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



Jeff Beck Group. August 12th 1967.
     Jeff Beck played on the Saturday night and a tape may exist of part of this set. I  say MAY exist , as I have a tape that perports to be this show, but which is identical to two others I have which are labelled Sunbury 1968 and Reading 68. My guess the correct venue is  Reading, as other tapes exist from that Festival and I have not yet come across any recordings of the 67 or 68 Nat Jazz fests. So far I've not been able to track down any other recordings from this festival, please contact me if you know of more.

Personnel.


Jeff Beck - Vocal and lead guitar
Ron Wood- bass
Rod Stewart- vocals.
Mickey Waller- drums

Set List.

Can I get A Witness
Talk to You Later.
I Got To Leave Early This Morning .
Rock Me Baby
Hi Ho Silver Lining

   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 ofn Beck's 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 email me.
