Jeff Beck was in this band. He just died last week! So was Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, so was Eric Clapton! ❤

[@StephanieHettinger-si9ur]

Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were best friends since the age of 11. At Beck's funeral MASS,Page was the one to give Beck's eulogy. British and American rock royalty were there. Jimmy Page was in tears.He told some funny stories about them off the job.And wah many people don't know is that Jeff Beck was an expert mechanic and body and paint dude. He was also a very funny and witty guy.There are many pics of them hanging out together,and Page would be doubled over in stitches over something that Beck said. I read many interviews over the years,and the guy was a stitch!!. R.I.P. Good man and musical genius

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul" and "Shapes Of Things" !!

And “Shapes…” from the Truth, album, The Jeff Beck Group.

[@terenzo50]

Early psychedelia. Jeff Beck plays the riff on one string. Their next single was solid psychedelia -- Happenings Ten Years Time Ago with duo-lead guitar as Beck was joined by Jimmy Page.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Little Games has some great stuff on it. Yardbirds finally stopped sounding like a tryhard pop group.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@TheKitchenerLeslie this song came from Roger The Engineer, the album before Little Games, it has psychedelic songs, proto hard and some pop in it, the same as Little Games, I don't know what the hell you're talking about 🤦 this is the highest reach The Yardbirds achieved, second to none, except maybe The Beatles, who by the way, were as pop as you can get... were The Beatles that bad? 🤦🤦 people talking, talk talk... that's a fantastic Music Machine song, by the way

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

@@JulioLeonFandinho You're comparing The Beatles and the Yardbirds? Gee, I wonder why nobody remembers the Yardbirds... even though they had Page, Clapton and Beck? Yardbirds was a B-grade band that lucked out in having up and coming guitarists who went onto something... their songs were mostly Mickie Most garbage.

The Yardbirds influenced everyone because of their great songs and who came through that band, they are their own Hall of Fame. Try Train Kept a Rolling from both them and Aerosmith, it is a classic banger of a song. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

So much talent in one band! ✌️❤️

[@megA_t.6532]

The photos of the band showed the last incarnation of the band when Paul Samwell-Smith left the band and Jeff brought Jimmy Page into the fold on bass and then guitar. Couple years later the band quit and Jimmy acquired the name rights of Yardbirds (long story short) and hired a new band and Led Zeppelin was born.

[@megA_t.6532]

PS Jeff Beck went on to greatness with the Jeff Beck Group, Bogart, Beck and Appice, and all the other collaberations and He's a member of the guitar God trinity, including Clapton and Page!

[@charleslatora5750]

Rock. Pure n simple... ain't country

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

LOVE the Yardbirds. So innovative for early 60's. Jeff Beck on guitar here, I believe.

[@JazzDrummer1946]

In Oct '68, I went to see The Yardbirds (The NEW Yardbirds, actually). A few months later, they would change the name and change rock music forever. Keith Moon (The Who) is credited with inspiring the name. He supposedly said, "You'll go over like a lead balloon." Led Zeppelin did a fair bit more than "go over."

[@vicprovost2561]

I envy you, being their just as they got started. I was only 13 and had to settle for the radio then the 1st album. Great time to be alive!

[@JazzDrummer1946]

@@vicprovost2561 Here's the thing I left out. I wasn't all that impressed with this version of The Yardbirds. I was huge fan of Andy Mitchell and this "new" singer didn't "do it" for me. I would later come around, as LZ became my favorite band. As a drummer myself, I was amazed by the drummer (duh!). I would, years later be there as another great band, Iron Maiden got their start. I saw them at The Cart + Horses pub (then located in Stratford) in 1975. They were the new house band. Very loud. It was also at the C+H, where I played (and lost) a game of snooker to the late, great Steve Marriott of Humble Pie. Ah, the memories.

[@sporkfindus4777]

Jeff Beck sounded like Jeff Beck then and he still did just before his passing. Despite different guitar, amp, modest effects, pick/no pick, recording techniques and a ton of different playing techniques in his arsenal. The greatest of all time. No contest. His playing in The Tridents before The Yardbirds was monster, crazy, big, groundbreaking, like in 1963!

