[@jeffreyjohnson7359]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the only song to ever combine harpsichord and bongos

[@mattjohn4731]

I'm doubtful but I like the comment

[@generoberts9151]

Isn’t that a Mellotron?

[@gregsager2062]

@@generoberts9151 Nope. Harpischord. The gimmick is that a harpsichord has no innate audible sustain like a piano, and they wanted to make the harpsichord sustain. With some clever miking by the studio engineer, they were able to get the sustain.

[@alanmusicman3385]

I'm pretty sure that the 1960s UK Band Nirvana ("Tiny Goddess", "Pentecost Hotel") did some album tracks which featured that combination. In those days - as in "For Your Love" - they got the harpsichord sound by double speeding a piano.

[@shellilawler1334]

I wouldn't put it past the Beatles

[@iznot2]

It's tough to rate a 1965 song in 2022. In 65 this was a new different song that planted the seed of the music that followed. We should always remember that in 2022 we can look back in listen to 100 years of recordings. In 1965 we didn't have the luxury of 100 years of recorded sound. It amazes me to think about what great sounds that we will never know about simply because of the technology ewasnt there to capture it. We are fortunate to have, listen to and judge the wealth of recorded music available to us.

[@RJ-nz5jn]

Agree wholeheartedly.

[@brendanjones3816]

Yeah, but this isn't even as good as a replacement-level Buddy Holly song.

One of the great moments of a guitarist stepping into the limelight is that startling instant when Jeff Beck launches his solo in the Yardbirds’ “Shapes of Things.”

You are so right with that song, thanks for the reminder! Going back to dive into more Yardbirds to find what else I forgot.

[@chuckmeyers1153]

@@gregsager2062 JB is and has been my favorite guitarist forever although admittedly not all of his work is accessible to me. I was an EC fan and saw him and JB many times but never cared for Page. I love that JB is/was innovative, still challenges himself, and never kowtowed to trendiness or styles. Lastly, he has always been generous with helping others in the studio. Perhaps least well known, he was in the studio with Stevie Wonder and was playing drums when they hit upon the riff for Superstition.

[@michaelnorris7353]

When this tune came out it had a sound that was really quite different from a lot of stuff on the radio at that time. It really caught the attention of everyone who heard it so that you could sing along with it pretty much after hearing it the first time. A+ all the way.

[@gregsager2062]

It was the harpsichord-and-bongos combination, which is a pretty unique pairing of instruments. I dare you to find another song by anyone, anywhere that pairs up harpsichord and bongos. ;-)

[@markbender7692]

Another song written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc just like For your Love

[@tombombara]

Written by Graham Gouldman who later was part of 10cc. I think the comments are rather out of context, but at the same time, this is the type of pop song that caused Clapton to quit the group and join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Either way, one of the most important groups of all time.

[@garymaidman625]

And of course this band would eventually become Led Zeppelin.

[@johnhughes3214]

Happy Friday, guys! Recorded at almost the exact midpoint of the decade (1/2/1965), this is a quintessential 60s rock song to me. It's also another song and another band with Clapton on guitar. However, he didn't like the commercial direction of the song and decided to leave the band as a result. Fortunately, this paved the way for him to join John Mayall's band, though for only one album, the legendary "John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton," which propelled him to guitar God status in Britain. This led to the famous London wall graffiti "Clapton is God." Would strongly recommend you check out "All Your Love" from this album. S-tier all the way.

[@gregsager2062]

Even more fortunately, this paved the way for Jeff Beck to replace him as the lead guitarist of the Yardbirds. Clapton was a 100% blues purist at the time that the Yardbirds recorded and released "For Your Love" over his protests. I think that playing with Mayall got the blues purism out of his system, since he was more than willing to work his blues influences into pop music structures when he co-founded Cream.

[@jimcole9751]

Clapton, Beck ,Page I don't think they're worried about The Beatles....

[@jessimae7540]

Eric Clapton left the band after this. He didn't approve of the switch to pop from their blues beginnings. Love this tune! You guys should definitely check out some Grass Roots!

[@actuariallurker9650]

Gentlemen: When we did the poll building I was pushing for Over Under Sideways Down as the first intro to The YardBirds. Still think you should do that next along with Shapes Of Things To Come, and also Jeff Beck's "Becks' Bolero" since it is basically Led Zeppelin with Keith Moon on Drums: Dual lead guitar Beck and Page, Bass: JP Jones, Drums: Moon

[@blktauna]

Over Under Sideways Down is my fave Yardbirds tune.

