The Seventh National Jazz and Blues Festival.
11th , 12th & 13th August 1967.
Royal Windsor Racecourse.


Recordings and setlists.


    These are recordings purported to be from the National Jazz festival. The problem is that at least two- Mayall and Jeff Beck, , have cirulated for years labelled as being from Reading .The Jeff Beck set I have from Windsor 67 is identical to two others which are labelled Sunbury 1968 and Reading 68. Who knows which is correct, I've added them here in the hope the original taper comes forward to clear up the doubts.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Jeff Beck Group.

August 12th 1967.

see Ron Woods database for more info on Jeff beck group of this era   


Personnel.

Jeff Beck - Vocal and lead guitar
Ron Wood- bass
Rod Stewart- vocals.
Aynsley Dunbar - drums

   This is a high energy set from Beck and the boys, of surprisingly good recording quality considering its outdoors and the PA was reputedly very quiet and had constant  problems during the festival. There are a few minor distortions on the vocals during Hi Ho , but the rest of its very good. Rod Stewart is in fine voice and its definitely worth looking for if you are collector of early Beck performances.
 

   This would not appear to be the entire performance, its only about 20 minutes long. Its likely they played more, if you have the rest of the set or know where I can find it ,then please Contact us.