[@williamweiss6128]

As I remember back then, they were experimenting within all the pop and british sound. Unusual. I liked them.

[@mikehawk99]

I don’t see many KZbin reaction channels reacting to the Yardbirds but if anyone were to do it, it would definitely be you guys! Great stuff

[@tedszweb5268]

Yardbirds the most underrated Band after The Animals !!!😀

[@dccorallo]

Trippy old tune

[@batmanforpresident9655]

The Yardbirds were one of the first "supergroups", featuring Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. They were the precursor to Led Zeppelin and one of the most influential groups in history. Their best hits include: "Heart Full l Of Soul", "Shape Of Things", "For Your Love", and "I'm A Man".

[@surlechapeau]

Eric Clapton left the band before Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck joined. Clapton recommended Page to the band, and Page brought in Beck.

[@roydownes2458]

roflmao. i cant imagine ANYBODY line or square dancing to the yardbirds. :p :) brad is right about the second line of the chorus being drowned in the mix: the line is 'backwards forwards square and round'.

[@charleslatora5750]

Always loved that guitar...

[@surlechapeau]

Jeff Beck on lead guitar. RIP

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Ahh! Been waiting for this on here. You'll love anything by them I believe .

As a kid, I loved the rawness of this song. Yardbirds were great.

[@brownsounddesign]

The entire album is great - early classic rock.

[@NancyFrench-py9gq]

Psychedelia -- the title works with that -- with a Middle Eastern sound, thanks to Jeff Beck's genius.

[@dannylaureys1376]

Love the middle Eastern sound, the genius of Jeff Beck

[@russwalker3119]

Over under sideways down, backwards forwards square and round, refers to life as a confusing mess when you are a youth, or when you are on LSD

[@johnmcgarry9519]

Yall went time machine! Rock will make you bop. Even on LSD. Brad: "...mKay......"

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Jeff Beck tearing it up w/ an early fuzz pedal, playing crazy arabic/exotic lines summer 66, probably 6-12 months before Hendrix broke. RIP the master, the guitar hero of all the other guitar heroes.

"Shape of Things" and "You're a Better Man Than I."

[@usmcrn4418]

Lex’s face was hilarious! That was my wife’s reaction too when she first heard this song 😂😂

[@brainscott8198]

Page is on bass, Jeff Beck on lead guitar...1965

[@samuelgates5935]

Please do Jeff Beck's version of "Cause we've ended as lovers" written by Stevie Wonder.

[@donlee1534]

A very innovative pop hit, even for its time. It got to # 13 in Billboard in 1966. The recently departed Jeff Beck created an unusual mix of Indian scales with a heavy fuzztone on the guitar. This song is both rockin’, raw, and psychedelic. I love Lex’s term for this “rockabilly punk”. British bands like The Yardbirds were trying to do a heavy interpretation of the American blues that they loved (and which a lot of Americans never heard, which made it sound new to them). And of course with all of the “pushing of the boundaries”, that influenced other artists to go further creatively and so on. The mid-sixties saw some of greatest change in popular music and popular culture ever - an extremely exciting time! Unfortunately, a song like this would not make a dent on today’s pop charts.

[@Ezzy762]

my mom loved the Yardbirds. this was a fun throwback. Also Brad, you're thinking about swing dancing

[@mamared56]

"All the things they said were wrong are what I want to be"...the mantra of the sixties LOL!

[@gkiferonhs]

You have to do their song "Heart Full of Soul". That was always the first song for our band; it seemed to help us get together.

[@joes2514]

I've never listened to the words. Never knew the name of the song. But somehow I remember that guitar riff as if it was a #1 hit for a year.

[@chetcarman3530]

Early phases of the Psychedelic genre, mid-60s. (Very Midde Eastern/Indian droning sounds) Def not line dancing or square dancing C&W, lol. I can see how one could get a little hint of Rockabilly in there, however.

[@russallert]

I listened to an interview with Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds, and they said that the basic musical inspiration for the song was Rock Around The Clock, and then they just built a new song on top of that.

[@Buses2Bikes]

YES!!!!! You guys are awesome!

