jimmie ray Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm really blown away by "Evil Hearted You" - it's so chaotic and raw. But not sure which guitarist is on this one (someone made a CD for me, no notes on it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure which guitarist is on this one (someone made a CD for me, no notes on it)? I believe it's during Beck's tenure. My favorite non-Jimmy song is Heart Full of Soul. Favorite Jimmy-song is Happenings Ten Years Time Ago (I wish the title was shorter, though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks - I believe Jeff Beck was their last guitar player? There's really so many great Yardbirds songs - yet ask most people to just name three, and see their reaction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docron Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've got to say it seems like a cop-out, but I think For Your Love is their best in terms of standing the test of time. The few versions the Led Zeppelin played live were really psychadelic. I'm only 23 though, so what do I know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope...Jimmy was...and when the band "disbanded" he started another band..who's name escapes me..let's see, something about a metallic something. Oh well, I'm sure it went over like a lead zeppelin. I agree that most people don't know too much about the Yardies (forum members excluded). But I have a soft spot for Keith Relf. He always seemed so sad and soulful. I'm glad you're into them too!

Suz Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I used to have a cassete tape of them with a cheap-ass picture on the front. Pagey was in the pic, but the songs were from before he was there. I don't remember where I got it. Heart Full of Soul was on it, and I can't remember what else. I need to listen to some Yardbirds to refresh my memory. Was Page the first guy to have his guitar hanging way down like that? When you see footage 60's bands, their guitars are up really high and it looks kind of funny to me.

Stargroves Tangie Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 As much as I like Jimmy, most of my favorite Yardbirds songs are the ones that Jeff Beck plays on: Mister You're A Better Man Than I Train Kept A Rollin' I'm Not Talking Over Under Sideways Down Shapes Of Things and, Happenings Ten Years Time Ago (which of course is Jeff & Jimmy together) The song that I like the best with just Jimmy on it is Puzzles.

I love the Yardbirds and you've listed some of my favorite Yardies' songs. Of those, Train Kept A Rollin' and Happenings Ten Years Time Ago are my favorites. My favorite Jimmy and Jeff collaboration is "Beck's Bolero" (with Jonesy on bass). My husband, who is a huge Jeff Beck fan, introduced me to the song. He was the one who told me that Jimmy played on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detigers09 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I really like New York City Blues, even if it did prove to me that Jimmy ripped of the opening riff for Since I've Been Loving You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ro_a Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" Second choice maybe, "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" Those are mine. There is also a Springboards records knockoff of Shapes of Things and features a covershot of Jeff Beck with his oxblood Les Paul. This has an instrumental I'm really keen on, but I can't remember the title. Bitchin slide solo though.

Stargroves Tangie Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Mr. Your A Better Man....Anderson Theatre Oh yeah- this would be my favorite Live Yardbirds track- excellent version & love the way it goes right into Heart Full of Soul! Good to see a lot of people here are Yardbirds fans too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Shapes of Things - Blew me away when I first heard it. Think I was ten years old. I'm a Man - Love the speeded up version of the original. I think it was by Muddy Waters. Over Under Sideways Down - Who can't love that guitar riff and boogie bass line. Smokestack Lightning - the live version kicks ass. Keith Relf doesn't get his due as a harpist. Heart Full of Soul - Great tune written by Graham Gouldman, later of 10CC. of all the sixties groups I have to say The Yardbirds were most influential for me. Not just because of the legendary guitarists, but the way they interpreted the blues spawned a whole era of boogie style groups that would come later in the decade (ie; Savoy Brown, Canned Heat, etc.) and on into the next one. Fantastic group that's a must listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) I've got to say it seems like a cop-out, but I think For Your Love is their best in terms of standing the test of time. I think it sucks because you can barely hear any guitar in it until the chorus. Sounds like a harpsicord. There is more bongos in it than anything else.

docron Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Mr. Your A Better Man....Anderson Theatre Its really a shame there isn't more available as far as bootleg performances go... I heard the Anderson Theatre show and I was hooked... I think I'm to the point of venturing out and getting a studio album or two of theirs'.
