Did anyone else see "Blow Up" when it was on? For those who missed it, it's a 1966 film about a photographer who accidentally photographs a murder. Well, later in the film he goes to a night club where The Yardbirds are playing "Train Kept A-Rolling"... It's the Page and Beck Yardbirds. It's sort of a funny scene because Beck is having a problem with his amp and he starts smacking it with his guitar. Finally he gets angry and smashes his guitar. They cut to Page who then looks up from his Tele and has a laugh at Beck's antics.

Anyway, you really have to stick with the film. I prefer the American remake, which was "Blow Out"... more action and suspense in that one. And better acted... but alas, no Yardbirds...

saw the remake good movie cant wait to see the original just for the scene you described thanks for the heads up

Gratz, over on the other guitar site they show that particular clip on one of their Jeff Beck features. It's a while back since I saw it but it will probably still be there. ( Ok I'll say it, Gibson site )

Thanks CCyr, yep that's it. I've just been trawling through the gibson site, it's there but it's been blocked now. Some copyright thing.
Anyway, there you go Gratz, this is it.
Cheers CCyr

Hello CCyr,

Thanks for the vid link, mighty entertaining.

Check it out at the 2:54 mark and you see he grabs a
Les Paul Standard, Heritage Cherry Sunburst methinks.
