– Jeff Beck Group – BBC Sessions 1967-1968 –

Since I ran one of the last Yardbirds sessions for the BBC last night, I thought I would toss in a Yardbirds alumnus, who was on the rise around the time of those last Yardbirds sessions. The Jeff Beck Group also wound up being a springboard of talent who would pass through the ranks.

In 1967 The Jeff Beck Group consisted of Beck, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Mickey Waller and Dave Ambrose.

On this post are excerpts from two sessions the group did for The BBC; three tracks from 1967 and one track from 1968.

Here’s what’s on the player:

    Needless to say, after The Yardbirds there was no looking back.

    Pardon us while we beg:

    You know we’ve been weathering storms, hysteria, lock-outs, shutdowns and malfunctions since 2012 and in all that time we’ve never stopped making Past Daily a place where you come and discover things – old things and new things you may have missed. Past Daily is a huge endeavor and it normally would take a bunch of people handling different chores to pull off the day-to-day that we do. But it’s just me and my archive – this batch of sounds that I refer to every day is what I do because I don’t want to be part of the problem. Knowing things, especially History makes you an informed person – someone who can look at the world objectively and make up your own mind. We don’t do click-bait, come-ons, phishing expeditions or thirst traps – what you see is what you get – and hopefully what you get is a different perspective on things that can only help and not hurt you.

    But doing a site like Past Daily take a lot of time and uses a lot of money to keep running – it’s expensive – and that’s why we need your help. Consider becoming a Patron or kicking in for a cup of coffee or two or putting a few bucks in the kitty via PayPal. It all helps keep the site rolling. Yeah, we run ads because we have to, even though I hate them – they only contribute pennies each month, but every penny is never wasted.

    It’s easy to become a Patron – just click on the link and you’ll be given a bunch of choices; one time – a specified time – forever. It’s up to you. Once you subscribe you get to join the secret society of folks who can download all this audio for your very own library to use every day as our way of saying thank you. We haven’t gotten to the coffee-cup and t-shirt phase yet (once the operating expenses get taken care of, we’re going to offer percs – I swear!)

    But whatever you do, we need you and we want you to come back every day because there is new stuff being posted at least three times a day and it’s eclectic. You may not like everything but it’s your choice and it’s available.

    Do what you can – we keep the hounding down to a minimum because I want to let the posts speak for themselves – but we can certainly use the company.

    Now back to your program.
