Music videos that feature EB0 to EB4 and SG variant basses...

Anyone care to spot who the guitarist is...?

EB2...? yes...? how the hell did you remember that one Gary...?

But you did remind me of this one and the film spawned the NY song A Man Needs A Maid...



... and another link from that...

To Sir With Love was on AMC last night, so I noticed it while I watched.  I don't recognize the guitarist, but I did look up the name.  It's not who you usually associate with that guitar.

Actually, on checking, I think it might have been two of the ten in a later version but I'm not that fussed with their prehistory - they did have a couple of good hits in their own right...



... and wandering round that era found others...

 

 

Might have had this Zombies one earlier but not sure and too tired to check back...

Can we allow a Rivoli as an honorary EB2...?

Of course, it's an EB2 variant. I've already posted at least two videos with Rivolis earlier in this thread, by The Fortunes and The Tremeloes.

I didn't know the Yardbirds had done Dazed and Confused. They sure shouldn't have. Keith Relf is no Robert Plant, that much I now know, he's awkwardly ill at ease throughout. What a dif between the two. Plant's voice must have sounded like the dawning of a new age to Page.

Robert Plant just went up a few notches on my rate-o-meter, Rob, are you listeninng?

I tried offering it once as an EB-2 variant at another place and was severely chastised, but hopefully it's okay here.

We have "Honest Dave's Seal of Approval"...!

Uwe... the end of the Yardbirds and the beginning of LZ is a bit blurry and there was even a live LP released but quickly withdrawn with a song entitled "I'm Confused..."



I had a boot' of it and still have it on tape somewhere but it is very irritating due to the dubbed "cocktail-bar" noises...

It's not a song by Page and he nicked it off a support act they toured with...



As a curious aside one of the Yardbirds (reputedly) lived in the house next-door to me (we moved here in '92) and Page used to go to my school (Heston) - you noted the Heathrow connection to DP too being that I was a born 'ounslow boy...

Honest Dave's seal of approval has way more credibility than that of the people who were ignorantly disagreeing with me.

I can remember the excitement of getting the first Yardbirds' album.  I think I must have been 14 and it was a Christmas present wrapped under the tree.  I was literally losing my mind having to wait until Christmas to open that present.  Seriously, it was tough, and although long ago, I can remember the intensity of all that.

I liked most of the Yardbirds songs I've heard.  The vocals on that one, however, are horrifying.  It sounds worse than the average mid-60s garage band lead singer.  That's embarrassing.

I remember around 1980, one of the Chicago rock stations came across that Yardbirds version of "I'm Confused". Zep was still a huge deal in the suburbs and high schools of America!

Stumbled onto these two earlier this evening... have I posted these before...?

 

[westen44]

I hadn't seen it before--a great example.

 Here's Jimmy Lea and the rest of Slade...............
Kinda surprised this somehow hasn't been posted (or did I miss it), the perils of playing live! They definatly stub their toe @ 2:40, H and Jim are pretty flat with the backing vocals....... It doesn't matter, I'll always love Slade!   


 

[Highlander]

There have been a few Slade posted (mostly Stu or myself) but not sure if that ones been here before so a worthy post, Ma'am...

Keep digging for em...
