Train kept a rolling never gets old. This was the last incarnation of the Yardbirds at their very best. The song was way beyond its time!

[@Rick-tf4dl]

Agreed when you listen Zeppelin you think what a revolutionary sound where in the hell this come from? Now I am listening to this live version of the Yardbirds and realize this is the missing link the stepping stone from early 60's rock/blues to 70's rock/blues thanks for history lesson

[@ginoferiante7140]

Jeff Beck wasn’t there was he? So not the best version of the Yardbirds 😂 No disrespect to Jimmy Page

[@strawhousepig]

Without Paul Samwell-Smith I must disagree that they're at their best.

[@adcs88]

The song was way beyond it’s time - yeh because it came out 17 years before this video.

[@SuperAmin1950]

@ginoferiante7140 They were in the band together, however briefly; Page came in on bass, then Beck left and Page took over sole guitar duties. I saw this incarnation at a club called 'Thee Image', on Miami Beach/Sunny Isles; I may have been smoking 'grass', but I can't confirm that. 🫢

[@christopher9152]

Jim's drumming and Keith's harp playing are outstanding here.

[@martinsplichal1581]

Yeah, Keith Relf was a monster harp player and Jim McCarty no slouch on the kit.

[@petr3788]

The drumming is as it's supposed to be in real rock.

[@pdhudsonUSMC]

According to John Paul Jones this was the first song that the group known as The New Yardbirds ever jammed on. He said they played it and all looked at each other and knew that they were going to be something special.

Great Keith Relf, playing your harmonica ✌️🎵🎶

It was in different bands but Sammy Hagar has been in bands with Ronnie Montrose, Eddie Van Halen and Joe Satriani. None of them are slouches.

[@garethjenkins6273]

How can anyone make a claim that 3 musicians were the greatest ever. Page and Beck were superb. Clapton less so. But this is all subjective. Everyone has their own favourites. Is Clapton better than Hendrix, John Mclaughlin, Terry Kath or Howling Wolf. Some people may have totally different ideas as to the kind of guitarist they love to listen to - It could be Ron Ashton, Tom Verlaine, John Mcgeoch or Johnny Marr. But no one can say that any of these are the greatest ever.

[@nellymartinez2110]

Spectacular music, incredible band, Jimmy Page, a guitar master from beginning!!🎸🐉🔥🔥

[@michaelesgro9506]

Yes, I remember reading that he was reluctant to give up being a well-paid studio/session player to join the Yardbirds and be in a touring, up front in the limelight band. I believe he was doing that kind of work since about 14 or 15 years old!!! I should google it though to be sure. EDIT: So yeah, he was a tad older, 15 or 16 and was doing session work for other artists. His Wiki page has an "EARLY 60s: Session Work" section in his bio if anyone is interested. Born in 1944

[@Dallin456]

People forget that Pagie was a highly respected and sought after sessions musician by this time. His confidence and swagger had been gradually developed, and showed in live performance. Sessions musicians don’t get much practice time on new music, and must be highly versatile and improvisational. It is the proving ground for many future guitar heroes.

Anyone and everyone played and launched their careers there. Even Led Zeppelin in 1969 their tour that started it all. Oh...Steve Tyler was there that night and Jimmy Page stole his girlfriend and took her to his hotel room that night! Not much of a girlfriend...I'd say! What a Music 🎶 ride!

[@randallkomisarek2875]

I came from a jazz background and didn't really get rock . . . until I saw the movie Blowup. That segment in the movie was so powerful that it caused me to look into rock. And from there electric blues (Bloomfield, Muddy, others) and the Stones. The movie segment now appears pretty tame in terms of volume, but those power chords, oh my. And yes, Zeppelin starts here.

[@mattack6779]

Watching Page play here reminds me of a horse like Secretariat being held back until the final stretch. He is just dying to take off on a 15 minute solo like the one he played in Dazed and confused at Madison Square Garden. You know the show I am talking about with that other band he was in later. I can't think of their name right now, but they were pretty good too.

[@davemathews7890]

Love Jimmy's Carnaby Street gear!

[@sha1om]

This was actually a mashup of two songs by Johnny Burnette’s Rock And Roll Trio, released back to back on one 45 (or 78). The tune and lyric was from the A-side, but that wicked guitar riff came from Paul Burlison’s busted amp on the B-side, which was a cover of Joe Turner’s “Honey Hush”. Every subsequent recording of this song used the merged version, with the B-side riff over the A-side melody. Sugarloaf even gave songwriting credits to the Yardbirds when they covered it.

[@robbranigin2645]

i never tire of watching this clip. what an incredible band. this incarnation of the yardbirds was highly underrated for many, many years. glad to see the page era is finally getting some long-overdue love. everybody here is just killing it - great vocal and harp from keith, jim's drumming is fantastic, chris keeping it grounded on bass, and page at the absolute top of his game - grooving on the riff and tearing up the solo. great, great stuff. i love led zeppelin, but it's a real shame this lineup of the yardbirds didn't last longer than it did. wow.

[@Aldoborzoni]

Don't miss their rendition of this song in the cinema masterpiece "Blow Up". The best combination of two art forms!

[@charleskennedy8695]

Yes Blow up was a great movie and interestingly technically the song was not Train Kept a rollin because contract disputes so they called it Stroll On . Even though it sounds exactly like train kept a rolling...fun fact

Antonioni 1966. J & J playing together. Once Beck left, it was inevitable that Page had to make the band evolve. If I'm not mistaken, with JPJones + the two country boys, they did a tour under the name New Yardbirds...

[@Twittler1]

Jimmy Page had ideas about how things should sound, especially the guitar. When he finally got LZ together and in the studio, they were dynamite. But what you hear on the records is Page’s best bits grafted together by JPJ. The idea wasn’t matched by Page’s ability. A competent and sought after session man and producer, his ability never matched what he wanted to do with driving rock. He lacked speed when fluent, fluency when fast. His brain was too fast for his fingers. There’s the occasional gem, but we hear the best of him on studio recordings. His live playing with LZ ranged from adequate to embarrassingly bad. He seems to have believed his own publicity, and relied too much on his self belief and not enough on hard work honing his craft. I’m a big LZ fan from the start, and love all of it. But when you hear a mistake or stumble (all popular musicians do both from time to time), it’s always Page!

[@richalderson6069]

That opening riff made me think "Oh, it found it's way into Dazed and Confused!".

[@g.m.watson1963]

Gotta love how Page tears into his solo (why is the guitar so muted?) and the camera stays on Relf staring at Page, off-camera to his left. By the time the cameraman clues into what Page is doing the solo's halfway over. Most filmmakers and TV producers/directors had not a friggin' clue how to film rock performances in the 60s (and into the 70s. despite Woodstock-the-movie).;