[@gregsager2062]

It's just called "Shapes of Things". "Shape of Things to Come" is a different song altogether; it was a 1968 single by a fictional band called Max Frost & the Troopers for the film *Wild in the Streets* .

[@elfinmagic4022]

You did poll builiding? I thought they picked. So someone else is picking their music?

[@actuariallurker9650]

@@elfinmagic4022 If you are a patron member and join the discord server then Andy will open up a chat room about once a week and ask for members to suggest songs for a theme he picks.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@actuariallurker9650 Thanks for explaining how things work. I wondered how they choose. How about suggesting some Small Faces next time they do a 60's poll. Such an influential early band ie: "You Need Lovin" which was the inspiration for "Whole Lotta Love" . Would appreciate it 🙂

[@mandarinlearner]

Harpsichord and bongo drums, such a unique combination but it worked beautifully

Great oldie and driving beat! Yardbirds have a history of some great artists in their band. Thanks so much for posting this one guys, love your reaction - always keeping it honest😊🧡

[@otisdylan9532]

Eric Clapton was still with them on this song. I recommend that your next Yardbirds song be one that they did after Jeff Beck replaced Clapton - either "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", or "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago". "Heart Full of Soul" is my favorite Yardbirds song and one where they still have something of a British Invasion sound; the other 2 are more psychedelic. You should hear all 3 eventually. I'm glad that you're checking out the Yardbirds.

"Heart Full of Soul" is also my favorite. I will never forget watching them on Shindig singing it in 1965. They were much cooler than the Beatles in my opinion. Not knocking the Beatles by stating that. The Yardbirds were just different.

[@actuariallurker9650]

I bet they gave it an A or A+. They should do Over Under Sideways Down next for the S

I was just about to type that song, Over Under Sideways Down. It's way better than For Your Love. Also they did not mention Beck, Page or Clapton, all of which did a stint in the YB

[@actorcontact]

No big surprise - 95% of the songs receive an A rating or S rating, but still love this channel!

[@gregsager2062]

I think they'd be more impressed by "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", "Mister, You're a Better Man Than I", or "Shapes of Things". The "Shapes" guitar solo could be their gateway drug into the world of Jeff Beck.

[@dannycasson1551]

I my opinion, that break in the middle is genius. The fact that they don't come back to it makes it even better. The song as a whole is a classic. My only complaint would be that its too short!

[@davidbeaver9990]

The story is that Brian Auger, the keyboardist session guy was looking for a Hammond B3 organ in the studio, and saw something in the corner which turned out to be the harpsichord you hear throughout the song.

[@bws1971]

So much to unpack here... The Yardbirds are early breakthrough legit rock. And they're the origins of the whole Page-Beck-Clapton thing. It's a seminal band, and their songs are insanely innovative for the time

[@haroldskinner5914]

That is not an organ in the song; it is a harpsichord. Also the members of The Yardbirds did not write the song. It was written by a guy named Graham Gouldman who also wrote their next hit - Heart Full of Soul - as well as another song that was on your poll, Bus Stop by The Hollies. Gouldman was later in a 70s band called 10cc which had some major success, primarily in the UK. In fact if you did a "70s Britpop" poll, a likely winner would be I'm Not in Love, 10cc's biggest hit.

So - "Yardbird" was the nickname of the most important saxophonist who has ever lived, Charlie Parker. Relf and Dreja named their band after him because in the 1960s everyone still knew his name instantly, though today only jazz snobs would be familiar.

[@kevinmauch5622]

The Yardbirds was my first concert in December of '66. Jimmy Page was already starting to bring a Zeppelin vibe.

[@incredulousdisbelief9841]

What a progression. Clapton and Jeff Beck, then after Clapton leaves - Jimmy Page, then after the band breaks up Page forms the NEW Yardbirds - who we all know by a different name.

[@hankamania]

Interesting that Beck's on the 45 sleeve. I was about to look up the timeline of Eric's departure vs the release of this single. This was written by Graham Gouldman, who had his own band The Mockingbirds. He also wrote Heart Full Of Soul for the Yardbirds, and other songs for the Hollies (Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window) and Herman's Hermits (No Milk Today), He'd later form 10cc (I'm Not In Love, The Things We Do For Love) in the '70s, and Wax (Right Between The Eyes, Bridge To Your Heart) in the '80s. Seriously one of the best songwriters of the Rock era.

[@itsobvious2]

You have to hit "Heart Full Of Soul", "Smokestack Lightning: ( 5 alive Yardbirds version), "Shapes Of Things", "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" (features Beck & Page on guitars)

[@mark-be9mq]

Agree with all. And maybe do Rush's cover of "Heart Full of Soul", and "Shapes..." to compare .

