I first heard ‘Rumble’ way back in 1958 as a ‘Baby Boomer’ lucky enough to have been born in time to be weaned on Rock’n’Roll as it swept in from the USA in the mid-Fifties. I used to spend hours sat next to the jukebox at a Southampton town centre ‘Milk Bar’ (coffee bar) I knew all the words of the latest hits as the older kids put their money in, asking me what would I like to hear. Later that same year I was singing some of these same tracks at local teen dances which led to my lifelong career in show-business. (Google david st john comedian) ‘Rumble’ blew me away and many of us know how it inspired many a future guitar superstar, including Jeff Beck. Incredible basic 3 chord track with distorted guitar through damaged speakers plus echo and other effects - way ahead if its time. Better still was hearing it played at high volume on the visiting funfair rides with the flashing light displays that racked up the excitement. It took a few years before the Kinks issued their first 45 which hit the no.1 spot in 1964. The opening riff on ‘You Really Got Me’ is often cited as the first ‘heavy metal’ riff with its power chords that ‘Link’ back to ‘Rumble’ (Nice pun?) My pop group days kicked off in 1964 as I sang with several Hampshire-based line-ups before going solo in the early Seventies with a change of direction. If you Google ‘david st john comedian’ then you can also read loads of webpages highlighting the early pop and beat groups. The 2020 UK lockdown gave me time to write my second book which tells of the first part of my long career - still at it! If you love reading about that golden era then take a look at ‘Southern Roots Part 1 - A Rock’n’Roll Story 1958-1972 via Amazon Books. You can read a few preview pages. This excerpt pays homage to this forward thinking talent that many of us know about. “ Early in the same year of 1958, I heard another amazing ’45 recording of ‘Rumble’ by the American guitarist Link Wray. This innovative musician was experimenting with his own unique sound by damaging his speakers that distorted the sound - a forerunner of the later Sixties artistes such as Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and many more virtuosos, albeit by the use of new sound foot pedals, named ‘Wah-Wah’ and ‘Fuzzbox’ etc. Wray suffered a backlash back in the USA, as many radio stations refused to play the record, with its ‘menacing’ sound and title that also referred to street gang fights, or juvenile delinquency!

Thanks so much for posting this … great editing. It looks amazing … loved the angles you took. I was at Manchester and been looking forward to listening to Birmingham. Great pieces from Jeff Beck and the band as well as Johnny 👍🎵

@@barryevans6757 no’ I’m not!! I’m serious. It took me all day to edit one 4 minute song ( the finale encore) on Sunday … to put on Facebook. By the time I’d done it I found lots on KZbin… which I’m very happy to find. Like yours.

@@susankirkland3852 I'm a big fan of the film a whole song (or 2, or 3, or 4) and post it approach; 15 to 20 seconds cuts feel frustrating; fortunately most folks seem to adopt the technique that I appreciate;

[@barryevans6757]

But I guess we'd both agree that this partnership of Beck and Depp is really interesting and enjoyable; I'm really looking forward to the album coming up.....glad you made it to concert;, lucky you;

The Song Jeff did at the start , is my dads Rumble by Link Wray. Thanks for posting this 😊

[@davidthelimey]

Wow- this inspired Jeff and many more guitar greats! I even wrote about in my book as it knocked me out as kid in the 50s!! Link was a genius and innovator...please message me? [e-mail]

[@CharlesandElsafan]

That was one of my favourite numbers of the whole evening. You should be very proud of your dad btw 🙂

[@davidthelimey]

@@CharlesandElsafan Me too! It took me way back to 58 when 'Rumble' blew my young mind! It was a kind of musical sci-fi - like nothing else