[@roger3141]

You are both right. In the 60's we would dance to the rhythm of a coffee percolator. But the psychedelic and frenetic nature of the song relates to being pulled in all directions at once. We wanted to be patriotic and stand against communism, but the South Vietnamese government was corrupt and our side was committing some atrocities at the same time. We wanted to end racism but Dr. King was about peaceful resistance while the Black Panthers were violent. We had peace demonstrations that turned violent. Everything seemed to be a paradox. To paraphrase Buffalo Springfield "Who's right, if everybody's wrong?"

[@waynemoon5359]

Jeff Beck uses guitar techniques called hammer on(s) and pull offs when playing this riff. This song was on AM radio constantly when it came out. A hammer on is when you pluck a note and then somewhat forcefully press the string creating an instantaneous seamless transition of sound. A pull off is when you are fretting a plucked string and remove your finger creating again an instantaneous seamless transition of sound. Keith Relf was my favorite lead singer for quite some time when I was a kid. He was too cool. Check out the "Heart Full of Soul" live video to see why. Jimmy Page will likely playing lead guitar in that video. A great song from this era that creates a real 60's feel is called "Pushin' Too Hard" by The Seeds. That one was on the radio all the time as well.

[@memorast]

Just thinking about this, you guys doing this would be like me sitting down with my wife and listening to music 70 years older than my time in the 60s……. That would make it 1890! Crazy? There weren’t even recording device is back Then.

I was just becoming a teen when this was popular. Oh the memori😂es!

[@davidhulsizer7576]

Brad & Alex, the singer for Queensryches name is Geoff Tate and he is freaking incredible.

[@CACBCCCU]

Forgot this song had "relativity" in it. I heard "forwards, backwards, square and round" but that's just what works for me. Important to relativity vs. quantum gravity flow, round implies reflective, square implies retro-reflective, to me anyway. Retro-reflection is as "forward-backward" as field reality can be, I suppose. Lowering temperature could be the thing that makes matter more retro-reflective.

[@CACBCCCU]

If you have eight cubes made of silver-coated glass and glue them together for a 2x2x2 block and then cut away each of the eight corners halfway into their joining faces, the result is a corner-cube octet diamond-like omni-retroreflector which is bi-pyramidal (octahedral), a kind of interesting thing especially for resembling the shapes of two bi-pyramidal rubble-piles in space referred to by astronomers as "Bennu" and "Ryugu." It helps if you can visualize these omni-retroreflector forms being able to substantially embody and align together all the nucleons in an entire cold, and/or gravitationally-compressed, object, where gravity information from other such forms is being retroreflected instead of light.

[@aaronarnold7653]

“Lost Woman “ off the same album is a great track as well.

[@clinthowe7629]

this may be interesting to know, the Yardbirds were the original band out of which led Zeppelin sprung, their guitarist, or one of them, Jimmy Page, founded Led Zeppelin, calling it the new Yardbirds. Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton also played on the Yardbirds, three iconic rock guitarists.

[@Jamesscearce]

Love that snappy 60's beat with the jazzy cymbal work, reminds me of "19th Nervous Breakdown" by the Rolling Stones or "Psychotic Reaction" by Count Five... just trippy energetic sixties vibes! Best Yardbirds song along with "Heart Full Of Soul"

[@brainscott8198]

"Over under sideways down...backward, forward square is round.." and "When will they learn..."

[@rokmin8550]

when I DJ lots of people ask me about that "mysterious" instrument in the intro and recurring throughout the song, in fact we used to run a sort of contest to guess the instrument. What is it? By this time probably everyone knows, its just a slightly distorted electric guitar (fuzz tone) played by guitar genius Jeff Beck who sadly recently passed...now you know!

[@dannylaureys1376]

[@frankshaffer7645]

The Rock significance of this song was that it brought more than just the Blues to English Blues-Rock bands. Many of whom picked up the ball and ran with it. The main guitar riff is almost Arabic in influence. In 1966, nobody had ever heard anything like that in Rock/Pop music. It went on inspire a lot of the experimentation with Eastern musics of the Psychedelic Rock era. Jeff Beck always pushed the boundaries of what he was capable of. So you knew the next time you heard him, he wil be pushing it even further.
