For Your Love was my 1st album purchase as a teenager. (73 now) I love A Certain Girl, Good Morning Little School Girls, and others. His voice was COOL, his harmonica, GOOD! RIP Keith Relf, I still LOVE your voice & harp playing...great schtuff to grow up enjoying!
About time Keith Relph had some acknowledgement. Been a Yardbirds fan since I was 18 in 1981, as a guitarist they've influenced me in every band ive played in , even the haircut at that time.Like Brian Jones he had asthma though both played great harmonica. I read in the Yardbirds book that was released around '84 that he had a collapsed lung, which is even more amazing if true.
Fantastic episode, I knew little about the Yardbirds but now I’m motivated to check out more. I loved Renaissance. You are so appreciated! Can I make a couple of future video suggestions? Karen Carpenter, and Rick James. 🤗
@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv it was WONDERFUL! I really appreciated it, so many things I didn’t know and photos I hadn’t seen. I wish he hadn’t passed so young but he certainly lived his life and left an indelible imprint. I’ve been listening to all the songs l loved as a kid, these videos are reminding me of very happy days. It makes the day much sunnier. Thank you!🤗
Thanks for mentioning Jake Holmes. I saw him at the Bitter End but never thought I'd ever hear of him again.He made a fortune as a jingle writer(Be, all that you can be(U.S. Army) and BE A PEPPER( Dr Pepper)
Armageddon was and is an incredible creative rock masterpiece I wish they could have had another I still have this album in regular rotation on my playlist It was styled unlike music from the era
There is a song called "Silver Tightrope" on the Armageddon LP shown here. It is simply an amazing piece of music. I recommend you try it on TH-cam or wherever you stream your music. The words on his headstone are from this song, I think.
The yardbirds were the most influencel grup of their time especially with the greatest guitarist of all time, the brilliant Jeff Beck who made Hendrix ok like a beginner.
The narration fails to mention that Illusion released two albums, Out of the Mist and Illusion (aka Madonna Blue). Relf died during that period and did not appear on the second album. Those two albums were more of a progression from the Renaissance album Illusion than the first Renaissance album. I know. It's confusing with the name changes. IMO, while Illusion's second album is good, Out of the Mist is a masterpiece. My introduction came with the first Renaissance album. I found it in a friend's record stack and asked about it. He said it was OK. He had purchased it because of the former Yardird members. I asked if we could listen to it. I loved it immediately. My friend suddently heard what he had missed before and it became one of our favorite records.
I wonder if the guitar that ended him was a Fender. They have a reputation of giving shocks. I once sat in a music shop playing a brand new Fender and got 2 shocks myself. What a terrible waste of a great musician.
The music buffs said that keith voice was out of tune etc! .So what!!! He knew how to get his music to the crowd and as a singer myself i dont hear a bad voice in him rip keith
Yardbirds were fantastic, undoubtedly one of THE premier exponents of the Tavistock Institute's cynical Frankfurt Schoolish experiments in "culture creation" and the social engineering and psychological conditioning of the great, malleable, mindless masses. It was ALL of 'em- check out Dave McGowan's book ""Strange Scenes In Laurel Canyon" (I think that's the name of it?) and see that almost EVERY one of these "hippy", "counter-culture", hard/heavy/space/ prog/blues/pop rock groups & artists (Credence Clearwater Revival, Mamas and Papas, Janis Joplin, The Byrds/Grateful Dead, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, Crosby/Stills/Young, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and a huge volume MORE of 'em) were ALL the brats of high level CIA/NSA/ORA & military or domestic intelligence apparatus/ cointelpro (etc....) operatives, agents and assets, and most were "schooled" (programmed via MK ULTRA/Project Monarch) in the SAME military base school/complex. A like situation existed in the UK, with EVERY ONE of the so called "British Invasion" bands and artists being the artificial creations and constructs of the UK's Tavistock Institute, the biggest, most insidious & FAKEST of 'em ALL being The Beatles (please locate, & examine the research and content also of Mike Williams "Sage of Quay" channel & blogs, much of which has now been censored and removed from here and the wider edifice of 'giggle' corporate technocracy antisocial media platforms........). After the heads of what might loosely & vulgarly be termed "the Illuminati" determinedly declared "open war" against the longstanding dominance of the Christian religion/faith, ethos/morality and depth of societal foundation, the Beatles were constructed in order to become the planned "tip of the spear" in this agenda to kill off Christianity and slowly contaminate society, culture and the zeitgeist with a wholesale assault upon & erosion of western morality by degrees: sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, eastern mythological philosophies, & practices, experimentation with & adoption of "new-age" and occult traditions and ritual, the whole 9 yards. They sought to "satanize" society, using subliminal messaging, backmasking, their records even being made/recorded at different, "uppier" and more "positive" frequencies, and NOT the Rockefeller Foundation's insisted upon globally assumed 440hz, and a massive, concerted, and contrived & choreographed and controlled "media blitz(es)" that were anything but "organic". Fascinating subject, how EVERY aspect of popular culture, the movies, actors, musicians and artists, all the "influencers" and such, everything & one put before us- on our TV screens and lil' black mirrors, in the newspapers and behind the news desk, in your beloved & oh-sooooo reliable giggle searches and wiki "fun-factoids" are ALL (often- ) fake bio, artificial construct, programmed, controlled and contrived, cynically instituted pawns of the "culture creators" and their malignant agenda(s) to provoke a darkly alchemical global metamorphosis of human society and the human spirit. But yeah, despite BEING one such in & of this whole sorry system, I still liked the Yardbirds, no matter WHO wrote their "original" material....??
Sounds like a sacrifice at 33 years old pretty hard to electrocute yourself playing guitar. My guess is for some reason he was murdered a ritual sacrifice or A deal with the devil when the payment came due the hell of hound king knocking and it was a shocking experience at 33 years of age or maybe he offended the people down at the lodge
I have been a Yardbird fan since I was a kid. He’s a very underrated singer from that era.
An extraordinary harp player as well.
💯🎯

