jimi Page and Jeff Beck are playing live in it!

[@robertsoden5068]

Eric had an instrumental on the B Side, Got To Hurry. But still he hurried off to John Mayall ! For Your Love was written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc when the Yardbirds wanted a more poppy influence to get a hit. Try more hard core with Jeff Beck in the band, like Shapes of Things or Mister You're a Better Man Than I.

[@TheSchuyler75]

The Zombies “She’s Not There” kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWPLiXWcZqmUoac

[@jeffmartin1026]

Ah yes, the British Invasion - perhaps not as much The Beatles but the overall style/production level of 1964 - 1965. Songs were generally well rehearsed and recorded live in just a few takes. Keep in mind that people like Eric, Jeff & Jimmy were not "Superstars" quite yet, just another good studio/band player honing their own style. At this point in time Jimi Hendrix was in the back up band for Little Richard and then Curtis Knight and the Squires before he moved to England and formed The Experience in 1966. Carry On!!

[@erikjohnson3434]

Should listen to the Humble Pie version of this song, totally different and very good

[@realjaxon]

This band is Pre-Led Zeppelin for Jimmy Page, I'm sure you know. Yes, you're right, everyone was influenced by The Beatles at that time.

[@stephenbarrass7496]

Great again Harry, I think you are confusing the "Beatles" sound with the 60's British Pop sound. The Greatest guitarist (in my opinion) and the one playing lead here is Jeff Beck. a man that even Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton acknowledge as a great.

[@braudabo]

Classic "British Invasion" song. The Yardbirds were probably the instrumental most skilled band of their time, but commercially failed in the end because of the rather less charismatic lead singer Keith Relf compared to Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Roger Daltrey, Eric Burdon etc.