Plus "Evil-Hearted You", "Over Under Sideways Down", "Mister, You're a Better Man Than I", and "Goodnight Sweet Josephine".

[@scottengerson1130]

Interestingly, this is the song that supposedly led Claptin to leave the band. He didn't like the 'Pop' direction they were headed in. He joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers right from there, and made what i think is his greatest work, with them.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

And Mayall's still dropping albums in his late 80s.

[@bobholtzmann]

The opening riff was played by Brian Auger, at the producer's request. I saw an interview of Brian talking about him being led to the corner of the studio, where the harpsichord stood, and how he had to improvise an arpeggio to tie together the song, which was fated to become a big hit.

[@mrgordons]

For your love was penned by Graham Gouldman, English singer, songwriter, and musician (bassist of the art rock band 10cc).

No, I think the person said The La's sound like a 90s version of The Byrds, not the Yardbirds. The Byrds created a jangly guitar sound that influenced many 80 and 90s bands. The Yardbirds were also very influential but with more of a psychedelic mixed with R&B style. And today they're known more as a launching pad for Clapton, Beck and Page. Both bands were hugely popular in the mid 60s.

[@johndrx165]

Our band did a cover of this song. I did a little punk style vamp on the 3 chord part where they use the harpsichord after the break (on bass) and it was more rocked out. Fun song.

[@dagmar.6954]

The Yardbirds are one of the great early English rock bands from the 60's. The band is known for starting the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds had a lot of great hits including "Heart Full Of Soul", "Shapes Of Things", "Over Under Sideways Down", "I'm A Man", "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", "Train Kept A-Rollin'", "I Ain't Got You" etc.

Ah the 60's they had some huge hits.

Glad to See Future Generations Appreciating

Written by Graham Gouldman (10cc). He also wrote Heart Full of Soul (Yardbirds), Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window (Hollies)

Great band, great song. Clapton, Beck, and Page played with them at some time or another. Graham Gouldman wrote the song at the age of 18 back when he was playing with the semi-professional Manchester band the Mockingbirds. It was released in 65, it was their 1st top ten hit in UK and US. Fleetwood Mac issued this song as a single in 73.

There's a British movie which has a scene in it that features the yard birds with both Paige and beck that is a must see it was done in one take with beck playing lead that was way ahead of its time ,then smashing the set to pieces while Paige just keeps on jamming away

[@bobrob2004]

If I remember the story correctly, they wanted the Who in the movie, as they were known for smashing their instruments. But when they declined, they got the Yardbirds instead.

Blow Up

[@clannad99germany70]

Saw them later as an oldie band 3 times in Germany, the only original member then were the rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja and the original drummer James McCarty. This was in the 90ies and then again in 2002.

The first supergroup.

Loved this song as a 13 year old...Still good...And now I'm a life-long Led Zep fan.

[@badsherman1193]

Once Beck left, Page took over, and you can hear the Led Zep sound starting to emerge with "No Excess Baggage", "Think About It" (which features the note-for-note solo Page would later use in "Dazed and Confused") and "White Mountain" (same tune as on Led Zep 1). With Page as the main guitarist, they recorded one official album, Little Games (1967) which contains those songs plus many other guitar-bending psychedelic and proto-Zep turnes (some featuring John Paul Jones). Definitely worth a listen on Patreon. Even cooler (but rarer album) is Five Live Yardbirds (1968), a concert recording which includes the original version of "Dazed and Confused", titled simply "I'm Confused". As the original members began to peel off, Page added Jones, then Plant and Bonham, initially touring as The New Yardbirds before eventuallly changing their name.

[@daviddragavon7555]

Try "Heart full of Soul" just for the fun of it. Also they did a version of DAZED and Confused. Paige, Beck and Clapton we're all in the band (not at the same time)...but indeed, they were post graduate work for guitar gods.

[@shemanic1]

" Under Sideways Down" or "Heart Full of Soul" are my most played Yardbirds tunes. More grit & quite grungy.

[@christinegilbert1078]

I know this story will sound unreal, but we went to see the Yardbirds at a small venue about six years ago and one of the band members turned out to be an old friend of my husband’s. Pretty surreal.

[@GorgonTheHybrid]

You guys are fucking high. All good and NO bad. Transitions were awesome. One of the best songs ever.

[@davidrold9770]

Heart Full of Soul, Over Under Sideways Down, Smokestack Lightning, I Ain't Got You, The Train Kept A Rollin', Shapes of Things Any of these would be cool
