SteveAJones Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Yardbirds '66 Photo Gallery: http://www.q95.com/cc-common/gallery/ The set of 21 color photos in the gallery were taken on Fri, August 12th 1966 at the Indiana Beach Ballroom in Monticello, IN. This was Jimmy's eighth concert performance in the United States and they performed two separate shows (sets) before moving on to play the Cold Spring Resort in Terre Haute, IN that night. Jimmy appears in photos 6-7, 9, 11-13, 18-19 & 21 with photo 13 being the best of the assortment. He was the bassist with Jeff Beck as the lead guitarist. They returned to IN to play the Indiana State University - Memorial Field House in Terre Haute on November 9th 1966. I would very much appreciate any additional photos or newpaper ads/reviews which can be found. Kind Regards, Steve A. Jones Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Jimmy is better on guitar. just thought I should point out the obvious. Quote
the ocean Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 A thing of beauty in all their technicolor glory! Thanks for that. Quote
ally Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 A thing of beauty in all their technicolor glory! Thanks for that. Yeah, it is cool to see them in colour. Nice pics Quote
mos6507 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Jimmy's playing up in front of the stage which is unusual for a bassist, at least a bassist who doesn't double as lead singer (ala Cream). Too bad there is no bootleg to go with this. Quote
alwizard03 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks Steve Great pics also The Who pics were cool also. Quote

Stargroves Tangie Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 October 24,25 or 26 1966 Filmed lip-syncing to 'Happenings…' for 'The Milton Berle Show' telecast which was to air 11 Nov 1966 but aired 2 Dec 66 I would have loved to see this- "Happenings..." is one of my favorite Yardbirds songs! Since we're discussing Jimmy & The Yardbirds- I was listening to "Glimpses" from Little Games today and was wondering if that's a sitar Jimmy's playing on it or is it just a guitar tuned to sound like one ?(sorry to all the guitarists if this is a stupid question) Quote
rileymaher Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I know Jimmy Page bows the guitar continually through that track. and it has "flanging/Phasing" on it. I always played it with the low E tuned down to a D. that helps make it drone like a sitar. Quote

I can add only that I have most if not all of the Little Games album session recordings and I will go through them to see if the alternate takes or studio chatter reveals anything further to what riley said.

SteveAJones Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Just a quick note to add The Milton Berle telecast (so far as I know) is not in circulation. Another mastertape to locate and liberate! Edited March 18, 2008 by SteveAJones Quote

Thanks Steve- is that the "Little Games Sessions & More" (EMI Legends of Rock & Roll Series) cd you're talking about, or is there another cd of Little Games sessions out there? Quote
SteveAJones Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 Just a note to mention a segment from 'The Milton Berle Show' telecast on Dec 2, 1966 does appear in Rhino Home Video's 1992 VHS release 'The Yardbirds', which is a music and interview retrospective. I seem to recall Jimmy and Peter Grant interviews are also included. Quote
rileymaher Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) ohh does anyone have acess to that footage?! the only beck+page footage i've seen is from blow up (stroll on) and them doing happenings on a weird tv show. (both lead guitar) and the one from france where page is on bass and beck on guitar. Edited March 19, 2008 by rileymaher Quote