His voice was dark and mesmerizing fitting perfectly. RIP Keith.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also last night was my friends birthday also my birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Happy Birthday! 🥳 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Keith was a good singer with his Brian Jones hairstyle. Sad ending for him but he is well remembered !
At least he didn’t waste the time he had.He lived a full life.
Thanks for mentioning Jake Holmes. I saw him at the Bitter End but never thought I'd ever hear of him again.He made a fortune as a jingle writer(Be, all that you can be(U.S. Army) and BE A PEPPER( Dr Pepper)
It's nice that somebody put some of his lyrics from Armageddon's Silver Tightrope on his headstone.
Armageddon was and is an incredible creative rock masterpiece
I wish they could have had another
I still have this album in regular rotation on my playlist
It was styled unlike music from the era
Thank you for this well-researched video
So glad you enjoyed it! 🥰 Thank you for watching 😁
Always loved their progressive, psychedelic phase, which received a lot of airplay.
Its bloody sad it was..🙏🏻 rest easy mate. The yard birds were way cooler than Zeppelin.

You're right about the headstone
Sad loss and a great tribute
Thank you so much, I appreciate you 🥰
The yardbirds were the most influencel grup of their time especially with the greatest guitarist of all time, the brilliant Jeff Beck who made Hendrix ok like a beginner.
he had a heart full of soul
Yeah, but…Still I’m Sad.
How extraordinary. Death by electric guitar...not from his medical problems.
People theorise that his medical conditions led to him not being able to survive the electrocution
Great voice too!
Greatest musician in history
A great front man and musician!
can you visit keith relf from the yardbirds hes at richmond cemetry thankyou great videos thankyou

I saw kieth at the country club in belsize park sad i cant remember anything
His grave stone features a line from silver titerope....enuf said!
Proper grounding when using electrics
I wonder if the guitar that ended him was a Fender. They have a reputation of giving shocks. I once sat in a music shop playing a brand new Fender and got 2 shocks myself. What a terrible waste of a great musician.
That's very interesting? It was such a loss of an amazing artist and human being 😥💔
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀👍
The music buffs said that keith voice was out of tune etc! .So what!!! He knew how to get his music to the crowd and as a singer myself i dont hear a bad voice in him rip keith
In my opinion, his harmonica playing and vocals were the driving force of the yardbirds.
Good point! ☺👍
Smokin Little Band They Were
It was a cement floor.
Sooooo , death by Fender
Must of smoked a lot to have emphysema at such a young age.
He had asthma too. Made it worse.
@@sararichmond8476 I have emphysema and asthma myself, it sucks.

Music was great. clothes were ridiculous.
Man you make some excellent videos but you are an awful narrator and you need to research the proper pronunciation of people’s names.
Make your own video then. He made a fantastic and informative video
@@swoovey That's what I do, it's my job.
another one who's ego would not let him just get a normal job, no let's make music and get easy big money "yeah man"
That's a bit harsh. He was a naturally talented guy, with real talent. RIP KEITH.
@@essexboy5520 the point i'm making is there is not room for everyone, he was not that good either, why don't they call it a day and do a normal job
@@bobtudbury8505 OK I understand, but who wants to work for the man if you don't have to.
@@essexboy5520 then he could go self-employed window cleaner?
